Jacob Moves to Egypt
1  Ἀπάρας δὲ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἔθυσεν θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ. 2  εἶπεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτὸς εἴπας Ἰακώβ, Ἰακώβ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Τί ἐστιν; 3  λέγων, Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου· μὴ φοβοῦ καταβῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω σὲ ἐκεῖ, 4  καὶ ἐγὼ καταβήσομαι μετὰ σου εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναβιβάσω σὲ εἰς τέλος, καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου. 5  ἀνέστη δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ ἀνέλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς ἁμάξας, ἃς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωσὴφ ἆραι αὐτόν, 6  καὶ ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν κτῆσιν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, Ἰακὼβ καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ, 7  υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ, θυγατέρες καὶ θυγατέρες τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἤγαγεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον. 1 And Israel set out, he and all that he had, and came to the Well of the Oath (Beersheba), and he offered a sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spoke to Israel in a vision of the night, saying, "Jacob, Jacob!" And he said, "What is it?" 3 And He said, "I am the God of your fathers; do not fear to go down into Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. 4 And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up again at the end; and Joseph shall lay his hands upon your eyes." 5 And Jacob arose from the Well of the Oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father and their baggage and their wives upon the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him. 6 And they took up their belongings and all the possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan; they entered into Egypt—Jacob and all his offspring with him. 7 His sons and the sons of his sons with him, his daughters and the daughters of his sons; he brought all his offspring into Egypt.

19  υἱοὶ δὲ Ῥαχὴλ γυναικὸς Ἰακώβ· Ἰωσὴφ καὶ Βενιαμίν. 20  ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἀσεννὲθ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρῇ ἱερέως Ἡλίου πόλεως, τὸν Μανασσῆ καὶ τὸν Ἐφραὶμ ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ παλλακὴ ἡ Σύρα, τὸν Μαχίρ· Μαχὶρ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Γαλαάδ. υἱοὶ δὲ Ἐφραὶμ ἀδελφοῦ Μανασσῆ· Σουταλαὰμ καὶ Ταάμ. υἱοὶ δὲ Σουταλαάμ· Ἐδέμ. 21  υἱοὶ δὲ Βενιαμίν· Βαλὰ καὶ Χοβὼρ καὶ Ἀσβήλ. ἐγένοντο δὲ υἱοὶ Βαλά· Γηρὰ καὶ Νοεμὰν καὶ Ἀγχὶς καὶ Ῥὼς καὶ Μαμφὶν καὶ Ὁφιμίν· Γηρὰ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀράδ. 22 οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ῥαχήλ, οὓς ἔτεκεν τῷ Ἰακώβ· πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ δέκα ὀκτώ. — 23  υἱοὶ δὲ Δάν· Ἀσόμ. 24  καὶ υἱοὶ Νεφθαλί· Ἀσιηλὶ καὶ Γωϋνὶ καὶ Ἰσσαὰρ καὶ Συλλήμ. 25 οὗτοι υἱοὶ Βάλλας, ἣν ἔδωκεν Λαβὰν Ῥαχὴλ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἣ ἔτεκεν τούτους τῷ Ἰακώβ· πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ ἑπτά. — 26  πᾶσαι δὲ ψυχαὶ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτοῦ, χωρὶς τῶν γυναικῶν υἱῶν Ἰακώβ, πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ ἑξήκοντα ἕξ. 27  υἱοὶ δὲ Ἰωσὴφ οἱ γενόμενοι αὐτῷ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ψυχαὶ ἐννέα. πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ οἴκου Ἰακὼβ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε. 19 And the sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And there were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Aseneth the daughter of Pentephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him: Manasseh and Ephraim.

28  Τὸν δὲ Ἰούδαν ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ συναντῆσαι αὐτῷ καθ' Ἡρώων πόλιν εἰς γῆν Ῥαμεσσῆ. 29  ζεύξας δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν Ἰσραὴλ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καθ' Ἡρώων πόλιν καὶ ὀφθεὶς αὐτῷ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν κλαυθμῷ πλείονι. 30  καὶ εἶπεν Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσήφ, Ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, ἐπεὶ ἑώρακα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου· ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ζῇς. 31  εἶπεν δὲ Ἰωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, Ἀναβὰς ἀπαγγελῶ τῷ Φαραὼ καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ, Οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἥκασιν πρός με· 32  οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες εἰσὶν ποιμένες — ἄνδρες γὰρ κτηνοτρόφοι ἦσαν — καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἀγειόχασιν. 33  ἐὰν οὖν καλέσῃ ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ καὶ εἴπῃ ὑμῖν, Τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν ἐστιν; 34  ἐρεῖτε, Ἄνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι ἐσμὲν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐκ παιδὸς ἕως τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἵνα κατοικήσητε ἐν γῇ Γεσὲμ Ἀραβίᾳ· βδέλυγμα γάρ ἐστιν Αἰγυπτίοις πᾶς ποιμὴν προβάτων. 28 And he sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph, to meet him at the City of Heroes (Heroopolis) in the land of Rameses. 29 And Joseph, having yoked his chariots, went up to meet Israel his father at the City of Heroes; and having appeared to him, he fell upon his neck and wept with much weeping. 30 And Israel said to Joseph, "I will die from now on, since I have seen your face; for you are still alive." 31 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I will go up and report to Pharaoh and say to him: 'My brothers and the house of my father, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 And the men are shepherds—for they have been men who breed cattle—and they have brought their cattle and oxen and all that they have.' 33 If, then, Pharaoh calls you and says to you, 'What is your occupation?' 34 you shall say, 'We your servants are men who breed cattle from our childhood until now, both we and our fathers,' so that you may dwell in the land of Goshen in Arabia; for every shepherd of sheep is an abomination to the Egyptians."
