2God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!" He said, "Here I am."
3He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Don`t be afraid to go down into Egypt; for there I will make of you a great nation.
4I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your eyes."
5Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6They 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,
7his sons, and his sons` sons with him, his daughters, and his sons` daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
8These are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob`s firstborn.
