³⁴ that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ ^(A)occupation has been with livestock ^(B)from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is ^(C)an^[a] abomination to the Egyptians.”

^6 (A)The land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell ^(B)in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.”

Joseph’s Vow to Jacob
