For every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

So they didn't like Hebrews and they didn't like shepherds.

So when you read Herodotus, he says that Cheops was a shepherd king.

Wow, that's interesting.

Right.

And you see this generations later, you see this Egyptians still have this, they despise Israelites and shepherd kings, I believe it's because of Job.

And when you go back to Job chapter one, what did it say?

He had 7,000 cattle, 5,000 sheep.

He was a shepherd and a king at the same time.

And I believe that he and he only serving Yahweh and casting down the false gods of Egypt.

He's eschewing evil.

He's tearing down all their idolatry.

He closed the temples.

And again, that's the testimony of Manetho that this king, this Pharaoh was the one who he took down all the pagan worship.

and then was hated for it, that's what led to Joseph now.

When you get to Joseph generations later, the Egyptians were like, yeah, we don't like shepherds.

We don't like Israelites.

We don't like anything like that.

Because we had one guy here, he messed everything up for us.

Because we were worshiping in our temples.
