23 And the sons of Dan; Asom. 24 And the sons of Nephthalim; Asiel, and Goni, and Issaar, and Syllem. 25 These [are] the sons of Bala, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, who bore these to Jacob; all the souls, seven. 26 And all the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, who came out of his loins, besides the wives of the sons of Jacob, [even] all the souls were sixty-six. 27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in the land of Egypt, were nine souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob who came with Joseph into Egypt, were seventy-five souls. 28 And he sent Judas before him to Joseph, to meet him to the city of Heroes, into the land of Ramesses. 29 And Joseph having made ready his chariots, went up to meet Israel his father, at the city of Heroes; and having appeared to him, fell on his neck, and wept with abundant weeping. 30 And Israel said to Joseph, After this I will [gladly] die, since I have seen thy face, for thou art yet living. 31 And Joseph said to his brethren, I will go up and tell Pharao, and will say to him, My brethren, and my father's house, who were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me. 32 And the men are shepherds; for they have been feeders of cattle, and they have brought with them their cattle, and their kine, and all their property. 33 If then Pharao call you, and say to you, What is you occupation? 34 Ye shall say, We thy servants are herdsmen from our youth until now, both we and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.

23 υἱοὶ δὲ Δάν· ᾿Ασόμ. 24 καὶ υἱοὶ Νεφθαλείμ· ᾿Ασιὴλ καὶ Γωυνὶ καὶ ᾿Ισσάαρ καὶ Συλλήμ. 25 οὗτοι υἱοὶ Βαλᾶς, ἣν ἔδωκε Λάβαν Ραχὴλ τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἣ ἔτεκε τούτους τῷ ᾿Ιακώβ· πᾶσαι αἱ ψυχαὶ ἑπτά. 26 πᾶσαι δέ αἱ ψυχαὶ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ ᾿Ιακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτοῦ, χωρὶς τῶν γυναικῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ιακώβ, πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ ἑξηκονταέξ. 27 υἱοὶ δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ οἱ γενόμενοι αὐτῷ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ψυχαὶ ἐννέα. πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ οἴκου ᾿Ιακὼβ αἱ εἰσελθοῦσαι μετὰ ᾿Ιακὼβ εἰς Αἴγυπτον ψυχαὶ ἑβδομηκονταπέντε. 28 Τὸν δὲ ᾿Ιούδαν ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσὴφ συναντῆσαι αὐτῷ καθ᾿ ῾Ηρώων πόλιν, εἰς γῆν Ραμεσσῆ. 29 ζεύξας δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν ᾿Ισραὴλ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καθ᾿ ῾Ηρώων πόλιν καὶ ὀφθεὶς αὐτῷ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσε κλαυθμῷ πίονι. 30 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσήφ· ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, ἐπεὶ ἑώρακα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου· ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ζῇς. 31 εἶπε δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ· ἀναβὰς ἀπαγγελῶ τῷ Φαραὼ καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ· οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἥκασι πρός με· 32 οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες εἰσὶ ποιμένες· ἄνδρες γὰρ κτηνοτρόφοι ἦσαν· καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἀγηόχασιν. 33 ἐὰν οὖν καλέσῃ ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ καὶ εἴπῃ ὑμῖν· τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν ἐστίν; 34 ἐρεῖτε· ἄνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι ἐσμὲν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐκ παιδὸς ἕως τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἵνα κατοικήσητε ἐν γῇ Γεσὲμ ᾿Αραβίας· βδέλυγμα γάρ ἐστιν Αἰγυπτίοις πᾶς ποιμὴν προβάτων.
