1 Mosebog 46
1 Da brød Israel op med alt, hvad han havde, og drog til Be'ersjeba, og han slagtede Ofre for sin Fader Isaks Gud.
So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
2 Men Gud sagde i et Nattesyn til Israel: »Jakob, Jakob!« Og han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Da sagde han: »Jeg er Gud, din Faders Gud, vær ikke bange for at drage ned til Ægypten, thi jeg vil gøre dig til et stort Folk der;
God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
4 jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil ogsaa føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!«
I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
5 Da brød Jakob op fra Be'ersjeba; og Israels Sønner satte deres Fader Jakob og deres Børn og Kvinder paa de Vogne, Farao havde sendt til at hente ham paa.
Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
6 Og de tog deres Kvæg og al deres Ejendom, som de havde erhvervet sig i Kana'ans Land, og drog til Ægypten, Jakob og alt hans Afkom med ham;
So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
7 saaledes bragte han sine Sønner og Sønnesønner, sine Døtre og Sønnedøtre og alt sit Afkom med sig til Ægypten.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.

28 Men Juda sendte han i Forvejen til Josef, for at man skulde vise ham Vej til Gosen, og de kom til Gosens Land.
Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
29 Da lod Josef spænde for sin Vogn og rejste sin Fader i Møde til Gosen; og da han traf ham, omfavnede han ham og græd længe i hans Arme;
Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
30 og Israel sagde til Josef: »Lad mig nu kun dø, da jeg har set dit Ansigt, at du endnu lever!«
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Men Josef sagde til sine Brødre og sin Faders Hus: »Jeg vil drage hen og melde det til Farao og sige til ham: Mine Brødre og min Faders Hus i Kana'an er kommet til mig;
Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
32 disse Mænd er Hyrder, thi de driver Kvægavl, og de har bragt deres Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg og alt, hvad de ejer, med.
The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
33 Naar saa Farao lader eder kalde og spørger eder, hvad I er,
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 skal I sige: Dine Trælle har drevet Kvægavl fra Barnsben af ligesom vore Fædre! for at I kan komme til at bo i Gosens Land. Thi enhver Hyrde er Ægypterne en Vederstyggelighed.«
answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
