1And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 2And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 3And 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: 4I 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.
5And 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. 6And 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: 7His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

28¶ And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 29And 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. 30And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. 31And 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; 32And 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.46.32 their trade…: Heb. they are men of cattle 33And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 34That 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.
Pumunta si Jacob sa Egipto
1Umalis si Jacob papuntang Egipto kasama ang sambahayan niya na dala ang lahat ng kanyang ari-arian. Pagdating niya sa Beersheba, naghandog siya sa Dios ng ama niyang si Isaac.
2Kinagabihan, nakipag-usap ang Dios sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng isang pangitain. Tinawag ng Dios si Jacob, at sumagot si Jacob sa kanya.
3Pagkatapos, sinabi niya, “Ako ang Dios, na siyang Dios ng iyong ama. Huwag kang matakot pumunta sa Egipto, dahil gagawin ko kayong isang kilalang bansa roon. 4Ako mismo ang kasama mo sa pagpunta sa Egipto at muli kitang ibabalik dito sa Canaan. At kung mamamatay ka na, nandiyan si Jose sa iyong tabi.”
5Pinasakay si Jacob ng mga anak niya sa karwaheng ibinigay ng Faraon para sakyan niya. Pinasakay din nila ang mga asawaʼt anak nila, at lumipat sila mula sa Beersheba. 6-7Dinala nila ang mga hayop at mga ari-ariang naipon nila sa Canaan. Dinala rin ni Jacob sa Egipto ang lahat ng kanyang lahi: ang mga anak niya at mga apo.

28Nang hindi pa sila nakakarating sa Egipto, inutusan ni Jacob si Juda na maunang pumunta kay Jose para ituro sa kanila ang lugar ng Goshen. Nang dumating na sina Jacob sa Goshen, 29sumakay si Jose sa karwahe niya at pumunta roon sa Goshen para salubungin ang kanyang ama. Nang magkita sila, niyakap ni Jose ang kanyang ama at tuloy-tuloy ang pag-iyak niya.
30Sinabi ni Jacob kay Jose, “Ngayon, handa na akong mamatay dahil nakita na kita ng buhay.”
31At sinabi ni Jose sa mga kapatid niya at sa buong sambahayan ng kanyang ama, “Aalis ako at sasabihin sa Faraon na narito na ang mga kapatid ko at ang buong sambahayan ng aking ama na nakatira sa Canaan. 32Sasabihin ko rin sa kanya na nagpapastol kayo ng mga hayop, at dinala ninyo ang mga hayop ninyo at ang lahat ng ari-arian ninyo. 33Kaya kapag ipinatawag niya kayo at itinanong kung ano ang trabaho ninyo, 34sabihin nʼyo na nagpapastol kayo ng mga hayop mula pagkabata katulad ng mga magulang ninyo, para patirahin niya kayo sa Goshen. Sapagkat nasusuklam ang mga Egipcio sa mga nagpapastol ng hayop.”
