3 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.
神は言われた、「わたしは神、あなたの父の神である。エジプトに下るのを恐れてはならない。わたしはあそこであなたを大いなる国民にする。
4 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.
