32 A nd 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.’

34 t hat 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.”

قُولُوا لَهُ: ‹كُنّا، نَحْنُ خُدّامَكَ، نُرَبِّي المَواشِيَ مُنذُ صِغَرِنا إلَى الآنَ، أباً عَنْ جَدٍّ.› قُولُوا هَذا لِكَي تَسْكُنُوا فِي أرْضِ جاسانَ. فَكُلُّ راعٍ مَكرُوهٌ فِي مِصْرَ.»
