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 took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices 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。」
And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob: and he said, Here [am] I.
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。
And he said, I [am] God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee 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 go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up [again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
