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 Phar-aoh had sent to carry him.
6. And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in
the land of Ca-na-an, 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.

Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
26. All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his
loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and
six;
27. And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two
souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were
threescore and ten.
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.
31. And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I
will go up, and shew Phar-aoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my
father's house, which were in the land of Ca-na-an, are come unto me;
32. And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle;
and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they
have.
33. And it shall come to pass, when Phar-oah shall call you, and shall
say, What is your occupation?
34. That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from
our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may
dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto
the Egyptians.
