Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 45
²⁴ So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, "See that you do not become troubled along the way."
²⁵ Then they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
²⁶ And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt." And Jacob’s heart stood still, because he did not believe them.
²⁷ But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
²⁸ Then Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
Genesis 46
¹ So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
² Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" And he said, "Here I am."
³ So He said, "I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there.
⁴ I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes."
⁵ Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the carts which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
⁶ So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him.
