约瑟引导诸兄弟见法老；(喻)推荐

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;

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.

And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?

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.

Gen.46:31-34

约瑟对他的弟兄和他父的全家说：“我要上去告诉法老，对他说：‘我的弟兄和我父的全家，从前在迦南地，现今都到我这里来了。

他们本是牧羊的人，以养牲畜为业，他们把羊群牛和一切所有的都带来了。’

等法老召你们的时候，问你们说：‘你们以何事为业?’

你们要说：‘你的仆人，从幼年直到如今，都以养牲畜为业，连我们的祖宗也都以此为业。’这样，你们可以住在歌珊地，因为凡牧羊的，都被埃及人所厌恶。”

《创世纪》46∶31－34］
