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 brake up, with all that he had, and came in to Beer-sheba, —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 said to Israel in the visions of the night, and he said—Jacob! Jacob! And he said—Behold me!
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 himself, the God of thy father, —Be not afraid of going down to Egypt, seeing that for a great nation, will I plant thee 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 thee to Egypt, and I will bring thee up, yea wholly up, —and, Joseph, shall lay his own hand upon thine 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，
