Israel is taking his journey


Leaving the land of Canaan

Leaving with all that he has (1)

Stops at Beersheba to offer sacrifices to God (a place familiar to him)


God speaks to Jacob in a visions of the night


More than one(?)

Not a dream but a vision

God called him twice (pay attention) only good response is here I am (I am available)


What God says in the vision


Identifies Himself - I am the God of your father Isaac

Offers Comfort - Do not be Afraid to go down to Egypt

Reminds of Promise - I will make you a great nation

Instills Confidence - I myself will go down with you to Egypt

Provides a Future - I will also bring you up again (go down to Egypt, go up out of Egypt)

Provides Relief - Joseph’s hand will close your eyes - that day that you did not think was coming, thought your favorite son had perished, but he will be by your side until the end of your days
