Genesis 46
1 Israel made his journey with all that he had and went to Beersheba. There he 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 God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, saying, “Jacob, Jacob.” 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 fear to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you 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 will surely bring you up again and Joseph will close your eyes with his own hand.”
jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil også føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!"
5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba. The sons of Israel transported Jacob their father, their children, and their wives, in the carts that 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 på de Vogne, Farao havde sendt til at hente ham på.
6 They took their livestock and their possessions that they had accumulated in the land of Canaan. They came into 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 He brought with him to Egypt his sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his sons' daughters, and all his descendants.
således bragte han sine Sønner og Sønnesønner, sine Døtre og Sønnedøtre og alt sit Afkom med sig til Ægypten.

29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He saw him, hugged his neck, and wept on his neck a long time.
Da lod Josef spænde for sin Vogn og rejste sin Fader i Møde til Gosen; og da han traf ham, omfavnede han ham og græd længe i hans Arme;

32 The men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock. They have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.'
disse Mænd er Hyrder, thi de driver Kvægavl, og de har bragt deres Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og alt, hvad de ejer, med.

Når så Farao lader eder kalde og spørger eder, hvad I er,
34 that you should say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth until now, both we, and our forefathers.' Do this so that you may live in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”
skal I sige: Dine Trælle har drevet Kvægavl fra Barnsben af ligesom vore Fædre! for at I kan komme til at bo i Gosens Land. Thi enhver Hyrde er Ægypterne en Vederstyggelighed."
