|
1 | And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father
Isaac. |
|
2 | And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and
said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. |
|
3 | 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: |
|
4 | 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. |
|
5 | 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. |
|
6 | 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: |
|
7 | His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his
sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into
Egypt. |
|
8 | And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came
into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn. |
|
9 | 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. |
