Chapter 46
• Israel traveled with all that he had, and
came to Beersheba, and offered
sacrifices to the God of his father,
Isaac.
• God spoke to Israel in the visions of the
night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said,
“Here I am.” 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.
• I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also
surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your
eyes.”
• 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.
• They took their livestock, and their goods, which
they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and
came into Egypt — Jacob, and all his seed with
him,
• his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his
daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and he
brought all his seed with him into Egypt.
• These are the names of the children of Israel,
who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons:
Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
• The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and
Carmi.
• The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin,
Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
• The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
• The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and
Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of
Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and
Hamul.
• The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Iob, and
Shimron.
• The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
• These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to
Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah.
All the souls of his sons and his daughters were
thirty-three.
• The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon,
Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
• The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah,
and Serah their sister. The sons of Beriah: Heber
and Malchiel.
• These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave
to Leah, his daughter, and these she bore to
Jacob, even sixteen souls.
• The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife: Joseph and
Benjamin.
 • To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born 46:
Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the
daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.
• The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel,
Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and
Ard.
• These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to
Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
• The son of Dan: Hushim.
• The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and
Shillem.
• These are the sons of Bilhah, whom 6: Laban
gave to Rachel, his daughter, and these she
bore to Jacob: all the souls were seven.
• All the souls who came with Jacob into Egypt,
who were his direct descendants, besides Jacob’s
sons’ wives, all the souls were sixty-six.
• The sons of Joseph, who were born to him in
Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house
of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy.
• He sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show
the way before him to Goshen, and they came
into the land of Goshen.
• Joseph made ready 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.
• Israel said to Joseph,
“Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you
are still alive.”
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.
• 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.’
• It will happen, when Pharaoh summons
you, and will say,
‘What is your occupation?’
• 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.”
Chapter 47:1 Then Joseph went in and told
Pharaoh, and said,
“My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their
herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land
of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
• From among his brothers he took five men, and
presented them to Pharaoh.
• Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your
occupation?”
They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are
shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”
• They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as
foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for
your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in
the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let
your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
• Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father
and your brothers have come to you.
• The land of Egypt is before you. Make your
father and your brothers dwell in the best of the
land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you
know any able men among them, then put them
in charge of my livestock.”
• Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him
before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
• Pharaoh said to Jacob,
“How many are the days of the years of your life?”
• Jacob said to Pharaoh,
“The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one
hundred thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of
the years of my life, and they have not attained to the
days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of
their pilgrimage.”
• Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the
presence of Pharaoh.
• Joseph placed his father and his brothers, 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.
• Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all
of his father’s household, with bread, according
to their families.
• There was no bread in all the land; for the
famine was very severe, so that the land of
Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason
of the famine.
• Joseph gathered up all the money that was
found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of
Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and
Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
• When the money was all spent in the land of
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the
Egyptians came to Joseph, and said,
“Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence?
For our money fails.”
• Joseph said,
“Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your
livestock, if your money is gone.”
• They brought their livestock to Joseph, and
Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the
horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and
for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in
exchange for all their livestock for that year.
• When that year was ended, they came to
him the second year, and said to him,
“We will not hide from my lord how our money is all
spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is
nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and
our lands.
• Why should we die before your eyes, both we
and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and
we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh.
Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and
that the land won’t be desolate.”
• So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for
Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his
field, because the famine was severe on them,
and the land became Pharaoh’s.
 • As for the people, he moved them to the cities
from one end of the border of Egypt even to the
other end of it.
• Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the
priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their
portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why
they didn’t sell their land.
• Then Joseph said to the people,
“Behold, I have bought you and your land today for
Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow
the land.
• It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give
a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your
own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them
of your households, and for food for your little
ones.”
• They said,
“You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight
of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
• Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of
Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the
fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t
become Pharaoh’s.
• Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of
Goshen; and they got themselves possessions
therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied
exceedingly.
• Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years.
So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were
one hundred forty-seven years.
• The time drew near that Israel must die,
and he called his son Joseph, and said to
him,
“If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your
hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me.
Please don’t bury me in Egypt,
but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out
of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.”
He said,
“I will do as you have said.”
• He said,
“Swear to me,”
and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the
bed’s head. 48:1 It happened after these things,
that someone said to Joseph,
“Behold, your father is sick.”
He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and
Ephraim.
Chapter 48:2 Someone told Jacob, and said,
“Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,”
and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the
bed.
• Jacob said to Joseph,
“God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of
Canaan, and blessed me,
• and said to me,
‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you,
and I will make of you a company of peoples, and
will give this land to your seed after you for an
everlasting possession.’
• Now your two sons, who were born to you in the
land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt,
are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as
Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
• Your issue, who you become the father of after
them, will be yours. They will be called after the
name of their brothers in their inheritance.
• As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel
died by me in the land of Canaan in the way,
when there was still some distance to come to
Ephrath, and I buried her there in the way to
Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).”
• Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are
these?”
• Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons,
whom God has given me here.”
He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will
bless them.”
• Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that
he couldn’t see. He brought them near to him;
and he kissed them, and embraced them.
• Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see
your face, and behold, God has let me see your
seed also.”
• Joseph brought them out from between his
knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the
earth.
• 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 to him.
• Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on
Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his
left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands
knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
• He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before
whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk,
the God who has fed me all my life long to this
day,
• the angel who has 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. Let them grow into a multitude in the
midst of the earth.”
• When Joseph saw that his father laid his right
hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him.
He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from
Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
• Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father; for
this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his
head.”
• His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I
know. He also will become a people, and he also
will be great. However, his younger brother will
be greater than he, and his seed will become a
multitude of nations.”
• He blessed them that day, saying, “In you will
Israel bless, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim
and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before
Manasseh.
 • Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but
God will be with you, and bring you again to the
land of your fathers.
• Moreover I have given to you one portion above
your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the
Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
chapter49:1 Jacob called to his sons, and said:
“Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that
which will happen to you in the days to come.
• Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of
Jacob.
Listen to Israel, your father.
• “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and
