46So Israel set out on the journey with everything he owned. He arrived at Beersheba and worshiped, offering sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.H3478H5265H935H884H2076H2077H430H1H3327 2God spoke to Israel in a vision that night: "Jacob! Jacob!" "Yes?" he said. "I'm listening."H430H559H3478H4759H3915H559H3290H3290H559 3God said, "I am the God of your father. Don't be afraid of going down to Egypt. I'm going to make you a great nation there.H559H410H430H1H3372H3381H4714H7760H1419H1471 4I'll go with you down to Egypt; I'll also bring you back here. And when you die, Joseph will be with you; with his own hand he'll close your eyes."H3381H4714H5927H5927H3130H7896H3027H5869 5Then Jacob left Beersheba. Israel's sons loaded their father and their little ones and their wives on the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him.H3290H6965H884H1121H3478H5375H3290H1H2945H802H5699H6547H7971H5375 6They arrived in Egypt with the livestock and the wealth they had accumulated in Canaan. Jacob brought everyone in his family with him—H3947H4735H7399H7408H776H3667H935H4714H3290H2233 7sons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters. Everyone.H1121H1121H1121H1323H1121H1323H2233H935H4714 8These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his descendants, who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.H8034H1121H3478H935H4714H3290H1121H7205H3290H1060 9Reuben's sons: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.H1121H7205H2585H6396H2696H3756 10Simeon's sons: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.H1121H8095H3223H3226H161H3199H6714H7586H1121H3669 11Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.H1121H3878H1648H6955H4847 12Judah's sons: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (Er and Onan had already died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.H1121H3063H6147H209H7956H6557H2226H6147H209H4191H776H3667H1121H6557H2696H2538 13Issachar's sons: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.H1121H3485H8439H6312H3102H8110 14Zebulun's sons: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.H1121H2074H5624H356H3177 15These are the sons that Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram. There was also his daughter Dinah. Altogether, sons and daughters, they numbered thirty-three.H1121H3812H3205H3290H6307H1323H1783H5315H1121H1323H7970H7969 16Gad's sons: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.H1121H1410H6837H2291H7764H675H6179H722H692 17Asher's sons: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah. Also their sister Serah, and Beriah's sons, Heber and Malkiel.H1121H836H3232H3438H3440H1283H8294H269H1121H1283H2268H4439 18These are the children that Zilpah, the maid that Laban gave to his daughter Leah, bore to Jacob—sixteen of them.H1121H2153H3837H5414H3812H1323H3205H3290H6240H8337H5315 19The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.H1121H7354H3290H802H3130H1144 20Joseph was the father of two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, from his marriage to Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. They were born to him in Egypt.H3130H776H4714H3205H4519H669H621H1323H6319H3548H204H3205 21Benjamin's sons were Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.H1121H1144H1106H1071H788H1617H5283H278H7220H4649H2650H714 22These are the children born to Jacob through Rachel—fourteen.H1121H7354H3205H3290H5315H702H6240 23Dan's son: Hushim.H1121H1835H2366 24Naphtali's sons: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.H1121H5321H3183H1476H3337H8006 25These are the children born to Jacob through Bilhah, the maid Laban had given to his daughter Rachel—seven.H1121H1090H3837H5414H7354H1323H3205H3290H5315H7651 26Summing up, all those who went down to Egypt with Jacob—his own children, not counting his sons' wives—numbered sixty-six.H5315H935H3290H4714H3318H3409H3290H1121H802H5315H8346H8337 27Counting in the two sons born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob's family who ended up in Egypt numbered seventy.H1121H3130H3205H4714H8147H5315H5315H1004H3290H935H4714H7657 28Jacob sent Judah on ahead to get directions to Goshen from Joseph. When they got to Goshen,H7971H3063H6440H3130H3384H6440H1657H935H776H1657 29Joseph gave orders for his chariot and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. The moment Joseph saw him, he threw himself on his neck and wept. He wept a long time.H3130H631H4818H5927H7125H3478H1H1657H7200H5307H6677H1058H6677H5750 30Israel said to Joseph, "I'm ready to die. I've looked into your face—you are indeed alive."H3478H559H3130H6471H4191H310H7200H6440H5750H2416 31Joseph then spoke to his brothers and his father's family. "I'll go and tell Pharaoh, 'My brothers and my father's family, all of whom lived in Canaan, have come to me.H3130H559H251H1H1004H5927H5046H6547H559H251H1H1004H776H3667H935 32The men are shepherds; they've always made their living by raising livestock. And they've brought their flocks and herds with them, along with everything else they own.'H582H7462H6629H4735H935H6629H1241 33When Pharaoh calls you in and asks what kind of work you do,H6547H7121H559H4639 34tell him, 'Your servants have always kept livestock for as long as we can remember—we and our parents also.' That way he'll let you stay apart in the area of Goshen—for Egyptians look down on anyone who is a shepherd."H559H5650H582H4735H5271H1H3427H776H1657H7462H6629H8441H4714
