Genesis 46
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba; and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Da brød Israel op med alt, hvad han havde, og drog til Be'ersjeba, og han slagtede Ofre for sin Fader Isaks Gud.
2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here am I.
Men Gud sagde i et Nattesyn til Israel: »Jakob, Jakob!« Og han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.
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;
4 I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will also certainly bring thee up; and Joseph shall put his hand on thine eyes.
jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil ogsaa føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!«
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, on the waggons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
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.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him;
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;
7 his sons and his sons' sons with him, his daughters and his sons' daughters and all his seed he brought with him to Egypt.
saaledes bragte han sine Sønner og Sønnesønner, sine Døtre og Sønnedøtre og alt sit Afkom med sig til Ægypten.
