Genesis 46:1-27

1So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to 1Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the 2God of his father Isaac. 23God spoke to Israel 4in visions of the night and said, “5Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” 3He said, “6I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will 7make you a great nation there. 48I will go down with you to Egypt, and 9I will also surely bring you up again; and 10Joseph will 11close your eyes.”

5Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the 12wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6They took their livestock and their property, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and 13came to Egypt, Jacob and all his 14descendants with him: 7his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his 15descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

8Now these are the 16names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi. 10The 17sons of Simeon: 18Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and 19Jachin and 20Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. 11The sons of Levi: 21Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12The sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). And the 22sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13The sons of Issachar: Tola and 23Puvvah and 24Iob and Shimron. 14The sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel. 15These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah; 25all his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three. 16The 26sons of Gad: 27Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and 28Ezbon, Eri and 29Arodi and Areli. 17The 30sons of Asher: Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah and their sister Serah. And the 31sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 18These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah; and she bore to Jacob these sixteen persons. 19The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 2032Now to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him. 21The 33sons of Benjamin: Bela and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, 34Ehi and Rosh, 35Muppim and 36Huppim and Ard. 22These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob; there were fourteen persons in all. 23The sons of Dan: 37Hushim. 24The sons of Naphtali: 38Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and 39Shillem. 25These are the 40sons of Bilhah, whom 41Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, and she bore these to Jacob; there were seven persons in all. 2642All the persons belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, 43his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob’s sons, were sixty-six persons in all, 27and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt were 44two; 45all the persons of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.
