Israel made his journey with all that he had and went to Beersheba. There he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, saying, “Jacob, Jacob.” He said, “Here I am.”
3 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda, Katonda wa kitaawo; totya kuserengeta Misiri, kubanga ndi kufuulirayo eyo eggwanga eddene.
He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not fear to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation.
4 Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will surely bring you up again and Joseph will close your eyes with his own hand.”
