Genesis 46:30-32

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ Israel said to Joseph, “I have seen for myself that you are still alive. Now I’m ready to die.”

³¹ Then Joseph spoke to his brothers and to the rest of his father’s family. He said, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh. I’ll say to him, ‘My brothers and the rest of my father’s family have come to me. They were living in the land of Canaan. ³² The men are shepherds. They take care of livestock. They’ve brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’
