Genesis 46:4
Excerpted from: What You Feel vs. What You Believe

God’s final word for Jacob was that He promised to go with him as he went to Egypt, to be with him even in death, and eventually to bring his body back to Canaan, the land of promise.

After Jacob’s descendants spent generations in Egypt, Jacob's body would be brought back to Canaan and buried in the cave where Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Leah had been buried, where they await their resurrection (see Genesis 50:1-14).

Genesis 46:1-4
Excerpted from: What You Feel vs. What You Believe

There is a similar call of Jacob. Jacob had started down to Egypt to see Joseph, but he had paused at Beersheba, being fearful of what might lie ahead.

God reassured him: “Jacob! Jacob!” “Here I am,” he replied. This revelation was all Jacob needed. The next verses picture him going on his way confidently and we do not read of his being fearful ever again.

Genesis 46:2-4
Excerpted from: God's Creation and Our Works

That was a very gentle way of telling Jacob that he was going to die there, and Joseph would close his eyelids.
