   Genesis 46-47   
   Genesis Chapter 46   
      
   1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to   
   Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.   
      
   2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said,   
   Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.   
      
   3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into   
   Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:   
      
   4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee   
   up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.   
      
   5 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: 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 their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in   
   the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:   
      
   7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons'   
   daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.   
      
   8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into   
   Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.   
      
   9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.

   Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.   
      
   11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.   
      
   12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and   
   Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of   
   Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.   
      
   13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.   
      
   14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.   
      
   15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram,   
   with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters   
   were thirty and three.   
      
   16 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and   
   Arodi, and Areli.   
      
   17 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and   
   Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.   
      
   18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter,   
   and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.   
      
   19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.   
      
   20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim,   
   which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.   
      
   21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera,   
   and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.   
      
   22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls   
   were fourteen.   
      
   23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.   
      
   24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.   
      
   25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his   
   daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.   
      
   26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his   
   loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;   
      
   27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls:   
   all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were   
   threescore and ten.   
      
   28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto   
   Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.   
      
   29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his   
   father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his   
   neck, and wept on his neck a good while.   
      
   30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy   
   face, because thou art yet alive.   
      
   31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I   
   will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my   
   father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;   
      
   32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle;   
   and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.   
      
   33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall   
   say, What is your occupation?   
      
   34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from   
   our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may   
   dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto   
   the Egyptians.   
      
   Genesis Chapter 47   
      
   1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my   
   brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are   
   come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.   
      
   2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them   
   unto Pharaoh.   
      
   3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they   
   said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our   
   fathers.   
      
   4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we   
   come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine   
   is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy   
   servants dwell in the land of Goshen.   
      
   5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are   
   come unto thee:   
      
   6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy   
   father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and   
   if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers   
   over my cattle.   
      
   7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh:   
   and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.   
      
   8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?   
      
   9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage   
   are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years   
   of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the   
   life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.   
      
   10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.   
      
   11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a   
   possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of   
   Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.   
      
   12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his   
   father's household, with bread, according to their families.   
      
   13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore,   
   so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason   
   of the famine.   
      
   14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of   
   Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and   
   Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.   
      
   15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of   
   Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for   
   why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.   
      
   16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your   
   cattle, if money fail.   
      
   17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread
