Jacob’s Journey to Egypt
1 So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to aBeersheba, and offered sacrifices bto the God of his father Isaac.
2 Then God spoke to Israel ain the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” And he said, “Here I am.”
3 So He said, “I am God, athe God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will bmake of you a great nation there.
4 aI will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bbring you up again; and cJoseph will put his hand on your eyes.”
5 Then aJacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the1 carts bwhich Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6 So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, aJacob and all his descendants with him.
7 His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.
8 Now athese were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: bReuben was Jacob’s firstborn.
9 The asons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
