Genesis 46:1-7

1Israel moved with all he had. When he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

2God spoke to Israel in a vision that night and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” “Here I am,” he answered.

3“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will make you a great nation there.

4I will go with you to Egypt, and I will make sure you come back again. Joseph will close your eyes ⌞when you die⌟.”

5So Jacob left Beersheba. Israel’s sons put their father Jacob, their children, and their wives in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to bring him back.

6They also took their livestock and the possessions they had accumulated in Canaan. Jacob and all his family arrived in Egypt.

7He had brought his sons, his grandsons, his daughters, and his granddaughters—his entire family.
