Verse 34

That ye shall say{H559}{(H8804)}, Thy servants{H5650}' trade{H582} hath been about cattle{H4735} from our youth{H5271} even until now, both we, and also our fathers{H1}: that ye may dwell{H3427}{(H8799)} in the land{H776} of Goshen{H1657}; for every shepherd{H7462}{(H8802)}{H6629} is an abomination{H8441} unto the Egyptians{H4714}.
