The Book of Genesis
Genesis 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.
- 2
- And God spake unto 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 into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 8
- And these are the names of the children of Israel, which
came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
- 9
- 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.
