Worship at Beersheba

1So Israel set out with all that belonged to him and came to Beersheba, and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

2And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”

3And he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.”

4I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I myself will also surely bring you up; and Joseph will place his hand on your eyes.

5Then Jacob set out from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

6They took their livestock and their possessions that they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and they came to Egypt—Jacob and all his offspring with him.

7His sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his offspring he brought with him to Egypt.
