Y el Faraón dijo a sus hermanos: ¿Cuál es vuestro oficio? Y ellos respondieron a Faraón: Pastores de ovejas son tus siervos, así nosotros como nuestros padres.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - Though Joseph was a great man, especially in Egypt, yet he owned his brethren. Let the rich and great in the world not overlook or despis poor relations. Our Lord Jesus is not ashamed to call us brethren. I answer to Pharaoh's inquiry, What is your calling? they told him tha they were shepherds, adding that they were come to sojourn in the lan for a time, while the famine prevailed in Canaan. Pharaoh offered to employ them as shepherds, provided they were active men. Whatever ou business or employment is, we should aim to excel in it, and to prove ourselves clever and industrious.
