Genesis 46
Israel sets out for Egypt, stopping at Beersheba to sacrifice. There God speaks in a night vision: don't fear going down — I will make you a great nation there, go down with you, and surely bring you up again. The chapter then pauses for a roster: the seventy souls of Jacob's house entering Egypt, named tribe by tribe, anchoring the family that will later become a people.
- 1
Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
- 2
God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
- 3
He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
- 4
I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”

Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
- 6
They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him,

his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and he brought all his offspring with him into Egypt.

- 32
These 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
It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, ‘What is your occupation?’
- 34
that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”

- 32
Estes homens são pastores, pois têm sido criadores de gado, e trouxeram os seus rebanhos, o seu gado e tudo o que têm.'

Acontecerá que, quando o Faraó os chamar e disser: 'Qual é a ocupação de vocês?'
- 34
vocês dirão: 'Seus servos têm sido criadores de gado desde a nossa juventude até agora, tanto nós como os nossos pais'; para que vocês possam habitar na terra de Gósen; pois todo pastor de ovelhas é abominação para os egípcios.”
From reunion to a plan
Jacob sends Judah ahead to Goshen. Joseph rides up in his chariot, falls on his father's neck and weeps a long while; Israel says he can now die content, having seen Joseph's face alive.
Joseph then coaches the family on what to tell Pharaoh — that they are keepers of livestock — knowing shepherds are an abomination to Egyptians, which will secure them the separate land of Goshen.
