Genesis 46
46:1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba,
and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
46:2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob,
Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
46:3 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:
46:4 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.
46:5 And 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 which
Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
46:6 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:
46:7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons's
daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
46:8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt,
Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first-born.
46:9 And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, and Pallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
46:10 And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and
Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
46:11 And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
46:12 And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Perez, and Zerah; but
Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and
Hamul.
46:13 And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, and Shimron.
46:14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
46:15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob in Paddan-aram, with
his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and
three.
46:16 And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi,
and Areli.
46:17 And the sons of Asher: Imnah, and Ishvah, and Ishvi, and Beriah, and Serah
their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber, and Malchiel.
46:18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and
these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
46:19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
46:20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom
Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare unto him.
46:21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman,
Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
46:22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were
fourteen.
46:23 And the sons of Dan: Hushim.
46:24 And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
46:25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter,
and these she bare unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his loins,
besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
46:27 and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all
the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
46:28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to show the way before him unto
Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
46:29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father,
to Goshen; and he presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck, and wept on
his neck a good while.
46:30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face,
that thou art yet alive.
46:31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go
up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house,
who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
46:32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle; and they
have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
46:33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say,
What is your occupation?
46:34 that ye shall say, Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth
even until now, both we, and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of
Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
