1So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
1ΑΠΑΡΑΣ δὲ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἔθυσε θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ.
2And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.
2εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτός, εἰπών· Ἰακώβ, Ἰακώβ, ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τί ἐστιν;
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.
3ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου· μὴ φοβοῦ καταβῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω σε ἐκεῖ,
4I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
4καὶ ἐγὼ καταβήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναβιβάσω σε εἰς τέλος, καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου.
5Then 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.
5ἀνέστη 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,
6They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.
6καὶ ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν κτῆσιν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, Ἰακὼβ καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ,
7Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.
7υἱοὶ καὶ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, θυγατέρες καὶ θυγατέρες τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἤγαγεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον.
8Now these are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
8Ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τῶν εἰσελθόντων εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἅμα Ἰακὼβ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῶν. Ἰακὼβ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος Ἰακὼβ Ρουβήν.
9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
9υἱοὶ δὲ Ρουβήν· Ἐνὼχ καὶ Φαλλούς, Ἀσρὼν καὶ Χαρμί.
10The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
10υἱοὶ δὲ Συμεών· Ἰεμουὴλ καὶ Ἰαμεὶν καὶ Ἀὼδ καὶ Ἰαχεὶν καὶ Σαὰρ καὶ Σαοὺλ υἱὸς τῆς Χανανίτιδος.
11The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
11υἱοὶ δὲ Λευΐ· Γηρσών, Καὰθ καὶ Μεραρί.
12The 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.
12υἱοὶ δὲ Ἰούδα· Ἢρ καὶ Αὐνὰν καὶ Σηλὼμ καὶ Φαρὲς καὶ Ζαρά· ἀπέθανε δὲ Ἢρ καὶ Αὐνὰν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν· ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Φαρές· Ἐσρὼν καὶ Ἰεμουήλ.
13The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Job, and Shimron.
13υἱοὶ δὲ Ἰσσάχαρ· Θωλὰ καὶ Φουὰ καὶ Ἰασοὺβ καὶ Ζαμβράμ.
14The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
14υἱοὶ δὲ Ζαβουλών· Σερὲδ καὶ Ἀλλὼν καὶ Ἀχοήλ.
15These 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.
15οὗτοι υἱοὶ Λείας, οὓς ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακὼβ ἐν Μεσοποταμίᾳ τῆς Συρίας, καὶ Δείναν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ· πᾶσαι αἱ ψυχαί, υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες, τριάκοντα τρεῖς.
16The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

17The children of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
17υἱοὶ δὲ Ἀσήρ· Ἰεμνά, Ἰεσσουὰ καὶ Ἰεοὺλ καὶ Βαριὰ καὶ Σάρα ἀδελφὴ αὐτῶν. υἱοὶ δὲ Βαριά· Χοβόρ καὶ Μελχιίλ.
18These are the sons of Jacob born to Zilpah—whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.
18οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ζελφᾶς, ἣν ἔδωκε Λάβαν Λείᾳ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἣ ἔτεκε τούτους τῷ Ἰακὼβ δεκαὲξ ψυχάς.
19The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
19υἱοὶ δὲ Ραχὴλ γυναικὸς Ἰακώβ· Ἰωσὴφ καὶ Βενιαμίν.
20Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
20ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἀσεννὲθ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρῆ ἱερέως Ἡλιουπόλεως, τὸν Μανασσῆ καὶ τὸν Ἐφραΐμ. ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ παλλακὴ ἡ Σύρα, τὸν Μαχίρ· Μαχὶρ δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Γαλαάδ. υἱοὶ δὲ Ἐφραΐμ ἀδελφοῦ Μανασσῆ· Σουταλαὰμ καὶ Ταάμ. υἱοὶ δὲ Σουταλαάμ· Ἐδέμ.
21The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
21υἱοὶ δὲ Βενιαμίν· Βαλὰ καὶ Χοβὼρ καὶ Ἀσβήλ· ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Βαλά· Γηρὰ καὶ Νεομὰν καὶ Ἀγχὶς καὶ Ρὼς καὶ Μαμφὶμ καὶ Ὀφιμίν. Γηρὰ δὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἀράδ.
22These are the sons of Rachel born to Jacob—fourteen in all.
22οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ραχήλ, οὓς ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακώβ· πᾶσαι αἱ ψυχαὶ δεκαοκτώ.
23The son of Dan: Hushim.
23υἱοὶ δὲ Δάν· Ἀσόμ.
24The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
24καὶ υἱοὶ Νεφθαλείμ· Ἀσιὴλ καὶ Γωυνὶ καὶ Ἰσσάαρ καὶ Συλλήμ.
25These are the sons of Jacob born to Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.
25οὗτοι υἱοὶ Βαλᾶς, ἣν ἔδωκε Λάβαν Ραχὴλ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἣ ἔτεκε τούτους τῷ Ἰακώβ· πᾶσαι αἱ ψυχαὶ ἑπτά.
26All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons.
26πᾶσαι δέ αἱ ψυχαὶ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτοῦ, χωρὶς τῶν γυναικῶν υἱῶν Ἰακώβ, πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ ἑξηκονταέξ.
27And 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.
27υἱοὶ δὲ Ἰωσὴφ οἱ γενόμενοι αὐτῷ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ψυχαὶ ἐννέα. πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ οἴκου Ἰακὼβ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον ψυχαὶ ἑβδομηκονταπέντε.
28Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When Jacob’s family arrived in the land of Goshen,
28Τὸν δὲ Ἰούδαν ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ συναντῆσαι αὐτῷ καθ᾿ Ἡρώων πόλιν, εἰς γῆν Ραμεσσῆ.
29Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.
29ζεύξας δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν Ἰσραὴλ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καθ᾿ Ἡρώων πόλιν καὶ ὀφθεὶς αὐτῷ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσε κλαυθμῷ πίονι.
30Then Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still alive!”
30καὶ εἶπεν Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσήφ· ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, ἐπεὶ ἑώρακα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου· ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ζῇς.
31Joseph 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.
31εἶπε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ· ἀναβὰς ἀπαγγελῶ τῷ Φαραὼ καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ· οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἥκασι πρός με·
32The men are shepherds; they raise livestock, and they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they own.’
32οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες εἰσὶ ποιμένες· ἄνδρες γὰρ κτηνοτρόφοι ἦσαν· καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἀγηόχασιν.
33When Pharaoh summons you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
33ἐὰν οὖν καλέσῃ ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ καὶ εἴπῃ ὑμῖν· τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν ἐστίν;
34you 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.”
34ἐρεῖτε· 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.
