Israel and his family began the trip to Egypt. I'm sure that Israel had some reservations about this trip. God had told Isaac not to go to Egypt. He knew that Abraham had problems in that land. So God spoke to Israel at Beersheba (Gen 46:3) removing any doubt in regard to this move. God promised his faithful follower that Egypt would be the incubator for the future nations. God also promised that he would bring the people of Israel back to their inheritance. The last promise God made was that Joseph would be with him when he died. I wonder if Israel was just a little miffed that God had never told him of Joseph's life during the proceeding twenty-some years?
