That is why, still today, the Israelites don’t eat the thigh muscle that is at the hip socket: because he struck Jacob’s hip socket at the thigh muscle.[fn]
Jacob’s sons returned from the field when they heard about the incident. They were deeply grieved and very angry, for Shechem had committed an outrage against Israel by raping Jacob’s daughter, and such a thing should not be done.
God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; you will no longer be named Jacob, but your name will be Israel.” So he named him Israel.
While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it.
Jacob had twelve sons:
These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom
before any king reigned over the Israelites:
Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a long-sleeved robe[fn] for him.
Israel said to Joseph, “Your brothers, you know, are pasturing the flocks at Shechem. Get ready. I’m sending you to them.”
“I’m ready,” Joseph replied.
The sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
“Why have you caused me so much trouble? ” Israel asked. “Why did you tell the man that you had another brother? ”
Then Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me. We will be on our way so that we may live and not die — neither we, nor you, nor our dependents.
Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and take them down to the man as a gift — a little balsam and a little honey, aromatic gum and resin, pistachios and almonds.
The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.
Then Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go to see him before I die.”
Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba, and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
That night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob! ” he said.
And Jacob replied, “Here I am.”
Jacob left Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their dependents and their wives.
These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt — Jacob and his sons:
Jacob’s firstborn: Reuben.
Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, threw his arms around him, and wept for a long time.
Then Israel said to Joseph, “I’m ready to die now because I have seen your face and you are still alive! ”
Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property in it and became fruitful and very numerous.
When the time approached for him to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor with you, put your hand under my thigh and promise me that you will deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt.
And Jacob said, “Swear to me.” So Joseph swore to him. Then Israel bowed in thanks at the head of his bed.[fn]
When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel summoned his strength and sat up in bed.
Now his eyesight was poor because of old age; he could hardly[fn] see. Joseph brought them to him, and he kissed and embraced them.
Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face again, but now God has even let me see your offspring.”
Then Joseph took them both — with his right hand Ephraim toward Israel’s left, and with his left hand Manasseh toward Israel’s right — and brought them to Israel.
But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and crossing his hands, put his left on Manasseh’s head, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
So he blessed them that day, putting Ephraim before Manasseh when he said, “The nation Israel will invoke blessings by you, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’ ”
Israel said to Joseph, “Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your fathers.
“Their anger is cursed, for it is strong,
and their fury, for it is cruel!
I will disperse them throughout Jacob
and scatter them throughout Israel.
“Yet his bow remained steady,
and his strong arms were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
by the name of[fn] the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,

He commanded his servants who were physicians to embalm his father. So they embalmed Israel.
So Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath: “When God comes to your aid, you are to carry my bones up from here.”

But the Israelites were fruitful, increased rapidly, multiplied, and became extremely numerous so that the land was filled with them.
He said to his people, “Look, the Israelite people are more numerous and powerful than we are.
But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread so that the Egyptians came to dread[fn] the Israelites.
After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned because of their difficult labor, they cried out, and their cry for help because of the difficult labor ascended to God.
“So because the Israelites’ cry for help has come to me, and I have also seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them,
“therefore, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh so that you may lead my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”
