46:1 So Israel began his journey, taking with him all that he had. 1 When he came to Beer Sheba 2 he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 46:2 God spoke to Israel in a vision during the night 3 and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He replied, “Here I am!” 46:3 He said, “I am God, 4 the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. 46:4 I will go down with you to Egypt and I myself will certainly bring you back from there. 5 Joseph will close your eyes.” 6
46:5 Then Jacob started out 7 from Beer Sheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little children, and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent along to transport him. 46:6 Jacob and all his descendants took their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and they went to Egypt. 8 46:7 He brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, 9 his daughters and granddaughters – all his descendants.
46:8 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt – Jacob and his sons:

46:25 These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter. She bore these to Jacob, seven in all.
46:26 All the direct descendants of Jacob who went to Egypt with him were sixty-six in number. (This number does not include the wives of Jacob’s sons.) 17 46:27 Counting the two sons 18 of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, all the people of the household of Jacob who were in Egypt numbered seventy. 19
46:28 Jacob 20 sent Judah before him to Joseph to accompany him to Goshen. 21 So they came to the land of Goshen. 46:29 Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. When he met him, 22 he hugged his neck and wept on his neck for quite some time.
46:30 Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.” 23 46:31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and his father’s household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh, 24 ‘My brothers and my father’s household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me. 46:32 The men are shepherds; 25 they take care of livestock. 26 They have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.’ 46:33 Pharaoh will summon you and say, ‘What is your occupation?’ 46:34 Tell him, ‘Your servants have taken care of cattle 27 from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen, 28 for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting 29 to the Egyptians.”
1:14 God said, “Let there be lights 30 in the expanse 31 of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs 32 to indicate seasons and days and years, 1:15 and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” It was so.
4:24 If Cain is to be avenged seven times as much,
then Lamech seventy-seven times!” 33
4:1 Now 34 the man had marital relations with 35 his wife Eve, and she became pregnant 36 and gave birth to Cain. Then she said, “I have created 37 a man just as the Lord did!” 38
5:12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel.
30:12 Then Leah’s servant Zilpah gave Jacob another son. 40

133:1 Look! How good and how pleasant it is
when brothers live together! 43
3:9 Know for sure that I will then enable
the nations to give me acceptable praise. 45
All of them will invoke the Lord’s name when they pray, 46
and will worship him in unison. 47
1:27 Only conduct yourselves 48 in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that – whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent – I should hear that 49 you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, 50
