Jēkabs ar visu saimi pārceļas uz Ēģipti
(2Moz 6:14–25)1 Israēls devās ceļā kopā ar visu, kas tam bija, nonāca Bēršebā un upurēja kaujamo upuri sava tēva Īzaka Dievam. 2 Un Dievs teica Israēlam nakts redzējumā: “Jēkab, Jēkab!” Un viņš sacīja: “Es te!” 3 Viņš teica: “Es esmu Dievs, tava tēva Dievs! Nebīsties iet uz Ēģipti, jo es tevi tur darīšu par lielu tautu! 4 Kopā ar tevi es iešu uz Ēģipti, un es tevi atkal atvedīšu atpakaļ! – un Jāzeps vēl uzliks roku taviem plakstiem.” 5 Un Jēkabs devās projām no Bēršebas, un Israēla dēli veda savu tēvu Jēkabu, savus mazuļus un sievas ratos, kurus faraons bija sūtījis, lai viņu atvestu. 6 Un viņi ņēma līdzi arī savus lopus un mantību, ko bija ieguvuši Kanaāna zemē, un viņi nonāca Ēģiptē – Jēkabs un visi viņa pēcnācēji kopā ar viņu, – 7 viņa dēli un viņa dēlu dēli kopā ar viņu, viņa meitas un viņa dēlu meitas. Visus savus pēcnācējus viņš atveda sev līdzi uz Ēģipti.

Jēkabs apmetas Gošenē
28 Jūdu viņš sūtīja sev pa priekšu pie Jāzepa, lai tas rādītu, kur Gošene. Un viņi nonāca Gošenes zemē. 29 Jāzeps sajūdza savus ratus un devās ceļā, lai Gošenē sastaptos ar savu tēvu Israēlu; viņš to ieraudzīja, krita viņam ap kaklu un ļoti raudāja, apķēries viņam ap kaklu. 30 Un Israēls teica Jāzepam: “Tagad es varu mirt – kad esmu redzējis, ka tu vēl esi dzīvs!” 31 Un Jāzeps teica saviem brāļiem un sava tēva namam: “Es došos un stāstīšu faraonam: pie manis ir atnākuši mani brāļi un mana tēva nams, kas dzīvoja Kanaāna zemē! 32 Šie ļaudis ir lopu gani, tie vienmēr bijuši ganāmpulka ļaudis, un tie ir paņēmuši sev līdzi savas avis un vēršus, un visu, kas vien tiem ir! 33 Un, kad faraons jūs sauks un jautās: ko jūs darāt? – 34 tad sakiet: tavi kalpi ir bijuši ganāmpulka ļaudis kopš savas jaunības līdz šim brīdim, gan mēs, gan mūsu tēvi! Tas tādēļ, lai jūs varētu apmesties Gošenes zemē, jo ikviens, kas gana lopus, Ēģiptē skaitās pretīgs!”
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.
