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.

IMMIGRATION TO EGYPT. (Gen. 46:5-27)

And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba—to cross the border and settle in Egypt. However refreshed and invigorated in spirit by the religious services at Beer-sheba, he was now borne down by the infirmities of advanced age; and, therefore, his sons undertook all the trouble and toil of the arrangements, while the enfeebled old patriarch, with the wives and children, was conveyed by slow and leisurely stages in the Egyptian vehicles sent for their accommodation.
