1 E partiu Israel com tudo quanto tinha, e veio a Berseba, e ofereceu sacrifícios ao Deus de seu pai Isaque.
2 E falou Deus a Israel em visões de noite, e disse: Jacó, Jacó! E ele disse: Eis-me aqui.
3 E disse: Eu sou Deus, o Deus de teu pai; não temas descer ao Egito, porque eu te farei ali uma grande nação.
4 E descerei contigo ao Egito, e certamente te farei tornar a subir, e José porá a sua mão sobre os teus olhos.
5 Então levantou-se Jacó de Berseba; e os filhos de Israel levaram a seu pai Jacó, e seus meninos, e as suas mulheres, nos carros que Faraó enviara para o levar.
6 E tomaram o seu gado e os seus bens que tinham adquirido na terra de Canaã, e vieram ao Egito, Jacó e toda a sua descendência com ele;
7 Os seus filhos e os filhos de seus filhos com ele, as filhas, e as filhas de seus filhos, e toda a sua descendência levou consigo ao Egito.
8 E estes são os nomes dos filhos de Israel, que vieram ao Egito, Jacó e seus filhos: Rúben, o primogênito de Jacó.
9 E os filhos de Rúben: Enoque, Palu, Hezrom e Carmi.
10 E os filhos de Simeão: Jemuel, Jamim, Oade, Jaquim, Zoar e Saul, filho de uma mulher cananéia.
11 E os filhos de Levi: Gérson, Coate e Merari.
12 E os filhos de Judá: Er, Onã, Selá, Perez e Zerá; Er e Onã, porém, morreram na terra de Canaã; e os filhos de Perez foram Hezrom e Hamul.
13 E os filhos de Issacar: Tola, Puva, Jó e Sinrom.
14 E os filhos de Zebulom: Serede, Elom e Jaleel.
15 Estes são os filhos de Lia, que ela deu a Jacó em Padã-Arã, além de Diná, sua filha; todas as almas de seus filhos e de suas filhas foram trinta e três.
16 E os filhos de Gade: Zifiom, Hagi, Suni, Esbom, Eri, Arodi e Areli.
17 E os filhos de Aser: Imna, Isvá, Isvi, Berias e Sera, a irmã deles; e os filhos de Berias: Héber e Malquiel.
18 Estes são os filhos de Zilpa, a qual Labão deu à sua filha Lia; e deu a Jacó estas dezesseis almas.
19 Os filhos de Raquel, mulher de Jacó: José e Benjamim.
20 E nasceram a José na terra do Egito, Manassés e Efraim, que lhe deu Azenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om.
21 E os filhos de Benjamim: Belá, Bequer, Asbel, Gera, Naamã, Eí, Rôs, Mupim, Hupim e Arde.
22 Estes são os filhos de Raquel, que nasceram a Jacó, ao todo catorze almas.
23 E o filho de Dã: Husim.
24 E os filhos de Naftali: Jazeel, Guni, Jezer e Silém.
25 Estes são os filhos de Bila, a qual Labão deu à sua filha Raquel; e deu estes a Jacó; todas as almas foram sete.
26 Todas as almas que vieram com Jacó ao Egito, que saíram dos seus lombos, fora as mulheres dos filhos de Jacó, todas foram sessenta e seis almas.
27 E os filhos de José, que lhe nasceram no Egito, eram duas almas. Todas as almas da casa de Jacó, que vieram ao Egito, eram setenta.
28 E Jacó enviou Judá adiante de si a José, para o encaminhar a Gósen; e chegaram à terra de Gósen.
29 Então José aprontou o seu carro, e subiu ao encontro de Israel, seu pai, a Gósen. E, apresentando-se-lhe, lançou-se ao seu pescoço, e chorou sobre o seu pescoço longo tempo.
30 E Israel disse a José: Morra eu agora, pois já tenho visto o teu rosto, que ainda vives.
31 Depois disse José a seus irmãos, e à casa de seu pai: Eu subirei e anunciarei a Faraó, e lhe direi: Meus irmãos e a casa de meu pai, que estavam na terra de Canaã, vieram a mim!
32 E os homens são pastores de ovelhas, porque são homens de gado, e trouxeram consigo as suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e tudo o que têm.
33 Quando, pois, acontecer que Faraó vos chamar, e disser: Qual é o vosso negócio?
34 Então direis: Teus servos foram homens de gado desde a nossa mocidade até agora, tanto nós como os nossos pais; para que habiteis na terra de Gósen, porque todo o pastor de ovelhas é abominação aos egípcios.
1 And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.
2 And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.
5 Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.
6 And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:
7 His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt, even Jacob and all his sons: Reuben, Jacob's oldest son;
9 And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu 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 woman of Canaan;
11 And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;
12 And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah: but Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
13 And the sons of Issachar: Tola and Puah and Job and Shimron;
14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel;
15 All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.
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 Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Sarah, their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
18 These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah, and Jacob had these sixteen children by her.
19 The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
20 And Joseph had Manasseh and Ephraim in the land of Egypt, by Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On.
21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.
22 All these were the children of Rachel whom Jacob had by her, fourteen persons.
23 And the son of Dan was Hushim.
24 And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and Shillem.
25 These were the children of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, seven persons.
26 All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.
27 And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.
28 Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.
29 And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.
31 And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;
32 And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.
33 Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?
34 You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
