Genesis 46:1-9 ▼

1 And Israel journeys, and all that he has, and comes to Beer-Sheba, and sacrifices sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;

2 and God speaks to Israel in visions of the night and says, “Jacob, Jacob”; and he says, “Here I [am].”

3 And He says, “I [am] God, God of your father, do not be afraid of going down to Egypt, for I set you there for a great nation;

4 I go down with you to Egypt, and I also certainly bring you up, and Joseph puts his hand on your eyes.”

5 And Jacob rises from Beer-Sheba, and the sons of Israel carry away their father Jacob, and their infants, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh has sent to carry him,

6 and they take their livestock, and their goods which they have acquired in the land of Canaan, and come into Egypt—Jacob, and all his seed with him,

7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, indeed, all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.

8 And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are coming into Egypt: Jacob and his sons, Jacob’s firstborn, Reuben.

9 And sons of Reuben: Enoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
