1 E partiu Israel com tudo quanto tinha, e veio a Berseba, e ofereceu sacrifícios ao Deus de seu pai Isaque.
2 E falou Deus a Israel em visões de noite, e disse: Jacó, Jacó! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui.
3 E disse: Eu sou Deus, o Deus de teu pai; não temas descer ao Egito, porque eu te farei ali uma grande nação.
4 E descerei contigo ao Egito, e certamente te farei tornar a subir, e José porá a sua mão sobre os teus olhos.
5 Então levantou-se Jacó de Berseba; e os filhos de Israel levaram a seu pai Jacó, e seus meninos, e as suas mulheres, nos carros que Faraó enviara para o levar.
6 E tomaram o seu gado e os seus bens que tinham adquirido na terra de Canaã, e vieram ao Egito, Jacó e toda a sua descendência com ele;
7 Os seus filhos e os filhos de seus filhos com ele, as filhas, e as filhas de seus filhos, e toda a sua descendência levou consigo ao Egito.
8 E estes são os nomes dos filhos de Israel, que vieram ao Egito, Jacó e seus filhos: Rúben, o primogênito de Jacó.
9 E os filhos de Rúben: Enoque, Palu, Hezrom e Carmi.
10 E os filhos de Simeão: Jemuel, Jamim, Oade, Jaquim, Zoar e Saul, filho de uma mulher cananéia.
11 E os filhos de Levi: Gérson, Coate e Merari.
12 E os filhos de Judá: Er, Onã, Selá, Perez e Zerá; Er e Onã, porém, morreram na terra de Canaã; e os filhos de Perez foram Hezrom e Hamul.
13 E os filhos de Issacar: Tola, Puva, Jó e Sinrom.
14 E os filhos de Zebulom: Serede, Elom e Jaleel.
15 Estes são os filhos de Lia, que ela deu a Jacó em Padã-Arã, além de Diná, sua filha; todas as almas de seus filhos e de suas filhas foram trinta e três.
16 E os filhos de Gade: Zifiom, Hagi, Suni, Esbom, Eri, Arodi e Areli.
17 E os filhos de Aser: Imna, Isvá, Isvi, Berias e Sera, a irmã deles; e os filhos de Berias: Héber e Malquiel.
18 Estes são os filhos de Zilpa, a qual Labão deu à sua filha Lia; e deu a Jacó estas dezesseis almas.
19 Os filhos de Raquel, mulher de Jacó: José e Benjamim.
20 E nasceram a José na terra do Egito, Manassés e Efraim, que lhe deu Azenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om.
21 E os filhos de Benjamim: Belá, Bequer, Asbel, Gera, Naamã, Eí, Rôs, Mupim, Hupim e Arde.
22 Estes são os filhos de Raquel, que nasceram a Jacó, ao todo catorze almas.
23 E o filho de Dã: Husim.
24 E os filhos de Naftali: Jazeel, Guni, Jezer e Silém.
25 Estes são os filhos de Bila, a qual Labão deu à sua filha Raquel; e deu estes a Jacó; todas as almas foram sete.
26 Todas as almas que vieram com Jacó ao Egito, que saíram dos seus lombos, fora as mulheres dos filhos de Jacó, todas foram sessenta e seis almas.
27 E os filhos de José, que lhe nasceram no Egito, eram duas almas. Todas as almas da casa de Jacó, que vieram ao Egito, eram setenta.
28 E Jacó enviou Judá adiante de si a José, para o encaminhar a Gósen; e chegaram à terra de Gósen.
29 Então José aprontou o seu carro, e subiu ao encontro de Israel, seu pai, a Gósen. E, apresentando-se-lhe, lançou-se ao seu pescoço, e chorou sobre o seu pescoço longo tempo.
30 E Israel disse a José: Morra eu agora, pois já tenho visto o teu rosto, que ainda vives.
31 Depois disse José a seus irmãos, e à casa de seu pai: Eu subirei e anunciarei a Faraó, e lhe direi: Meus irmãos e a casa de meu pai, que estavam na terra de Canaã, vieram a mim!
32 E os homens são pastores de ovelhas, porque são homens de gado, e trouxeram consigo as suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e tudo o que têm.
33 Quando, pois, acontecer que Faraó vos chamar, e disser: Qual é o vosso negócio?
34 Então direis: Teus servos foram homens de gado desde a nossa mocidade até agora, tanto nós como os nossos pais; para que habiteis na terra de Gósen, porque todo o pastor de ovelhas é abominação aos egípcios.
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba; and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 And God spoke to 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 to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.
4 I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will also certainly bring thee up; and Joseph shall put his hand on thine eyes.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, on the waggons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came to 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 he brought with him to Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt: Jacob and his sons. Jacob's firstborn, Reuben.

19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asnath bore to him, the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On.
21 -And the sons of Benjamin: Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.

26 All the souls that came with Jacob to Egypt, that had come out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives: all the souls were sixty-six.
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 to Egypt were seventy.
28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to give notice before he came to Goshen. And they came into the land of Goshen.
29 Then Joseph yoked his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and he presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, after I have seen thy face, since thou still livest.
31 And Joseph said to his brethren and to his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to me;
32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been occupied with cattle; and they have brought their sheep, and their cattle, and all that they have.
33 And it shall come to pass that when Pharaoh shall call you and say, What is your occupation?
34 then ye shall say, Thy servants are men that have been occupied with cattle from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
