46:1  And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and
came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his
father Isaac.
 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 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.
 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' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him
into Egypt.
 46:8  And these [are] the names of the children of Israel,
which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's
firstborn.
 46:9  And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, 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
Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.
And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
 46:13  And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job,
and Shimron.
 46:14  And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
 46:15  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.
 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; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui,
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, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of
On bare unto him.
 46:21  And the sons of Benjamin [were] Belah, and Becher, and
Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim,
and Ard.
 46:22  These [are] the sons of Rachel, which 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, which Laban gave unto
Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the
souls [were] seven.
 46:26  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;
 46:27  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.
 46:28  And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his
face 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 presented himself unto him;
and he 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, because thou [art] yet alive.
 46:31  And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his
father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto
him, My brethren, and my father's house, which [were] in the
land of Canaan, are come unto me;
 46:32  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.
 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' 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.
