Jacob’s Journey to Egypt(A)

46 So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to (B)Beersheba, and offered sacrifices (C)to the God of his father Isaac. 2 Then God spoke to Israel (D)in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

3 So He said, “I am God, (E)the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will (F)make of you a great nation there. 4 (G)I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely (H)bring you up again; and (I)Joseph [a]will put his hand on your eyes.”

5 Then (J)Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the [b]carts (K)which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, (L)Jacob and all his descendants with him. 7 His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

8 Now (M)these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: (N)Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn. 9 The (O)sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 (P)The sons of Simeon were [c]Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, [d]Jachin, [e]Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of (Q)Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of (R)Judah were (S)Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). (T)The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar were Tola, [f]Puvah, [g]Job, and Shimron. 14 The (U)sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These were the (V)sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three.

16 The sons of Gad were [h]Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, [i]Ezbon, Eri, [j]Arodi, and Areli. 17 (W)The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel. 18 (X)These were the sons of Zilpah, (Y)whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.

19 The (Z)sons of Rachel, (AA)Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin. 20 (AB)And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 21 (AC)The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, (AD)Ehi, Rosh, (AE)Muppim, [k]Huppim, and Ard. 22 These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in all.

23 The son of Dan was [l]Hushim. 24 (AF)The sons of Naphtali were [m]Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and [n]Shillem. 25 (AG)These were the sons of Bilhah, (AH)whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: seven persons in all.

26 (AI)All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came from his body, (AJ)besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. (AK)All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.

Jacob Settles in Goshen

28 Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, (AL)to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came (AM)to the land of Goshen. 29 So Joseph made ready his (AN)chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and (AO)fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

30 And Israel said to Joseph, (AP)“Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive.”

31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, (AQ)“I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 And the men are (AR)shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.’ 33 So it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, (AS)‘What is your occupation?’ 34 that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ (AT)occupation has been with livestock (AU)from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is (AV)an[o] abomination to the Egyptians.”

Jacob Moves to Egypt

46 So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to (A)Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the (B)God of his father Isaac. 2 And (C)God spoke to Israel [a]in visions of the night and said, “(D)Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” 3 Then He said, “(E)I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will (F)make you into a great nation there. 4 (G)I will go down with you to Egypt, and (H)I will also assuredly bring you up again; and (I)Joseph will [b]close your eyes.”

5 Then Jacob left Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the (J)wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 They also took their livestock and their possessions, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and (K)came to Egypt, Jacob and all his [c]descendants with him: 7 his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his [d]descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

Those Who Came to Egypt

8 Now these are the (L)names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 9 And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 And the (M)sons of Simeon: [e]Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, [f]Jachin, [g]Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 And the sons of Levi: [h]Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 And the sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). And the (N)sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 And the sons of Issachar: Tola, [i]Puvvah, [j]Iob, and Shimron. 14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah; [k]all his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three. 16 And the (O)sons of Gad: [l]Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, [m]Ezbon, Eri, [n]Arodi, and Areli. 17 And the (P)sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. And the (Q)sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah; and she bore to Jacob these sixteen persons. 19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 (R)Now to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him. 21 And the (S)sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, [o]Ehi, Rosh, [p]Muppim, [q]Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob; there were fourteen persons in all. 23 And the sons of Dan: [r]Hushim. 24 And the sons of Naphtali: [s]Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and [t]Shillem. 25 These are the (T)sons of Bilhah, whom (U)Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, and she bore these to Jacob; there were seven persons in all. 26 (V)All the people belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, [u]his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob’s sons, were sixty-six persons in all, 27 and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were [v]two; (W)all the people of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.

28 Now Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph, to [w]guide him to (X)Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 And Joseph [x]prepared his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; as soon as he appeared to him, Joseph threw himself on his neck and (Y)wept on his neck a long time. 30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.” 31 But Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “(Z)I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me; 32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been [y]keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ 33 When Pharaoh calls for you and says, ‘(AA)What is your occupation?’ 34 you shall say, ‘Your servants have been [z](AB)keepers of livestock since our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of (AC)Goshen; for every shepherd is an (AD)abomination to the Egyptians.”

Gênesis 46
Nova Versão Transformadora

Jacó e sua família se mudam para o Egito

46 Jacó[a] partiu para o Egito com todos os seus bens. Quando chegou a Berseba, ofereceu sacrifícios ao Deus de Isaque, seu pai. 2 Durante a noite, Deus lhe falou numa visão. “Jacó! Jacó!”, chamou ele.

“Aqui estou!”, respondeu Jacó.

3 “Eu sou Deus,[b] o Deus de seu pai”, disse a voz. “Não tenha medo de descer ao Egito, pois lá farei de sua família uma grande nação. 4 Descerei com você ao Egito e certamente o trarei de volta. E José estará ao seu lado quando você morrer.”

5 Então Jacó saiu de Berseba, e seus filhos o levaram para o Egito. Transportaram o pai, as crianças e as mulheres nas carruagens que o faraó lhes havia providenciado. 6 Também levaram todos os seus rebanhos e os bens que haviam adquirido na terra de Canaã. Assim, Jacó e toda a sua família foram para o Egito: 7 filhos e netos, filhas e netas, todos os seus descendentes.

8 Estes são os nomes dos descendentes de Israel, os filhos de Jacó, que foram ao Egito:

Rúben foi o filho mais velho de Jacó. 9 Os filhos de Rúben foram: Enoque, Palu, Hezrom e Carmi.

10 Os filhos de Simeão foram: Jemuel, Jamim, Oade, Jaquim, Zoar e Saul. (A mãe de Saul era cananita.)

11 Os filhos de Levi foram: Gérson, Coate e Merari.

12 Os filhos de Judá foram: Er, Onã, Selá, Perez e Zerá (embora Er e Onã tivessem morrido na terra de Canaã). Os filhos de Perez foram: Hezrom e Hamul.

13 Os filhos de Issacar foram: Tolá, Puá,[c] Jasube[d] e Sinrom.

14 Os filhos de Zebulom foram: Serede, Elom e Jaleel.

15 Esses foram os filhos de Lia e Jacó nascidos em Padã-Arã, além de sua filha Diná. Por meio de Lia, Jacó teve 33 descendentes, tanto homens quanto mulheres. 16 Os filhos de Gade foram: Zefom,[e] Hagi, Suni, Esbom, Eri, Arodi e Areli.

17 Os filhos de Aser foram: Imná, Isvá, Isvi e Berias. A irmã deles se chamava Sera. Os filhos de Berias foram: Héber e Malquiel.

18 Esses foram os filhos de Zilpa, serva dada a Lia por Labão, seu pai. Por meio de Zilpa, Jacó teve dezesseis descendentes.

19 Os filhos de Raquel, mulher de Jacó, foram: José e Benjamim.

20 Os filhos de José, nascidos no Egito, foram: Manassés e Efraim. Sua mãe foi Azenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om.[f]

21 Os filhos de Benjamim foram: Belá, Bequer, Asbel, Gera, Naamã, Eí, Rôs, Mupim, Hupim e Arde.

22 Esses foram os filhos de Raquel e Jacó. Por meio de Raquel, Jacó teve catorze descendentes.

23 O filho de Dã foi Husim.

24 Os filhos de Naftali foram: Jazeel, Guni, Jezer e Silém.

25 Esses foram os filhos de Bila, serva dada a Raquel por Labão, seu pai. Por meio de Bila, Jacó teve sete descendentes.

26 No total, 66 descendentes diretos de Jacó foram com ele para o Egito, sem contar as esposas de seus filhos. 27 Além deles, José teve dois filhos[g] que nasceram no Egito, totalizando setenta[h] membros da família de Jacó no Egito.

A família de Jacó chega a Gósen

28 Quando estavam quase chegando, Jacó enviou Judá adiante para encontrar-se com José e pedir-lhe informações sobre o caminho para Gósen. 29 José mandou preparar sua carruagem e partiu para Gósen, a fim de encontrar-se com seu pai, Jacó. Quando José chegou, abraçou fortemente seu pai e, sem soltá-lo, chorou por longo tempo. 30 Por fim, Jacó disse a José: “Agora estou pronto para morrer, pois vi seu rosto novamente e sei que você está vivo”.

31 José disse a seus irmãos e a toda a família de seu pai: “Irei ao faraó e lhe direi: ‘Meus irmãos e toda a família de meu pai chegaram da terra de Canaã. 32 Eles são pastores e criadores de gado. Trouxeram consigo seus rebanhos, seu gado e todos os seus bens’”.

33 Disse também: “Quando o faraó mandar chamá-los e perguntar-lhes em que vocês trabalham, 34 digam o seguinte: ‘Durante toda a vida, nós, seus servos, criamos rebanhos e gado, como sempre fizeram nossos antepassados’. Quando lhe disserem isso, ele permitirá que vivam aqui na região de Gósen, pois os egípcios desprezam os pastores”.
