Genesis 46
1 So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
以色列带着一切所有的，起身来到别是巴，就献祭给他父亲以撒的 神。
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
夜间， 神在异象中对以色列说：“雅各！雅各！”他说：“我在这里。”
3 God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
神说：“我是 神，就是你父亲的 神。你下埃及去不要害怕，因为我必使你在那里成为大族。
4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
我要和你同下埃及去，也必定带你上来；约瑟必给你送终。”
5 Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
雅各就从别是巴起行。以色列的儿子们使他们的父亲雅各和他们的妻子、儿女都坐在法老为雅各送来的车上。
6 So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
