01:046:001 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father
Isaac.
01:046:002 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and
said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
01:046:003 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:
01:046:004 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.
01:046:005 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.
01:046:006 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:
01:046:007 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his
sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into
Egypt.
01:046:008 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came
into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
01:046:009 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and
Carmi.
01:046:010 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
01:046:011 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
01:046:012 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez,
and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the
sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
01:046:013 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and
Shimron.
01:046:014 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
01:046:015 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.
01:046:016 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon,
Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
01:046:017 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and
Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber,
and Malchiel.
01:046:018 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his
daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
01:046:019 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
01:046:020 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.
01:046:021 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel,
Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
01:046:022 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all
the souls were fourteen.
01:046:023 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
01:046:024 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and
Shillem.
01:046:025 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his
daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were
seven.
01:046:026 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;
01:046:027 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.
01:046:028 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face
unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
01:046:029 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.
01:046:030 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen
thy face, because thou art yet alive.
01:046:031 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;
01:046:032 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.
01:046:033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and
shall say, What is your occupation?
01:046:034 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.
01:047:001 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.
01:047:002 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented
them unto Pharaoh.
01:047:003 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.
01:047:004 They said morever 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.
01:047:005 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy
brethren are come unto thee:
01:047:006 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.
01:047:007 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before
Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
01:047:008 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
01:047:009 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.
01:047:010 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
01:047:011 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.
01:047:012 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his
father's household, with bread, according to their families.
01:047:013 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.
01:047:014 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.
01:047:015 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.
01:047:016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for
your cattle, if money fail.
01:047:017 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave
them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for
the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them
with bread for all their cattle for that year.
01:047:018 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year,
and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that
our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle;
there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our
bodies, and our lands:
01:047:019 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our
land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will
be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live,
and not die, that the land be not desolate.
01:047:020 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the
Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine
prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
01:047:021 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end
of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
01:047:022 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests
had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their
portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their
lands.
01:047:023 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you
this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you,
and ye shall sow the land.
01:047:024 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give
the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own,
for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your
households, and for food for your little ones.
01:047:025 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in
the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
01:047:026 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day,
that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of
the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
01:047:027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of
Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and
multiplied exceedingly.
01:047:028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the
whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
01:047:029 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his
son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in
thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal
kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
01:047:030 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of
Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will
do as thou hast said.
01:047:031 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel
bowed himself upon the bed's head.
01:048:001 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph,
Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons,
Manasseh and Ephraim.
01:048:002 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh
unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the
bed.
01:048:003 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at
Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
01:048:004 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and
multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people;
and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an
everlasting possession.
01:048:005 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born
unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into
Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
01:048:006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be
thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in
their inheritance.
01:048:007 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in
the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little
way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of
Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
01:048:008 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
01:048:009 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God
hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray
thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
01:048:010 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not
see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them,
and embraced them.
01:048:011 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy
face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
01:048:012 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he
bowed himself with his face to the earth.
01:048:013 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward
Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward
Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
01:048:014 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon
Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon
Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was
the firstborn.
01:048:015 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life
long unto this day,
01:048:016 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and
let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers
Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the
midst of the earth.
01:048:017 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon
the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his
father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto
Manasseh's head.
01:048:018 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this
is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
01:048:019 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know
it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great:
but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and
his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
01:048:020 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel
bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and
he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
01:048:021 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be
with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
01:048:022 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren,
which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and
with my bow.
