¹ Nõnda läks Iisrael teele koos kõigega, mis tal oli, ja tuli Beer-Sebasse ning ohverdas tapaohvreid oma isa Iisaki Jumalale.

² Ja Jumal rääkis Iisraeliga öistes nägemustes; ta ütles: 'Jaakob, Jaakob!' Ja see vastas: 'Siin ma olen!'

³ Siis ta ütles: 'Mina olen Jumal, sinu isa Jumal, ära karda minna Egiptusesse, sest ma teen sind seal suureks rahvaks!

⁴ Mina lähen koos sinuga Egiptusesse ja ma toon sind sealt tagasi, ja Joosep suleb oma käega su silmad.'

⁵ Ja Jaakob asus Beer-Sebast minekule; Iisraeli pojad panid oma isa Jaakobi ja oma väetid lapsed ja naised vankritesse, mis vaarao oli läkitanud teda tooma.

⁶ Ja nad võtsid oma karjad ja varanduse, mis nad Kaananimaal olid soetanud, ja tulid Egiptusesse, Jaakob ja kõik ta sugu koos temaga.

⁷ Oma pojad ja poegade pojad, tütred ja poegade tütred ja kogu oma soo viis ta koos enesega Egiptusesse.

⁸ Ja need on Iisraeli laste nimed, kes Egiptusesse tulid: Jaakob ja tema pojad. Jaakobi esmasündinu oli Ruuben.

⁹ Ruubeni pojad olid Hanok, Pallu, Hesron ja Karmi.

¹⁰ Siimeoni pojad olid Jemuel, Jaamin, Ohad, Jaakin, Sohar ja Saul, kaananlanna poeg.

¹⁴ Sebuloni pojad olid Sered, Eelon ja Jahleel.

¹⁵ Need olid Lea pojad, keda ta Jaakobile ilmale tõi Mesopotaamias; peale nende oli tal tütar Diina. Kõiki ta poegi ja tütreid oli ühtekokku kolmkümmend kolm hinge.

¹⁶ Gaadi pojad olid Sefon, Haggi, Suuni, Esbon, Eeri, Arodi ja Areli.

¹⁷ Aaseri pojad olid Jimna, Jisva, Jisvi ja Berija; nende õde oli Serah. Beria pojad olid Heber ja Malkiel.

¹⁸ Need olid selle Silpa pojad, kelle Laaban andis oma tütrele Leale ja kes tõi need Jaakobile ilmale, kuusteist hinge.

¹⁹ Jaakobi naise Raaheli pojad olid Joosep ja Benjamin.

²⁰ Joosepile sündisid Egiptusemaal pojad, keda temale ilmale tõi Asnat, Ooni preestri Pooti-Fera tütar: Manasse ja Efraim.

²¹ Benjamini pojad olid Bela, Beker, Asbel, Geera, Naaman, Eehi, Ross, Muppim, Huppim ja Aard.

²⁵ Need olid selle Billa pojad, kelle Laaban andis oma tütrele Raahelile ja kes tõi need Jaakobile ilmale, ühtekokku seitse hinge.

²⁶ Kõiki hingi, kes Jaakobiga Egiptusesse tulid, kes tema niudeist olid väljunud, peale Jaakobi poegade naiste, oli ühtekokku kuuskümmend kuus hinge.

²⁷ Ja Joosepi poegi, kes temale Egiptuses olid sündinud, oli kaks hinge; kõiki Jaakobi soo hingi, kes Egiptusesse tulid, oli seitsekümmend.

²⁸ Ja ta läkitas Juuda enese eel Joosepi juurde, et see teda juhataks Goosenisse; nõnda nad tulid Gooseni maakonda.

²⁹ Ja Joosep laskis hobused oma vankri ette rakendada ning läks Goosenisse vastu oma isale Iisraelile; kui ta teda nägi, siis ta langes temale kaela ja nuttis kaua tema kaelas.

³⁰ Ja Iisrael ütles Joosepile: 'Nüüd ma võin surra, sest olen näinud su nägu ja tean, et oled veel elus.'

³¹ Ja Joosep ütles oma vendadele ja oma isa perele: 'Ma lähen ja teatan vaaraole ning ütlen temale: Mu vennad ja mu isa pere, kes olid Kaananimaal, on minu juurde tulnud.

³² Ja need mehed on karjased, sest nad olidki karjakasvatajad, ja nad on oma lambad, kitsed ja veised ja kõik, mis neil oli, kaasa toonud.

³³ Kui juhtub, et vaarao teid kutsub ja küsib: Mis teie amet on?,

³⁴ siis vastake: Su sulased on olnud karjakasvatajad noorest põlvest kuni tänini, niihästi meie kui meie isad - et saaksite elada Gooseni maakonnas, sest egiptlased põlgavad kõiki lamba- ja kitsekarjaseid.'

¹ Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.

² God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" He said, "Here I am."

³ He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Don't be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

⁴ I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your eyes."

⁵ Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

²⁸ He sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.

²⁹ Joseph prepared his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. He presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

³⁰ Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."

³¹ Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father's house, "I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, 'My brothers, and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

³² These 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 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, 'What is your occupation?'

³⁴ that you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:' that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
