Genesis 46:32-34

Lexham English Bible

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,’^[a] so that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is a detestable thing to Egyptians.”
