  1. Genesis 47:7 Or greeted

And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

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:

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.

And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: 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.

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:

His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

And God spoke to Israel(A) in a vision at night(B) and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”

“Here I am,”(C) he replied.

“I am God, the God of your father,”(D) he said. “Do not be afraid(E) to go down to Egypt,(F) for I will make you into a great nation(G) there.(H) I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.(I) And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.(J)

Then Jacob left Beersheba,(K) and Israel’s(L) sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts(M) that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt,(N) taking with them their livestock and the possessions(O) they had acquired(P) in Canaan. Jacob brought with him to Egypt(Q) his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.(R)

10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:

11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
