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.

2God spoke to Israel through night visions, addressing him, "Jacob! Jacob!" "Here I am!" Jacob replied.

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

3"I'm God, your father's God. Don't be afraid to move down to Egypt, because I'm going to turn you into a mighty nation there.

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'm going down with you to Egypt, and I'm certainly going to bring you back again. And Joseph himself will be with you when you die."

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