Genesis 46:1-5

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

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

3Then he said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.

4I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph's hand shall close your eyes."

5Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
