3 Then God said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will make your descendants a great nation there.
4 I will go to Egypt with you, and I will bring you out of Egypt again. Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes when you die.”
5 Then Jacob left Beersheba. The sons of Israel loaded their father, their children, and their wives in the wagons the king of Egypt had sent.
6 They also took their farm animals and everything they had gotten in Canaan. So Jacob went to Egypt with all his descendants—
7 his sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters. He took all his family to Egypt with him.
8 Now these are the names of the children of Israel who went into Egypt (Jacob and his descendants).Reuben was Jacob’s first son.
9 Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
