Genesis 46
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Nagpunta sa Egipto ang Sambahayan ni Jacob
46 Naglakbay nga si Israel, dala ang lahat niyang ari-arian. Pagdating sa Beer-seba, naghandog siya sa Diyos ng kanyang amang si Isaac. 2 Pagsapit ng gabi, tinawag siya ng Diyos sa isang pangitain, “Jacob, Jacob!”
“Narito po ako,” sagot niya.
3 “Ako ang Diyos, ang Diyos ng iyong ama,” sabi sa kanya. “Huwag kang matakot na pumunta sa Egipto. Doon, ang lahi mo'y magiging isang malaking bansa. 4 Sasamahan ko kayo roon at ibabalik muli rito. Nasa piling mo si Jose kapag ikaw ay namatay.”
5 Mula sa Beer-seba'y naglakbay si Jacob. Siya, at ang kanyang mga apo at mga manugang ay isinakay ng kanyang mga anak sa mga karwaheng ipinadala ng Faraon. 6 Dinala(A) rin nila sa Egipto ang kanilang mga kawan at kagamitan mula sa Canaan. Kasama nga niya 7 ang kanyang mga anak, mga manugang at mga apo.
8 Ito ang talaan ng lahi ni Israel na nagpunta sa Egipto—si Jacob at ang kanyang mga anak at mga apo: si Ruben na kanyang panganay 9 at ang mga anak nitong sina Enoc, Fallu, Hezron at Carmi; 10 si Simeon at ang mga anak nitong sina Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jaquin, Zohar at si Saul na anak ng babaing taga-Canaan. 11 Si Levi at ang mga anak nitong sina Gershon, Coat at Merari; 12 si Juda at ang mga anak nitong sina Sela, Fares at Zara. Si Er at Onan ay namatay sa Canaan. Ang mga anak ni Fares na sina Hezron at Hamul. 13 Si Isacar at ang mga anak nitong sina Tola, Pua, Job at Simron. 14 Si Zebulun at ang mga anak nitong sina Sered, Elon at Jahleel. 15 Ito ang mga anak at apo ni Jacob kay Lea na pawang ipinanganak sa Mesopotamia. Kabilang dito si Dina, ang anak na dalaga ni Jacob. Tatlumpu't tatlo silang lahat.
16 Kasama rin dito si Gad at ang mga anak nito na sina Zifion, Hagui, Suni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi at Areli; 17 si Asher at ang mga anak nitong sina Jimna, Isua, Isui, Beria at ang babaing kapatid nilang si Sera. Ang mga anak ni Beria ay sina Heber at Malquiel. 18 Ang mga anak at mga apo ni Jacob kay Zilpa, ang aliping ibinigay ni Laban kay Lea, ay labing-anim.
19 Kabilang din sa talaang ito ang mga anak at mga apo ni Jacob kay Raquel: sina Jose at Benjamin; 20 sina(B) Manases at Efraim, mga anak ni Jose kay Asenat na anak ni Potifera na pari sa Heliopolis. Ang dalawang ito'y sa Egipto isinilang. 21 Ang mga anak ni Benjamin ay sina Bela, Bequer, Asbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Ros, Mupim, Hupim at Ard. 22 Labing-apat ang mga anak at mga apo ni Jacob kay Raquel.
23 Kabilang pa rin dito si Dan at ang bugtong niyang anak na si Husim; at 24 si Neftali at ang mga anak nitong sina Jahzeel, Guni, Jeser at Silem. 25 Pito ang mga anak at mga apo ni Jacob kay Bilha, ang aliping ibinigay ni Laban kay Raquel.
26 Animnapu't anim ang mga anak at mga apo ni Jacob na nagpunta sa Egipto. Hindi kabilang dito ang kanyang mga manugang. 27 Dalawa(C) ang naging anak ni Jose sa Egipto, kaya ang kabuuang bilang ng sambahayan ni Jacob na natipon doon ay pitumpu.
Si Jacob at ang Kanyang Sambahayan sa Egipto
28 Si Juda ang isinugo ni Israel kay Jose upang siya'y salubungin. 29 Dali-daling ipinahanda ni Jose ang sasakyan niya at sinalubong ang kanyang ama sa Goshen. Nang sila'y magkita, agad niyang niyakap ang kanyang ama, at matagal na umiyak. 30 Sinabi naman ni Israel, “Ngayo'y handa na akong mamatay sapagkat nakita na kitang buháy.”
31 Sinabi ni Jose sa kanyang mga kapatid at sa buong sambahayan ni Jacob, “Ibabalita ko sa Faraon na dumating na kayo buhat sa Canaan. 32 Sasabihin kong kayo'y mga pastol; dala ninyo ang inyong mga kawan, at lahat ninyong ari-arian. 33 Kung ipatawag kayo ng Faraon at tanungin kung ano ang inyong gawain, 34 sabihin ninyong kayo'y nag-aalaga na ng mga baka buhat sa pagkabata, tulad ng inyong mga ninuno. Sa gayon, maaari kayong manirahan sa lupaing ito.” Sinabi niya ito sapagkat ang mga taga-Egipto'y namumuhi sa mga pastol.

New King James Version
Jacob’s Journey to Egypt(A)
46 So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to (B)Beersheba, and offered sacrifices (C)to the God of his father Isaac. 2 Then God spoke to Israel (D)in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
3 So He said, “I am God, (E)the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will (F)make of you a great nation there. 4 (G)I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely (H)bring you up again; and (I)Joseph [a]will put his hand on your eyes.”
5 Then (J)Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the [b]carts (K)which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, (L)Jacob and all his descendants with him. 7 His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.
8 Now (M)these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: (N)Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn. 9 The (O)sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 (P)The sons of Simeon were [c]Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, [d]Jachin, [e]Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of (Q)Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of (R)Judah were (S)Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). (T)The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar were Tola, [f]Puvah, [g]Job, and Shimron. 14 The (U)sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These were the (V)sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three.
16 The sons of Gad were [h]Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, [i]Ezbon, Eri, [j]Arodi, and Areli. 17 (W)The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel. 18 (X)These were the sons of Zilpah, (Y)whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.
19 The (Z)sons of Rachel, (AA)Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin. 20 (AB)And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 21 (AC)The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, (AD)Ehi, Rosh, (AE)Muppim, [k]Huppim, and Ard. 22 These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in all.
23 The son of Dan was [l]Hushim. 24 (AF)The sons of Naphtali were [m]Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and [n]Shillem. 25 (AG)These were the sons of Bilhah, (AH)whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: seven persons in all.
26 (AI)All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came from his body, (AJ)besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. (AK)All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.
Jacob Settles in Goshen
28 Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, (AL)to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came (AM)to the land of Goshen. 29 So Joseph made ready his (AN)chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and (AO)fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, (AP)“Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive.”
31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, (AQ)“I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 And the men are (AR)shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.’ 33 So it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, (AS)‘What is your occupation?’ 34 that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ (AT)occupation has been with livestock (AU)from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is (AV)an[o] abomination to the Egyptians.”

Joseph Brings His Family to Egypt
46 So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to (A)Beersheba, and offered sacrifices (B)to the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spoke to Israel (C)in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” 3 Then he said, “I am God, (D)the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will (E)make you into a great nation. 4 I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also (F)bring you up again, and (G)Joseph's hand shall close your eyes.”
5 Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons (H)that Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 They also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and (I)came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him, 7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters. All his offspring he brought with him into Egypt.
8 (J)Now (K)these are the names of the descendants of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons. (L)Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, 9 and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of (M)Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of (N)Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but (O)Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of (P)Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 (Q)The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Yob, and Shimron. 14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, (R)whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.
16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. 17 (S)The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, with Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 18 (T)These are the sons of Zilpah, (U)whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons.
19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And (V)to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of (W)On, bore to him. 21 And (X)the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob—fourteen persons in all.
23 The son[a] of Dan: Hushim. 24 (Y)The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. 25 (Z)These are the sons of Bilhah, (AA)whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob—seven persons in all.
26 All the persons belonging to Jacob who came into Egypt, who were his own descendants, not including Jacob's sons' wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. (AB)All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.
Jacob and Joseph Reunited
28 He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to show the way before him in Goshen, and they came (AC)into the land of Goshen. 29 Then Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He presented himself to him and (AD)fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while. 30 Israel said to Joseph, (AE)“Now let me die, since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.” 31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, (AF)“I will go up and tell Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 (AG)And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ 33 When Pharaoh calls you and says, (AH)‘What is your occupation?’ 34 you shall say, (AI)‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock (AJ)from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ in order that you may dwell (AK)in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is (AL)an abomination to the Egyptians.”
