以色列全家下埃及
46 以色列帶著他所有的一切來到別示巴，向他父親以撒的上帝獻祭。 2 晚上，上帝在異象中對他說：「雅各！雅各！」他說：「我在這裡。」 3 上帝說：「我是上帝，是你父親的上帝，不要害怕下到埃及，因為我要使你在那裡成為大族。 4 我必跟你一起下到埃及，也必帶領你回來，約瑟必為你送終。」
5 於是，雅各從別示巴啟程。以色列的兒子們帶著父親和妻兒，乘坐法老送來的車， 6 帶著在迦南獲得的牲畜和財物前往埃及。這樣，雅各帶著他所有的子孫， 7 就是他的兒子、孫子、女兒和孫女一起去了埃及。
8 以下是去埃及的以色列人，即雅各和他後代的名字。

23 但的兒子是戶伸。 24 拿弗他利的兒子是雅薛、沽尼、耶色和示冷。 25 這些是辟拉給雅各生的兒孫，共有七人，辟拉是拉班給女兒拉結的婢女。
26 跟雅各一同到埃及去的兒孫共有六十六人，他的兒媳婦除外。 27 加上約瑟在埃及生的兩個兒子，雅各一家來到埃及的共有七十人。
28 雅各派猶大先去見約瑟，請他派人引路到歌珊去。他們來到歌珊， 29 約瑟備好車前去迎接父親以色列。父子重逢，約瑟抱住父親哭了很久。 30 以色列對約瑟說：「我現在看到你還活著，就是死也安心了。」
31 約瑟對他的弟兄們和其他家人說：「我要去告訴法老，你們已經從迦南來到我這裡。 32 你們是牧人，以畜牧為業，已經把羊群、牛群和所有的一切都帶來了。 33 等法老召見你們，問你們以什麼為業， 34 你們要說，『僕人們跟我們的祖先一樣，從小以畜牧為業。』這樣，你們就可以住在歌珊，因為埃及人厭惡牧羊的。」

雅各下埃及
46 以色列带着他所有的一切起程，到了别是巴，就向他父亲以撒的 神献祭。 2 神在夜间的异象中对以色列说：“雅各，雅各。”雅各说：“我在这里。” 3 神说：“我是 神，就是你父亲的 神；你不要怕下埃及去，因为我必使你在那里成为大国。 4 我要亲自与你一同下到埃及去，也必把你带上来。约瑟要亲手合上你的眼给你送终。” 5 雅各就从别是巴起程。以色列的众子，用法老为雅各送来的车辆，接载他们的父亲雅各，以及他们的孩子和妻子。 6 他们又带着牲畜，和他们在迦南地所得的财物，来到埃及。这样，雅各和他所有的子孙，都一同来了。 7 雅各把他的众儿子、孙子、女儿、孙女和他所有的后裔，都一同带到埃及去了。

8 来到埃及的以色列人，就是雅各和他的子孙，名单记在下面：雅各的长子是流本。 9 流本的儿子是哈诺、法路、希斯仑和迦米。 10 西缅的儿子是耶母利、雅悯、阿辖、雅斤、琐辖和迦南女子所生的扫罗。 11 利未的儿子是革顺、哥辖和米拉利。 12 犹大的儿子是珥、俄南、示拉、法勒斯和谢拉，但是珥和俄南都在迦南地死了。法勒斯的儿子是希斯伦和哈母勒。 13 以萨迦的儿子是陀拉、普瓦、雅述（按照《按照马拉文本》，“雅述”作“哟伯”；现参照《撒玛利亚五经》和《七十士译本》翻译；参民26:24及代上7:1）和伸仑。 14 西布伦的儿子是西烈、以伦和雅利。 15 以上这些人是利亚在巴旦．亚兰给雅各生的儿子，另外还有女儿底拿。这些子孙一共三十三人。 16 迦得的儿子是洗非芸、哈基、书尼、以斯本、以利、亚罗底和亚列利。 17 亚设的儿子是音拿、亦施瓦、亦施韦和比利亚，还有他们的姊妹西拉。比利亚的儿子是希别和玛结。 18 以上这些人是拉班给女儿利亚作婢女的悉帕给雅各生的子孙，一共十六人。 19 雅各的妻子拉结，生了约瑟和便雅悯。 20 约瑟在埃及地生了玛拿西和以法莲，就是安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给约瑟生的。 21 便雅悯的儿子是比拉、比结、亚实别、基拉、乃幔、以希、罗实、母平、户平和亚勒。 22 以上这些人是拉结给雅各生的子孙，一共十四人。 23 但的儿子是户伸。 24 拿弗他利的儿子是雅薛、沽尼、耶色和示冷。 25 以上这些人是拉班给女儿拉结作婢女的辟拉给雅各生的子孙，一共七人。 26 所有从雅各所生、与雅各一同来到埃及的人，除了他的儿妇之外，一共六十六人。 27 另外还有约瑟在埃及所生的两个儿子。雅各家来到埃及的所有成员，一共七十人。
约瑟到歌珊迎接父亲
28 雅各派犹大先到约瑟那里去，请约瑟指教他去歌珊的路。于是他们来到歌珊地。 29 约瑟预备了车，上去歌珊迎接他的父亲以色列。约瑟一看见他，就伏在他的颈项上，在他的颈项上哭了很久。 30 以色列对约瑟说：“这一次我看见了你的面，知道你还在，我死了也甘心。” 31 约瑟对他的兄弟们和他的父家说：“我要上去告诉法老，对他说：‘我在迦南地的兄弟们和我的父家，都到我这里来了。 32 这些人都是牧羊人，以牧养牲畜为生。他们把自己的牛羊和一切所有的，都带来了。’ 33 法老召见你们的时候，如果问你们：‘你们是作甚么的？’ 34 你们就要回答：‘仆人们从幼年直到现在，都是以牧养牲畜为生。我们和我们的祖先都是一样。’这样，你们就可以住在歌珊地，因为埃及人厌恶所有牧羊的人。”
Genesis 46
New English Translation
The Family of Jacob goes to Egypt
46 So Israel began his journey, taking with him all that he had.[a] When he came to Beer Sheba[b] he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 God spoke to Israel in a vision during the night[c] and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He replied, “Here I am!” 3 He said, “I am God,[d] the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. 4 I will go down with you to Egypt and I myself will certainly bring you back from there.[e] Joseph will close your eyes.”[f]
5 Then Jacob started out[g] from Beer Sheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little children, and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent along to transport him. 6 Jacob and all his descendants took their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and they went to Egypt.[h] 7 He brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons,[i] his daughters and granddaughters—all his descendants.
8 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to 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: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, 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 were Hezron and Hamul.
13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah,[j] Jashub,[k] and Shimron.
14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, along with Dinah his daughter. His sons and daughters numbered thirty-three in all.[l]
16 The sons of Gad: Zephon,[m] Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister.
The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malkiel.
18 These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter. She bore these to Jacob, sixteen in all.
19 The sons of Rachel the wife of Jacob: Joseph and Benjamin.
20 Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt. Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On,[n] bore them to him.
21 The sons of Benjamin:[o] Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.
22 These were the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob, fourteen in all.
23 The son of Dan: Hushim.[p]
24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter. She bore these to Jacob, seven in all.
26 All the direct descendants of Jacob who went to Egypt with him were sixty-six in number. (This number does not include the wives of Jacob’s sons.)[q] 27 Counting the two sons[r] of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, all the people of the household of Jacob who were in Egypt numbered seventy.[s]
28 Jacob[t] sent Judah before him to Joseph to accompany him to Goshen.[u] So they came to the land of Goshen. 29 Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. When he met him,[v] he hugged his neck and wept on his neck for quite some time.
30 Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.”[w] 31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and his father’s household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh,[x] ‘My brothers and my father’s household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me. 32 The men are shepherds;[y] they take care of livestock.[z] They have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ 33 Pharaoh will summon you and say, ‘What is your occupation?’ 34 Tell him, ‘Your servants have taken care of cattle[aa] from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen,[ab] for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting[ac] to the Egyptians.”
Footnotes
- Genesis 46:1 tn Heb “and Israel journeyed, and all that was his.”
- Genesis 46:1 sn Beer Sheba. See Gen 21:31; 28:10.
- Genesis 46:2 tn Heb “in visions of the night.” The plural form has the singular meaning, probably as a plural of intensity.
- Genesis 46:3 tn Heb “the God.”
- Genesis 46:4 tn Heb “and I, I will bring you up, also bringing up.” The independent personal pronoun before the first person imperfect verbal form draws attention to the speaker/subject, while the infinitive absolute after the imperfect strongly emphasizes the statement: “I myself will certainly bring you up.”
- Genesis 46:4 tn Heb “and Joseph will put his hand upon your eyes.” This is a promise of peaceful death in Egypt with Joseph present to close his eyes.
- Genesis 46:5 tn Heb “arose.”
- Genesis 46:6 tn Heb “and they took their livestock and their possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan and they went to Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- Genesis 46:7 tn The Hebrew text adds “with him” here. This is omitted in the translation because it is redundant in English style (note the same phrase earlier in the verse).
- Genesis 46:13 tc The MT reads “Puvah” (cf. Num 26:23); Smr and Syriac read “Puah” (cf. 1 Chr 7:1).
- Genesis 46:13 tc The MT reads יוֹב (yov, “Job,”) but Smr, supported by the LXX, reads יָשׁוּב (yashuv, “Jashub”) (see Num 26:24; 1 Chr 7:1).
- Genesis 46:15 tn Heb “all the lives of his sons and his daughters, thirty-three.”
- Genesis 46:16 tc The MT reads “Ziphion,” but see Num 26:15, Smr and the LXX, all of which read “Zephon.”
- Genesis 46:20 sn On is another name for the city of Heliopolis.
- Genesis 46:21 sn The sons of Benjamin. It is questionable whether youthful Benjamin had ten sons by the time he went into Egypt, but it is not impossible. If Benjamin was born when Joseph was six or seven, he was ten when Joseph was sold into Egypt, and would have been thirty-two at this point. Some suggest that the list originally served another purpose and included the names of all who were in the immediate family of the sons, whether born in Canaan or later in Egypt.
- Genesis 46:23 tn This name appears as “Shuham” in Num 26:42. The LXX reads “Hashum” here.
- Genesis 46:26 tn Heb “All the people who went with Jacob to Egypt, the ones who came out of his body, apart from the wives of the sons of Jacob, all the people were sixty-six.”sn The number sixty-six includes the seventy-one descendants (including Dinah) listed in vv. 8-25 minus Er and Onan (deceased), and Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim (already in Egypt).
- Genesis 46:27 tn The LXX reads “nine sons,” probably counting the grandsons of Joseph born to Ephraim and Manasseh (cf. 1 Chr 7:14-20).
- Genesis 46:27 tn Heb “And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two people; all the people belonging to the house of Jacob who came to Egypt were seventy.”sn The number seventy includes Jacob himself and the seventy-one descendants (including Dinah, Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim) listed in vv. 8-25, minus Er and Onan (deceased). The LXX gives the number as “seventy-five” (cf. Acts 7:14).
- Genesis 46:28 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Genesis 46:28 tn Heb “to direct before him to Goshen.”
- Genesis 46:29 tn Heb “and he appeared to him.”
- Genesis 46:30 tn Heb “after my seeing your face that you are still alive.”
- Genesis 46:31 tn Heb “tell Pharaoh and say to him.”
- Genesis 46:32 tn Heb “feeders of sheep.”
- Genesis 46:32 tn Heb “for men of livestock they are.”
- Genesis 46:34 tn Heb “your servants are men of cattle.”
- Genesis 46:34 sn So that you may live in the land of Goshen. Joseph is apparently trying to stress to Pharaoh that his family is self-sufficient, that they will not be a drain on the economy of Egypt. But they will need land for their animals and so Goshen, located on the edge of Egypt, would be a suitable place for them to live. The settled Egyptians were uneasy with nomadic people, but if Jacob and his family settled in Goshen they would represent no threat.
- Genesis 46:34 tn Heb “is an abomination.” The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (toʿevah, “abomination”) describes something that is loathsome or off-limits. For other practices the Egyptians considered disgusting, see Gen 43:32 and Exod 8:22.
