46:27  And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were three score and ten.
46:28  And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
46:29  And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
46:30  And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are yet alive.
46:31  And Joseph said unto his brothers, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brothers, and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
46:32  And the men are shepherds, for their trade has been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
46:33  And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
46:34  That you shall say, Your servants' trade has been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
