²audivit eum per visionem nocte vocantem se et dicentem sibi Iacob Iacob cui respondit ecce adsum

³ait illi Deus ego sum Fortissimus Deus patris tui noli timere et descende in Aegyptum quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi

⁴ego descendam tecum illuc et ego inde adducam te revertentem Ioseph quoque ponet manum suam super oculos tuos

Genesis 46 chronicles Jacob's journey to Egypt, a pivotal moment in the unfolding covenant narrative. After receiving divine assurance and a promise of God's presence, Jacob descends with his entire household. The chapter meticulously lists the seventy members of Jacob's family who entered Egypt, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promise to multiply Abraham's descendants. The reunion of Jacob and Joseph is a deeply emotional climax, marking the end of a long separation and setting the stage for the Israelites' sojourn in Egypt.
