Genesis 46

1 And Israel journeyeth, and all that he hath, and cometh in to Beer-Sheba, and sacrificeth sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;⋮

2 and God speaketh to Israel in visions of the night, and saith, 'Jacob, Jacob;' and he saith, 'Here am I.'⋮

3 And He saith, 'I am God, God of thy father, be not afraid of going down to Egypt, for for a great nation I set thee there;⋮

4 I — I go down with thee to Egypt, and I — I also certainly bring thee up, and Joseph doth put his hand on thine eyes.'⋮

5 And Jacob riseth from Beer-Sheba, and the sons of Israel bear away Jacob their father, And their infants, and their wives, in the waggons which Pharaoh hath sent to bear him,⋮

6 and they take their cattle, and their goods which they have acquired in the land of Canaan, and come into Egypt — Jacob, and all his seed with him,⋮

7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, yea, all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.⋮

8 And these are the names of the sons of Israel who are coming into Egypt: Jacob and his sons, Jacob's first-born, Reuben.⋮

27 And the sons of Joseph who have been born to him in Egypt are two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who are coming into Egypt are seventy.⋮

28 And Judah he hath sent before him unto Joseph, to direct before him to Goshen, and they come into the land of Goshen;⋮

29 and Joseph harnesseth his chariot, and goeth up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and appeareth unto him, and falleth on his neck, and weepeth on his neck again;⋮

30 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Let me die this time, after my seeing thy face, for thou art yet alive.'⋮

31 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, and unto the house of his father, 'I go up, and declare to Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and the house of my father who are in the land of Canaan have come in unto me;⋮

32 and the men are feeders of a flock, for they have been men of cattle; and their flock, and their herd, and all that they have, they have brought.'⋮

33 'And it hath come to pass when Pharaoh calleth for you, and hath said, What are your works?⋮

34 that ye have said, Thy servants have been men of cattle from our youth, even until now, both we and our fathers, — in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for the abomination of the Egyptians is every one feeding a flock.'⋮
