Jacob Comes to Egypt
1 | And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. |
2 | And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. |
3 | And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: |
4 | I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. |
5 | And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. |
6 | And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him: |
7 | His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. |
