Genesis 46:1-25

So Israel took all he had and started his trip. He went to Beersheba, where he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And Jacob answered, “Here I am.” Then God said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will make your descendants a great nation there. I will go to Egypt with you, and I will bring you out of Egypt again. Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes when you die.” Then Jacob left Beersheba. The sons of Israel loaded their father, their children, and their wives in the wagons the king of Egypt had sent. They also took their farm animals and everything they had gotten in Canaan. So Jacob went to Egypt with all his descendants— his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters. He took all his family to Egypt with him. Now these are the names of the children of Israel who went into Egypt (Jacob and his descendants). Reuben was Jacob’s first son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. Simeon’s sons were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul (Simeon’s son by a Canaanite woman). Levi’s sons were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Judah’s sons were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan). Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul. Issachar’s sons were Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron. Zebulun’s sons were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. These are the sons of Leah and Jacob born in Northwest Mesopotamia, in addition to his daughter Dinah. There were thirty-three persons in this part of Jacob’s family. Gad’s sons were Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. Asher’s sons were Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah, and their sister was Serah. Beriah’s sons were Heber and Malkiel. These are Jacob’s sons by Zilpah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah. There were sixteen persons in this part of Jacob’s family. The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin. In Egypt, Joseph became the father of Manasseh and Ephraim by his wife Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. Benjamin’s sons were Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. These are the sons of Jacob by his wife Rachel. There were fourteen persons in this part of Jacob’s family. Dan’s son was Hushim. Naphtali’s sons were Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. These are Jacob’s sons by Bilhah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel. There were seven persons in this part of Jacob’s family.
