Genesis 46
1 So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
profectusque Israhel cum omnibus quae habebat venit ad puteum Iuramenti et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac
2 And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.
audivit eum per visionem nocte vocantem se et dicentem sibi Iacob Iacob cui respondit ecce adsum
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.
ait illi Deus ego sum Fortissimus Deus patris tui noli timere et descende in Aegyptum quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
ego descendam tecum illuc et ego inde adducam te revertentem Ioseph quoque ponet manum suam super oculos tuos
5 Then 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.
surrexit Iacob a puteo Iuramenti tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris quae miserat Pharao ad portandum senem
6 They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.
et omnia quae possederat in terra Chanaan venitque in Aegyptum cum omni semine suo
7 Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.
filii eius et nepotes filiae et cuncta simul progenies
8 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
haec sunt autem nomina filiorum Israhel qui ingressi sunt in Aegyptum ipse cum liberis suis primogenitus Ruben
9 The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
filii Ruben Enoch et Phallu et Esrom et Charmi
10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.

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

12 The 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.

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

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

15 These 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.

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

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

18 These are the sons of Jacob born to Zilpah—whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.
hii filii Zelphae quam dedit Laban Liae filiae suae et hos genuit Iacob sedecim animas
19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
filii Rahel uxoris Iacob Ioseph et Beniamin
20 Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
natique sunt Ioseph filii in terra Aegypti quos genuit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos Manasses et Ephraim
21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

22 These are the sons of Rachel born to Jacob—fourteen in all.

23 The son of Dan: Hushim.
filii Dan Usim
24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
filii Nepthalim Iasihel et Guni et Hieser et Sallem
25 These are the sons of Jacob born to Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.
hii filii Balae quam dedit Laban Raheli filiae suae et hos genuit Iacob omnes animae septem
26 All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons.
cunctae animae quae ingressae sunt cum Iacob in Aegyptum et egressae de femore illius absque uxoribus filiorum sexaginta sex
27 And 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.
filii autem Ioseph qui nati sunt ei in terra Aegypti animae duae omnis anima domus Iacob quae ingressa est Aegyptum fuere septuaginta
28 Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When Jacob’s family arrived in the land of Goshen,
misit autem Iudam ante se ad Ioseph ut nuntiaret ei et ille occurreret in Gessen
29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.
quo cum pervenisset iuncto Ioseph curru suo ascendit obviam patri ad eundem locum vidensque eum inruit super collum eius et inter amplexus flevit
30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still alive!”
dixitque pater ad Ioseph iam laetus moriar quia vidi faciem tuam et superstitem te relinquo
31 Joseph 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.
et ille locutus est ad fratres et ad omnem domum patris sui ascendam et nuntiabo Pharaoni dicamque ei fratres mei et domus patris mei qui erant in terra Chanaan venerunt ad me
32 The men are shepherds; they raise livestock, and they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they own.’
et sunt viri pastores ovium curamque habent alendorum gregum pecora sua et armenta et omnia quae habere potuerunt adduxerunt secum
33 When Pharaoh summons you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
cumque vocaverit vos et dixerit quod est opus vestrum
34 you 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.”
respondebitis viri pastores sumus servi tui ab infantia nostra usque in praesens et nos et patres nostri haec autem dicetis ut habitare possitis in terra Gessen quia detestantur Aegyptii omnes pastores ovium
