4 I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I myself will also bring you up. And Joseph will place his hand over your eyes."

30 Then Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die since I have seen your face, for you are still alive."

31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, "I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and I will say to him, 'My brothers and my father's household who [were] in the land of Canaan have come to me.

32 And the men [are] shepherds, for they are men of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their cattle and all that they have.'

33 And it shall be [that] when Pharaoh calls you he will say, 'What [is] your occupation?'

34 Then you must say, 'You servants [are] men of livestock from our childhood until now, both we and also our ancestors,' so that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd [is] a detestable thing to Egyptians."
