Genesis 46

Het Boek

van Biblica
1 Zo trok Israël met al zijn bezittingen naar Berseba en bracht daar offers aan de God van zijn vader Isaak. 2 In de loop van de nacht sprak God tot hem in een visioen. ‘Jakob, Jakob!’ riep Hij. ‘Ja, HERE, hier ben ik!’ antwoordde Jakob. 3 ‘Ik ben God,’ zei de stem, ‘de God van uw vader. Wees niet bang om naar Egypte te gaan, want Ik zal ervoor zorgen dat u daar uitgroeit tot een groot volk. 4 Ik zal met u meegaan naar Egypte en uw nakomelingen terugbrengen. Maar u zult in Egypte, met uw zoon Jozef naast u, sterven.’ 5 Zo verliet Jakob Berseba, en zijn zonen brachten hem naar Egypte, samen met hun vrouwen en kinderen in de rijtuigen die de farao ter beschikking had gesteld. 6 Ze namen ook hun vee en hun huisraad mee, alle bezittingen die zij in Kanaän hadden vergaard en kwamen in Egypte. Jakob en al zijn kinderen, 7 zonen en dochters, kleinzonen en kleindochters, allen van wie hij hield. 8-14 Hier zijn de namen van zijn zonen en kleinkinderen die met hem meegingen naar Egypte: Ruben, zijn oudste zoon en diens zonen Chanoch, Pallu, Chesron en Karmi. Simeon en zijn zonen Jemuël, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Sochar en Saül (Saüls moeder was een Kanaänitische). Levi en zijn zonen Gerson, Kehat en Merari. Juda en zijn zonen Er, Onan, Sela, Peres en Zerach (Er en Onan waren in Kanaän gestorven). Peres had ook twee zonen: Chesron en Chamul. Issachar en zijn zonen Tola, Pua, Job en Simron. Zebulon en zijn zonen Sered, Elon en Jachleël. 15 Al deze afstammelingen van Jakob en Lea, zonder hun dochter Dina, kreeg Jakob in Paddan-Aram, drieëndertig in totaal. 16-17 Onder het gezelschap waren ook: Gad en zijn zonen Sifjon, Chaggi, Suni, Esbon, Eri, Arodi en Areli. Aser en zijn zonen Jimna, Jiswa, Jiswi en Beria en hun zuster Serach. Beriaʼs zonen heetten Cheber en Malkiël. 18 Deze zestien personen waren afstammelingen van Jakob en Zilpa, de dienares die Lea van haar vader Laban kreeg. 19-22 Bij Jakobs huishouding waren ook de veertien afstammelingen van Jakob en Rachel: Jozef en Benjamin. Jozefs zonen, die hij in Egypte kreeg, waren Manasse en Efraïm (hun moeder was Asnat, de dochter van Potifera, de priester van Heliopolis). Benjamins zonen Bela, Becher, Asbel, Gera, Naäman, Echi, Ros, Muppim, Chuppim en Ard. 23-25 Tot de groep behoorden ook de zeven afstammelingen van Jakob en Bilha, de dienares die Rachel van haar vader Laban kreeg: Dan en zijn zoon Chusim. Naftali en zijn zonen Jachseël, Guni, Jeser en Sillem. 26 Zo kwam het totaal van de groep die naar Egypte ging—allemaal afstammelingen van Jakob en zonder de vrouwen van zijn zonen—op zesenzestig personen. 27 Met Jozefs twee zonen meegerekend, bestond de gehele familie daar in Egypte uit zeventig mensen. 28 Jakob stuurde Juda vooruit om Jozef te vertellen dat zij onderweg waren en al snel in Gosen zouden aankomen, wat ook gebeurde. 29 Jozef sprong in zijn rijtuig en reisde naar Gosen om zijn vader te ontmoeten. Zij vielen elkaar om de hals en huilden een tijd. 30 Toen zei Israël tegen Jozef: ‘Nu kan ik eindelijk sterven, want ik heb jou weer gezien en weet dat je nog leeft.’ 31 Jozef richtte zich tot zijn broers en zei: ‘Ik zal de farao gaan vertellen dat jullie uit het land Kanaän zijn gekomen om bij mij te zijn. 32 En ik zal hem zeggen: “Deze mannen zijn schaapherders. Zij hebben hun kudden en al hun andere bezittingen meegenomen.” 33 Als de farao dus met jullie wil praten en vraagt wat jullie beroep is, moet je zeggen: 34 “Wij zijn sinds onze jeugd schaapherders, net zoals onze vaders al generaties lang zijn geweest.” Als jullie hem dat vertellen, zal hij jullie rustig in Gosen laten wonen.’ Want in andere delen van Egypte werden schaapherders veracht en gehaat.

Genesis 46

English Standard Version

van Crossway
1 So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. (Gen 21:31; Gen 21:33; Gen 26:24; Gen 26:33; Gen 28:10; Gen 28:13; Gen 31:42) 2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” (Gen 15:1; Job 33:14) 3 Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation. (Gen 12:2; Gen 28:13; Gen 35:11; Ex 1:7; Ex 1:9; Deut 26:5) 4 I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.” (Gen 15:16; Gen 28:15; Gen 48:21; Gen 50:1; Gen 50:24; Ex 3:8) 5 Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him. (Gen 45:19; Gen 45:21; Gen 45:27) 6 They also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him, (Joz 24:4; Ps 105:23; Jes 52:4; Hand 7:14) 7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters. All his offspring he brought with him into Egypt. 8 Now these are the names of the descendants of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons. Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, (Ex 1:1; Ex 6:14; Num 26:5; 1 Kron 5:1) 9 and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. (1 Kron 6:1) 12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. (Gen 38:3; Gen 38:7; Gen 38:10; Gen 38:29; 1 Kron 2:3; 1 Kron 2:5; 1 Kron 4:21) 13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Yob, and Shimron. (1 Kron 7:1) 14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three. (Gen 29:32; Gen 30:1) 16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. 17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, with Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. (1 Kron 7:30) 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons. (Gen 29:24; Gen 30:10) 19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, bore to him. (Gen 41:45; Gen 41:50) 21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. (Num 26:38; 1 Kron 7:6; 1 Kron 8:1) 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob—fourteen persons in all. 23 The son[1] of Dan: Hushim. 24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. (1 Kron 7:13) 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob—seven persons in all. (Gen 29:29; Gen 30:5) 26 All the persons belonging to Jacob who came into Egypt, who were his own descendants, not including Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy. (Ex 1:5; Deut 10:22; Hand 7:14) 28 He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to show the way before him in Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen. (Gen 45:10) 29 Then Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He presented himself to him and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while. (Gen 45:14) 30 Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.” (Luk 2:29) 31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. (Gen 47:1) 32 And 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.’ (Gen 47:3) 33 When Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’ (Gen 46:32) 34 you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,’ in order that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.” (Gen 37:12; Gen 43:32; Gen 46:28; Gen 46:32; Ex 8:26)
