Genesis 46
1 Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quæ habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. Et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.
2 audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Ægyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:
4 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.
5 Surrexit autem Iacob a Puteo iuramenti: tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris quæ miserat Pharao ad portandum senem,
Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.
6 et omnia quæ possederat in Terra Chanaan: venitque in Ægyptum cum omni semine suo,
And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:
7 filii eius, et nepotes, filiæ, et cuncta simul progenies.
His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.
8 Hæc sunt autem nomina filiorum Israel, qui ingressi sunt in Ægyptum, ipse cum liberis suis. Primogenitus Ruben.

And Joseph had Manasseh and Ephraim in the land of Egypt, by Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On.

All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.

And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.
28 Misit autem Iudam ante se ad Ioseph, ut nunciaret ei, et occurreret in Gessen.
Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.
29 Quo cum pervenisset, iuncto Ioseph curro suo, ascendit obviam patri suo ad eumdem locum: vidensque eum, irruit super collum eius, et inter amplexus flevit.
And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.
30 Dixitque pater ad Ioseph: Iam lætus moriar, quia vidi faciem tuam, et superstitem te relinquo.
And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.
31 At ille locutus est ad fratres suos, et ad omnem domum patris sui: Ascendam, et nunciabo Pharaoni dicamque ei: Fratres mei, et domus patris mei, qui erant in Terra Chanaan, venerunt ad me:
And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;
32 et sunt viri pastores ovium, curamque habent alendorum gregum: pecora sua, et armenta, et omnia quæ habere potuerunt, adduxerunt secum.
And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.
33 Cumque vocaverit vos, et dixerit: Quod est opus vestrum?
Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?
34 Respondebitis: Viri pastores sumus servi tui, ab infantia nostra usque in præsens, et nos et patres nostri. Hæc autem dicetis, ut habitare possitis in Terra Gessen: quia detestantur Ægyptii omnes pastores ovium.
You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
