* And Israel took his journey with all that he had , and came to Beersheba , and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac . * And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night , and said , Jacob , Jacob . And he said , Here am I . * 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 : * 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 . * And Jacob rose up from Beersheba : 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 . * 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 : * His sons , and his sons ' sons with him , his daughters , and his sons ' daughters , and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt . * And these are the names of the children of Israel , which came into Egypt , Jacob and his sons : Reuben , Jacob 's firstborn . * And the sons of Reuben ; Hanoch , and Phallu , and Hezron , and Carmi . * And the sons of Simeon ; Jemuel , and Jamin , and Ohad , and Jachin , and Zohar , and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman . * And the sons of Levi ; Gershon , Kohath , and Merari . * And the sons of Judah ; Er , and Onan , and Shelah , and Pharez , and Zerah : but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan . And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul . * And the sons of Issachar ; Tola , and Phuvah , and Job , and Shimron . * And the sons of Zebulun ; Sered , and Elon , and Jahleel . * These be the sons of Leah , which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram , with his daughter Dinah : all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three . * And the sons of Gad ; Ziphion , and Haggi , Shuni , and Ezbon , Eri , and Arodi , and Areli . * And the sons of Asher ; Jimnah , and Ishuah , and Isui , and Beriah , and Serah their sister : and the sons of Beriah ; Heber , and Malchiel . * These are the sons of Zilpah , whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter , and these she bare unto Jacob , even sixteen souls . * The sons of Rachel Jacob 's wife ; Joseph , and Benjamin . * And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim , which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him . * And the sons of Benjamin were Belah , and Becher , and Ashbel , Gera , and Naaman , Ehi , and Rosh , Muppim , and Huppim , and Ard . * These are the sons of Rachel , which were born to Jacob : all the souls were fourteen . * And the sons of Dan ; Hushim . * And the sons of Naphtali ; Jahzeel , and Guni , and Jezer , and Shillem . * These are the sons of Bilhah , which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter , and she bare these unto Jacob : all the souls were seven . * All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt , which came out of his loins , besides Jacob 's sons ' wives , all the souls were threescore and six ; * And the sons of Joseph , which were born him in Egypt , were two souls : all the souls of the house of Jacob , which came into Egypt , were threescore and ten . * And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph , to direct his face unto Goshen ; and they came into the land of Goshen . * And Joseph made ready his chariot , and went up to meet Israel his father , to Goshen , and presented himself unto him ; and he fell on his neck , and wept on his neck a good while . * And Israel said unto Joseph , Now let me die , since I have seen thy face , because thou art yet alive . * And Joseph said unto his brethren , and unto his father 's house , I will go up , and shew Pharaoh , and say unto him , My brethren , and my father 's house , which were in the land of Canaan , are come unto me ; * And the men are shepherds , for their trade hath been to feed cattle ; and they have brought their flocks , and their herds , and all that they have . * And it shall come to pass , when Pharaoh shall call you , and shall say , What is your occupation ? * That ye shall say , Thy servants ' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now , both we , and also our fathers : that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen ; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians .
