Read Genesis 46 in full →Jacob Moves to Egypt
46So Israel set out with all that he had and came to aBeersheba and offered sacrifices to the bGod of his father Isaac. 2aAnd God spoke to Israel 1in visions of the night and said, “bJacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” 3And He said, “aI am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will bmake you a great nation there. 4“aI Myself will go down with you to Egypt, and bI Myself will also bring you up again; and cJoseph will 1close your eyes with his hand.”
5Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the awagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6And they took their livestock and their possessions, which they had accumulated in the land of Canaan, and they acame to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him: 7his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his seed he brought with him to Egypt.
