rsv@Genesis:46:32 @ and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.'
rsv@Genesis:46:33 @ When Pharaoh calls you, and says, `What is your occupation?'
rsv@Genesis:46:34 @ you shall say, `Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' in order that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
