Genesis 46:33-34
33When Pharaoh calls you and says, a‘What is your occupation?’ 34you shall say, b‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock cfrom our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ in order that you may dwell din the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is ean abomination to the Egyptians.”Amos 7:14-15
14Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, f“I was ▼▼Or am; twice in this verse
no prophet, nor a prophet’s son, but hI was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 iBut the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Jonah 1:8
8Then they said to him, “Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?”2 Thessalonians 3:10
10For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: jIf anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
