* 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 , 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 father 's house , I will go up , and shew Pharaoh , and say unto him , My brethren , and my father 's house , which were in the land of Canaan , are come unto me ; * And the men are shepherds , for their trade hath been to feed cattle ; and they have brought their flocks , 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 ? * 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 is an abomination unto the Egyptians .
