Genesis 45-46
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
45 Non se poterat ultra cohibere Joseph multis coram astantibus: unde praecepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras, et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuae.
2 Elevavitque vocem cum fletu, quam audierunt AEgyptii, omnisque domus Pharaonis.
3 Et dixit fratribus suis: Ego sum Joseph: adhuc pater meus vivit? Non poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti.
4 Ad quos ille clementer: Accedite, inquit, ad me. Et cum accessissent prope: Ego sum, ait, Joseph, frater vester, quem vendidistis in AEgyptum.
5 Nolite pavere, neque vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus: pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in AEgyptum.
6 Biennium est enim quod coepit fames esse in terra: et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit, nec meti.
7 Praemisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram, et escas ad vivendum habere possitis.
8 Non vestro consilio, sed Dei voluntate huc missus sum: qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis, et dominum universae domus ejus, ac principem in omni terra AEgypti.
9 Festinate, et ascendite ad patrem meum, et dicetis ei: Haec mandat filius tuus Joseph: Deus fecit me dominum universae terrae AEgypti: descende ad me, ne moreris,
10 et habitabis in terra Gessen: erisque juxta me tu, et filii tui, et filii filiorum tuorum, oves tuae, et armenta tua, et universa quae possides:
11 ibique te pascam (adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis) ne et tu pereas, et domus tua, et omnia quae possides.
12 En oculi vestri, et oculi fratris mei Benjamin, vident quod os meum loquatur ad vos.
13 Nuntiate patri meo universam gloriam meam, et cuncta quae vidistis in AEgypto: festinate, et adducite eum ad me.
14 Cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Benjamin fratris sui, flevit: illo quoque similiter flente super collum ejus.
15 Osculatusque est Joseph omnes fratres suos, et ploravit super singulos: post quae ausi sunt loqui ad eum.
16 Auditumque est, et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis: Venerunt fratres Joseph: et gavisus est Pharao, atque omnis familia ejus.
17 Dixitque ad Joseph ut imperaret fratribus suis, dicens: Onerantes jumenta, ite in terram Chanaan,
18 et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem, et venite ad me: et ego dabo vobis omnia bona AEgypti, ut comedatis medullam terrae.
19 Praecipe etiam ut tollant plaustra de terra AEgypti, ad subvectionem parvulorum suorum ac conjugum: et dicito: Tollite patrem vestrum, et properate quantocius venientes.
20 Nec dimittatis quidquam de supellectili vestra: quia omnes opes AEgypti vestrae erunt.
21 Feceruntque filii Israel ut eis mandatum fuerat. Quibus dedit Joseph plaustra, secundum Pharaonis imperium, et cibaria in itinere.
22 Singulis quoque proferri jussit binas stolas: Benjamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque stolis optimis:
23 tantumdem pecuniae et vestium mittens patri suo, addens et asinos decem, qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis AEgypti, et totidem asinas, triticum in itinere, panesque portantes.
24 Dimisit ergo fratres suos, et proficiscentibus ait: Ne irascamini in via.
25 Qui ascendentes ex AEgypto, venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Jacob.
26 Et nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes: Joseph filius tuus vivit: et ipse dominatur in omni terra AEgypti. Quo audito Jacob, quasi de gravi somno evigilans, tamen non credebat eis.
27 Illi e contra referebant omnem ordinem rei. Cumque vidisset plaustra et universa quae miserat, revixit spiritus ejus,
28 et ait: Sufficit mihi si adhuc Joseph filius meus vivit: vadam, et videbo illum antequam moriar.
46 Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quae habebat, venit ad Puteum juramenti: et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
2 audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Jacob, Jacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
3 Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in AEgyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
4 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Joseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
5 Surrexit autem Jacob a Puteo juramenti: tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris quae miserat Pharao ad portandum senem,
6 et omnia quae possederat in terra Chanaan: venitque in AEgyptum cum omni semine suo,
7 filii ejus, et nepotes, filiae, et cuncta simul progenies.
8 Haec sunt autem nomina filiorum Israel, qui ingressi sunt in AEgyptum, ipse cum liberis suis. Primogenitus Ruben.
9 Filii Ruben: Henoch et Phallu et Hesron et Charmi.
10 Filii Simeon: Jamuel et Jamin et Ahod, et Jachin et Sohar, et Saul filius Chanaanitidis.
11 Filii Levi: Gerson et Caath et Merari.
12 Filii Juda: Her et Onan et Sela et Phares et Zara; mortui sunt autem Her et Onan in terra Chanaan. Natique sunt filii Phares: Hesron et Hamul.
13 Filii Issachar: Thola et Phua et Job et Semron.
14 Filii Zabulon: Sared et Elon et Jahelel.
15 Hi filii Liae quos genuit in Mesopotamia Syriae cum Dina filia sua: omnes animae filiorum ejus et filiarum, triginta tres.
16 Filii Gad: Sephion et Haggi et Suni et Esebon et Heri et Arodi et Areli.
17 Filii Aser: Jamne et Jesua et Jessui et Beria, Sara quoque soror eorum. Filii Beria: Heber et Melchiel.
18 Hi filii Zelphae, quam dedit Laban Liae filiae suae: et hos genuit Jacob sedecim animas.
19 Filii Rachel uxoris Jacob: Joseph et Benjamin.
20 Natique sunt Joseph filii in terra AEgypti, quos genuit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos: Manasses et Ephraim.
21 Filii Benjamin: Bela et Bechor et Asbel et Gera et Naaman et Echi et Ros et Mophim et Ophim et Ared.
22 Hi filii Rachel quos genuit Jacob: omnes animae, quatuordecim.
23 Filii Dan: Husim.
24 Filii Nephthali: Jasiel et Guni et Jeser et Sallem.
25 Hi filii Balae, quam dedit Laban Racheli filiae suae: et hos genuit Jacob: omnes animae, septem.
26 Cunctae animae, quae ingressae sunt cum Jacob in AEgyptum, et egressae sunt de femore illius, absque uxoribus filiorum ejus, sexaginta sex.
27 Filii autem Joseph, qui nati sunt ei in terra AEgypti, animae duae. Omnes animae domus Jacob, quae ingressae sunt in AEgyptum, fuere septuaginta.
28 Misit autem Judam ante se ad Joseph, ut nuntiaret ei, et occurreret in Gessen.
29 Quo cum pervenisset, juncto Joseph curro suo, ascendit obviam patri suo ad eumdem locum: vidensque eum, irruit super collum ejus, et inter amplexus flevit.
30 Dixitque pater ad Joseph: Jam laetus moriar, quia vidi faciem tuam, et superstitem te relinquo.
31 At ille locutus est ad fratres suos, et ad omnem domum patris sui: Ascendam, et nuntiabo Pharaoni, dicamque ei: Fratres mei, et domus patris mei, qui erant in terra Chanaan, venerunt ad me:
32 et sunt viri pastores ovium, curamque habent alendorum gregum: pecora sua, et armenta, et omnia quae habere potuerunt, adduxerunt secum.
33 Cumque vocaverit vos, et dixerit: Quod est opus vestrum?
34 respondebitis: Viri pastores sumus servi tui, ab infantia nostra usque in praesens, et nos et patres nostri. Haec autem dicetis, ut habitare possitis in terra Gessen: quia detestantur AEgyptii omnes pastores ovium.

Joseph Makes Himself Known
45 Then Joseph could no longer control himself(A) before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Have everyone leave my presence!”(B) So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept(C) so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.(D)
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?”(E) But his brothers were not able to answer him,(F) because they were terrified at his presence.(G)
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.”(H) When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!(I) 5 And now, do not be distressed(J) and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here,(K) because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.(L) 6 For two years now there has been famine(M) in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. 7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant(N) on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.[a](O)
8 “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God.(P) He made me father(Q) to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.(R) 9 Now hurry(S) back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don’t delay.(T) 10 You shall live in the region of Goshen(U) and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have.(V) 11 I will provide for you there,(W) because five years of famine(X) are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’(Y)
12 “You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin,(Z) that it is really I who am speaking to you.(AA) 13 Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt(AB) and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.(AC)”
14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin(AD) embraced him,(AE) weeping. 15 And he kissed(AF) all his brothers and wept over them.(AG) Afterward his brothers talked with him.(AH)
16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace that Joseph’s brothers had come,(AI) Pharaoh and all his officials(AJ) were pleased.(AK) 17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals(AL) and return to the land of Canaan,(AM) 18 and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt(AN) and you can enjoy the fat of the land.’(AO)
19 “You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts(AP) from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come. 20 Never mind about your belongings,(AQ) because the best of all Egypt(AR) will be yours.’”
21 So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts,(AS) as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.(AT) 22 To each of them he gave new clothing,(AU) but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[b] of silver and five sets of clothes.(AV) 23 And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys(AW) loaded with the best things(AX) of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.(AY) 24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, “Don’t quarrel on the way!”(AZ)
25 So they went up out of Egypt(BA) and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.(BB) 26 They told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.”(BC) Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.(BD) 27 But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts(BE) Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 And Israel said, “I’m convinced!(BF) My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”(BG)
Jacob Goes to Egypt
46 So Israel(BH) set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba,(BI) he offered sacrifices(BJ) to the God of his father Isaac.(BK)
2 And God spoke to Israel(BL) in a vision at night(BM) and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”
“Here I am,”(BN) he replied.
3 “I am God, the God of your father,”(BO) he said. “Do not be afraid(BP) to go down to Egypt,(BQ) for I will make you into a great nation(BR) there.(BS) 4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.(BT) And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.(BU)”
5 Then Jacob left Beersheba,(BV) and Israel’s(BW) sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts(BX) that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. 6 So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt,(BY) taking with them their livestock and the possessions(BZ) they had acquired(CA) in Canaan. 7 Jacob brought with him to Egypt(CB) his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.(CC)
8 These are the names of the sons of Israel(CD) (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt:
Reuben the firstborn(CE) of Jacob.
9 The sons of Reuben:(CF)
Hanok, Pallu,(CG) Hezron and Karmi.(CH)
10 The sons of Simeon:(CI)
Jemuel,(CJ) Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar(CK) and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
11 The sons of Levi:(CL)
Gershon,(CM) Kohath(CN) and Merari.(CO)
12 The sons of Judah:(CP)
Er,(CQ) Onan,(CR) Shelah, Perez(CS) and Zerah(CT) (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan).(CU)
The sons of Perez:(CV)
Hezron and Hamul.(CW)
13 The sons of Issachar:(CX)
Tola, Puah,[c](CY) Jashub[d](CZ) and Shimron.
14 The sons of Zebulun:(DA)
Sered, Elon and Jahleel.
15 These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram,[e](DB) besides his daughter Dinah.(DC) These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.
16 The sons of Gad:(DD)
Zephon,[f](DE) Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.
17 The sons of Asher:(DF)
Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah.
Their sister was Serah.
The sons of Beriah:
Heber and Malkiel.
18 These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah,(DG) whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah(DH)—sixteen in all.
19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel:(DI)
Joseph and Benjamin.(DJ) 20 In Egypt, Manasseh(DK) and Ephraim(DL) were born to Joseph(DM) by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.[g](DN)
21 The sons of Benjamin:(DO)
Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.(DP)
22 These were the sons of Rachel(DQ) who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all.
25 These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah,(DU) whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel(DV)—seven in all.
26 All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons’ wives—numbered sixty-six persons.(DW) 27 With the two sons[h] who had been born to Joseph in Egypt,(DX) the members of Jacob’s family, which went to Egypt, were seventy[i] in all.(DY)
28 Now Jacob sent Judah(DZ) ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen.(EA) When they arrived in the region of Goshen, 29 Joseph had his chariot(EB) made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel.(EC) As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father[j] and wept(ED) for a long time.(EE)
30 Israel(EF) said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”(EG)
31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were living in the land of Canaan,(EH) have come to me.(EI) 32 The men are shepherds;(EJ) they tend livestock,(EK) and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’(EL) 33 When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’(EM) 34 you should answer, ‘Your servants(EN) have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’(EO) Then you will be allowed to settle(EP) in the region of Goshen,(EQ) for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.(ER)”
