Genesis 46
1 Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quae habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
audivit eum per visionem nocte vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
3 He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Aegyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”
Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Surrexit autem Iacob a Puteo iuramenti: tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris quae miserat Pharao ad portandum senem,
6 They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him,
