Genesis 46
1 So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quæ habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. Et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
2 And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
3 He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Ægyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
5 Then Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, and their little ones, and their wives on the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
