Da brød Israel op med alt, hvad han havde, og drog til Be'ersjeba, og han slagtede Ofre for sin Fader Isaks Gud.

Da brød Jakob op fra Be'ersjeba; og Israels Sønner satte deres Fader Jakob og deres Børn og Kvinder på de Vogne, Farao havde sendt til at hente ham på.

Og de tog deres Kvæg og al deres Ejendom, som de havde erhvervet sig i Kana'ans Land, og drog til Ægypten, Jakob og alt hans Afkom med ham;

således bragte han sine Sønner og Sønnesønner, sine Døtre og Sønnedøtre og alt sit Afkom med sig til Ægypten.
