< Genesis 46 >
1 And Israel took his journey 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 the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Men Gud sagde i et Nattesyn til Israel: "Jakob, Jakob!" Og han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"
3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee 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 thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil også føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!"
5 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in 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 på de Vogne, Farao havde sendt til at hente ham på.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:

7 His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
