Genesis 46
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
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，
2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
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。」
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:
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。
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.
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。」
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
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，
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
帶了家畜和在客納罕地積聚的財物，一同向埃及進發：這樣雅各伯和他所有的孩子，
7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
即他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女，他的一切孩子，都一同來到了埃及。

你們要答說：你的僕人們自幼直到現在，都是牧養牲畜的人，我們和我們的祖先都是如此。這樣你們才能住在哥笙地方，因為埃及人厭惡一切牧羊的人。」
