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

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

“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.
4 Nga ac wi kom som nu Egypt, ac nga fah folokonma fwilin tulik nutum nu in facl se inge. Joseph el ac fah oasr yurum ke pacl se kom ac misa.”
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
