[46:1] So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
[46:2] And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”
[46:3] Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
[46:4] I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.”
[46:5] Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
[46:6] They also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him,
[46:7] his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters. All his offspring he brought with him into Egypt.
[46:8] Now these are the names of the descendants of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons. Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn,
[46:9] and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
[46:10] The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.

[46:13] The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Yob, and Shimron.
[46:14] The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
[46:15] These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-Aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.
[46:16] The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
[46:17] The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, with Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
[46:18] These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons.
[46:19] The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
[46:20] And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, bore to him.
[46:21] And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
[46:22] These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob—fourteen persons in all.
[46:23] The son of Dan: Hushim.
[46:24] The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
[46:25] These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob—seven persons in all.
[46:26] 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.
[46:27] And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.
