up again." Reading God's promise to Jacob in to go down with him to Egypt, a Midrash taught that God's promise was to go with Jacob and with all who are righteous like Jacob. Thus, God promised to accompany all the righteous into exile, just as God accompanied Jacob. Similarly, the Sages read God's parallel use of the pronoun "I" (, Anochi, as opposed to , Ani) in and to teach that just as with an "I" (, Anochi) Israel went down to Egypt, as reports, "I (, Anochi) will go down with you into Egypt," also with an "I" (, Anochi) would God take Israel out, as reports, "That I (, Anochi) have sent you." And the Sages said that the use of "I" (, Anochi) was also symbolic of the latter redemption, for with an "I" (, Anochi) will the Jews be healed and redeemed, as says, "Behold, "I (, Anochi) will send you Elijah the prophet." Rabbi Haggai said in Rabbi Isaac's name that God's promise to Jacob in , "I will surely bring you up again," only applied if "Joseph shall put his hand upon your eyes"—that is, take care of Jacob in life and in death. Rabbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina cited , "I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again (, gam aloh)," for the proposition that if one sees a camel (, gamal) in a dream, Heaven had decreed death for the dreamer, but had delivered the dreamer from that fate.

Reading , "For this commandment that I command you this day . . . is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart," a Midrash interpreted "heart" and "mouth" to symbolize the beginning and end of fulfilling a precept and thus read as an exhortation to complete a good deed once started. Thus Rabbi Hiyya bar Abba taught that if one begins a precept and does not complete it, the result will be that he will bury his wife and children. The Midrash cited as support for this proposition the experience of Judah, who began a precept
