Genesis 46:31-34
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 46
31
But Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, 'I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who
were
in the land of Canaan, have come to me;
32
and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’
33
When Pharaoh calls for you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’
34
you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock since our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.'
King James Version
Chapter 46
31
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;
32
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.
33
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
34
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 46
31
Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s family, "I will go up and inform Pharaoh, telling him, ‘My brothers and my father’s family, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32
The men are shepherds; they also raise livestock. They have brought their flocks and herds and all that they have.’
33
When Pharaoh addresses you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
34
you are to say, ‘Your servants, both we and our fathers, have raised livestock from our youth until now.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to Egyptians."
New Living Translation
Chapter 46
31
And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s entire family, 'I will go to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘My brothers and my father’s entire family have come to me from the land of Canaan.
32
These men are shepherds, and they raise livestock. They have brought with them their flocks and herds and everything they own.’'
33
Then he said, 'When Pharaoh calls for you and asks you about your occupation,
34
you must tell him, ‘We, your servants, have raised livestock all our lives, as our ancestors have always done.’ When you tell him this, he will let you live here in the region of Goshen, for the Egyptians despise shepherds.'
English Standard Version

32
And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’
33

Chapter 46
31
Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, "I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were living in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32
The men are shepherds; they tend livestock, and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’
33
When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
34
you should answer, ‘Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians."

31
Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who
were
in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32
And the men
are
shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.’
33
So it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’
34
that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ occupation has been with livestock from our youth even till now, both we
and
also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd
is
an abomination to the Egyptians.”
