Genesis 46

46^*And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to ^aBeer-sheba, and offered sacrifices ^bunto the God of his father Isaac. ²And God spake unto Israel ^cin the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. ³And he said, I am God, ^dthe God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there ^emake of thee a great nation: ⁴I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely ^fbring thee up again: and ^gJoseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. ⁵And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons ^hwhich Pharaoh had sent to carry him. ⁶And 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: ⁷His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, ⁱhis daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

⁸And ^kthese are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: ^lReuben, Jacob’s firstborn. ⁹And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. ¹⁰And the sons of Simeon; ^||Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and ^||Jachin, and ^||Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman. ¹¹And the sons of ^mLevi; ^||Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ¹²And the sons of ⁿJudah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zerah: but ^oEr and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of ^pPharez were Hezron and Hamul. ^13qAnd the sons of Issachar; Tola, and ^||Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron. ¹⁴And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. ¹⁵These be the sons of Leah, ^rwhich she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. ¹⁶And the sons of Gad; ^sZiphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and ^||Ezbon, Eri, and ^||Arodi, and Areli. ^17tAnd the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel. ^18uThese are the sons of Zilpah, ^xwhom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls. ¹⁹The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin. ^20yAnd unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah ^||priest of On bare unto him. ^21zAnd the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, ^||Ehi, and Rosh, ^||Muppim, and ^||Huppim, and Ard. ²²These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. ²³And the sons of Dan; ^†Hushim. ^24aAnd the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. ^25bThese are the sons of Bilhah, ^cwhich Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. ²⁶All 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; ²⁷And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: ^dall the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

²⁸And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came ^einto the land of Goshen. ²⁹And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he ^ffell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. ³⁰And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. ³¹And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, ^gI 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; ³²And 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. ³³And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, ^hWhat is your occupation? ³⁴That ye shall say, Thy servants’ ⁱtrade hath been about cattle ^kfrom our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is ^lan abomination unto the Egyptians.
