雅各下埃及

46 以色列帶著他所有的一切起程,到了別是巴,就向他父親以撒的 神獻祭。  神在夜間的異象中對以色列說:“雅各,雅各。”雅各說:“我在這裡。”  神說:“我是 神,就是你父親的 神;你不要怕下埃及去,因為我必使你在那裡成為大國。 我要親自與你一同下到埃及去,也必把你帶上來。約瑟要親手合上你的眼給你送終。” 雅各就從別是巴起程。以色列的眾子,用法老為雅各送來的車輛,接載他們的父親雅各,以及他們的孩子和妻子。 他們又帶著牲畜,和他們在迦南地所得的財物,來到埃及。這樣,雅各和他所有的子孫,都一同來了。 雅各把他的眾兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女和他所有的後裔,都一同帶到埃及去了。

雅各的子孫

來到埃及的以色列人,就是雅各和他的子孫,名單記在下面:雅各的長子是流本。 流本的兒子是哈諾、法路、希斯崙和迦米。 10 西緬的兒子是耶母利、雅憫、阿轄、雅斤、瑣轄和迦南女子所生的掃羅。 11 利未的兒子是革順、哥轄和米拉利。 12 猶大的兒子是珥、俄南、示拉、法勒斯和謝拉,但是珥和俄南都在迦南地死了。法勒斯的兒子是希斯倫和哈母勒。 13 以薩迦的兒子是陀拉、普瓦、雅述(按照《按照馬拉文本》,“雅述”作“喲伯”;現參照《撒瑪利亞五經》和《七十士譯本》翻譯;參民26:24及代上7:1)和伸崙。 14 西布倫的兒子是西烈、以倫和雅利。 15 以上這些人是利亞在巴旦.亞蘭給雅各生的兒子,另外還有女兒底拿。這些子孫一共三十三人。 16 迦得的兒子是洗非芸、哈基、書尼、以斯本、以利、亞羅底和亞列利。 17 亞設的兒子是音拿、亦施瓦、亦施韋和比利亞,還有他們的姊妹西拉。比利亞的兒子是希別和瑪結。 18 以上這些人是拉班給女兒利亞作婢女的悉帕給雅各生的子孫,一共十六人。 19 雅各的妻子拉結,生了約瑟和便雅憫。 20 約瑟在埃及地生了瑪拿西和以法蓮,就是安城的祭司波提非拉的女兒亞西納給約瑟生的。 21 便雅憫的兒子是比拉、比結、亞實別、基拉、乃幔、以希、羅實、母平、戶平和亞勒。 22 以上這些人是拉結給雅各生的子孫,一共十四人。 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 以上這些人是拉班給女兒拉結作婢女的辟拉給雅各生的子孫,一共七人。 26 所有從雅各所生、與雅各一同來到埃及的人,除了他的兒婦之外,一共六十六人。 27 另外還有約瑟在埃及所生的兩個兒子。雅各家來到埃及的所有成員,一共七十人。

約瑟到歌珊迎接父親

28 雅各派猶大先到約瑟那裡去,請約瑟指教他去歌珊的路。於是他們來到歌珊地。 29 約瑟預備了車,上去歌珊迎接他的父親以色列。約瑟一看見他,就伏在他的頸項上,在他的頸項上哭了很久。 30 以色列對約瑟說:“這一次我看見了你的面,知道你還在,我死了也甘心。” 31 約瑟對他的兄弟們和他的父家說:“我要上去告訴法老,對他說:‘我在迦南地的兄弟們和我的父家,都到我這裡來了。 32 這些人都是牧羊人,以牧養牲畜為生。他們把自己的牛羊和一切所有的,都帶來了。’ 33 法老召見你們的時候,如果問你們:‘你們是作甚麼的?’ 34 你們就要回答:‘僕人們從幼年直到現在,都是以牧養牲畜為生。我們和我們的祖先都是一樣。’這樣,你們就可以住在歌珊地,因為埃及人厭惡所有牧羊的人。”

46 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:

I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:

His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.

10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.

11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.

13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.

14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.

15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.

16 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.

17 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.

18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.

19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.

20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.

21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.

22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.

23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.

24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.

25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.

26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;

27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.

31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;

32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.

33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?

34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
