Genesis 46:1-5 And Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. And he said, I am God, the God of your father. Fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will there make of you a great nation. I will go down with you into Egypt and I will also surely bring you up again. And Joseph shall put his hand upon your eyes.(Joseph was already in Egypt and in the highest postion there under the king and could hardly wait to see his dad, who was on his way there). And Jacob rose up from Beersheba. And the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

Benjamin was youngest son of Jacob (Jacob's name was changed to Israel) by Rachel:.Genesis 35:18. Benjamin's mother died in giving him birth and with her last breath named him Ben-oni, son of my pain, a name which was changed by his father into Benjamin, meaning 'son of my right hand'. His posterity are called Benjamites. Benjamin got together with Judah his brother and all their descendents.split off from descendents of the other 10 sons and then there was the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah.

Genesis 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born to him in Egypt, were two souls.(named Ephraim and Manasseh). All the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
Barnes Notes: All the souls that went with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his loins, were eleven sons, one daughter, fifty grandchildren and four great grandsons. In all, sixty-six. Jacob, Joseph and his two sons, Ephrain and Manesseh, are four and thus, all the souls belonging to the family of Jacob which went into Egypt were seventy. Acts 7:14 says 75. And they multiplied exceedingly:.Deuteronomy 10:22
Genesis 46:28-32 And he.(Jacob/Israel).sent Judah.(one of his twelve sons).ahead of him to Joseph to direct his face unto Goshen and they came into the land of Goshen. And Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen and presented himself unto him and he fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while. And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are yet alive. And Joseph said unto his brethren and unto his father's house, I will go up and show Pharaoh and say unto him, My brethren and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan are come unto me. These men are shepherds. Their trade has been to feed cattle and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have. 

Genesis 46:33,34 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh.(which pharaoh?).shall call you and shall say, What is your occupation? That you shall say, Our trade has been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we and also our fathers, that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Generally shepherds were bandits, stealing cattle, etc., but this pharaoh had high regard for Joseph and trusted him regarding his family being shepherds:.Genesis 41:37-44.
