So Israel brake up, with all that he had, and came in to Beer-sheba, —and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God said to Israel in the visions of the night, and he said—Jacob! Jacob! And he said—Behold me!
3 Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Aegyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
And he said: I, am GOD himself, the God of thy father, —Be not afraid of going down to Egypt, seeing that for a great nation, will I plant thee there.
4 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will bring thee up, yea wholly up, —and, Joseph, shall lay his own hand upon thine eyes.
