Genesis 46
1 Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quæ habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. Et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.
2 audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
3 Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Ægyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
And he says to him, I am the God of thy fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make thee there a great nation.
4 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
And I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will bring thee up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on thine eyes.
5 Surrexit autem Iacob a Puteo iuramenti: tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris quæ miserat Pharao ad portandum senem,
And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the waggons, which Joseph sent to take them.
