Joseph

God’s promise to Jacob Gen 46:1-7

Ge 46:1 ¶ And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, 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 Beersheba: 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.
