Genesis 46
GEN 46:1 And Israel journeyeth, and all that he hath, and cometh in to
Beer-Sheba, and sacrificeth sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;
GEN 46:2 and God speaketh to Israel in visions of the night, and saith, `Jacob,
Jacob;' and he saith, `Here `am' I.'
GEN 46:3 And He saith, `I `am' God, God of thy father, be not afraid of going
down to Egypt, for for a great nation I set thee there;

up, and Joseph doth put his hand on thine eyes.'

Jacob their father, And their infants, and their wives, in the waggons which

cattle; and their flock, and their herd, and all that they have, they have
brought.'

What `are' your works?

youth, even until now, both we and our fathers, -- in order that ye may dwell in
the land of Goshen, for the abomination of the Egyptians is every one feeding a
flock.'
