And Israel
took his journey with all that he had, and came
to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God
of his father Isaac.
02 And God spake unto Israel in the visions
of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he
said, Here am I.
03 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:
04 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.
05 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.
06 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:
07 His sons, and his sons' sons with him,
his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all
his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
08 And these are the names of the children
of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his
sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
09 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and
Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and
Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul
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 Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan
died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of
Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and
Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and
Elon, and Jahleel.
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.
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
Ishuah, and Isui, 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 these she bare
unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.

19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph,
and Benjamin.
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.
21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and
Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and
Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
22 These are the sons of Rachel, which 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, which
Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare
these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
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;
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.
28 And he sent Judah before him unto
Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they
came into the land of Goshen.
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.
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me
die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art
yet alive.
31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and
unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew
Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my
father's house, which were in the land of Canaan,
are come unto me;
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.
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh
shall call you, and shall say, What is your
occupation?
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.
