Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 45
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.
⁷ His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.
⁸ Now these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn.
⁹ The sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
¹⁰ The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.
