Genesis 46

vayyissa yisra'el vekhol-asher-lo vayyavo be'erah shava vayyizbakh zevakhim lelohe aviv yitskhaq

So Israel set out with all that was his, and he came to Beer-sheba, where he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

vayyomer elohim leyisra'el bemarot hallaylah vayyomer ya'aqov ya'aqov vayyomer hinneni

God called to Israel in a vision by night: “Jacob! Jacob!” He answered, “Here.”

vayyomer anokhi ha'el elohe avikha al-tira meredah mitsraymah ki-legoy gadol asimekha sham

“I am God, the God of your father. Fear not to go down to Egypt, for I will make you there into a great nation.

anokhi ered immekha mitsraymah ve'anokhi a'alkha gam-aloh veyosef yashit yado al-enekha

I Myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I Myself will also bring you back; and Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.”

So Jacob set out from Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel put their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to transport him;

vayyiqkhu et-miqnehem ve'et-rekhusham asher rakheshu be'erets kena'an vayyavo'u mitsrayemah ya'aqov vekhol-zaro itto

and they took along their livestock and the wealth that they had amassed in the land of Canaan. Thus Jacob and all his offspring with him came to Egypt:

banayw uvene vanayw itto benotayw uvenot banayw vekhol-zaro hevi itto mitsrayemah

he brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.

He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph, to point the way before him to Goshen. So when they came to the region of Goshen,

Joseph ordered his chariot and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel; he presented himself to him and, embracing him around the neck, he wept on his neck a good while.

Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now I can die, having seen for myself that you are still alive.”
