*
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph ,
to direct his face unto Goshen ;
and they came into the land of Goshen .
*
And Joseph made ready his chariot ,
and went up to meet Israel his father ,
to Goshen ,
and presented himself unto him ;
and he fell on his neck tsavva #
r #,
and wept on his neck a good while .
*
And Israel said unto Joseph ,
Now let me die ,
since I have seen thy face ,
because thou art yet alive .
*
And Joseph said unto his brethren ,
and unto his fathers house ,
I will go up ,
and shew Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and say unto him ,
My brethren ,
and my fathers house ,
which were in the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #,
are come unto me ;
*
And the men are shepherds ra #
tso #
n #,
for their trade hath been to feed cattle ;
and they have brought their flocks tso #
n #,
and their herds ,
and all that they have .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when Pharaoh shall call you ,
and shall say ,
What is your occupation ma #
aseh #?
*
That ye shall say ,
Thy servants trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now ,
both we ,
and also our fathers :
that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen ;
for every shepherd ra #
is an abomination unto the Egyptians .
