Jacob et sa famille en Egypte
46 Israël partit, avec tout ce qui lui appartenait. Il arriva à Beer-Schéba, et il offrit des sacrifices au Dieu de son père Isaac. 2 Dieu parla à Israël dans une vision pendant la nuit, et il dit: Jacob! Jacob! Israël répondit: Me voici! 3 Et Dieu dit: Je suis Dieu, le Dieu de ton père. Ne crains point de descendre en Egypte, car là je te ferai devenir une grande nation. 4 Moi-même je descendrai avec toi en Egypte, et moi-même je t’en ferai remonter; et Joseph te fermera les yeux.
5 Jacob quitta Beer-Schéba; et les fils d’Israël mirent Jacob, leur père, avec leurs enfants et leurs femmes, sur les chars que Pharaon avait envoyés pour les transporter. 6 Ils prirent aussi leurs troupeaux et les biens qu’ils avaient acquis dans le pays de Canaan. Et Jacob se rendit en Egypte, avec toute sa famille. 7 Il emmena avec lui en Egypte ses fils et les fils de ses fils, ses filles et les filles de ses fils, et toute sa famille.
8 Voici les noms des fils d’Israël, qui vinrent en Egypte. Jacob et ses fils. Premier-né de Jacob: Ruben.
9 Fils de Ruben: Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron et Carmi. 10 Fils de Siméon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin et Tsochar; et Saül, fils de la Cananéenne. 11 Fils de Lévi: Guerschon, Kehath et Merari. 12 Fils de Juda: Er, Onan, Schéla, Pérets et Zérach; mais Er et Onan moururent au pays de Canaan. Les fils de Pérets furent Hetsron et Hamul. 13 Fils d’Issacar: Thola, Puva, Job et Schimron. 14 Fils de Zabulon: Séred, Elon et Jahleel. 15 Ce sont là les fils que Léa enfanta à Jacob à Paddan-Aram, avec sa fille Dina. Ses fils et ses filles formaient en tout trente-trois personnes.
16 Fils de Gad: Tsiphjon, Haggi, Schuni, Etsbon, Eri, Arodi et Areéli. 17 Fils d’Aser: Jimna, Jischva, Jischvi et Beria; et Sérach, leur sœur. Et les fils de Beria: Héber et Malkiel.
18 Ce sont là les fils de Zilpa, que Laban avait donnée à Léa, sa fille; et elle les enfanta à Jacob. En tout, seize personnes.
19 Fils de Rachel, femme de Jacob: Joseph et Benjamin. 20 Il naquit à Joseph, au pays d’Egypte, Manassé et Ephraïm, que lui enfanta Asnath, fille de Poti-Phéra, prêtre d’On. 21 Fils de Benjamin: Béla, Béker, Aschbel, Guéra, Naaman, Ehi, Rosch, Muppim, Huppim et Ard.

26 Les personnes qui vinrent avec Jacob en Egypte, et qui étaient issues de lui, étaient au nombre de soixante-six en tout, sans compter les femmes des fils de Jacob. 27 Et Joseph avait deux fils qui lui étaient nés en Egypte. Le total des personnes de la famille de Jacob qui vinrent en Egypte était de soixante-dix.
28 Jacob envoya Juda devant lui vers Joseph, pour l’informer qu’il se rendait en Gosen. 29 Joseph attela son char et y monta, pour aller en Gosen, à la rencontre d’Israël, son père. Dès qu’il le vit, il se jeta à son cou, et pleura longtemps sur son cou. 30 Israël dit à Joseph: Que je meure maintenant, puisque j’ai vu ton visage et que tu vis encore!
31 Joseph dit à ses frères et à la famille de son père: Je vais avertir Pharaon, et je lui dirai: Mes frères et la famille de mon père, qui étaient au pays de Canaan, sont arrivés auprès de moi. 32 Ces hommes sont bergers, car ils élèvent des troupeaux; ils ont amené leurs brebis et leurs bœufs, et tout ce qui leur appartient. 33 Et quand Pharaon vous appellera, et dira: 34 Quelle est votre occupation? vous répondrez: Tes serviteurs ont élevé des troupeaux, depuis notre jeunesse jusqu’à présent, nous et nos pères. De cette manière, vous habiterez dans le pays de Gosen, car tous les bergers sont en abomination aux Egyptiens.

Chapter 46
Jacob Goes to Egypt.[a] 1 Israel set out with all that he had and arrived at Beer-sheba where he offered a sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.
2 God appeared to Israel in a vision during the night saying, “Jacob, Jacob.” He answered, “Here I am.”
3 He continued, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not fear to go down into Egypt, for down there I will make a great people of you. 4 I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will surely make you return. Joseph will close your eyes.”
5 Jacob left Beer-sheba, and the sons of Israel put their father, their children, and their wives into the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry them. 6 They took with them their animals and all the possessions that they had acquired in the land of Canaan. Thus, Jacob and all his descendants went to Egypt. 7 He brought his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters, and all his descendants with him into Egypt.
8 These are the names of the sons of Israel who entered Egypt: Jacob and his sons.
Reuben the firstborn of Jacob.
9 The sons of Reuben:
Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
10 The sons of Simeon:
Nemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.
11 The sons of Levi:
Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12 The sons of Judah:
Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah, (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan).
The sons of Perez:
Hezron and Hamul.
13 The sons of Issachar:
Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.
14 The sons of Zebulun:
Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These were the sons whom Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with their daughter Dinah. The total number of her sons and daughters was thirty-three.
16 The sons of Gad:
Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arod, and Areli.
17 The sons of Asher:
Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah.
The sons of Beriah:
Heber and Malchiel.
18 These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah. She bore them to Jacob: sixteen in all.
19 The sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob:
Joseph and Benjamin. 20 Ephraim and Manasseh were born to Joseph in Egypt. They were the sons of Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On.[b]
21 The sons of Benjamin:
Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ahiram, Shupham, Hupham, and Ard.
22 These were the sons Rachel bore to Jacob—fourteen in all.
23 The son of Dan:

24 The sons of Naphtali:
Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These were the sons of Bilhah whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel. She bore them to Jacob: seven in all.
26 All those who entered with Jacob into Egypt were his offspring. Not counting the wives of the sons of Jacob there were sixty-six in all. 27 Two sons were born to Joseph in Egypt. The members of the family of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.
28 Joseph and Pharaoh Welcome Jacob.[c] Jacob sent Judah to Joseph ahead of the rest so that he might give instructions in Goshen before his arrival. When they arrived in the land of Goshen, 29 Joseph made his chariot ready and went up into Goshen to greet Israel, his father. As soon as he saw him, he threw himself around his neck and wept for a long time holding on to his neck.
30 Israel said to Joseph, “Let me die, now that I have seen your face, that you are still alive.”
31 Joseph said to his brothers and to the family of his father, “I am going to inform Pharaoh and to tell him, ‘My brothers and the family of my father, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to be with me. 32 These men were shepherds of flocks and they tended herds. They have brought their flocks, their herds, and all their possessions.’ 33 When Pharaoh summons you and asks you what you do for a living, 34 you should answer, ‘Your servants have been men who care for cattle from their youth until now, just as our fathers did.’ This is so that you can dwell in the land of Goshen.” For all shepherds of flocks are an abomination to the Egyptians.
Footnotes
- Genesis 46:1 One last time, the Lord manifests himself and renews his promise to the Patriarchs: the sojourn into Egypt is only a stage; already we get a glimpse of the Exodus, the birth of the people of Israel. This account invites all believers to discover the plan of God in a most astounding history and in their own lives.
- Genesis 46:20 On: i.e., Heliopolis.
- Genesis 46:28 With the favor of the sovereign of Egypt cleverly orchestrated by Joseph, the children of Israel can establish themselves in the region to the east of the Nile delta without mingling with the Egyptians (46:34), not far from the frontier. They can then start out more easily at the time of the Exodus! By the play of circumstances, Providence has provided for everything.
