創世記 46
1 以色列遂帶著他所有的一切出發，來到了貝爾舍巴，向他父親依撒格的天主獻了祭，
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
2 當夜天主在神視中對以色列說：「雅各伯、雅各伯!」他答說：「我在這裏。」
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I.
3 天主說：「我是天主，你父親的天主。你不要害怕下到埃及去，因為我要使你在那裏成為一大民族。
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:
4 我與你一同下到埃及，也必使你再上來；若瑟要親手合上你的眼。」
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.
5 雅各伯遂由貝爾舍巴起程。以色列的兒子們扶自己的父親雅各伯和自己的孩子及妻子，上了法郎派來接他的車，
And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: 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.
6 帶了家畜和在客納罕地積聚的財物，一同向埃及進發：這樣雅各伯和他所有的孩子，
And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
7 即他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女，他的一切孩子，都一同來到了埃及。
His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

28 雅各伯派猶大先去見若瑟，同他約定在哥笙相見。他們來到了哥笙地方，
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
29 若瑟套車上哥笙去迎接他父親以色列；一見了他，就撲在他頸上，抱住他的頸，哭了很久。
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30 以色列對若瑟說：「我見了你的面，見你還活著，現在我可以死了! 」
And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou [art] yet alive.
31 若瑟對他的兄弟們和父親的家屬說：「我要上去呈報法郎說：我在客納罕地的兄弟們和我父親的家屬，都來到我這裏了。
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, which [were] in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
32 這些人都是放羊飼畜的人；他們的羊群牛群和他們所有的一切都帶來了。
And the men [are] shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
33 所以，當法郎召見你們，問你們有何職業時，
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What [is] your occupation?
34 你們要答說：你的僕人們自幼直到現在，都是牧養牲畜的人，我們和我們的祖先都是如此。這樣你們才能住在哥笙地方，因為埃及人厭惡一切牧羊的人。」
That ye shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.
