1So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

2And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.

3“I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

4I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
