Genesis 46:2

in the visions of the night A generic plural for the phenomena of dreams. The versions give the sing. For the word, cf. Numbers 12:6; 1 Samuel 3:15; Daniel 10:7-8. For revelations granted at night, cf. Genesis 20:3; Genesis 28:12 ff.

Jacob, Jacob The sentence, as it stands, is striking: "God said to Israel, -Jacob, Jacob."  " The juxtaposition of the two names "Israel" and "Jacob" may indicate the fusion of the two narratives J, which prefers "Israel," and E, which prefers "Jacob."
