Jacob Moves to Egypt

46 So Israel set out with all that he had and came to ^(A)Beersheba and offered sacrifices to the ^(B)God of his father Isaac. ^2 (C)And God spoke to Israel ^[a]in visions of the night and said, “^(D)Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” ³ And He said, “^(E)I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will ^(F)make you a great nation there. ^4 (G)I Myself will go down with you to Egypt, and ^(H)I Myself will also bring you up again; and ^(I)Joseph will ^[b]close your eyes with his hand.”

⁵ Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the ^(J)wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. ⁶ And they took their livestock and their possessions, which they had accumulated in the land of Canaan, and they ^(K)came to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him: ⁷ his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his seed he brought with him to Egypt.

³³ So Jacob finished commanding his sons. And he drew his feet into the bed and ^(A)breathed his last and was ^(B)gathered to his people.

^6 (A)Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
