1So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

1וַיִּסַּ֤ע יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֖א בְּאֵ֣רָה שָּׁ֑בַע וַיִּזְבַּ֣ח זְבָחִ֔ים לֵאלֹהֵ֖י אָבִ֥יו יִצְחָֽק׃

2And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, "Jacob! Jacob!" "Here I am," he replied.

2וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּמַרְאֹ֣ת הַלַּ֔יְלָה וַיֹּ֖אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֣ב ׀ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃

3"I am God, the God of your father," he said. "Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

3וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אָנֹכִ֥י הָאֵ֖ל אֱלֹהֵ֣י אָבִ֑יךָ אַל־ תִּירָא֙ מֵרְדָ֣ה מִצְרַ֔יְמָה כִּֽי־ לְג֥וֹי גָּד֖וֹל אֲשִֽׂימְךָ֥ שָֽׁם׃

4I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph's own hand will close your eyes."

4אָנֹכִ֗י אֵרֵ֤ד עִמְּךָ֙ מִצְרַ֔יְמָה וְאָנֹכִ֖י אַֽעַלְךָ֣ גַם־ עָלֹ֑ה וְיוֹסֵ֕ף יָשִׁ֥ית יָד֖וֹ עַל־ עֵינֶֽיךָ׃

5Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel's sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him.

5וַיָּ֥קָם יַעֲקֹ֖ב מִבְּאֵ֣ר שָׁ֑בַע וַיִּשְׂא֨וּ בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶת־ יַעֲקֹ֣ב אֲבִיהֶ֗ם וְאֶת־ טַפָּם֙ וְאֶת־ נְשֵׁיהֶ֔ם בָּעֲגָל֕וֹת אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁלַ֥ח פַּרְעֹ֖ה לָשֵׂ֥את אֹתֽוֹ׃

6So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt, taking with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan.

6וַיִּקְח֣וּ אֶת־ מִקְנֵיהֶ֗ם וְאֶת־ רְכוּשָׁם֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר רָֽכְשׁוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ מִצְרָ֑יְמָה יַעֲקֹ֖ב וְכָל־ זַרְע֥וֹ אִתּֽוֹ׃

7Jacob brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters--all his offspring.

7בָּנָ֞יו וּבְנֵ֤י בָנָיו֙ אִתּ֔וֹ בְּנֹתָ֛יו וּבְנ֥וֹת בָּנָ֖יו וְכָל־ זַרְע֑וֹ הֵבִ֥יא אִתּ֖וֹ מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃ ס

26All those who went to Egypt with Jacob--those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons' wives--numbered sixty-six persons.

26כָּל־ הַ֠נֶּפֶשׁ הַבָּאָ֨ה לְיַעֲקֹ֤ב מִצְרַ֙יְמָה֙ יֹצְאֵ֣י יְרֵכ֔וֹ מִלְּבַ֖ד נְשֵׁ֣י בְנֵי־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב כָּל־ נֶ֖פֶשׁ שִׁשִּׁ֥ים וָשֵֽׁשׁ׃

27With the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob's family, which went to Egypt, were seventy in all.

27וּבְנֵ֥י יוֹסֵ֛ף אֲשֶׁר־ יֻלַּד־ ל֥וֹ בְמִצְרַ֖יִם נֶ֣פֶשׁ שְׁנָ֑יִם כָּל־ הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ לְבֵֽית־ יַעֲקֹ֛ב הַבָּ֥אָה מִצְרַ֖יְמָה שִׁבְעִֽים׃ פ

28Now Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When they arrived in the region of Goshen,

28וְאֶת־ יְהוּדָ֞ה שָׁלַ֤ח לְפָנָיו֙ אֶל־ יוֹסֵ֔ף לְהוֹרֹ֥ת לְפָנָ֖יו גֹּ֑שְׁנָה וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אַ֥רְצָה גֹּֽשֶׁן׃

29Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father and wept for a long time.

29וַיֶּאְסֹ֤ר יוֹסֵף֙ מֶרְכַּבְתּ֔וֹ וַיַּ֛עַל לִקְרַֽאת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל אָבִ֖יו גֹּ֑שְׁנָה וַיֵּרָ֣א אֵלָ֗יו וַיִּפֹּל֙ עַל־ צַוָּארָ֔יו וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ עַל־ צַוָּארָ֖יו עֽוֹד׃

30Israel said to Joseph, "Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive."

30וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־ יוֹסֵ֖ף אָמ֣וּתָה הַפָּ֑עַם אַחֲרֵי֙ רְאוֹתִ֣י אֶת־ פָּנֶ֔יךָ כִּ֥י עוֹדְךָ֖ חָֽי׃

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

31וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יוֹסֵ֤ף אֶל־ אֶחָיו֙ וְאֶל־ בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו אֶעֱלֶ֖ה וְאַגִּ֣ידָה לְפַרְעֹ֑ה וְאֹֽמְרָ֣ה אֵלָ֔יו אַחַ֧י וּבֵית־ אָבִ֛י אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־ כְּנַ֖עַן בָּ֥אוּ אֵלָֽי׃

32The men are shepherds; they tend livestock, and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.'

32וְהָאֲנָשִׁים֙ רֹ֣עֵי צֹ֔אן כִּֽי־ אַנְשֵׁ֥י מִקְנֶ֖ה הָי֑וּ וְצֹאנָ֧ם וּבְקָרָ֛ם וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָהֶ֖ם הֵבִֽיאוּ׃

33When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, 'What is your occupation?'

33וְהָיָ֕ה כִּֽי־ יִקְרָ֥א לָכֶ֖ם פַּרְעֹ֑ה וְאָמַ֖ר מַה־ מַּעֲשֵׂיכֶֽם׃

34you should answer, 'Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.' Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians."

34וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם אַנְשֵׁ֨י מִקְנֶ֜ה הָי֤וּ עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ מִנְּעוּרֵ֣ינוּ וְעַד־ עַ֔תָּה גַּם־ אֲנַ֖חְנוּ גַּם־ אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בַּעֲב֗וּר תֵּשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֔שֶׁן כִּֽי־ תוֹעֲבַ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם כָּל־ רֹ֥עֵה צֹֽאן׃
