Genesis 46:5

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.
