וּנְטַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל דִּי לֵיהּ וַאֲתָא לִבְאֵר שָׁבַע וּדְבַח דִּבְחִין לֵאלָהֵהּ אֲבוּהִי יִצְחָק:
Yisrael journeyed with all that he possessed, and he came to Beer Sheva. He offered sacrifices [there] to the God of his father Yitzchok.
וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּחֶזְוֵי דְלֵילְיָא וַאֲמַר יַעֲקֹב יַעֲקֹב וַאֲמַר הָא אֲנָא:
Elohim said to Yisrael in a night vision, and He said, Yaakov, Yaakov. And he said, Here I am.
וַאֲמַר אֲנָא אֵל אֱלָהָא דְאָבוּךְ לָא תִדְחַל מִלְּמֵיחַת לְמִצְרַיִם אֲרֵי לְעַם סַגִּי אֲשַׁוִּנָּךְ תַּמָּן:
He said I am the Almighty, God of your father. Do not be afraid to do down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
אֲנָא אֵחוֹת עִמָּךְ לְמִצְרַיִם וַאֲנָא אַסֵּקִנָּךְ אַף אַסָּקָא וְיוֹסֵף יְשַׁוֵּי יְדוֹהִי עַל עֵינָיךְ:
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again. Yoseif shall place his hand upon your eyes.
