Gênesis 46:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 46:1

And Israel took his journey with all that he had
Set forward in it immediately, as soon as possible after he had resolved to take it, and with him he took all his children and grandchildren, and all his cattle and goods; which shows that he took his journey not only to see his son Joseph, but to continue in Egypt, at least during the years of famine, as his son desired he would, otherwise there would have been no occasion of taking all along with him: and came to Beersheba:
where he and his ancestors Abraham and Isaac had formerly lived; a place where sacrifices had often been offered up, and the worship of God performed, and much communion enjoyed with him. This is said to be sixteen miles from Hebron ^F14, where Jacob dwelt, and according to Musculus was six German miles from it: and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;
which were attended with prayer and praise; with praise for hearing that his son Joseph was alive, and with prayer that he might have a good, safe, and prosperous journey.

Gênesis 46:1 In-Context

1 Israel partiu com tudo o que lhe pertencia. Ao chegar a Berseba, ofereceu sacrifícios ao Deus de Isaque, seu pai.

2 E Deus falou a Israel por meio de uma visão noturna: “Jacó! Jacó!”“Eis-me aqui”, respondeu ele.

3 “Eu sou Deus, o Deus de seu pai”, disse ele. “Não tenha medo de descer ao Egito, porque lá farei de você uma grande nação.

4 Eu mesmo descerei ao Egito com você e certamente o trarei de volta. E a mão de José fechará os seus olhos”.

5 Então Jacó partiu de Berseba. Os filhos de Israel levaram seu pai, Jacó, seus filhos e as suas mulheres nas carruagens que o faraó tinha enviado.
