Israel viaja a Egipto
46 Israel emprendió el viaje con todas sus pertenencias. Al llegar a Berseba ofreció sacrificios al Dios de su padre Isaac. 2 Esa noche Dios habló a Israel en una visión:
— ¡Jacob! ¡Jacob!
Él respondió:
— Aquí me tienes.
[Dios le] dijo:
3 — Yo soy Dios, el Dios de tu padre. No temas bajar a Egipto, porque allí haré de ti una gran nación. 4 Bajaré contigo a Egipto y yo mismo te haré subir de allí. Y cuando mueras, José te cerrará los ojos.
5 Cuando Jacob partió de Berseba, los hijos de Israel montaron a su padre Jacob junto con sus niños y mujeres en los carros que el faraón había enviado para transportarlos. 6 Así pues, Jacob y todos los suyos se marcharon a Egipto llevando consigo el ganado y todos los bienes que habían adquirido en la tierra de Canaán. 7 Todos sus hijos, hijas, nietos y nietas se fueron con Jacob.
8 Estos son los nombres de los israelitas que fueron a Egipto; es decir, Jacob y sus hijos:
Rubén, el primogénito de Jacob. 9 Los hijos de Rubén: Janoc, Falú, Jesrón y Carmí.
10 Los hijos de Simeón: Jemuel, Jamín, Oab, Jaquín, Sojar y Saúl, el hijo de la cananea.
11 Los hijos de Leví: Guersón, Queat y Merarí.
12 Los hijos de Judá: Er, Onán, Selá, Fares y Záraj (Er y Onán habían muerto en Canaán). Los hijos de Fares: Jesrón y Jamul.
13 Los hijos de Isacar: Tolá, Fúa, Job y Simrón.
14 Los hijos de Zabulón: Sered, Elón y Jajlel.
15 Estos fueron los hijos que Jacob tuvo con Lía en Parán Aram, además de su hija Dina. En total, entre hombres y mujeres eran treinta y tres personas.
16 Los hijos de Gad: Sifión, Jaguí, Esbón, Suní, Erí, Arodí y Arelí.
17 Los hijos de Aser: Jimná, Jisvá, Jisví, Beriá y la hermana de ellos que se llamaba Seraj. Los hijos de Beriá: Jéber y Malquiel.
18 Estos fueron los hijos que Jacob tuvo con Zilpá, la esclava que Labán dio a su hija Lía. En total sus descendientes fueron dieciséis personas.
19 Los hijos de Raquel, la mujer de Jacob: José y Benjamín.
20 Los hijos que José tuvo con Asenet, hija de Potifera, sacerdote de On, fueron Manasés y Efraín.
21 Los hijos de Benjamín: Belá, Bejer, Asbel, Guerá, Naamán, Ejí, Ros, Mufín, Jufín y Ared.
22 Esta fue la descendencia que Jacob tuvo con Raquel; en total catorce personas.
23 El hijo de Dan: Jusín.
24 Los hijos de Neftalí: Jajsel, Guní, Jéser y Silén.
25 Estos fueron los hijos que Jacob tuvo con Bilhá, la esclava que Labán dio a su hija Raquel. En total sus descendientes fueron siete personas.
26 Todos los miembros de la familia de Jacob que llegaron a Egipto —es decir, sus descendientes directos— sumaban en total sesenta y seis personas, sin contar a las mujeres de sus hijos. 27 Con los dos hijos de José que le nacieron en Egipto, el total de miembros de la familia de Jacob que emigró a Egipto ascendió a setenta personas.
Encuentro de Jacob y José
28 Israel envió por delante a Judá para que anunciara a José su llegada y acudiera a su encuentro en Gosen. Cuando estaban llegando a la región de Gosen, 29 José ordenó que preparasen su carro y salió al encuentro de su padre Israel. Al encontrarse, José se fundió en un abrazo con su padre, y lloró largo rato sobre su hombro. 30 Entonces Israel dijo a José:
— Ahora ya puedo morir. Te he visto y sé que estás vivo.
31 José dijo a sus hermanos y a la familia de su padre:
— Voy a ver al faraón, para darle la noticia de que mis hermanos y la familia de mi padre, que vivían en Canaán, han venido a estar conmigo; 32 y que han traído consigo cuanto tenían, sus ovejas y sus vacas, porque son pastores y su trabajo es cuidar ganado. 33 Por eso, cuando el faraón os llame y os pregunte a qué os dedicáis, 34 decidle: “Nosotros, tus siervos, nos hemos dedicado a cuidar ganado desde nuestra juventud hasta ahora, y lo mismo hicieron nuestros antepasados”. Así os permitirá estableceros en la región de Gosen, porque los egipcios consideran impuros a los pastores de ovejas.

Jacob Goes to Egypt
46 So ·Israel [C Jacob’s other name; 32:28] took all he had and ·started his trip [departed]. He went to Beersheba [21:14], where he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision and said, “Jacob, Jacob.”
And Jacob answered, “Here I am.”
3 Then God said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will make ·your descendants [L you] a great nation there [12:1–3]. 4 I will go to Egypt with you, and I will bring you ·out of Egypt [L up] again. Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes when you die.”
5 Then Jacob left Beersheba. The sons of Israel loaded their father, their ·children [little ones], and their wives in the wagons ·the king of Egypt [L Pharaoh] had sent. 6 They also took their farm animals and everything they had gotten in Canaan. So Jacob went to Egypt with all his ·descendants [L seed]— 7 his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters. He took all his ·family [L seed] to Egypt with him.
Jacob’s Family
8 Now these are the names of the ·children [sons] of Israel who went into Egypt (Jacob and his descendants).
Reuben was Jacob’s ·first son [L firstborn]. 9 Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
10 Simeon’s sons were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul (Simeon’s son by a Canaanite woman).
11 Levi’s sons were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12 Judah’s sons were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan [38:1–11]). Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul.
13 Issachar’s sons were Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.
14 Zebulun’s sons were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These are the sons of Leah and Jacob born in ·northwestern Mesopotamia [L Paddan-aram], in addition to his daughter Dinah [34:1]. There were thirty-three persons in this part of Jacob’s family.
16 Gad’s sons were Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
17 Asher’s sons were Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah, and their sister was Serah. Beriah’s sons were Heber and Malkiel.
18 These are Jacob’s sons by Zilpah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah [29:24]. There were sixteen persons in this part of Jacob’s family.
19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin. 20 In Egypt, Joseph became the father of Manasseh and Ephraim by his wife Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On [41:45].
21 Benjamin’s sons were Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
22 These are the sons of Jacob by his wife Rachel. There were fourteen persons in this part of Jacob’s family.
23 Dan’s son was Hushim.
24 Naphtali’s sons were Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These are Jacob’s sons by Bilhah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel [29:29]. There were seven persons in this part of Jacob’s family.
26 So the total number of ·Jacob’s direct descendants [L those who came from the thigh/loins of Jacob] who went to Egypt was sixty-six, not counting the wives of Jacob’s sons. 27 Joseph had two sons born in Egypt, so the total number in the family of Jacob in Egypt was seventy.
Jacob Arrives in Egypt
28 Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to ·see [or lead the way to] Joseph in Goshen [45:10]. When Jacob and his people came into the land of Goshen, 29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as Joseph saw his father, he ·hugged him [L fell on his neck], and cried there for a long time.
30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, because I have seen your face and I know you are still alive.”
31 Joseph said to his brothers and his father’s ·family [household], “I will go and tell ·the king [L Pharaoh] you are here. I will say, ‘My brothers and my father’s ·family [household] have left the land of Canaan and have come here to me. 32 They are shepherds and take care of ·farm animals [livestock], and they have brought their flocks and their herds and everything they own with them.’ 33 When ·the king [L Pharaoh] calls you, he will ask, ‘What work do you do?’ 34 This is what you should tell him: ‘We, your servants, have taken care of ·farm animals [livestock] all our lives. Our ·ancestors [fathers] did the same thing.’ Then ·the king [L he] will allow you to settle in the land of Goshen, ·away from the Egyptians, because they don’t like to be near shepherds [L for all shepherds of flocks are an abomination to the Egyptians].”
