Genesis 46:1-7

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

²And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.

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

⁴I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”

⁵Then Jacob departed from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and wives.

⁶They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.

⁷Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters — all his offspring.
