Genesis 46:20-30

20 natique sunt Ioseph filii in terra Aegypti quos genuit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos Manasses et Ephraim

21 filii Beniamin Bela et Bechor et Asbel Gera et Naaman et Ehi et Ros Mophim et Opphim et Ared

22 hii filii Rahel quos genuit Iacob omnes animae quattuordecim

23 filii Dan Usim

24 filii Nepthalim Iasihel et Guni et Hieser et Sallem

25 hii filii Balae quam dedit Laban Raheli filiae suae et hos genuit Iacob omnes animae septem

26 cunctae animae quae ingressae sunt cum Iacob in Aegyptum et egressae de femore illius absque uxoribus filiorum sexaginta sex

27 filii autem Ioseph qui nati sunt ei in terra Aegypti animae duae omnis anima domus Iacob quae ingressa est Aegyptum fuere septuaginta

28 misit autem Iudam ante se ad Ioseph ut nuntiaret ei et ille occurreret in Gessen

29 quo cum pervenisset iuncto Ioseph curru suo ascendit obviam patri ad eundem locum vidensque eum inruit super collum eius et inter amplexus flevit

30 dixitque pater ad Ioseph iam laetus moriar quia vidi faciem tuam et superstitem te relinquo

Genesis 46:20-30 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 46

In this chapter we are told, that Jacob with all his family and substance took a journey to Egypt to see his son Joseph, as he determined, in which he was encouraged to proceed by a vision from God, Ge 46:1-7; and an account is given of all his sons, his sons' sons and daughters that went thither with him, Ge 46:8-27; when he came near to Egypt he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to acquaint him of his coming, who met him at Goshen, where there was a most affectionate interview between them, Ge 46:28-30; and when he gave directions and instructions what answers to give to Pharaoh's questions, when they should appear before him, to whom he proposed to go and inform him of their being come into Egypt, Ge 46:31-34.
