Then you shall declare before the Lord your God:“ My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous.

Then you will speak while the Lord is listening. You will say,“ My father Jacob was a wanderer from the land of Aram. He went down into Egypt with a few people. He lived there and became the father of a great nation. It had huge numbers of people.

“ And you shall make response before the Lord your God,‘ A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

“ You must then say in the presence of the Lord your God,‘ My ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived few in number, but in Egypt they became a large and mighty nation.

You are to respond by saying in the presence of the LORD your God: My father was a wandering Aramean. He went down to Egypt with a few people and resided there as an alien. There he became a great, powerful, and populous nation.

And you shall respond and say before the Lord your God,‘ My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt and resided there, few in number; but there he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

And you shall answer and say before the Lord your God:‘ My father was a Syrian, about to perish, and he went down to Egypt and dwelt there, few in number; and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

And thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

You are to respond by saying in the presence of the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramean. He went down to Egypt with a few people and lived there. There he became a great, powerful, and populous nation.

那地的饑荒甚大。他們從埃及帶來的糧食吃盡了，他們的父親就對他們說：「你們再去給我糴些糧來。」

還有約瑟在埃及所生的兩個兒子。雅各家來到埃及的共有七十人。

你的列祖七十人下埃及；現在耶和華－你的神使你如同天上的星那樣多。」

我要在那裏奉養你；因為還有五年的饑荒，免得你和你的眷屬，並一切所有的，都敗落了。』

神差我在你們以先來，為要給你們存留餘種在世上，又要大施拯救，保全你們的生命。

又要手裏加倍地帶銀子，並將歸還在你們口袋內的銀子仍帶在手裏；那或者是錯了。

從前雅各逃到亞蘭地，以色列為得妻服事人，為得妻與人放羊。

於是雅各下了埃及，後來他和我們的祖宗都死在那裏；

「耶和華專愛你們，揀選你們，並非因你們的人數多於別民，原來你們的人數在萬民中是最少的。

你們這追求公義、尋求耶和華的，當聽我言！你們要追想被鑿而出的磐石，被挖而出的巖穴。要追想你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕和生養你們的撒拉；因為亞伯拉罕獨自一人的時候，我選召他，賜福與他，使他人數增多。

凡從雅各而生的，共有七十人。約瑟已經在埃及。

以色列人生養眾多，並且繁茂，極其強盛，滿了那地。

以撒娶利百加為妻的時候正四十歲。利百加是巴旦‧亞蘭地的亞蘭人彼土利的女兒，是亞蘭人拉班的妹子。

以色列帶着一切所有的，起身來到別是巴，就獻祭給他父親以撒的神。夜間，神在異象中對以色列說：「雅各！雅各！」他說：「我在這裏。」神說：「我是神，就是你父親的神。你下埃及去不要害怕，因為我必使你在那裏成為大族。我要和你同下埃及去，也必定帶你上來；約瑟必給你送終。」雅各就從別是巴起行。以色列的兒子們使他們的父親雅各和他們的妻子、兒女都坐在法老為雅各送來的車上。他們又帶着迦南地所得的牲畜、貨財來到埃及。雅各和他的一切子孫都一同來了。雅各把他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女，並他的子子孫孫，一同帶到埃及。

只是越發苦害他們，他們越發多起來，越發蔓延；埃及人就因以色列人愁煩。

夜間，神到亞蘭人拉班那裏，在夢中對他說：「你要小心，不可與雅各說好說歹。」

我白日受盡乾熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不得合眼睡着，我常是這樣。

以色列也到了埃及；雅各在含地寄居。耶和華使他的百姓生養眾多，使他們比敵人強盛，

雅各背着亞蘭人拉班偷走了，並不告訴他，

你要往我本地本族去，為我的兒子以撒娶一個妻子。」

以撒打發雅各走了，他就往巴旦‧亞蘭去，到亞蘭人彼土利的兒子拉班那裏。拉班是雅各、以掃的母舅。

以掃因他父親給雅各祝的福，就怨恨雅各，心裏說：「為我父親居喪的日子近了，到那時候，我要殺我的兄弟雅各。」

以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他們在那裏置了產業，並且生育甚多。
