Genesis 46:34 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Genesis 46:34

32 And the men are ^ashepherds, 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, ^a‘What is your ^boccupation?’

34 that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ occupation has been with livestock ^afrom our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is ^ban abomination to the Egyptians.”

Genesis 46:31-34

Joseph said, . . . I will go up, and show Pharaoh—It was a tribute of respect due to the king to inform him of their arrival. And the instructions which he gave them were worthy of his character alike as an affectionate brother and a religious man.
