MLV(i)
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am.
3 And he said, I am God, the God of your father. Do not fear to go down into Egypt, because I will there make of you a great nation.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt and I will also surely bring you up again and Joseph will put his hand upon your eyes.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father and their little ones and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 And they took up their goods and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, they came into the land of Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him: 7 the sons and the sons of his sons with him, his daughters and the daughters of his daughters. And he brought all his seed into Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn. 9 And the sons of Reuben were : Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi. 10 And the sons of Simeon were : Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 And the sons of Levi were : Gershon, Kohath and Merari. 12 And the sons of Judah were : Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah.

And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 And the sons of Issachar were : Tola and Puvah and Job and Shimron. 14 And the sons of Zebulun were : Sered and Elon and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three.
16 And the sons of Gad were : Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri and Arodi and Areli. 17 And the sons of Asher were : Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah and Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah were : Heber and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls.
19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife were : Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah priest of On, bore to him. 21 And the sons of Benjamin were : Bela and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.

26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were sixty-six. 27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were seventy.
28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 And Joseph made his chariot ready and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen. And he presented himself to him and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while. 30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are yet alive.
31 And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's house, I will go up and tell Pharaoh and will say to him, My brothers and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 And the men are shepherds, because they have been keepers of cattle and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.
33 And it will happen, when Pharaoh will call you* and will say, What is your* occupation? 34 that you* will say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers, that you* may dwell in the land of Goshen, because every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
