Chapter 46

1So Yisrael set out with all that was his, and he came to Be'er Sheva, where he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Yitzchak.

2Hashem called to Yisrael in a vision by night: “Yaakov! Yaakov!” He answered, “Here.”

3And He said, “I am Hashem, the God of your father. Fear not to go down to Egypt, for I will make you there into a great nation.

5So Yaakov set out from Be'er Sheva. The sons of Yisrael put their father Yaakov and their children and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to transport him;

6and they took along their livestock and the wealth that they had amassed in the land of Canaan. Thus Yaakov and all his offspring with him came to Egypt:

8These are the names of the Israelites, Yaakov and his descendants, who came to Egypt. Yaakov's first-born Reuven;

28He had sent Yehuda ahead of him to Yosef, to point the way before him to Goshen. So when they came to the region of Goshen,

29Yosef ordered his chariot and went to Goshen to meet his father Yisrael; he presented himself to him and, embracing him around the neck, he wept on his neck a good while.

31Then Yosef said to his brothers and to his father's household, “I will go up and tell the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
