Genesis 46
1 And Israel journeys, and all that he has, and comes to Beer-Sheba, and sacrifices sacrifices 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 speaks to Israel in visions of the night and says, “Jacob, Jacob”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
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, “I [am] God, God of your father, do not be afraid of going down to Egypt, for I set you there for 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 go down with you to Egypt, and I also certainly bring you up, and Joseph puts his hand on your 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 rises from Beer-Sheba, and the sons of Israel carry away their father Jacob, and their infants, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh has 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 take their livestock, and their goods which they have acquired in the land of Canaan, and come 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, indeed, all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.
