1 And he set out Israel and all that [belonged] to him and he came Beer towards Sheba and he sacrificed sacrifices to [the] God of father his Isaac.
So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
2 And he said God - to Israel in [the] visions of the night and he said O Jacob - Jacob and he said here [am] I.
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 And he said I [am] the God [the] God of father your may not you be afraid from going down Egypt towards for into a nation great I will make you there.
God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
4 I I will go down with you Egypt towards and I I will bring up you also completely and Joseph he will put hand his over eyes your.
I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
