Genesis

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 Zer­ah: 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.
