2 audivit eum per visionem nocte vocantem se et dicentem sibi Iacob Iacob cui respondit ecce adsum
And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."

He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.

I will go down with you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
