Chapter 46 |
| 1 | And Israel
took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, 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
Beersheba: 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' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. |
| 8 |
And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob
and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn. |
|
9 | And the sons of Reuben;
Hanoch, and Phallu, 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
Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of
Pharez were Hezron and Hamul. |
|
13 | And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and
Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron. |
|
14 | And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and
Elon, and Jahleel. |
| 15 | These be the sons of Leah, which she bare
unto Jacob in Padanaram, 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; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, 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, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto
him. |
| 21 |
And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel,
Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. |
| 22 |
These are the sons of Rachel, which 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, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare
these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. |
|
26 | All the souls that came
with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons'
wives, all the souls were threescore and six; |
| 27 | And the sons
of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the
house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. |
| 28 | And
he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face 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 presented himself unto him;
and he 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, because
thou art yet alive. |
| 31 | And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto
his father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My
brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come
unto me; |
| 32
| And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to
feed 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' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we,
and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every
shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians. |
