Genesis 46:1 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. — Genesis 46:1
Even as to those events and undertakings which appear most joyful, we should seek counsel, assistance, and a blessing from the Lord. Attending on his ordinances, and receiving the pledges of his covenant love, we expect his presence, and that peace which it confers. In all removals we should be reminded of our removal out of this world. Nothing can encourage us to fear no evil when passing through the valley of the shadow of death, but the presence of Christ.
