1. So Israel journeyed with all that he had, and he 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 the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.
4. I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I myself will also bring you up. And Joseph will place his hand over your eyes.”
5. So Jacob arose from Beersheba. And the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, and their little ones and their wives in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to transport him.
