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
.
