Jacob Leaves for Egypt

46 Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba,(A) and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. That night God spoke to Israel in a vision:(B) ‘Jacob, Jacob! ’ he said.

And Jacob replied, ‘Here I am.’

God said, ‘I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.(C) I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you back.(D) Joseph will close your eyes when you die.’[a](E)

Jacob left Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the carts Pharaoh had sent to carry him,(F) along with their dependents and their wives. They also took their cattle and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. Then Jacob and all his offspring with him came to Egypt.(G) His sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters, indeed all his offspring, he brought with him to Egypt.

Jacob Arrives in Egypt

28 Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to prepare for his arrival[i] at Goshen.(S) When they came to the land of Goshen, 29 Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, threw his arms round him, and wept for a long time.(T)

30 Then Israel said to Joseph, ‘I’m ready to die now because I have seen your face and you are still alive! ’

31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s family, ‘I will go up and inform Pharaoh, telling him, “My brothers and my father’s family, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.(U) 32 The men are shepherds; they also raise livestock. They have brought their flocks and herds and all that they have.” 33 When Pharaoh addresses you and asks, “What is your occupation? ” 34 you are to say, “Your servants, both we and our ancestors, have raised livestock[j] from our youth until now.” Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to Egyptians.’(V)

Якуб со всей семьёй переселяется в Египет

46 Исраил отправился в путь со всем, что у него было, пришёл в Беэр-Шеву и принёс там жертвы Богу своего отца Исхака. Всевышний говорил с Исраилом в ночном видении и сказал:

– Якуб! Якуб!

– Вот я, – ответил Якуб.

И сказал Всевышний:

– Я Всевышний, Бог твоего отца. Не бойся пойти в Египет, потому что Я произведу от тебя там великий народ. Я пойду в Египет вместе с тобой, и Я же приведу тебя обратно. И глаза тебе закроет рука Юсуфа.

Якуб отправился в путь из Беэр-Шевы. Сыновья Исраила посадили отца, детей и жён в колесницы, которые фараон прислал, чтобы перевезти его. Они взяли с собой скот и имущество, которое нажили в Ханаане; и Якуб со всем своим потомством пришёл в Египет. Он взял с собой в Египет сыновей и внуков, дочерей и внучек – всё своё потомство.

Встреча Якуба с Юсуфом

28 Якуб послал перед собой к Юсуфу Иуду, чтобы узнать путь в Гошен. И они прибыли туда. 29 Юсуф запряг колесницу и поехал в Гошен, чтобы встретить своего отца Исраила. Он предстал перед отцом, обнял его и долго плакал.

30 Исраил сказал Юсуфу:

– Теперь я могу и умереть, потому что увидел своими глазами, что ты жив.

31 Юсуф сказал своим братьям и домашним отца:

– Я пойду к фараону и скажу ему: «Мои братья и дом моего отца, которые жили в земле Ханаана, пришли ко мне. 32 Эти люди – пастухи; они разводят скот и привели с собой свои стада, и принесли всё своё имущество». 33 Когда фараон вызовет вас и спросит: «Чем вы занимаетесь?» – 34 вы должны ответить: «Рабы твои с отрочества своего и доныне разводят скот, как делали и наши отцы». Тогда вам будет позволено поселиться в земле Гошен, потому что египтянам отвратительны пастухи.
