Jacob Moves to Egypt

1 So Israel ^H3478 set ^H5265 out ^H5265 with all ^H3605 that he had and came ^H935 to Beersheba ^H884 and offered ^H2076 sacrifices ^H2077 to the God ^H430 of his father ^H1 Isaac ^H3327.

2 And God ^H430 spoke ^H559 to Israel ^H3478 [fn]in visions ^H4759 of the night ^H3915 and said ^H559, “Jacob ^H3290, Jacob ^H3290.” And he said ^H559, “Here ^H2009 I am.” 3 And He said ^H559, “I am God ^H410, the God ^H430 of your father ^H1; do not be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 to go ^H3381 down ^H3381 to Egypt ^H4714, for I will make ^H7760 you a great ^H1419 nation ^H1471 there ^H8033. 4 I Myself will go ^H3381 down ^H3381 with you to Egypt ^H4714, and I Myself will also ^H1571 bring ^H5927 you up ^H5927 again ^H5927; and Joseph ^H3130 will [fn]close ^H7896 your eyes ^H5869 with his hand ^H3027.”

5 Then Jacob ^H3290 arose ^H6965 from ^H4480 Beersheba ^H884; and the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 carried ^H5375 their father ^H1 Jacob ^H3290 and their little ^H2945 ones ^H2945 and their wives ^H802 in the wagons ^H5699 which ^H834 Pharaoh ^H6547 had sent ^H7971 to carry ^H5375 him. 6 And they took ^H3947 their livestock ^H4735 and their possessions ^H7399, which ^H834 they had accumulated ^H7408 in the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667, and they came ^H935 to Egypt ^H4714, Jacob ^H3290 and all ^H3605 his seed ^H2233 with him: 7 his sons ^H1121 and his grandsons ^H1121 with him, his daughters ^H1323 and his granddaughters ^H1323 H1121, and all ^H3605 his seed ^H2233 he brought ^H935 with him to Egypt ^H4714.

8 Now these ^H428 are the names ^H8034 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478—of Jacob ^H3290 and his sons ^H1121—who were coming ^H935 to Egypt ^H4714: Reuben ^H7205, Jacob’s ^H3290 firstborn ^H1060. 9 The sons ^H1121 of Reuben ^H7205: Hanoch ^H2585 and Pallu ^H6396 and Hezron ^H2696 and Carmi ^H3756. 10 The sons ^H1121 of Simeon ^H8095: [fn]Jemuel ^H3223 and Jamin ^H3226 and Ohad ^H161 and [fn]Jachin ^H3199 and [fn]Zohar ^H6714 and Shaul ^H7586 the son ^H1121 of a Canaanite ^H3669 woman. 11 The sons ^H1121 of Levi ^H3878: [fn]Gershon ^H1648, Kohath ^H6955, and Merari ^H4847. 12 The sons ^H1121 of Judah ^H3063: Er ^H6147 and Onan ^H209 and Shelah ^H7956 and Perez ^H6557 and Zerah ^H2226 (but Er ^H6147 and Onan ^H209 died ^H4191 in the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667). And the sons ^H1121 of Perez ^H6557 were Hezron ^H2696 and Hamul ^H2538. 13 The sons ^H1121 of Issachar ^H3485: Tola ^H8439 and [fn]Puvvah ^H6312 and [fn]Iob ^H3102 and Shimron ^H8110. 14 The sons ^H1121 of Zebulun ^H2074: Sered ^H5624 and Elon ^H356 and Jahleel ^H3177. 15 These ^H428 are the sons ^H1121 of Leah ^H3812, whom ^H834 she bore ^H3205 to Jacob ^H3290 in Paddan-aram ^H6307, with his daughter ^H1323 Dinah ^H1783; [fn]all ^H3605 his sons ^H1121 and his daughters ^H1323 numbered thirty-three ^H7970 H7969.

16 The sons ^H1121 of Gad ^H1410: [fn]Ziphion ^H6837 and Haggi ^H2291, Shuni ^H7764 and [fn]Ezbon ^H675, Eri ^H6179 and [fn]Arodi ^H722 and Areli ^H692. 17 The sons ^H1121 of Asher ^H836: Imnah ^H3232 and Ishvah ^H3438 and Ishvi ^H3440 and Beriah ^H1283 and their sister ^H269 Serah ^H8294. And the sons ^H1121 of Beriah ^H1283: Heber ^H2268 and Malchiel ^H4439. 18 These ^H428 are the sons ^H1121 of Zilpah ^H2153, whom ^H834 Laban ^H3837 gave ^H5414 to his daughter ^H1323 Leah ^H3812; and she bore ^H3205 to Jacob ^H3290 these ^H428 sixteen ^H8337 H6240 persons ^H5315.

19 The sons ^H1121 of Jacob’s ^H3290 wife ^H802 Rachel ^H7354: Joseph ^H3130 and Benjamin ^H1144. 20 Now to Joseph ^H3130 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 were born ^H3205 Manasseh ^H4519 and Ephraim ^H669, whom ^H834 Asenath ^H621, the daughter ^H1323 of Potiphera ^H6319, priest ^H3548 of On ^H204, bore ^H3205 to him. 21 The sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144: Bela ^H1106 and Becher ^H1071 and Ashbel ^H788, Gera ^H1617 and Naaman ^H5283, [fn]Ehi ^H278 and Rosh ^H7220, [fn]Muppim ^H4649 and [fn]Huppim ^H2650 and Ard ^H714. 22 These ^H428 are the sons ^H1121 of Rachel ^H7354, who ^H834 were born ^H3205 to Jacob ^H3290; there were fourteen ^H702 H6240 persons ^H5315 in all ^H3605.

23 The sons ^H1121 of Dan ^H1835: [fn]Hushim ^H2366. 24 The sons ^H1121 of Naphtali ^H5321: [fn]Jahzeel ^H3183 and Guni ^H1476 and Jezer ^H3337 and [fn]Shillem ^H8006.

25 These ^H428 are the sons ^H1121 of Bilhah ^H1090, whom ^H834 Laban ^H3837 gave ^H5414 to his daughter ^H1323 Rachel ^H7354, and she bore ^H3205 these ^H428 to Jacob ^H3290; there were seven ^H7651 persons ^H5315 in all ^H3605. 26 All ^H3605 the persons ^H5315 belonging to Jacob ^H3290, who came ^H935 to Egypt ^H4714, who came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of his loins ^H3409, excluding ^H905 the wives ^H802 of Jacob’s ^H3290 sons ^H1121, were sixty-six ^H8346 H8337 persons ^H5315 in all ^H3605, 27 and the sons ^H1121 of Joseph ^H3130, who were born ^H3205 to him in Egypt ^H4714 were [fn]two ^H8147; all ^H3605 the persons ^H5315 of the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290, who came ^H935 to Egypt ^H4714, were seventy ^H7657.

28 Now he sent ^H7971 Judah ^H3063 before ^H6440 him to Joseph ^H3130, to point ^H3384 out the way before ^H6440 him to Goshen ^H1657; and they came ^H935 into the land ^H776 of Goshen ^H1657. 29 And Joseph ^H3130 harnessed ^H631 his chariot ^H4818 and went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Goshen ^H1657 to meet ^H7122 his father ^H1 Israel ^H3478; as soon as he appeared ^H7200 [fn]before ^H413 him, he fell ^H5307 on his neck ^H6677 and wept ^H1058 on his neck ^H6677 a long ^H5750 time ^H5750. 30 Then Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 to Joseph ^H3130, “Now ^H6471 I can die ^H4191, since ^H310 I have seen ^H7200 your face ^H6440, that you are still ^H5750 alive ^H2416.” 31 And Joseph ^H3130 said ^H559 to his brothers ^H251 and to his father’s ^H1 household ^H1004, “I will go ^H5927 up ^H5927 and tell ^H5046 Pharaoh ^H6547 and say ^H559 to him, ‘My brothers ^H251 and my father’s ^H1 household ^H1004, who ^H834 were in the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667, have come ^H935 to me; 32 and the men ^H376 are shepherds ^H7462, for they have been ^H1961 [fn]keepers ^H376 of livestock ^H4735; and they have brought ^H935 their flocks ^H6629 and their herds ^H1241 and all ^H3605 that they have.’ 33 And it will be ^H1961 when ^H3588 Pharaoh ^H6547 calls ^H7121 you and says ^H559, ‘What ^H4100 is your occupation ^H4639?’ 34 then you shall say ^H559, ‘Your servants ^H5650 have been ^H1961 [fn]keepers ^H376 of livestock ^H4735 from our youth ^H5271 and until ^H5704 now ^H6258, both ^H1571 we and our fathers ^H1,’ that you may [fn]live ^H3427 in the land ^H776 of Goshen ^H1657; for every ^H3605 shepherd ^H7462 is an abomination ^H8441 to the Egyptians ^H4714.”
