1 Αναχωρήσας δε ο Ισραήλ μετά πάντων των υπαρχόντων αυτού, ήλθεν εις Βηρ-σαβεέ και προσέφερε θυσίας εις τον Θεόν του πατρός αυτού Ισαάκ.
1 Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
2 Και είπεν ο Θεός προς τον Ισραήλ δι' οράματος της νυκτός λέγων, Ιακώβ, Ιακώβ. Ο δε είπεν, Ιδού, εγώ.
2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
3 Και είπεν, Εγώ είμαι ο Θεός, ο Θεός του πατρός σου· μη φοβηθής να καταβής εις Αίγυπτον· διότι έθνος μέγα θέλω σε καταστήσει εκεί·
3 He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
4 εγώ θέλω καταβή μετά σου εις Αίγυπτον και εγώ βεβαίως θέλω σε αναβιβάσει πάλιν· και ο Ιωσήφ θέλει βάλει τας χείρας αυτού επί τους οφθαλμούς σου.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”

5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6 Και λαβόντες τα κτήνη αυτών και τα υπάρχοντα αυτών, τα οποία απέκτησαν εν τη γη Χαναάν, ήλθον εις Αίγυπτον, ο Ιακώβ και παν το σπέρμα αυτού μετ' αυτού·
6 They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him,
7 τους υιούς αυτού και τους υιούς των υιών αυτού μεθ' εαυτού, τας θυγατέρας αυτού και τας θυγατέρας των υιών αυτού και παν το σπέρμα αυτού έφερε μεθ' εαυτού εις Αίγυπτον.

31 Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father’s house, “I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32 οι δε άνθρωποι είναι ποιμένες, διότι άνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι είναι και έφεραν τα ποίμνια αυτών και τας αγέλας αυτών και πάντα όσα έχουσι.
32 These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.’
33 Εάν λοιπόν σας καλέση ο Φαραώ και είπη, Ποίον το επιτήδευμά σας;
33 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, ‘What is your occupation?’
34 θέλετε ειπεί, Άνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι είμεθα οι δούλοί σου εκ νεότητος ημών έως του νυν και ημείς και οι πατέρες ημών· διά να κατοικήσητε εν τη γη Γεσέν· διότι είναι βδέλυγμα εις τους Αιγυπτίους πας ποιμήν προβάτων.
34 that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 46:27 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapter 4)

    In the same way it is nothing else than men that are meant either in the words, "By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified;" or in the words, "Seventy-five souls went down into Egypt with Jacob." In the one passage, "no flesh" signifies "no man;" and in the other, by "seventy-five souls" seventy-five men are …

  2. Quotes verse 46:29 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVI)

    … that is "lovingly;" and as Jacob, when he had found Joseph, fell upon his neck; as also in the Gospels, the loving father, on seeing his son who had returned from his wandering, had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

  3. Quotes verse 46:27 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book III, Chapters XVIII–XIX)

    But if the Evangelist said that the Word was made flesh, note that in the Holy Scripture sometimes a man is spoken of as a soul, as, for example, with seventy-five souls came Jacob into Egypt: and sometimes a man is spoken of as flesh, as, for example, All flesh shall see the salvation of God.

  4. Quotes verse 46:20 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 39–41)

    … Shuthelah, grandson of Joseph, and Shuthelah's son Ezer, grandson of Ephraim, and great-grand-son of Joseph, who could not possibly be in existence when Jacob came into Egypt, and there found his grandsons, the sons of Joseph, their grandsires, still boys under nine years of age. But doubtless, when the Scripture mentions Jacob's entrance into Egypt with seventy-five souls, it does …

  5. Quotes verse 46:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 39–41)

    But those who diligently look into these things will the less easily be mistaken, because it is written, "These are the names of the sons of Israel who entered into Egypt along with Jacob their father." For this means that the seventy-five are reckoned along with him, not that they were all with him when he entered Egypt; for, as …
