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;
Ale Israel dze mɔ kple eƒe nuwo katã, eye esi wòva ɖo Beerseba la, esa vɔ na fofoa Isak ƒe Mawu.
2 and God speaks to Israel in visions of the night and says, “Jacob, Jacob”; and he says, “Here I [am].”
Le zã me la, Mawu ƒo nu na Israel le ŋutega me. Mawu yɔe be, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob tɔ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
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;
Gbe la gblɔ be, “Nyee nye Mawu, fofowò ƒe Mawu, mègavɔ̃ na Egipte yiyi o, elabena mana nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe le afi ma.
4 I go down with you to Egypt, and I also certainly bring you up, and Joseph puts his hand on your eyes.”

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,
