Listening A1: Genesis Chapter 1 - Genesis 46

God said, "I will make you a big people there."

God said, "I will go with you to Egypt and I will bring you back again."

God said, "Joseph will close your eyes when you die."

Joseph got his wagon ready and went to meet his father Israel in Goshen.

Joseph came to him, hugged him, and cried on his neck for a long time.

Israel said to Joseph, "Now I can die, for I have seen your face and know you live."

Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's house, "I will go to Pharaoh and tell him that my brothers and my father's house from Canaan have come to me."

Joseph said, "They are shepherds, because they keep sheep and cows, and they brought their flocks and herds and all their things."

Joseph said, "When Pharaoh calls you and asks, What do you do? you must say, We keep cattle from when we were young until now, me and our fathers."

Joseph said, "Then Pharaoh will let you live in Goshen, because the Egyptians hate shepherds."
