1. So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2. And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”
3. Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
4. I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.”
