Genesis 46:20-34 ▼

20 To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, and Beker, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, and Ahiram, and Shuppim, and Huppim, and Ard.

22 These are the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob: all the persons were fourteen.

23 And the sons of Dan: Shuham.

24 And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.

25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel; and these she bore to Jacob: all the persons were seven.

26 All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, who were his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob's sons, all the persons were sixty-six.

27 And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.

28 And he sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to accompany him to Goshen. Then they arrived in the land of Goshen.

29 And Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. And he presented himself to him and he threw his arms around his neck and wept for a long time.

30 Then Israel said to Joseph, |Now let me die since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.|

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

32 The men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'

33 And it will come to pass, when Pharaoh summons you and says, 'What is your occupation?'

34 that you are to say, 'Your servants have looked after livestock from our youth until now, both we, and our fathers: 'in order that you may settle in the land of Goshen; since all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.|
