³⁰ And Israel said to^▵ Joseph, Let me die, after that I have seen thy faces, that thou art yet alive.

³¹ And Joseph said to^▵ his brothers, and to^▵ his father’s house, I will go·​·up, and will tell Pharaoh, and will say to^▵ him, My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to^▵ me;

³² and the men^◦ are shepherds of the flock, for they are men^◦ of livestock; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have^◦.

³³ And it may be that Pharaoh will call you, and will say, What are your works^◦?

³⁴ And you shall say: Thy servants have been men^◦ of livestock from our youth and even until now, both^◦ we^◦, and^◦ our fathers; so·​·that^◦ you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd of the flock is an abomination of Egypt.
