Rashbam on Genesis
אעלך גם עלה, G’d meant that He would both descend with Yaakov to Egypt and also return with him to the Holy Land. The single expression גם serving as preposition for two activities, also occurs in Exodus 12,32 וברכתם גם אותי, when Pharaoh asked Moses to bless him as well as the Jewish people when they would offer sacrifices to their G’d.

Sforno on Genesis
אעלך גם עלה. Not only will I bring you out of Egypt (in a coffin) to be buried in the Holy Land, but I will also bring your numerous descendants out of there to a good land flowing with milk and honey (the land of Cannan) as we know from G’d’s promise to Moses in Exodus 3,8.
