Genesis 46:28-34

28Now he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out the way before him to aGoshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29And Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; as soon as he appeared 1before him, he fell on his neck and awept on his neck a long time. 30Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now I can die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.” 31And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “aI will go up and tell Pharaoh and say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me; 32and the men are shepherds, for they have been 1keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ 33And it will be when Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘aWhat is your occupation?’ 34then you shall say, ‘Your servants have been 1,akeepers of livestock from our youth and until now, both we and our fathers,’ that you may 2live in the land of bGoshen; for every shepherd is can abomination to the Egyptians.”
