Genesis 43:12Take double the silver with you so that you may return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.Genesis 43:13Take your brother as well, and return to the man at once.Genesis 43:14May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother along with Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”Genesis 44:29Now if you also take this one from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’Genesis 45:26“Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.Genesis 45:27However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.Genesis 45:28“Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”Genesis 46:1So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.Genesis 46:2And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.Genesis 46:3“I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.Genesis 46:4I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”Genesis 46:5Then Jacob departed from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and wives.Genesis 46:6They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.Genesis 46:7Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.Genesis 46:8Now these are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.Genesis 46:9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.Genesis 46:10The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.Genesis 46:11The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Genesis 46:12The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.Genesis 46:13The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Job, and Shimron.Genesis 46:14The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.Genesis 46:15These are the sons of Leah born to Jacob in Paddan-aram, in addition to his daughter Dinah. The total number of sons and daughters was thirty-three.Genesis 46:16The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.Genesis 46:17The children of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.Genesis 46:18These are the sons of Jacob born to Zilpah—whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.Genesis 46:19The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.Genesis 46:20Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.Genesis 46:21The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.Genesis 46:22These are the sons of Rachel born to Jacob—fourteen in all.Genesis 46:23The son of Dan: Hushim.Genesis 46:24The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.Genesis 46:25These are the sons of Jacob born to Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.Genesis 46:26All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons.Genesis 46:27And with the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob’s family who went to Egypt were seventy in all.Genesis 46:28Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When Jacob’s family arrived in the land of Goshen,Genesis 46:29Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.Genesis 46:30Then Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still alive!”Genesis 46:31Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and inform Pharaoh: ‘My brothers and my father’s household from the land of Canaan have come to me.Genesis 46:32The men are shepherds; they raise livestock, and they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they own.’Genesis 46:33When Pharaoh summons you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’Genesis 46:34you are to say, ‘Your servants have raised livestock ever since our youth—both we and our fathers.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”Genesis 47:1So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”Genesis 47:2And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.Genesis 47:3“What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”Genesis 47:4Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen.”Genesis 47:5Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,Genesis 47:6the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”Genesis 47:7Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.Genesis 47:8“How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.Genesis 47:9“My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”Genesis 47:10Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.Genesis 47:11So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.Genesis 47:12Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.Genesis 47:27Now the Israelites settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and became fruitful and increased greatly in number.Genesis 47:28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.Genesis 47:29When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise to show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,Genesis 47:30but when I lie down with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me with them.” Joseph answered, “I will do as you have requested.”Genesis 47:31“Swear to me,” Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.Genesis 48:7Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way in the land of Canaan, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).Genesis 48:15Then he blessed Joseph and said: “May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
