Genesis 46:32-34 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

32. The men are shepherds; they tend livestock, and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.”

33. When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, “What is your occupation?”

34. you should answer, “Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.” Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.’
