創世記 46
1 以色列帶着一切所有的，起身來到別是巴，就獻祭給他父親以撒的上帝。
And Israel, setting out with all that he had, arrived at the Well of the Oath. And sacrificing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
2 夜間，上帝在異象中對以色列說：「雅各！雅各！」他說：「我在這裏。」
he heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: “Jacob, Jacob.” And he answered him, “Behold, here I am.”
3 上帝說：「我是上帝，就是你父親的上帝。你下埃及去不要害怕，因為我必使你在那裏成為大族。
God said to him: “I am the most strong God of your father. Do not be afraid. Descend into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
4 我要和你同下埃及去，也必定帶你上來；約瑟必給你送終。」
I will descend with you to that place, and I will lead you back from there, returning. Also, Joseph will place his hands over your eyes.
5 雅各就從別是巴起行。以色列的兒子們使他們的父親雅各和他們的妻子、兒女都坐在法老為雅各送來的車上。

And these honorable men are pastors of sheep, and they have the task of feeding the flock. Their cattle, and herds, and all that they were able to hold, they have brought with them.’

And when he will call you and will say, ‘What is your work?’
34 你們要說：『你的僕人，從幼年直到如今，都以養牲畜為業，連我們的祖宗也都以此為業。』這樣，你們可以住在歌珊地，因為凡牧羊的都被埃及人所厭惡。」
You will respond, ‘Your servants are pastors of honor, from our infancy even to the present time, both we and our fathers.’ Now you will say this so that you may be able to live in the land of Goshen, because the Egyptians detest all pastors of sheep.”
