Jacob Moves to Egypt

1So IsraelH3478 setH5265 out with allH3605 that he had, and cameH935 to 1BeershebaH884, and offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 to the 2GodH430 of his fatherH1 IsaacH3327. 23GodH430 spokeH559 to IsraelH3478 4in visionsH4759 of the nightH3915 and saidH559, “5JacobH3290, JacobH3290.” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 I am.” 3He saidH559, “6I am GodH410, the GodH430 of your fatherH1; do not be afraidH3372 to goH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714, for I will 7makeH7760 you a greatH1419 nationH1471 thereH8033. 48I will goH3381 downH3381 with you to EgyptH4714, and 9I will alsoH1571 surelyH5927 bringH5927 you up againH3254; and 10JosephH3130 will 11closeH7896H3027 your eyesH5869.”

5Then JacobH3290 aroseH6965 from BeershebaH884; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 carriedH5375 their fatherH1 JacobH3290 and their littleH2945 onesH2945 and their wivesH802 in the 12wagonsH5699 whichH834 PharaohH6547 had sentH7971 to carryH5375 him. 6They tookH3947 their livestockH4735 and their propertyH7399, whichH834 they had acquiredH7408 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and 13cameH935 to EgyptH4714, JacobH3290 and allH3605 his 14descendantsH2233 with him: 7his sonsH1121 and his grandsonsH1121 with him, his daughtersH1323 and his granddaughtersH1323H1121, and allH3605 his 15descendantsH2233 he broughtH935 with him to EgyptH4714.
