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 le Dieu, le Dieu de ton père. Ne crains point de descendre en Égypte, car là je te ferai devenir une grande nation.
4 Moi-même je descendrai avec toi en Égypte, 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 Égypte, avec toute sa famille.
7 Il emmena avec lui en Égypte 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 Égypte. Jacob et ses fils. Premier-né de Jacob: Ruben.

13 Fils d'Issacar: Thola, Puva, Job et Schimron.
14 Fils de Zabulon: Séred, Élon 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, Éri, Arodi et Areéli.

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'Égypte, Manassé et Éphraïm, que lui enfanta Asnath, fille de Poti Phéra, prêtre d'On.
21 Fils de Benjamin: Béla, Béker, Aschbel, Guéra, Naaman, Éhi, Rosch, Muppim, Huppim et Ard.

26 Les personnes qui vinrent avec Jacob en Égypte, 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 Égypte. Le total des personnes de la famille de Jacob qui vinrent en Égypte 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 boeufs, 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 Égyptiens.

Jacob Goes to Egypt
46 So Israel(A) set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba,(B) he offered sacrifices(C) to the God of his father Isaac.(D)
2 And God spoke to Israel(E) in a vision at night(F) and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”
“Here I am,”(G) he replied.
3 “I am God, the God of your father,”(H) he said. “Do not be afraid(I) to go down to Egypt,(J) for I will make you into a great nation(K) there.(L) 4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.(M) And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.(N)”
5 Then Jacob left Beersheba,(O) and Israel’s(P) sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts(Q) that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. 6 So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt,(R) taking with them their livestock and the possessions(S) they had acquired(T) in Canaan. 7 Jacob brought with him to Egypt(U) his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.(V)
8 These are the names of the sons of Israel(W) (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt:
Reuben the firstborn(X) of Jacob.
9 The sons of Reuben:(Y)
Hanok, Pallu,(Z) Hezron and Karmi.(AA)
10 The sons of Simeon:(AB)
Jemuel,(AC) Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar(AD) and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
11 The sons of Levi:(AE)
Gershon,(AF) Kohath(AG) and Merari.(AH)
12 The sons of Judah:(AI)
Er,(AJ) Onan,(AK) Shelah, Perez(AL) and Zerah(AM) (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan).(AN)
The sons of Perez:(AO)
Hezron and Hamul.(AP)
13 The sons of Issachar:(AQ)
Tola, Puah,[a](AR) Jashub[b](AS) and Shimron.
14 The sons of Zebulun:(AT)
Sered, Elon and Jahleel.
15 These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram,[c](AU) besides his daughter Dinah.(AV) These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.
16 The sons of Gad:(AW)
Zephon,[d](AX) Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.
17 The sons of Asher:(AY)
Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah.
Their sister was Serah.
The sons of Beriah:
Heber and Malkiel.
18 These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah,(AZ) whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah(BA)—sixteen in all.
19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel:(BB)
Joseph and Benjamin.(BC) 20 In Egypt, Manasseh(BD) and Ephraim(BE) were born to Joseph(BF) by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.[e](BG)
21 The sons of Benjamin:(BH)
Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.(BI)
22 These were the sons of Rachel(BJ) who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all.
25 These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah,(BN) whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel(BO)—seven in all.
26 All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons’ wives—numbered sixty-six persons.(BP) 27 With the two sons[f] who had been born to Joseph in Egypt,(BQ) the members of Jacob’s family, which went to Egypt, were seventy[g] in all.(BR)
28 Now Jacob sent Judah(BS) ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen.(BT) When they arrived in the region of Goshen, 29 Joseph had his chariot(BU) made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel.(BV) As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father[h] and wept(BW) for a long time.(BX)
30 Israel(BY) said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”(BZ)
31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were living in the land of Canaan,(CA) have come to me.(CB) 32 The men are shepherds;(CC) they tend livestock,(CD) and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’(CE) 33 When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’(CF) 34 you should answer, ‘Your servants(CG) have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’(CH) Then you will be allowed to settle(CI) in the region of Goshen,(CJ) for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.(CK)”

Chapter 46
Migration to Egypt. 1 [a]Israel set out with all that was his. When he arrived at Beer-sheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 There God, speaking to Israel in a vision by night, called: Jacob! Jacob! He answered, “Here I am.” 3 Then he said: I am God,[b] the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation. 4 I will go down to Egypt with you and I will also bring you back here, after Joseph has closed your eyes.
5 So Jacob departed from Beer-sheba, and the sons of Israel put their father and their wives and children on the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. 6 They took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. So Jacob and all his descendants came to Egypt.(A) 7 His sons and his grandsons, his daughters and his granddaughters—all his descendants—he took with him to Egypt.
8 These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his children, who came to Egypt.
Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn,(B) 9 [c]and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.(C) 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, son of a Canaanite woman.(D) 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.(E) 12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah—but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.(F) 13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.(G) 14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.(H) 15 These were the sons whom Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, along with his daughter Dinah—thirty-three persons in all, sons and daughters.
16 The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arod, and Areli.(I) 17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah, with their sister Serah; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.(J) 18 These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah; these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons in all.
19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 In the land of Egypt Joseph became the father of Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.(K) 21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ahiram, Shupham, Hupham, and Ard.(L) 22 These are the sons whom Rachel bore to Jacob—fourteen persons in all.
23 The sons of Dan: Hushim.(M) 24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.(N) 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel; these she bore to Jacob—seven persons in all.
26 Jacob’s people who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, not counting the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons in all.(O) 27 Together with Joseph’s sons who were born to him in Egypt—two persons—all the people comprising the household of Jacob who had come to Egypt amounted to seventy persons[d] in all.(P)
28 Israel had sent Judah ahead to Joseph, so that he might meet him in Goshen. On his arrival in the region of Goshen, 29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as Israel made his appearance, Joseph threw his arms around him and wept a long time on his shoulder. 30 And Israel said to Joseph, “At last I can die, now that I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”
31 Joseph then said to his brothers and his father’s household: “I will go up and inform Pharaoh, telling him: ‘My brothers and my father’s household, whose home is in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 The men are shepherds, having been owners of livestock;[e] and they have brought with them their flocks and herds, as well as everything else they own.’ 33 So when Pharaoh summons you and asks what your occupation is, 34 you must answer, ‘We your servants, like our ancestors, have been owners of livestock from our youth until now,’ in order that you may stay in the region of Goshen, since all shepherds are abhorrent to the Egyptians.”
Footnotes
- 46:1–47:26 Jacob and his family settle in Egypt. Joseph’s economic policies.
- 46:3 I am God: more precisely according to the Hebrew text, “I am El.” “El” is here a divine name, not the common noun “god.”
- 46:9–27 This genealogical list is based on the clan lists (Nm 26:5–50) from the Mosaic period.
- 46:27 Seventy persons: it is difficult to get this exact number by adding up the persons mentioned in the preceding genealogies. One might assume it refers to Jacob and sixty-nine descendants, excluding Er and Onan but including Dinah. Ex 1:5 repeats the number but excludes Jacob. Dt 10:22 refers to seventy persons descending to Egypt. The best solution is to take the number as expressing totality. Since there are seventy nations in chap. 10, it is likely that the text is drawing a parallel between the two entities and suggesting that Israel “represents” the nations before God.
- 46:32 Owners of livestock: the phrase occurs only here and in v. 34. The difference between this term and “shepherds” is not clear, for the brothers do not mention it to Pharaoh in 47:3.

Giacobbe e la sua famiglia in Egitto
46 (A)Israele partì con tutto quello che aveva e, giunto a Beer-Sceba, offrì sacrifici al Dio d’Isacco suo padre. 2 Dio parlò a Israele in visioni notturne e disse: «Giacobbe, Giacobbe!» Ed egli rispose: «Eccomi». 3 Dio disse: «Io sono Dio, il Dio di tuo padre. Non temere di scendere in Egitto, perché là ti farò diventare una grande nazione. 4 Io scenderò con te in Egitto, te ne farò anche sicuramente risalire e Giuseppe ti chiuderà gli occhi».
5 Allora Giacobbe partì da Beer-Sceba; e i figli d’Israele fecero salire Giacobbe loro padre, i loro bambini e le loro mogli sui carri che il faraone aveva mandati per trasportarli. 6 Essi presero il loro bestiame e i beni che avevano acquisiti nel paese di Canaan e scesero in Egitto: Giacobbe con tutta la sua famiglia. 7 Egli fece venire con sé in Egitto i suoi figli, i figli dei suoi figli, le sue figlie, le figlie dei suoi figli e tutta la sua famiglia.
8 (B)Questi sono i nomi dei figli d’Israele che vennero in Egitto: Giacobbe e i suoi figli. Il primogenito di Giacobbe: Ruben.
9 I figli di Ruben: Chenoc, Pallu, Chesron e Carmi.
10 I figli di Simeone: Iemuel, Iamin, Oad, Iachin, Soar e Saul, figlio di una Cananea.
11 I figli di Levi: Gherson, Cheat e Merari.
12 I figli di Giuda: Er, Onan, Sela, Perez e Zarac; ma Er e Onan morirono nel paese di Canaan; i figli di Perez furono: Chesron e Camul.
13 I figli d’Issacar: Tola, Puva, Iob e Simron.
14 I figli di Zabulon: Sered, Elon e Ialeel. 15 Questi sono i figli che Lea partorì a Giacobbe a Paddan-Aram, oltre a Dina, figlia di lui. I suoi figli e le sue figlie erano in tutto trentatré persone.
16 I figli di Gad: Sifion, Agghi, Suni, Esbon, Eri, Arodi e Areli.
17 I figli di Ascer: Imna, Tisva, Tisvi, Beria e Serac loro sorella; i figli di Beria: Eber e Malchiel.
18 Questi furono i figli di Zilpa che Labano aveva dato a sua figlia Lea; lei li partorì a Giacobbe: in tutto sedici persone.
19 I figli di Rachele, moglie di Giacobbe: Giuseppe e Beniamino. 20 A Giuseppe, nel paese d’Egitto, nacquero Manasse ed Efraim, i quali Asenat, figlia di Potifera, sacerdote di On, gli partorì.
21 I figli di Beniamino: Bela, Becher, Asbel, Ghera, Naaman, Ei, Ros, Muppim, Cuppim e Ard.
22 Questi sono i figli di Rachele che nacquero a Giacobbe: in tutto quattordici persone.
23 I figli di Dan: Cusim.
24 I figli di Neftali: Iacseel, Guni, Ieser e Sillem.
25 Questi sono i figli di Bila, che Labano aveva dato a sua figlia Rachele; lei li partorì a Giacobbe: in tutto sette persone.
26 Le persone che vennero con Giacobbe in Egitto, discendenti da lui, senza contare le mogli dei figli di Giacobbe, erano in tutto sessantasei. 27 I figli di Giuseppe, natigli in Egitto, erano due. Il totale delle persone della famiglia di Giacobbe che vennero in Egitto era di settanta[a].
28 (C)Giacobbe mandò davanti a sé Giuda verso Giuseppe, perché questi lo guidasse nel paese di Goscen. Giunsero nella terra di Goscen. 29 Giuseppe fece attaccare il suo carro e salì in Goscen a incontrare Israele, suo padre; gli si presentò, gli si gettò al collo e pianse a lungo sul suo collo. 30 Israele disse a Giuseppe: «Ora, che io muoia pure, giacché ho visto il tuo volto e tu vivi ancora!»
31 Giuseppe disse ai suoi fratelli e alla famiglia di suo padre: «Io andrò a informare il faraone e gli dirò: “I miei fratelli e la famiglia di mio padre, che erano nel paese di Canaan, sono venuti da me. 32 Questi uomini sono pastori, perché sono sempre stati allevatori di bestiame e hanno condotto con sé le loro greggi, i loro armenti e tutto quello che posseggono”. 33 Quando il faraone vi farà chiamare e vi dirà: “Qual è la vostra occupazione?”, risponderete: 34 “I tuoi servi sono stati allevatori di bestiame dalla loro infanzia fino ad ora: noi come i nostri padri”. Così abiterete nella terra di Goscen, perché gli Egiziani hanno in abominio tutti i pastori».
