Genesis 31:11
And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
Cross-reference

In Exodus 3:4, God calls 'Moses! Moses!' and Moses answers 'Here I am' — the same divine-calling-by-name pattern echoing across generations.
In 1 Samuel 3:4, the LORD calls 'Samuel!' and he answers 'Here I am' — the same call-and-response motif, though Samuel doesn't yet recognize the caller.
