Genesis 46:1-4

Good News Translation

Jacob and His Family Go to Egypt

46 Jacob packed up all he had and went to Beersheba, where he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. ² God spoke to him in a vision at night and called, “Jacob, Jacob!”

“Yes, here I am,” he answered.

³ “I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go to Egypt; I will make your descendants a great nation there. ⁴ I will go with you to Egypt, and I will bring your descendants back to this land. Joseph will be with you when you die.”
