Genesis 46

1 Ἀπᾴρας δὲ Ἰσραὴλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου· καὶ ἔθυσε θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ.

2 Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτὸς, εἰπὼν, Ἰακὼβ, Ἰακώβ· ὁ δὲ εἶπε, τί ἐστιν;

3 Ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτῷ, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου· μὴ φοβοῦ καταβῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω σε ἐκεῖ.

4 Καὶ ἐγὼ καταβήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναβιβάσω σε εἰς τέλος· καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου.

5 Ἀνέστη δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου· καὶ ἀνέλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν, ἐπὶ τὰς ἁμάξας, ἃς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωσὴφ ἆραι αὐτόν.

6 Καὶ ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν κτῆσιν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐκ γῇ Χαναὰν, εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, Ἰακὼβ, καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

7 Υἱοὶ, καὶ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· θυγατέρες, καὶ θυγατέρες τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἤγαγεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον·

8 Ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τῶν εἰσελθόντων εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἅμα Ἰακὼβ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῶν. Ἰακὼβ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος Ἰακὼβ, Ῥουβήν.

18 Οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ζελφᾶς, ἣν ἔδωκε Λάβαν Λείᾳ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἣ ἔτεκε τούτους τῷ Ἰακὼβ, δεκαὲξ ψυχάς.

19 Υἱοὶ δὲ Ῥαχὴλ γυναικὸς Ἰακὼβ, Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ Βενιαμείν.

20 Ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἀσενὲθ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρῆ ἱερέως Ἡλιουπόλεως, τὸν Μανασσῆ, καὶ τὸν Ἐφραίμ· ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ παλλακὴ ἡ Σύρα, τὸν Μαχίρ· Μαχὶρ δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Γαλαάδ· υἱοὶ δὲ Ἐφραὶμ ἀδελφοῦ Μανασσῆ, Σουταλαὰμ, καὶ Ταάμ· υἱοὶ δὲ Σουταλαὰμ, Ἐδώμ.

26 Πᾶσαι δὲ ψυχαὶ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτοῦ, χωρὶς τῶν γυναικῶν υἱῶν Ἰακὼβ, πᾶσαι αἱ ψυχαὶ, ἑξηκονταέξ·

27 Υἱοὶ δὲ Ἰωσὴφ οἱ γενόμενοι αὐτῷ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ψυχαὶ ἐννέα. Πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ οἴκου Ἰακὼβ, αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ψυχαὶ ἑβδομηκονταπέντε.

28 Τὸν δὲ Ἰούδαν ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ, συναντῆσαι αὐτῷ καθʼ Ἡρώων πόλιν, εἰς γῆν Ῥαμεσσῆ.

29 Ζεύξας δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ, ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν Ἰσραὴλ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, καθʼ Ἡρώων πόλιν· καὶ ὀφθεὶς αὐτῷ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔκλαυσε κλαυθμῷ πίονι.

30 Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰσραήλ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ, ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, ἐπεὶ ἑώρακα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου· ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ζῇς.

31 Εἶπε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἀναβὰς ἀπαγγελῶ τῷ Φαραῷ, καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ, οἱ ἀδελφοί μου, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν γῇ χαναὰν, ἥκασι πρός με.

32 Οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες εἰσὶ ποιμένες· ἄνδρες γὰρ κτηνοτρόφοι ἦσαν· καὶ τὰ κτήνη, καὶ τοὺς βόας, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἀγηόχασιν.

33 Ἐὰν οὖν καλέσῃ ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ, καὶ εἴπῃ ὑμῖν, τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν ἐστι;

34 Ἐρεῖτε, ἄνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι ἐσμὲν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐκ παιδὸς ἕως τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἡμεῖς, καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν· ἵνα κατοικήσητε ἐν γῇ Γεσὲμ Ἀραβίας· βδέλυγμα γάρ ἐστιν Αἰγυπτίοις πᾶς ποιμὴν προβάτων.

1 And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.

2 And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?

3 And he says to him, I am the God of thy fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make thee there a great nation.

4 And I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will bring thee up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on thine eyes.

30 And Israel said to Joseph, After this I will gladly die, since I have seen thy face, for thou art yet living.

31 And Joseph said to his brethren, I will go up and tell Pharao, and will say to him, My brethren, and my father's house, who were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me.

32 And the men are shepherds; for they have been feeders of cattle, and they have brought with them their cattle, and their kine, and all their property.

33 If then Pharao call you, and say to you, What is your occupation?

34 Ye shall say, We thy servants are herdsmen from our youth until now, both we and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
