28He sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.
29Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. He presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."
31Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father`s house, "I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, `My brothers, and my father`s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.`
33It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, `What is your occupation?`
34that you shall say, `Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:` that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
