Genesis

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。

And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

夜間，神在異象中對以色列說：「雅各！雅各！」他說：「我在這裡。」

And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

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。

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:

我要和你一同下埃及去，我也必定帶你上來；約瑟必親手為你送終。」

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.

雅各就從別是巴起行；以色列的兒子們用法老所打發來的車，把他們的父親雅各和他們的妻子兒女都帶去了。

And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: 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.

他帶著兒子們和孫子們，女兒們和孫女們，並他的一切子孫，都到了埃及。

His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

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.

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.

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.
