2 And God spake unto Israel in a vision by night, saying, Jacob, Jacob. Who answered, I am here.
3 Then he said, I am God, the God of thy father, fear not to go down into Egypt: for I will there make of thee a great nation.
4 I will [a]go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also [b]bring thee up again, and Joseph shall [c]put his hand upon thine eyes.
