And Israel journeys, and all that he has, and comes to Beer-Sheba, and sacrifices sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;

And He says, “I [am] God, God of your father, do not be afraid of going down to Egypt, for I set you there for a great nation;
4 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
I go down with you to Egypt, and I also certainly bring you up, and Joseph puts his hand on your eyes.”
