1. So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2. God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
3. He said, "I am God, 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 will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph will close your eyes."
5. Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
