Context of Genesis 46:7
5Then Jacob left Beersheba and he continued to travel. Jacob's sons took their father as well as their wives and children. They rode in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to take them to Egypt. 6They also took all their animals and everything that they had got in Canaan. In that way, Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. He took his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters. He took all his family with him to Egypt. 8These are the names of the descendants of Israel who went to Egypt, (that is, the sons of Jacob): Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob. 9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
