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 spake 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. ... |
28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. |
29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. |
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. |
