1 Tedy bral se Izrael se vším, což měl; a přišed do Bersabé, obětoval oběti Bohu otce svého Izáka.

2 I mluvil Bůh Izraelovi u vidění nočním, řka: Jákobe, Jákobe! Kterýžto odpověděl: Aj, teď jsem.

3 I řekl: Já jsem ten Bůh silný, Bůh otce tvého. Neboj se sstoupiti do Egypta, nebo v národ veliký tam tebe učiním.

4 Já sstoupím s tebou do Egypta, a já tě také i zase přivedu; a Jozef položí ruku svou na oči tvé.

5 Vstal tedy Jákob z Bersabé; a synové Izraelovi vzali Jákoba otce svého, a děti své s ženami svými na vozy, kteréž poslal pro něho Farao.

6 Pobrali také dobytek svůj, a zboží své, kteréhož nabyli v zemi Kananejské; a přišli do Egypta, Jákob i všecko símě jeho s ním.

7 Syny i vnuky, dcery i vnučky své, a všecku rodinu svou uvedl s sebou do Egypta.

8 A tato jsou jména synů Izraelových, kteříž vešli do Egypta: Jákob a synové jeho. Prvorozený Jákobův Ruben.

9 A synové Rubenovi: Enoch, Fallu, Ezron a Charmi.

10 Synové pak Simeonovi: Jamuel, Jamin, Ahod, Jachin, Sohar a Saul, syn jedné ženy Kananejské.

11 Synové Léví: Gerson, Kahat a Merari.

12 Synové Judovi: Her, Onan, Séla, Fáres a Zára. (Ale umřel Her a Onan v zemi Kananejské.) Fáres pak měl syny: Ezrona a Hamule.

13 Synové Izacharovi: Tola, Fua, Job a Simron.

14 A synové Zabulonovi: Sared, Elon a Jahelel.

15 Tiť jsou synové Líe, kteréž porodila Jákobovi v Pádan Syrské, a Dínu, dceru jeho. Všech duší synů i dcer jeho bylo třidceti a tři.

16 Synové Gád: Sefon, Aggi, Suni, Esebon, Heri, Arodi a Areli.

17 Synové Asser: Jemna, Jesua, Jesui, Beria, a Serach sestra jejich. Synové pak Beriovi: Heber a Melchiel.

18 To jsou synové Zelfy, kterouž Lában dal Líe dceři své; a ty porodila Jákobovi, šestnácte duší.

19 Synové pak Ráchel, manželky Jákobovy: Jozef a Beniamin.

20 A Jozefovi narodili se v zemi Egyptské z Asenat, dcery Putifera knížete On, Manasses a Efraim.

21 Ale synové Beniaminovi: Béla, Becher, Asbel, Gera, Náman, Echi, Roz, Mufim, Chuppim a Ared.

22 Tiť jsou synové Ráchel, kteréž porodila Jákobovi; všech duší čtrnáct.

23 A syn Danův: Chusim.

24 Synové pak Neftalím: Jaziel, Guni, Jezer a Sallem.

25 Ti jsou synové Bály, kterouž Lában dal Ráchel dceři své, a ty porodila Jákobovi; všech duší sedm.

26 Všech duší, kteréž vešly s Jákobem do Egypta, což jich pošlo z bedr jeho, kromě žen synů Jákobových, všech duší bylo šedesáte a šest.

27 K tomu synové Jozefovi, kteříž se jemu narodili v Egyptě, dva. A tak všech duší domu Jákobova, kteréž vešly do Egypta, bylo sedmdesáte.

28 Poslal pak Judu napřed k Jozefovi, aby oznámil jemu prvé, než přišel do Gesen. A tak přišli do země Gesen.

29 Jozef pak zapřáh do svého vozu, vyjel vstříc Izraelovi otci svému do Gesen; a jakž ho Jákob uzřel, padl na jeho šíji, a plakal dlouho na šíji jeho.

30 I řekl Izrael Jozefovi: Nechť již umru, když jsem viděl tvář tvou; nebo ty ještě jsi živ.

31 Jozef pak řekl bratřím svým a domu otce svého: Pojedu a zvěstuji Faraonovi, a dím jemu: Bratří moji a dům otce mého, kteříž bydlili v zemi Kananejské, přišli ke mně.

32 Ale jsou pastýři stáda, nebo s dobytkem se obírají; protož ovce své a voly, i cožkoli mají, přihnali.

33 A když by povolal vás Farao, a řekl:Jaký jest obchod váš?

34 Odpovíte: Dobytkem se živili služebníci tvoji od mladosti své až do této chvíle, i my i otcové naši; abyste bydlili v zemi Gesen; nebo v mrzkosti mají Egyptští všecky pastýře stáda.

1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, 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 Beer-sheba: 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, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born. 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 Canaanitish woman. 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 died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, and Shimron. 14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob in Paddan-aram, 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: Imnah, and Ishvah, and Ishvi, 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, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare unto him. 21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who 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, whom Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. 26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were threescore and six; 27 and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to show the way before him 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 he presented himself unto him, and 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, that thou art yet alive. 31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of 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 have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
