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.
Da brød Israel op med alt, hvad han havde, og drog til Be'ersjeba, og han slagtede Ofre for sin Fader Isaks Gud.
2 And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
Men Gud sagde i et Nattesyn til Israel: »Jakob, Jakob!« Og han svarede: »Se, her er jeg!«
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.
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 you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil ogsaa føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!«
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.
Da brød Jakob op fra Be'ersjeba; og Israels Sønner satte deres Fader Jakob og deres Børn og Kvinder paa de Vogne, Farao havde sendt til at hente ham paa.
6 So they took their livestock and their possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and arrived in Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him,
Og de tog deres Kvæg og al deres Ejendom, som de havde erhvervet sig i Kana'ans Land, og drog til Ægypten, Jakob og alt hans Afkom med ham;
7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and he brought all his descendants with him to Egypt.
saaledes bragte han sine Sønner og Sønnesønner, sine Døtre og Sønnedøtre og alt sit Afkom med sig til Ægypten.
