28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph to present himself before him in Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 And Joseph made ready his chariots, and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen, and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck for a while. 30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, my son, because you are still alive. 31 And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, I will go up and inform Pharaoh, and 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 cattle raisers; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have. 33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you and shall say to you. What is your occupation? 34 You shall say to him, Your servants are cattle raisers from their youth even until now, both we and also our fathers; that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for the Egyptians despise all those who feed sheep.
