Genesis 46:1-7 ▼

1 So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”

3 And He said, “I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.

4 I Myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I Myself will also bring you up again; and Joseph will close your eyes with his hand.”

5 Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

6 And they took their livestock and their possessions, which they had accumulated in the land of Canaan, and they came to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him:

7 his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his seed he brought with him to Egypt.
