When they met, they wept on each other's shoulders for a good while. Once they finished weeping, Israel felt like he could die happy knowing Joseph was still alive. I can only imagine how it must have felt to see his son alive after presuming him dead all those years. Joseph instructed them how to speak to pharaoh saying they were in the business of cattle. Shepherds were considered an abomination to the Egyptians. https://www.thetorah.com/article/shepherds-and-eating-with-hebrews-an-abominatio... https://www.bing.com/search?q=why%20were%20shepherds%20an%20abomination%20to%20t... https://messianic-revolution.com/43-1-why-was-it-abhorrent-for-egyptians-to-eat-... From what I can get out of my web search, it was a matter of social status as the reason Shepherds couldn't associate with the Egyptians. Also, the pastureland was mainly in Goshen. However, if the said their business was cattle in general, it wasn't considered as bad as just dealing merely with sheep and goats. Application - How does this apply to my life?
