ત્યારે તમારે આ પ્રમાણે કહેવું, ‘તારા ચાકરોનો એટલે અમારો તથા અમારા પિતૃઓનો વ્યવસાય નાનપણથી તે અત્યાર સુધી જાનવરો પાળવાનો છે.’ આ પ્રમાણે કહેશો એટલે તમને ગોશેન દેશમાં રહેવાની પરવાનગી મળશે. કેમ કે મિસરીઓ ભરવાડોને ધિક્કારે છે.”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ४६:३४
तब यह कहना, ‘तेरे दास लड़कपन से लेकर आज तक पशुओं को पालते आए हैं, वरन् हमारे पुरखा भी ऐसा ही करते थे।’ इससे तुम गोशेन देश में रहने पाओगे; क्योंकि सब चरवाहों से मिस्री लोग घृणा करते हैं ।”
