28. And he sent Yehuḏah before him to Yosĕph, to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen.
29. And Yosĕph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Yisra’ĕl. And he appeared to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a long time.
30. And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.”
31. And Yosĕph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I am going up to inform Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land of Kena‛an, have come to me.
32. ‘And the men are shepherds, that they have been men of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds, and all that they have.’
33. “And it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’
34. that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been men of livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ so that you dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Mitsrites.”
