Genesis 46

1So IsraelH3478 set outH5265 with allH3605 thatH834 he had, and when he cameH935 toH884 BeershebaH884, he offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 to the GodH430 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327. 2And that nightH3915 GodH430 spokeH559 to IsraelH3478 in a visionH4759: “JacobH3290, JacobH3290!” He saidH559.

“Here I amH2009,” replied JacobH559.

3“IH595 am GodH410,” He saidH559, “the GodH430 of your fatherH1. Do notH408 be afraidH3372 to go downH3381 to EgyptH4714, forH3588 I will makeH7760 you into a greatH1419 nationH1471 thereH8033. 4IH595 will go downH3381 withH5973 you to EgyptH4714, and IH595 will surelyH1571H5927 bring you backH5927. And Joseph’sH3130 own handsH3027 will closeH7896H5921 your eyesH5869.”

5Then JacobH3290 departedH6965 fromH884 BeershebaH884, and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 tookH5375 their fatherH1 JacobH3290 in the wagonsH5699 PharaohH6547 had sentH7971 to carry himH5375, along with their childrenH2945 and wivesH802. 6They also tookH3947 the livestockH4735 and possessionsH7399 they had acquiredH7408 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and JacobH3290 and allH3605 his offspringH2233 wentH935 to EgyptH4714.

Jacob Arrives in Egypt

Now Jacob had sentH7971 JudahH3063 ahead of himH6440 toH413 JosephH3130 to get directionsH3384H6440 to GoshenH1657. When Jacob’s family arrivedH935 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, 29JosephH3130 preparedH631 his chariotH4818 and wentH5927 there to meetH7122 his fatherH1 IsraelH3478. Joseph presented himselfH7200 to himH413, embracedH5307H5921 himH6677, and weptH1058H5921H6677 profuselyH5750.

30Then IsraelH3478 saidH559 toH413 JosephH3130, “Finally I can dieH4191, nowH6471H310 that I have seenH7200 your faceH6440 and know thatH3588 you are stillH5750 aliveH2416!”

31JosephH3130 saidH559 toH413 his brothersH251 and toH413 his father’sH1 householdH1004, “I will go upH5927 and informH5046 PharaohH6547: ‘My brothersH251 and my father’sH1 householdH1004 from the landH776 of CanaanH3667 have comeH935 to meH413. 32The menH582 are shepherdsH7462H6629; they raise livestockH4735H1961, and they have broughtH935 their flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 and allH3605 thatH834 they own.’

33

WhenH3588 PharaohH6547 summonsH7121 you and asksH559, ‘WhatH4100 is your occupationH4639?’ 34you are to sayH559, ‘Your servantsH5650H582 have raised livestockH4735H1961 ever since our youthH5271H5704H6258—bothH1571 weH587 andH1571 our fathersH1.’ ThenH5668 you will be allowed to settleH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, sinceH3588 allH3605 shepherdsH7462H6629 are detestableH8441 to the EgyptiansH4713.”
