Jasher 55 — The Descent into Goshen and the Storehouse of the Seed

Book of Jasher · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And it came to pass after this that Jacob said, I will go and see my son in Egypt and will then come back to the land of Canaan of which Elohim (God) had spoken to Abraham, for I cannot leave the land of my birth-place.

2Behold the word of Yahuah (the Lord) came to him, saying, Go down to Egypt with all your household and remain there, fear not to go down to Egypt for I will there make you a great nation.

3And Jacob said within himself, I will go and see my son whether the fear of his Elohim is yet in his heart amidst all the inhabitants of Egypt.

4And Yahuah (the Lord) said to Jacob, Fear not about Joseph, for he still retains his integrity to serve me, as will seem good in your sight, and Jacob rejoiced exceedingly concerning his son.
