Genesis 46 opens with these words: “Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.” The line to keep is Genesis 46:1: “Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.” Carry the word “israel” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Genesis 46 is a real chapter from the Old Testament.

The line worth learning out loud is Genesis 46:1: “Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Genesis 46? Then try this: Read “Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his…” once more.
