Génesis 46

Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker

1Da brach Israel auf mit seinem ganzen Hausstand und gelangte nach Beerseba; da brachte er dem Gotte seines Vaters Isaak Opfer dar.

2Da rief Gott in einem nächtlichen Gesicht Israel und sprach: Jakob, Jakob! Er antwortete: Ich höre!

3Da sprach er: Ich bin El, der Gott deines Vaters. Ziehe unbedenklich nach Ägypten, denn dort will ich dich zu einem großen Volke werden lassen.

4Ich selbst werde mit dir nach Ägypten ziehn und ich selbst werde dich auch wieder zurückbringen; aber Joseph soll dir die Augen zudrücken.

5Da brach Jakob auf von Beerseba, und die Söhne Israels hoben ihren Vater Jakob, ihre kleinen Kinder und ihre Frauen auf die Wagen, die der Pharao gesandt hatte, um ihn hinzubringen.

6Und sie nahmen ihre Herden und ihre Fahrhabe, die sie in Kanaan erworben hatten, und gelangten nach Ägypten, Jakob mit seiner gesamten Nachkommenschaft;

7seine Söhne und Enkel, seine Töchter und Enkelinnen und seine gesamte Nachkommenschaft brachte er mit sich nach Ägypten.

8Dies aber sind die Namen der Nachkommen Israels, die nach Ägypten kamen. Jakob und seine Nachkommen: der erstgeborene Sohn Jakobs Ruben.

9Die Söhne Rubens waren: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron und Karmi.

10Die Söhne Simeons: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar und Saul, der Sohn der Kanaaniterin.

11Die Söhne Levis: Gerson, Kahath und Merari.

12Die Söhne Judas: Ger, Onan, Sela, Perez und Serah; Ger und Onan jedoch starben in Kanaan. Die Söhne des Perez aber waren Hezron und Hamul.

13Die Söhne Issachars: Tola, Puvva, Job und Simron.

14Die Söhne Sebulons: Sered, Elon und Jahleel.

15Dies sind die Söhne Leas, die sie Jakob in Mesopotamien gebar, samt seiner Tochter Dina, zusammen 33 Söhne und Töchter.

16Die Söhne Gads aber waren: Zaphon, Haggi, Suni und Ezbon, Eri, Arodi und Areli.

17Die Söhne Assers: Jimna, Jisva, Jisvi, Bria, dazu ihre Schwester Serah, und die Söhne Brias waren Heber und Malkiel.

18Dies sind die Söhne Silpas, die Laban seiner Tochter Lea mitgab; diese gebar sie Jakob, sechzehn Seelen.

19Die Söhne Rahels, des Weibes Jakobs, waren Joseph und Benjamin.

20Dem Joseph aber wurden in Ägypten Söhne geboren; die gebar ihm Asnath, die Tochter Potipheras, des Oberpriesters von On: Manasse und Ephraim.

21Die Söhne Benjamins aber waren Bela und Becher und Asbel, Gera und Naaman, Ehi und Ros, Muppim und Huppim und Ard.

22Dies sind die Söhne Rahels, die sie Jakob gebar, zusammen vierzehn Seelen.

23Die Söhne Dans aber waren Husim,

24und die Söhne Naphthalis: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer und Sillem.

25Dies sind die Söhne Bilhas, welche Laban seiner Tochter Rahel mitgab; diese gebar sie Jakob, zusammen sieben Seelen.

26Die Gesamtzahl der leiblichen Nachkommen Jakobs, die nach Ägypten übersiedelten, ungerechnet die Frauen der Söhne Jakobs, betrug 66 Seelen.

27Die Söhne Josephs aber, die ihm in Ägypten geboren wurden, waren zwei an der Zahl. Die Gesamtzahl der Angehörigen Jakobs, die nach Ägypten gelangten, betrug siebzig.

28Juda aber sandte er voraus zu Joseph, damit er vor ihm nach Gosen Weisung gebe. Als sie nun nach der Provinz Gosen gelangt waren,

29ließ Joseph seinen Wagen anspannen und fuhr hin nach Gosen seinem Vater Israel entgegen. Und als er mit ihm zusammentraf, fiel er ihm um den Hals und weinte lange an seinem Halse.

30Israel aber sprach zu Joseph: Nun will ich gern sterben, nachdem ich dich wiedergesehen habe, daß du noch am Leben bist.

31Da sprach Joseph zu seinen Brüdern und zu den Angehörigen seines Vaters: Ich will hin, dem Pharao Bericht zu erstatten, und will ihm sagen: Meine Brüder und die Angehörigen meines Vaters, die in Kanaan waren, sind zu mir gekommen.

32Und zwar sind diese Leute Schafhirten - denn sie waren Viehzüchter - und haben ihre Schafe und Rinder und ihre ganze Habe mit hergebracht.

33Wenn euch nun der Pharao rufen läßt und fragt: Welches ist euer Beruf?

34so antwortet: Deine Sklaven sind Viehzüchter gewesen von Jugend auf bis heute, sowohl wir, wie unsere Vorfahren - damit ihr in der Provinz Gosen bleiben dürft. Die Schafhirten sind nämlich den Ägyptern ein Gegenstand des Abscheus.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y PARTIÓSE Israel con todo lo que tenía, y vino á Beer-seba, y ofreció sacrificios al Dios de su padre Isaac.

2Y habló Dios á Israel en visiones de noche, y dijo: Jacob, Jacob. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.

3Y dijo: Yo soy Dios, el Dios de tu padre; no temas de descender á Egipto, porque yo te pondré allí en gran gente.

4Yo descenderé contigo á Egipto, y yo también te haré volver: y José pondrá su mano sobre tus ojos.

5Y levantóse Jacob de Beer-seba; y tomaron los hijos de Israel á su padre Jacob, y á sus niños, y á sus mujeres, en los carros que Faraón había enviado para llevarlo.

6Y tomaron sus ganados, y su hacienda que había adquirido en la tierra de Canaán, y viniéronse á Egipto, Jacob, y toda su simiente consigo;

7Sus hijos, y los hijos de sus hijos consigo; sus hijas, y las hijas de sus hijos, y á toda su simiente trajo consigo á Egipto.

8Y estos son los nombres de los hijos de Israel, que entraron en Egipto, Jacob y sus hijos: Rubén, el primogénito de Jacob.

19Y los hijos de Rachêl, mujer de Jacob: José y Benjamín.

20Y nacieron á José en la tierra de Egipto Manasés y Ephraim, los que le parió Asenath, hija de Potipherah, sacerdote de On.

21Y los hijos de Benjamín fueron Bela, y Bechêr y Asbel, y Gera, y Naamán, y Ehi, y Ros y Muppim, y Huppim, y Ard.

27Y los hijos de José, que le nacieron en Egipto, dos personas. Todas las almas de la casa de Jacob, que entraron en Egipto, fueron setenta.

28Y envió á Judá delante de sí á José, para que le viniese á ver á Gosén; y llegaron á la tierra de Gosén.

29Y José unció su carro y vino á recibir á Israel su padre á Gosén; y se manifestó á él, y echóse sobre su cuello, y lloró sobre su cuello bastante.

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.

1And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

2And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

3And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:

4I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

5And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

6And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:

7His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

27And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

28And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

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.
