1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba , and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac  2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night , and said , Jacob , Jacob . And he said  3 And he said , I [am] God , the God of your father : fear not to go down into Egypt ; for I will there make of you a great nation  4 I will go down with you into Egypt and I will also surely bring you up [again]: and Joseph will put his hand on your 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  6 And they took their cattle , and their goods , which they have gotten in the land of Canaan , and came into Egypt , Jacob , and all his seed  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  8 And these [are] the names of the children of Israel , which came into Egypt , Jacob and his sons : Reuben , Jacob's firstborn  9 And the sons of Reuben ; Hanoch , and Phallu , and Hezron , and Carmi  10 And the sons of Simeon ; Jemuel , and Jamin , and Ohad , and Jachin , and Zohar , and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish  11 And the sons of Levi ; Gershon , Kohas , and Merari  12 And the sons of Judah ; Er , and Onan , and Shelah , and Pharez , and Zerah : but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan .
