1Israël partit avec tout ce qui lui appartenait. Il arriva à Beer-Schéba, et offrit des sacrifices au Dieu de son père, Isaac.
2Dieu parla à Israël dans des visions de la nuit, et dit : « Jacob ! Jacob ! » Il répondit : « Me voici. »
3Il dit : « Je suis Dieu, le Dieu de ton père. Ne crains pas de descendre en Égypte, car là je ferai de toi une grande nation.
4Je descendrai avec toi en Égypte, et je t'en ferai sûrement remonter. La main de Joseph fermera tes yeux. »
5Jacob se leva de Beer-Schéba, et les fils d'Israël portèrent Jacob, leur père, leurs petits enfants et leurs femmes, dans les chariots que Pharaon avait envoyés pour le transporter.
6Ils prirent leurs troupeaux et leurs biens, qu'ils avaient acquis dans le pays de Canaan, et arrivèrent en Égypte, Jacob et toute sa descendance avec lui.
7Il fit venir avec lui en Égypte ses fils et les fils de ses fils, ses filles et les filles de ses fils, et toute sa descendance.
8Voici les noms des enfants d'Israël, qui vinrent en Égypte, Jacob et ses fils : Ruben, le premier-né de Jacob.

27Les fils de Joseph, qui lui naquirent en Égypte, étaient deux âmes. Toutes les âmes de la maison de Jacob, qui vinrent en Égypte, étaient au nombre de soixante-dix.
28Jacob envoya Juda devant lui vers Joseph, pour lui montrer le chemin jusqu'à Gosen, et ils arrivèrent dans le pays de Gosen.
29Joseph prépara son char, et monta à la rencontre d'Israël, son père, à Gosen. Il se présenta à lui, tomba sur son cou, et pleura longtemps sur son cou.
30Israël dit à Joseph : « Que je meure maintenant, puisque j'ai vu ton visage, et que tu es encore en vie. »
31Joseph dit à ses frères et à la maison de son père : « Je vais monter, et parler à Pharaon, et je lui dirai : « Mes frères et la maison de mon père, qui étaient dans le pays de Canaan, sont venus vers moi.
32Ces hommes sont des bergers, car ils ont été éleveurs de bétail, et ils ont amené leurs brebis, leurs bœufs, et tout ce qui leur appartient. »
33Il arrivera, quand Pharaon vous appellera, et dira : « Quelle est votre occupation ? »
34que vous direz : « Tes serviteurs ont été éleveurs de bétail depuis notre jeunesse jusqu'à maintenant, nous et nos pères », afin que vous puissiez habiter dans le pays de Gosen ; car tout berger est une abomination pour les Égyptiens. »

30Entonces Israel dijo á José: Muera yo ahora, ya que he visto tu rostro, pues aun vives.
31Y José dijo á sus hermanos, y á la casa de su padre: Subiré y haré saber á Faraón, y diréle: Mis hermanos y la casa de mi padre, que estaban en la tierra de Canaán, han venido á mí;
32Y los hombres son pastores de ovejas, porque son hombres ganaderos: y han traído sus ovejas y sus vacas, y todo lo que tenían.
33Y cuando Faraón os llamare y dijere: ¿cuál es vuestro oficio?
34Entonces diréis: Hombres de ganadería han sido tus siervos desde nuestra mocedad hasta ahora, nosotros y nuestros padres; á fin que moréis en la tierra de Gosén, porque los Egipcios abominan todo pastor de ovejas.

29And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
31And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
32And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
33And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
34That ye shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
