< Genesis 46 >

1 Profectusque Israel cum omnibus quæ habebat, venit ad Puteum iuramenti. Et mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
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 audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se, et dicentem sibi: Iacob, Iacob. Cui respondit: Ecce adsum.
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I.
3 Ait illi Deus: Ego sum fortissimus Deus patris tui: noli timere, descende in Ægyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
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 Ego descendam tecum illuc, et ego inde adducam te revertentem: Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos.
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 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 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.
