Genesis 46 – New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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 Then 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 into a great ^H1419 nation ^H1471 there ^H8033. 4 I will go ^H3381 down ^H3381 with you to Egypt ^H4714, and I will also ^H1571 assuredly ^H5927 bring ^H5927 you up ^H5927 again ^H3254; and Joseph ^H3130 will [fn]close ^H7896 H3027 your eyes ^H5869.”

5 Then Jacob ^H3290 left ^H6965 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 They also took ^H3947 their livestock ^H4735 and their possessions ^H7399, which ^H834 they had acquired ^H7408 in the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667, and came ^H935 to Egypt ^H4714, Jacob ^H3290 and all ^H3605 his [fn]descendants ^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 [fn]descendants ^H2233 he brought ^H935 with him to Egypt ^H4714.

8 Now these ^H428 are the names ^H8034 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 who went ^H935 to Egypt ^H4714, Jacob ^H3290 and his sons ^H1121: Reuben ^H7205, Jacob’s ^H3290 firstborn ^H1060.

28 Now Jacob sent ^H7971 Judah ^H3063 ahead ^H6440 of him to Joseph ^H3130, to [fn]guide ^H3384 him to Goshen ^H1657; and they came ^H935 into the land ^H776 of Goshen ^H1657. 29 And Joseph ^H3130 [fn]prepared ^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 to ^H413 him, Joseph threw ^H5307 himself 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 let me die ^H4191, since ^H310 I have seen ^H7200 your face ^H6440, that you are still ^H5750 alive ^H2416.” 31 But 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 will 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 When ^H3588 Pharaoh ^H6547 calls ^H7121 for you and says ^H559, ‘What ^H4100 is your occupation ^H4639?’ 34 you shall say ^H559, ‘Your servants ^H5650 have been ^H1961 [fn]keepers ^H376 of livestock ^H4735 since ^H4480 our youth ^H5271 even until ^H5704 now ^H6258, both ^H1571 we and our fathers ^H1,’ so ^H5668 that ^H5668 you may live ^H3427 in the land ^H776 of Goshen ^H1657; for every ^H3605 shepherd ^H7462 is an abomination ^H8441 to the Egyptians ^H4714.”
