Genesis 46
1 And Israel, setting out with all that he had, arrived at the Well of the Oath. And sacrificing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quae habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
2 he heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: “Jacob, Jacob.” And he answered him, “Behold, here I am.”
audivit eum per visionem nocte vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
3 God said to him: “I am the most strong God of your father. Do not be afraid. Descend into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Aegyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
4 I will descend with you to that place, and I will lead you back from there, returning. Also, Joseph will place his hands over your eyes.
Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
5 Then Jacob rose up from the Well of the Oath. And his sons took him, with their little ones and wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry the old man,
Surrexit autem Iacob a Puteo iuramenti: tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris quae miserat Pharao ad portandum senem,
6 along with all that he possessed in the land of Canaan. And he arrived in Egypt with all his offspring:
et omnia quae possederat in Terra Chanaan: venitque in Aegyptum cum omni semine suo,
7 his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and all his progeny together.
filii eius, et nepotes, filiae, et cuncta simul progenies.

Cunctae animae, quae ingressae sunt cum Iacob in Aegyptum, et egressae sunt de femore illius, absque uxoribus filiorum eius, sexaginta sex.
27 Now the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in the land of Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who went into Egypt, were seventy.
Filii autem Ioseph, qui nati sunt ei in terra Aegypti, animae duae. Omnes animae domus Iacob, quae ingressae sunt in Aegyptum, fuere septuaginta.
28 Then he sent Judah ahead of himself, to Joseph, in order to report to him, and so that he would meet him in Goshen.
Misit autem Iudam ante se ad Ioseph, ut nunciaret ei, et occurreret in Gessen.
29 And when he had arrived there, Joseph harnessed his chariot, and he went up to meet his father at the same place. And seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and, amid embraces, he wept.
Quo cum pervenisset, iuncto Ioseph curro suo, ascendit obviam patri suo ad eumdem locum: vidensque eum, irruit super collum eius, et inter amplexus flevit.
30 And the father said to Joseph, “Now I will die happy, because I have seen your face, and I am leaving you behind alive.”
Dixitque pater ad Ioseph: Iam laetus moriar, quia vidi faciem tuam, et superstitem te relinquo.
31 And he said to his brothers and to all his father’s house: “I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and I will say to him: ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
At ille locutus est ad fratres suos, et ad omnem domum patris sui: Ascendam, et nunciabo Pharaoni dicamque ei: Fratres mei, et domus patris mei, qui erant in Terra Chanaan, venerunt ad me:
32 And these honorable men are pastors of sheep, and they have the task of feeding the flock. Their cattle, and herds, and all that they were able to hold, they have brought with them.’
et sunt viri pastores ovium, curamque habent alendorum gregum: pecora sua, et armenta, et omnia quae habere potuerunt, adduxerunt secum.
33 And when he will call you and will say, ‘What is your work?’
Cumque vocaverit vos, et dixerit: Quod est opus vestrum?
34 You will respond, ‘Your servants are pastors of honor, from our infancy even to the present time, both we and our fathers.’ Now you will say this so that you may be able to live in the land of Goshen, because the Egyptians detest all pastors of sheep.”
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.
