Jacob’s Journey to Egypt

1And Israel will remove and all which is to him, and he will come to the well of the oath, and he will sacrifice sacrifices to the God of his father Isaak. 2And God will speak to Israel in a vision of the night, and he will say, Jacob! Jacob! and he will say, Behold me. 3And he will say, I am God, the God of thy father: thou shalt not fear going down to Egypt; for I will there make thee into a great nation. 4I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will raise thee up; and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

5And Jacob will rise up from the well of the oath: and the sons of Israel will take up Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh sent to take him. 6And they will take their cattle and their goods which they acquired in the land of Canaan, and they will come to Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him;

Jacob Arrives in Egypt

28And he sent Judah before him to Joseph to cast his face to Goshen, and they came to the land of Goshen. 29And Joseph will harness his chariot, and will go up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and he will be seen to him: and he will fall upon his neck, and will yet weep upon his neck. 30And Israel will say to Joseph, Now will I die, after I saw thy face, because thou art yet living. 31And Joseph will say to his brethren, and to his father's house, I will go up and announce to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren and my father's house which were in the land of Canaan, came to me. 32And the men are shepherds of sheep, for they were men of cattle; and they brought their sheep and their cattle, and all which is to them. 33And it will be when Pharaoh shall call to you and say, What your work? 34And saying, Thy servants were men of cattle from our childhood and till now; also we, also our fathers; that ye shall dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd of sheep is an abomination to the Egyptians.
