Jacob Goes to Egypt

46 So Israel^(A) set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba,^(B) he offered sacrifices^(C) to the God of his father Isaac.^(D)

⁴² If the God of my father,^(A) the God of Abraham^(B) and the Fear of Isaac,^(C) had not been with me,^(D) you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands,^(E) and last night he rebuked you.^(F)”

¹³ There above it^[a] stood the Lord,^(A) and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.^(B) I will give you and your descendants the land^(C) on which you are lying.^(D)

Jacob’s Dream at Bethel

¹⁰ Jacob left Beersheba^(A) and set out for Harran.^(B)

²² He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth,^[a](A) saying, “Now the Lord has given us room^(B) and we will flourish^(C) in the land.”

²³ From there he went up to Beersheba.^{(D) 24} That night the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham.^(E) Do not be afraid,^(F) for I am with you;^(G) I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants^(H) for the sake of my servant Abraham.”^(I)

²⁵ Isaac built an altar^(J) there and called on the name of the Lord.^(K) There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.^(L)

³³ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree^(A) in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord,^(B) the Eternal God.^(C)

³¹ So that place was called Beersheba,^[a](A) because the two men swore an oath^(B) there.

¹⁴ Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.^(A) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.^(B)

⁸ So now take seven bulls and seven rams^(A) and go to my servant Job^(B) and sacrifice a burnt offering^(C) for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer^(D) and not deal with you according to your folly.^(E) You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”^(F)
