Genesis 46
1 And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to 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 spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
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 says to him, I am the God of thy fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make thee there 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 And I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will bring thee up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on 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 the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the waggons, which Joseph sent to take them.
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 up their goods, and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Chanaan; they came into the land of 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 The sons, and the sons of his sons with him; [his] daughters, and the daughters of his daughters; and he brought all his seed 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。
