God's Vision to Jacob at Beersheba
46 So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am." 3 Then He said, "I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. 4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also assuredly bring you up again; and Joseph will close your eyes."
1 以色列帶著一切所有的，起身來到別是巴，就獻祭給他父親以撒的神。2 夜間神在異象中對以色列說，雅各，雅各，他說，我在這裡。3 神說，我是神，就是你父親的神，你下埃及去不要害怕，因為我必使你在那裡成為大族。4 我要和你同下埃及去，也必定帶你上來，約瑟必給你送終。〔原文作將手按在你的眼睛上〕

5 Then Jacob left Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 They also took their livestock and their possessions, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him: 7 his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

31 But Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, "I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, 'My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me; 32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.' 33 When Pharaoh calls for you and says, 'What is your occupation?' 34 you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock since our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' so that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
31 約瑟對他的弟兄、和他父的全家說，我要上去告訴法老，對他說，我的弟兄和我父的全家，從前在迦南地，現今都到我這裡來了。32 他們本是牧羊的人，以養牲畜為業，他們把羊群、牛群、和一切所有的都帶來了。33 等法老召你們的時候，問你們說，你們以何事為業，34 你們要說，你的僕人從幼年直到如今，都以養牲畜為業，連我們的祖宗也都以此為業。這樣，你們可以住在歌珊地，因為凡牧羊的都被埃及人所厭惡。
