3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, ^t“What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, ^u“Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were.”

33 When Pharaoh calls you and says, ^m‘What is your occupation?’ 34 you shall say, ^m‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock ⁿfrom our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ in order that you may dwell ^oin the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is ^pan abomination to the Egyptians.”

2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground.

14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, ^s“I was¹ no prophet, nor a prophet’s son, but ^tI was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 ^uBut the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

8 Then 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 “Arise, go to ^bNineveh, that ^cgreat city, and call out against it, ^dfor their evil¹ has come up before me.”

10 as we pray most earnestly ^tnight and day ^uthat we may see you face to face and ^vsupply what is lacking in your faith?
