| 1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 2 And
God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob.
And he said, Here am I. 3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father:
fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee
up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 5 And Jacob rose
up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and
their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to
carry him. 6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had
gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed
with him: 7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his
sons's daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt,
Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first-born. 9 And the sons of Reuben:
Hanoch, and Pallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. 10 And the sons of Simeon:
Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a
Canaanitish woman. 11 And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12 And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Perez, and Zerah;
but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron
and Hamul. 13 And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, and
Shimron. 14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob in Paddan-aram,
with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were
thirty and three. 16 And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and
Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. 17 And the sons of Asher: Imnah, and
Ishvah, and Ishvi, and Beriah, and Serah their sister; and the sons of
Beriah: Heber, and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban
gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And unto
Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the
daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare unto him. 21 And the sons of
Benjamin: Bela, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh,
Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were
born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. 23 And the sons of Dan:
Hushim. 24 And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and
Shillem. 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave unto Rachel his
daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. 26 All
the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his loins,
besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six; 27 and
the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the
souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and
ten.
28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to show the way before him
unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 And Joseph made
ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and he
presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good
while. 30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen
thy face, that thou art yet alive. 31 And Joseph said unto his brethren,
and unto his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say
unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan,
are come unto me; 32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers
of cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that
they have. 33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and
shall say, What is your occupation? 34 that ye shall say, Thy servants
have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our
fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an
abomination unto the Egyptians.
