And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 Nyasaye nowachone niya, “An Nyasaye ma Nyasach wuonu. Kik iluor dhi Misri, nikech anami ibedi oganda maduongʼ kuno.
And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:

I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.

And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.

You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
