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."
