イスラエルはその持ち物をことごとく携えて旅立ち、ベエルシバに行って、父イサクの神に犠牲をささげた。
2 And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
この時、神は夜の幻のうちにイスラエルに語って言われた、「ヤコブよ、ヤコブよ」。彼は言った、「ここにいます」。
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.
神は言われた、「わたしは神、あなたの父の神である。エジプトに下るのを恐れてはならない。わたしはあそこであなたを大いなる国民にする。
4 I will go down with you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
わたしはあなたと一緒にエジプトに下り、また必ずあなたを導き上るであろう。ヨセフが手ずからあなたの目を閉じるであろう」。
