Genesis 46:28-34 - Jacob Arrives In Egypt

²⁸ He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to appear before him in Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen. ²⁹ Then Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He presented himself to him and fell upon his neck and wept upon his neck a long time.

³⁰ Then Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die since I have seen your face, for you are still alive."

³¹ Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, "I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and I will say to him, 'My brothers and my father's household who [were] in the land of Canaan have come to me. ³² And the men [are] shepherds, for they are men of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their cattle and all that they have.' ³³ And it shall be [that] when Pharaoh calls you he will say, 'What [is] your occupation?' ³⁴ Then you must say, 'You servants [are] men of livestock from our childhood until now, both we and also our ancestors,' so that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd [is] a detestable thing to Egyptians."
