Genesis 46:1-34

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.”

Genesis 46:1-34

Jacob Goes Down to Egypt

1So Israel started out with everything that belonged to him. When he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

2God spoke to Israel in a vision at night. “Jacob! Jacob!” he said.

“Here I am,” Jacob replied.

3“I am God. I am the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt. There I will make you into a great nation. 4I will go down to Egypt with you. I will surely bring you back again. And when you die, Joseph will close your eyes with his own hand.”

5Then Jacob left Beersheba. Israel’s sons put their father Jacob and their families in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6So Jacob and his whole family went to Egypt. They took their livestock with them. And they took everything they had acquired in Canaan. 7Jacob brought his sons and grandsons with him to Egypt. He also brought his daughters and granddaughters. He brought his whole family with him.

8Here are the names of Israel’s children and grandchildren who went to Egypt. Jacob and his whole family are included.

Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son.

9The sons of Reuben were

Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.

10The sons of Simeon were

Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul. Shaul was the son of a woman from Canaan.

11The sons of Levi were

16The sons of Gad were

Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.

17The sons of Asher were

18These were the children and grandchildren born to Jacob and Zilpah. Laban had given Zilpah to his daughter Leah. The total number of people in the family line of Jacob and Zilpah was 16.

19The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel were

20In Egypt, Asenath had Manasseh and Ephraim by Joseph. Asenath was the daughter of Potiphera. Potiphera was the priest of On.

25These were the sons and grandsons born to Jacob and Bilhah. Laban had given Bilhah to his daughter Rachel. The total number of people in the family line of Jacob and Bilhah was seven.

26The total number of people who went to Egypt with Jacob was 66. That number includes only his own children and grandchildren. It doesn’t include his sons’ wives or his grandsons’ wives. 27The total number of the members of Jacob’s family who went to Egypt was 70. That includes the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt.

28Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph. He sent him to get directions to Goshen. And so they arrived in the area of Goshen. 29Then Joseph had his servants get his chariot ready. He went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as he came to his father, Joseph threw his arms around him. Then Joseph wept for a long time.

30Israel said to Joseph, “I have seen for myself that you are still alive. Now I’m ready to die.”

31Then Joseph spoke to his brothers and to the rest of his father’s family. He said, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh. I’ll say to him, ‘My brothers and the rest of my father’s family have come to me. They were living in the land of Canaan. 32The men are shepherds. They take care of livestock. They’ve brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’ 33Pharaoh will send for you. He’ll ask, ‘What do you do for a living?’ 34You should answer, ‘We’ve taken care of livestock from the time we were boys. We’ve done just as our fathers did.’ It’s the practice of the people of Egypt not to mix with shepherds. So Pharaoh will let you settle in the area of Goshen.”
