Genesis Chapter 46, in verse four, God does not promise to bring Jacob safely back from Egypt. The scripture here in the King James version says " I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will also surely bring thee up again, and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes." The Jewish people believe that this prophecy was fulfilled when Jacob's bones were carried back from Egypt during the time of Moses.

In Exodus, several promises made in Genesis begin to be fulfilled, particularly the promise of land and nationhood to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God's covenant with Abraham included the assurance that his descendants would become a great nation and inherit the land of Canaan, which unfolds as the Israelites are freed from slavery in Egypt and journey toward the Promised Land. Additionally, the fulfillment of the promise of blessing and multiplication of Abraham's descendants is evident as they emerge from Egypt as a sizable nation. These events mark the transition from individual promises to collective fulfillment in the formation of the Israelite nation.
