1. Israel packed up everything he owned and traveled to Beer-sheba. There he offered sacrifices to his father Isaac’s God.
2. God said to Israel in a vision at night, "Jacob! Jacob!" and he said, "I’m here."
3. He said, "I am El, your father’s God. Don’t be afraid to go down to Egypt because I will make a great nation of you there.
4. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I promise to bring you out again. Joseph will close your eyes when you die."
