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，
So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices 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 spoke to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
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。
He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
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 into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
