Genesis 46:23-34 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

23. And the sons of Dan: Hushim.

24. --And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.

25. --These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter; and she bore these to Jacob: all the souls were seven.

26. All the souls that came with Jacob to Egypt, that had come out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives: all the souls were sixty-six.

27. And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob that came to Egypt were seventy.

28. And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to give notice before he came to Goshen. And they came into the land of Goshen.

29. Then Joseph yoked his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and he presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

30. And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, after I have seen thy face, since thou still livest.

31. And Joseph said to his brethren and to his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to me;

32. and the men are shepherds, for they have been occupied with cattle; and they have brought their sheep, and their cattle, and all that they have.

33. And it shall come to pass that when Pharaoh shall call you and say, What is your occupation?

34. then ye shall say, Thy servants are men that have been occupied with cattle from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
