Genesis 46
1 So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
Israel zog hin mit allem, was er hatte. Und da er gen Beer-Seba kam, opferte er dem Gott seines Vaters Isaak.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Und Gott sprach zu ihm des Nachts im Gesicht: Jakob, Jakob! Er sprach: Hier bin ich.
3 God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
Und er sprach: Ich bin Gott, der Gott deines Vaters; fürchte dich nicht, nach Ägypten hinabzuziehen, denn daselbst will ich dich zum großen Volk machen.
4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
Ich will mit dir hinab nach Ägypten ziehen und will dich auch wieder heraufführen; und Joseph soll seine Hände auf deine Augen legen.
5 Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
Da machte sich Jakob auf von Beer-Seba; und die Kinder Israels führten Jakob, ihren Vater, mit ihren Kindlein und Weibern auf den Wagen, die Pharao gesandt hatte, ihn zu führen,
6 So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
und nahmen ihr Vieh und ihre Habe, die sie im Lande Kanaan erworben hatten, und kamen also nach Ägypten, Jakob und all sein Same mit ihm,
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
seine Söhne und seine Kindessöhne mit ihm, seine Töchter und seine Kindestöchter und all sein Same; die brachte er mit sich nach Ägypten.

27 Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
Und die Kinder Josephs, die in Ägypten geboren sind, waren zwei Seelen, also daß alle Seelen des Hauses Jakobs, die nach Ägypten kamen, waren siebzig.
28 Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
Und er sandte Juda vor sich hin zu Joseph, das dieser ihn anwiese zu Gosen; und sie kamen in das Land Gosen.
29 Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
Da spannte Joseph seinen Wagen an und zog hinauf, seinem Vater Israel entgegen, nach Gosen. Und da er ihn sah, fiel er ihm um den Hals und weinte lange an seinem Halse.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Da sprach Israel zu Joseph: Ich will nun gerne sterben, nachdem ich dein Angesicht gesehen habe, daß du noch lebst.
31 Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
Joseph sprach zu seinen Brüdern und seines Vaters Hause: Ich will hinaufziehen und Pharao ansagen und zu ihm sprechen: Meine Brüder und meines Vaters Haus sind zu mir gekommen aus dem Lande Kanaan,
32 The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
und sind Viehhirten, denn es sind Leute, die mit Vieh umgehen; Ihr kleines und großes Vieh und alles, was sie haben, haben sie mitgebracht.
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Wenn euch nun Pharao wird rufen und sagen: Was ist eure Nahrung?
34 answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
so sollt ihr sagen: Deine Knechte sind Leute, die mit Vieh umgehen, von unsrer Jugend auf bis her, beide, wir und unsre Väter, auf daß ihr wohnen möget im Lande Gosen. Denn was Viehhirten sind, das ist den Ägyptern ein Greuel.
