Genesis 46:31-34 New English Translation (NET)

31. Then Joseph said to his brothers and his father’s household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh, ‘My brothers and my father’s household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me.

32. The men are shepherds; they take care of livestock. They have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’

33. Pharaoh will summon you and say, ‘What is your occupation?’

34. Tell him, ‘Your servants have taken care of cattle from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen, for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting to the Egyptians.”
