Journey to Goshen: Jacob's Reunion with Joseph and the Settlement in Egypt | Immerse Day 100

In today's episode of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience, we recount the emotional reunion between Jacob and his son Joseph as they and the rest of Jacob's family arrive in Egypt, settling in the region of Goshen. Joseph presents his family to Pharaoh, securing their settlement and provision during a severe famine. As Jacob's life nears its end, he makes Joseph swear to bury him in Canaan and blesses Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, in a significant reversal of blessings. The narrative highlights themes of family, survival, and faith amidst adversity.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
