46:34 every shepherd is an abomination:
The
reason for this is not specified, but it seems the Egyptians despised shepherds
as offenders against their religion. This is because several herding and
grazing animals were revered as symbols of Egyptian deities. Shepherding, which
entailed eating these beasts for good and using their hides for various domestic
purposes, was probably thought to profane and desecrate these sacred
representations of the gods. (The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, ed.
Scott Hahn and Curtis J. Mitch [San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2024], 115)
