Genesis 46
1 And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there 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 He heard him by a vision in the night calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am.
Men Gud sagde i et Nattesyn til Israel: »Jakob, Jakob!« Og han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
3 God said to him: I am the most mighty God of thy father: fear not, go down into Egypt, for I will make a great nation of thee there.
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 thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes.
jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil ogsaa føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!«
