1. And Israel, setting out with all that he had, arrived at the Well of the Oath. And sacrificing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
2. he heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: "Jacob, Jacob." And he answered him, "Behold, here I am."
3. God said to him: "I am the most strong God of your father. Do not be afraid. Descend into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
4. I will descend with you to that place, and I will lead you back from there, returning. Also, Joseph will place his hands over your eyes.
5. Then Jacob rose up from the Well of the Oath. And his sons took him, with their little ones and wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry the old man,
6. along with all that he possessed in the land of Canaan. And he arrived in Egypt with all his offspring:
7. his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and all his progeny together.
8. Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who entered into Egypt, he with his children. The firstborn is Reuben.
9. The sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu, and Hezron and Carmi.
10. The sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad, and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.
