Dual Panel1So Israel <03478> began <05265> his journey <05265>, taking with him all <03605> that <0834> he had. When he came <0935> to Beer Sheba <0884> he offered <02076> sacrifices <02077> to the God <0430> of his father <01> Isaac <03327>.
2God <0430> spoke <0559> to Israel <03478> in a vision <04759> during the night <03915> and said <0559>, “Jacob <03290>, Jacob <03290>!” He replied <0559>, “Here <02009> I am!”
3He said <0559>, “I <0595> am God <0410>, the God <0430> of your father <01>. Do not <0408> be afraid <03372> to go down <03381> to Egypt <04714>, for <03588> I will make <07760> you into a great <01419> nation <01471> there <08033>.

5Then Jacob <03290> started out <06965> from Beer Sheba <0884>, and the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> carried <05375> their father <01> Jacob <03290>, their little children <02945>, and their wives <0802> in the wagons <05699> that <0834> Pharaoh <06547> had sent <07971> along to transport <05375> him.
6Jacob <03290> and all <03605> his descendants <02233> took <03947> their livestock <04735> and the possessions <07399> they had acquired <07408> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and they went <0935> to Egypt <04714>.

27Counting the two <08147> sons <01121> of Joseph <03130> who <0834> were born <03205> to him in Egypt <04714>, all <03605> the people <05315> of the household <01004> of Jacob <03290> who were <0935> in Egypt <04714> numbered seventy <07657>.
28Jacob sent <07971> Judah <03063> before <06440> him to <0413> Joseph <03130> to accompany <03384> him to Goshen <01657>. So they came <0935> to the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>.
29Joseph <03130> harnessed <0631> his chariot <04818> and went up <05927> to meet <07125> his father <01> Israel <03478> in Goshen <01657>. When he met him, he hugged <05307> his neck <06677> and wept <01058> on <05921> his neck <06677> for quite some time <05750>.
30Israel <03478> said <0559> to <0413> Joseph <03130>, “Now <06471> let me die <04191> since <0310> I have seen <07200> your face <06440> and know that <03588> you are still <05750> alive <02416>.”
31Then Joseph <03130> said <0559> to <0413> his brothers <0251> and his father’s <01> household <01004>, “I will go up <05927> and tell <05046> Pharaoh <06547>, ‘My brothers <0251> and my father’s <01> household <01004> who <0834> were in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> have come <0935> to <0413> me.
32The men <0582> are shepherds <06629> <07462>; they take care of livestock <04735>. They have brought <0935> their flocks <06629> and their herds <01241> and all <03605> that <0834> they have.’
33Pharaoh <06547> will summon <07121> you and say <0559>, ‘What <04100> is your occupation <04639>?’
34Tell <0559> him, ‘Your servants <05650> have taken care <01961> of cattle <04735> from our youth <05271> until <05704> now <06258>, both <01571> we <0587> and <01571> our fathers <01>,’ so that <05668> you may live <03427> in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>, for <03588> everyone <03605> who takes care <07462> of sheep <06629> is disgusting <08441> to the Egyptians <04713>.”
