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