Genesis

雅各带家属到埃及

1以色列带着一切所有的，起身来到别是巴，就献祭给他父亲以撒的 神。

2夜间， 神在异象中对以色列说：「雅各！雅各！」他说：「我在这里。」

3神说：「我是 神，就是你父亲的 神。你下埃及去不要害怕，因为我必使你在那里成为大族。

4我要和你同下埃及去，也必定带你上来；约瑟必给你送终。」

5雅各就从别是巴起行。以色列的儿子们使他们的父亲雅各和他们的妻子、儿女都坐在法老为雅各送来的车上。

6他们又带着迦南地所得的牲畜、货财来到埃及。雅各和他的一切子孙都一同来了。

7雅各把他的儿子、孙子、女儿、孙女，并他的子子孙孙，一同带到埃及。

雅各和家属在埃及

28雅各打发犹大先去见约瑟，请派人引路往歌珊去；于是他们来到歌珊地。

29约瑟套车往歌珊去，迎接他父亲以色列，及至见了面，就伏在父亲的颈项上，哭了许久。

30以色列对约瑟说：「我既得见你的面，知道你还在，就是死我也甘心。」

31约瑟对他的弟兄和他父的全家说：「我要上去告诉法老，对他说：『我的弟兄和我父的全家从前在迦南地，现今都到我这里来了。

32他们本是牧羊的人，以养牲畜为业；他们把羊群牛群和一切所有的都带来了。』

33等法老召你们的时候，问你们说：『你们以何事为业？』

34你们要说：『你的仆人，从幼年直到如今，都以养牲畜为业，连我们的祖宗也都以此为业。』这样，你们可以住在歌珊地，因为凡牧羊的都被埃及人所厌恶。」

1Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

2God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”

3He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

4I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”

5Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

6They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him,

7his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and he brought all his offspring with him into Egypt.

8These are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.

9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

10The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.

11The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

12The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

13The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Iob, and Shimron.

14The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.

15These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three.

16The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

17The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

18These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls.

19The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin.

20To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

21The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

22These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.

23The son of Dan: Hushim.

24The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.

25These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls were seven.

26All the souls who came with Jacob into Egypt, who were his direct offspring, in addition to Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were sixty-six.

27The sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy.

28Jacob sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.

29Joseph prepared his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. He presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

30Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.”

31Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father’s house, “I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

32These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.’

33It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, ‘What is your occupation?’

34that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”
