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, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, 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 Pharez, and Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
13 ¶ And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
14 ¶ And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-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; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, 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, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
21 ¶ And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, which 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, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. 26 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; 27 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.
28 ¶ And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face 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 presented himself unto him; and he 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, because thou art yet alive. 31 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; 32 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. 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’ 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.
1 Un Israēls devās ceļā ar visu, kas tam bija, un nonāca Bēršebā; un viņš upurēja kaujamos upurus sava tēva Īzāka Dievam. 2 Un Dievs runāja ar Israēlu parādībā naktī un sauca: "Jēkab, Jēkab!" Un viņš teica: "Te es esmu." 3 Un Viņš sacīja: "Es esmu Dievs, tava tēva Dievs, nebīsties noiet uz Ēģipti, jo Es tevi darīšu par lielu tautu. 4 Un Es iešu kopā ar tevi uz Ēģipti, un Es tevi atkal vezdams atvedīšu atpakaļ, un Jāzeps ar savu roku aizspiedīs tavas acis." 5 Tad Jēkabs cēlās no Bēršebas, un Israēla bērni veda Jēkabu, savu tēvu, un savus mazos bērnus un savas sievas ratos, kurus faraons bija sūtījis, lai tos atvestu. 6 Un tie paņēma savus ganāmpulkus un savu mantību, ko tie Kānaāna zemē bija ieguvuši, un tie devās uz Ēģipti - Jēkabs ar saviem pēcnācējiem. 7 Viņa dēli un viņa dēlu dēli bija kopā ar viņu, arī viņa meitas un viņa mazmeitas, un viss viņa dzimums. Viņš tos veda sev līdzi uz Ēģipti. 8 Un šie ir Israēla bērnu vārdi, kas pārcēlās uz Ēģipti, Jēkabs un viņa dēli: Rūbens, Jēkaba pirmdzimtais. 9 Rūbena dēli: Hanohs, Pallus, Hecrons un Karmijs. 10 Simeona dēli: Jemuēls, Jamīns, Ohads, Jahīns un Cohars un kānaānietes dēls Sauls. 11 Levija dēli: Geršons, Kohats un Merārijs. 12 Jūdas dēli: Gers, Onans, Šela, Perecs un Zerahs, bet Gers un Onans nomira Kānaānā. Bet Pereca dēli bija: Hecrons un Hamuls. 13 Isašara dēli: Tola, Pūva, Jobs un Šimrons. 14 Zebulona dēli: Sereds, Elons un Jahleēls. 15 Šie ir Leas bērni, kurus tā dzemdēja Jēkabam, Mezopotāmijā esot, kā arī meita Dīna; visi viņa dēli un viņa meitas; kopā trīsdesmit trīs dzīvas dvēseles. 16 Gada dēli: Cipons, Hagijs, Šunijs, Ecbons, Herijs, Arodijs un Arelijs. 17 Un Ašera dēli: Jimna un Jišva, Jišvijs, Berija, kā arī Sāra, to māsa. Un Berijas dēli: Hebers un Malkiēls. 18 Tie ir Zilfas dēli, kuru Lābans bija devis savai meitai Leai. Viņa dzemdēja Jēkabam sešpadsmit dvēseles. 19 Jēkaba sievas Rahēles dēli: Jāzeps un Benjamīns. 20 Un Jāzepam Ēģiptes zemē dzima dēli: Manase un Efraims. Tie piedzima no Onas priestera Potifara meitas Asnātes. 21 Benjamīna dēli: Bela, Bekers, Ašbels, Gera, Naamans, Ēhijs, Rošs, Mupims, Hupims un Ards. 22 Tie ir Rahēles bērni, kurus tā dzemdēja Jēkabam, kopā četrpadsmit dvēseles. 23 Dana dēls bija Hušims. 24 Naftaļa dēli: Jahceēls, Gunijs, Jecers un Šilems. 25 Tie ir Bilhas dēli, kuru Lābans bija devis savai meitai Rahēlei, un tā dzemdēja tos Jēkabam, kopā septiņas dvēseles. 26 Un visi, kas kopā ar Jēkabu pārcēlās uz Ēģipti; Jēkaba pēcnācēji, viņa dēlu sievas atskaitot, pavisam bija sešdesmit sešas dvēseles. 27 Un Jāzepa dēli, kas viņam dzima Ēģiptē, bija divas dvēseles. Un visa Jēkaba nama dvēseļu skaits, kas nogāja uz Ēģipti, bija septiņdesmit. 28 Bet Jūdu viņš sūtīja savā priekšā pie Jāzepa, lai saņemtu norādītās vietas Gošenē pirms viņa ierašanās. Kad viņi nonāca Gošenē, 29 tad Jāzeps lika sagatavot pajūgu un devās Israēlam pretī uz Gošeni. To ieraudzījis, tas krita viņam ap kaklu un ilgi raudāja pie viņa krūts. 30 Un Israēls sacīja Jāzepam: "Tagad labprāt gribu mirt, jo esmu tevi redzējis un zinu, ka tu vēl esi dzīvs." 31 Un Jāzeps sacīja saviem brāļiem un sava tēva saimei: "Es iešu un paziņošu faraonam: mani brāļi un mans tēvs, kas mita Kānaāna zemē, ir atnākuši pie manis. 32 Un tie vīri ir avju gani; viņi ir ļaudis ar ganāmpulkiem un ir atveduši savus sīklopus un savus liellopus un visu, kas tiem pieder. 33 Kad nu faraons jūs liks saukt un prasīs: kāda ir jūsu nodarbošanās, - 34 tad atbildiet: tavi kalpi no mazām dienām ir lopkopji, mēs un arī mūsu tēvi, līdz šai dienai, - lai jūs varētu dzīvot Gošenē, jo ēģiptiešiem avju gani ir nicināmi."
