1
So Jacob left Canaan. He took everything that belonged to him. When he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the God of his father Isaac.
2
During the night, God spoke to Israel in a dream. He said, ‘Jacob! Jacob!’ Jacob replied, ‘Yes, I am here.’
3
God said, ‘I am God. I am the God that your father worshipped. Do not be afraid to go to Egypt. Your descendants will be very many so that you become a great nation there.
4
I will go with you to Egypt. I will also bring you back again. Joseph will be with you when you die.’
5
Then Jacob left Beersheba to go to Egypt. His sons took their father as well as their wives and children. They rode in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry them.
6
They also took all their animals and everything that they had got in Canaan. In that way, Jacob and all his family went to Egypt.
7
He took his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters. He took all his family with him to Egypt.
8
These are the names of the descendants of Israel who went to Egypt, (that is, the sons of Jacob): Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob.
9
The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
10
The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
11
The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
12
The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah. Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
13
The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub and Shimron.
14
The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon and Jahleel.
15
These were the sons that Leah gave birth to in Paddan Aram, and their children. Leah also gave birth to a daughter, Dinah. These sons and daughters of Jacob were 33 in all.
16
The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.
17
The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah. Their sister was Serah. The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malkiel.
18
These were the sons that Zilpah gave birth to for Jacob, and their children. Laban had given Zilpah as a servant to his daughter Leah. There were 16 children in all.
19
The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
20
Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in Egypt. Their mother was Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
21
The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.
22
These were the sons that Rachel gave birth to for Jacob, and their children. There were 14 in all.
23
The son of Dan: Hushim.
24
The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer and Shillem.
25
These were the sons that Bilhah gave birth to, and their children. Bilhah was Rachel's servant that Laban gave to her. Bilhah gave birth to these sons for Jacob. There were seven in all.
26
Jacob's descendants who went with him to Egypt were 66. That does not include his son's wives.
27
Joseph had two sons that were born in Egypt. So there were 70 people of Jacob's family who were there in Egypt.
28
Jacob sent Judah to go to Joseph before they all arrived. He wanted Joseph to show them the way to Goshen. Finally they all arrived in Goshen.
29
Joseph prepared his chariot and he went to Goshen to meet Jacob, his father. When they met, Joseph hugged his father and he wept for a long time.
30
Jacob said to Joseph, ‘Now I am ready to die. I have seen for myself that you are still alive.’
31
Then Joseph spoke to his brothers and to his father's people. He said, ‘I will go and say to Pharaoh, “My brothers and all my father's people have arrived here from Canaan.
32
The men are shepherds. They take care of their animals. They have brought with them their sheep, goats, cows and everything else that they have.”
33
Pharaoh will call you to meet him. He will ask you, “What is your job?”
34
Then you should answer, “We have always taken care of cows and sheep since we were young men. Our ancestors have always done this work.” Egyptians refuse to live near people who take care of sheep. So Pharaoh will let you stay in the region of Goshen.’
