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.
9 And the sons of Reuben: Enoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10 -And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Saul 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 Pherez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pherez were Hezron and Hamul.
13 -And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puah, and Job, and Shimron.
14 -And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
15 -These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan-Aram; and his daughter, Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-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 Jishvah, and Jishvi, 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 she bore these to Jacob: sixteen souls.
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.
22 -These are the sons of Rachel who 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, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter; and she bore these to Jacob: all the souls were seven.
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.
1 Tendo Israel partido com tudo o que tinha, veio a Berseba e ofereceu sacrifício ao Deus de seu pai Isaque.
2 Falou Deus a Israel em visões de noite e disse: Jacó, Jacó! Respondeu Jacó: Eis-me aqui.
3 Continuou Deus: Eu sou Deus, o Deus de teu pai; não temas descer para o Egito; pois ali farei de ti uma grande nação.
4 Eu descerei contigo para o Egito, e eu certamente te farei tornar a subir. José porá as mãos sobre os teus olhos.
5 Jacó levantou-se de Berseba; e os filhos de Israel levaram seu pai Jacó, seus filhinhos e suas mulheres nos carros que Faraó tinha enviado para o levar.
6 Tomaram o seu gado e os bens que haviam adquirido na terra de Canaã, e foram ao Egito, Jacó e toda a sua descendência.
7 Seus filhos, e os filhos de seus filhos, suas filhas e as filhas de seus filhos e toda a sua descendência, levou-os consigo para o Egito.
8 São estes os nomes dos filhos de Israel, Jacó e seus filhos, que foram ao Egito: Rúben, primogênito de Jacó.
9 Os filhos de Rúben: Enoque, Palu, Hezrom e Carmi.
10 Os filhos de Simeão: Jemuel, Jamim, Oade, Jaquim, Zoar e Saul, filho de uma mulher cananéia.
11 Os filhos de Levi: Gérsom, Coate e Merari.
12 Os filhos de Judá: Er, Onã, Selá, Perez e Zera; Er e Onã, porém, morreram na terra de Canaã. Os filhos de Perez eram: Hezrom e Hamul.
13 Os filhos de Issacar: Tola, Puva, Jó e Sinrom.
14 Os filhos de Zebulom: Serede, Elom e Jaleel.
15 Estes são os filhos de Lia, que ela deu à luz a Jacó em Padã-Arã, além de Diná, sua filha: todas as almas de seus filhos e de suas filhas eram trinta e três.
16 Os filhos de Gade: Zifiom, Hagi, Suni, Ezbom, Eri, Arodi e Areli.
17 Os filhos de Aser: Imna, Isvá, Isvi, Berias e Sera, irmã deles; e os filhos de Berias: Héber e Malquiel.
18 Estes são os filhos de Zilpa, a qual Labão deu a sua filha Lia; e estes deu ela à luz a Jacó, a saber, dezesseis almas.
19 Os filhos de Raquel, mulher de Jacó: José e Benjamim.
20 Nasceram a José na terra do Egito Manassés e Efraim, os quais lhe deu à luz Azenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om.
21 Os filhos de Benjamim: Bela, Bequer, Asbel, Gera, Naamã, Eí, Rôs, Mupim, Hupim e Arde.
22 Estes são os filhos de Raquel, que nasceram a Jacó: todas as almas eram quatorze.
23 O filho de Dã: Husim.
24 Os filhos de Naftali: Jazeel, Guni, Jezer e Silem.
25 Estes são os filhos de Bila, a qual Labão deu a sua filha Raquel, e estes deu ela à luz a Jacó: todas as almas eram sete.
26 Todas as almas que vieram com Jacó ao Egito, e que saíram da sua coxa, não contando as mulheres dos filhos de Jacó, todas as almas eram sessenta e seis;
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 Jacó enviou a Judá adiante de si a José, para o encaminhar a Gósen; e chegaram à terra de Gósen.
29 José mandou aprontar o seu carro e subiu ao encontro de Israel, seu pai, a Gósen; e tendo-se-lhe apresentado, lançou-se-lhe ao pescoço e ali chorou muito tempo.
30 Disse Israel a José: Morra eu agora, pois tenho visto o teu rosto, que ainda vives.
31 Disse José a seus irmãos e à casa de seu pai: Subirei, darei notícia a Faraó e lhe direi: meus irmãos, e a casa de meu pai, que estavam na terra de Canaã, vieram para mim.
32 Os homens são pastores, pois se têm ocupado em apascentar gado; e trouxeram os seus rebanhos, o seu gado e tudo o que têm.
33 Quando, pois, Faraó vos chamar e vos perguntar: Que ocupação é a vossa?
34 Os teus servos temo-nos ocupado em apascentar gado deste a mocidade até agora, tanto nós como nossos pais, assim respondereis para que habiteis na terra de Gósen; porque todo o pastor de ovelhas é abominação para os egípcios.
