Gen_46:33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What [is] your occupation?

Ver. 33. When Pharaoh shall call you.] At Athens every man gave a yearly account to the magistrate, by what trade, or course of life, he maintained himself; which if he could not do, he was banished. {a} By the law, Mahomet, the great Turk, himself is bound to exercise some manual trade or occupation, for none must be idle: as Solyman the Magnificent’s trade was making of arrow heads; Achmat the Last’s, horn rings for archers, &c.

{a} Lex illa Solonis imprimis commendatur, ut quisque quotannis, &c. - Textor., Epist. Peacham.
