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. 2 That night God spoke to Israel in a vision:(B) “Jacob, Jacob!” he said.

And Jacob replied, “Here I am.”

3 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) 4 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)

5 Jacob left Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him,(F) along with their dependents and their wives. 6 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) 7 His sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters, indeed all his offspring, he brought with him to Egypt.

Jacob’s Family

8 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt(H)—Jacob and his sons:

Jacob’s firstborn: Reuben.

9 Reuben’s sons:(I) Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

10 Simeon’s sons:(J) Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.

11 Levi’s sons:(K) Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

12 Judah’s sons: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.

13 Issachar’s sons:(M) Tola, Puvah,[b] Jashub,[c] and Shimron.

14 Zebulun’s sons: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.

15 These were Leah’s sons born to Jacob in Paddan-aram, as well as his daughter Dinah. The total number of persons:[d] thirty-three.

16 Gad’s sons: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

17 Asher’s sons:(N) Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah.

Beriah’s sons were Heber and Malchiel.

18 These were the sons of Zilpah—whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah—that she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.

19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

20 Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt. They were born to him by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, a priest at On.[e]

21 Benjamin’s sons:(O) Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

24 Naphtali’s sons:(P) Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.

25 These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel.(Q) She bore to Jacob: seven persons.

26 The total number of persons belonging to Jacob—his direct descendants,[g] not including the wives of Jacob’s sons—who came to Egypt: sixty-six.

27 And Joseph’s sons who were born to him in Egypt: two persons.

All those of Jacob’s household who came to Egypt: seventy[h] persons.(R)

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 around 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)

Israel y su familia en Egipto

46 Y partió Israel con todo lo que tenía y llegó a Beerseba(A), y ofreció sacrificios al Dios de su padre Isaac(B). 2 Y Dios habló a Israel en una visión nocturna[a](C), y dijo: Jacob, Jacob. Y él respondió: Heme aquí(D). 3 Y Él dijo: Yo soy Dios, el Dios de tu padre(E); no temas descender a Egipto, porque allí te haré una gran nación(F). 4 Yo descenderé contigo(G) a Egipto, y ciertamente, yo también te haré volver[b](H); y José cerrará[c] tus ojos(I). 5 Entonces Jacob partió[d] de Beerseba; y los hijos de Israel llevaron a su padre Jacob, y a sus pequeños y a sus mujeres, en las carretas que Faraón había enviado para llevarlo(J). 6 Y tomaron sus ganados y los bienes que habían acumulado en la tierra de Canaán y vinieron a Egipto(K), Jacob y toda su descendencia[e] con él: 7 sus hijos y sus nietos con él, sus hijas y sus nietas; a toda su descendencia[f] trajo consigo a Egipto.

8 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Israel(L), Jacob y sus hijos, que fueron a Egipto: Rubén, primogénito de Jacob. 9 Los hijos de Rubén: Hanoc, Falú, Hezrón y Carmi. 10 Los hijos de Simeón: Jemuel[g], Jamín, Ohad, Jaquín[h], Zohar[i] y Saúl, hijo de la cananea(M). 11 Los hijos de Leví: Gersón, Coat y Merari. 12 Los hijos de Judá: Er, Onán, Sela, Fares y Zara (pero Er y Onán murieron en la tierra de Canaán). Y los hijos de Fares fueron Hezrón y Hamul(N). 13 Los hijos de Isacar: Tola, Fúa, Job[j] y Simrón. 14 Los hijos de Zabulón: Sered, Elón y Jahleel. 15 Estos son los hijos de Lea, los que le dio a luz a Jacob en Padán-aram, y además su hija Dina; todos[k] sus hijos y sus hijas eran treinta y tres. 16 Los hijos de Gad: Zifión[l], Hagui, Suni, Ezbón[m], Eri, Arodi[n] y Areli(O). 17 Los hijos de Aser: Imna, Isúa, Isúi, Bería y Sera, hermana de ellos(P). Y los hijos de Bería: Heber y Malquiel(Q). 18 Estos son los hijos de Zilpa, a quien Labán dio a su hija Lea, y que le dio a luz a Jacob estas dieciséis personas. 19 Los hijos de Raquel, mujer de Jacob: José y Benjamín. 20 Y a José, en la tierra de Egipto le nacieron Manasés y Efraín, los cuales le dio a luz Asenat, hija de Potifera, sacerdote de On(R). 21 Los hijos de Benjamín: Bela, Bequer(S), Asbel, Gera, Naamán, Ehi[o], Ros, Mupim[p], Hupim[q] y Ard[r]. 22 Estos son los hijos de Raquel, que le nacieron a Jacob; catorce personas en total. 23 Los hijos de Dan: Husim[s]. 24 Los hijos de Neftalí: Jahzeel[t], Guni, Jezer y Silem[u]. 25 Estos son los hijos de Bilha(T), a quien Labán dio a su hija Raquel(U), y que ella le dio a luz a Jacob; en total siete personas. 26 Todas las personas de la familia de Jacob, que vinieron a Egipto, descendientes directos suyos[v], no incluyendo las mujeres de los hijos de Jacob, eran en total sesenta y seis personas(V). 27 Y los hijos de José, que le nacieron en Egipto, eran dos[w]: todas las personas de la casa de Jacob que vinieron a Egipto, eran setenta(W).

Encuentro de Jacob y José

28 Y Jacob envió a Judá delante de sí a José, para indicar delante de él el camino a Gosén(X); y llegaron a la tierra de Gosén. 29 Y José unció su carro y subió a Gosén para ir al encuentro de su padre Israel; y apenas lo vio[x], se echó sobre su cuello y lloró largamente sobre su cuello(Y). 30 Entonces Israel dijo a José: Ahora ya puedo morir[y], después que he visto tu rostro y sé que todavía vives. 31 Y José dijo a sus hermanos y a la familia[z] de su padre: Subiré y lo haré saber a Faraón, y le diré: «Mis hermanos y la familia de mi padre, que estaban en la tierra de Canaán, han venido a mí(Z); 32 y los hombres son pastores de ovejas, pues son hombres de ganado; y han traído sus ovejas y sus vacas, y todo lo que tienen». 33 Y sucederá que cuando Faraón os llame y os diga: «¿Cuál es vuestra ocupación(AA)?», 34 vosotros responderéis: «Tus siervos han sido hombres de ganado desde su[aa] juventud hasta ahora, tanto nosotros como nuestros padres(AB)», a fin de que habitéis en la tierra de Gosén(AC); porque para los egipcios todo pastor de ovejas es una abominación(AD).

Genesis 46
New King James Version

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.”
