Genesis 46
1 Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quæ habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
So Israel left for Egypt with everything he had. When he arrived at Beersheba he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called. “I'm here,” he replied.
3 Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Ægyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
“I am God, the God of your father! Don't be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will turn you and your descendants into a great nation.
4 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
I will go to Egypt with you, and I promise to bring you back again. And Joseph will personally close your eyes when you die.”
