Genesis 46:32; Genesis 46:34

32 And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'

34 you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' in order that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
