創世記 46
1 以色列遂帶著他所有的一切出發，來到了貝爾舍巴，向他父親依撒格的天主獻了祭，
And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.
2 當夜天主在神視中對以色列說：「雅各伯、雅各伯!」他答說：「我在這裏。」
And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 天主說：「我是天主，你父親的天主。你不要害怕下到埃及去，因為我要使你在那裏成為一大民族。
And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:
4 我與你一同下到埃及，也必使你再上來；若瑟要親手合上你的眼。」
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.
5 雅各伯遂由貝爾舍巴起程。以色列的兒子們扶自己的父親雅各伯和自己的孩子及妻子，上了法郎派來接他的車，
Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.
6 帶了家畜和在客納罕地積聚的財物，一同向埃及進發：這樣雅各伯和他所有的孩子，
And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:
7 即他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女，他的一切孩子，都一同來到了埃及。
His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.

28 雅各伯派猶大先去見若瑟，同他約定在哥笙相見。他們來到了哥笙地方，
Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.
29 若瑟套車上哥笙去迎接他父親以色列；一見了他，就撲在他頸上，抱住他的頸，哭了很久。
And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.
30 以色列對若瑟說：「我見了你的面，見你還活著，現在我可以死了! 」
And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.
31 若瑟對他的兄弟們和父親的家屬說：「我要上去呈報法郎說：我在客納罕地的兄弟們和我父親的家屬，都來到我這裏了。
And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;
32 這些人都是放羊飼畜的人；他們的羊群牛群和他們所有的一切都帶來了。
And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.
33 所以，當法郎召見你們，問你們有何職業時，
Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?
34 你們要答說：你的僕人們自幼直到現在，都是牧養牲畜的人，我們和我們的祖先都是如此。這樣你們才能住在哥笙地方，因為埃及人厭惡一切牧羊的人。」
You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
