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.

那地的饑荒非常嚴重。他們從埃及帶來的糧食吃完了，父親對他們說：「你們再去給我們買些糧來。」

還有約瑟在埃及所生的兩個兒子。到埃及的雅各全家共有七十人。

你的列祖七十人下埃及，現在耶和華－你的上帝卻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，免得你和你的家屬，以及一切所有的，都陷入窮困中。』

上帝差我在你們以先來，為要給你們在世上存留餘種，大施拯救，保全你們的性命。

手裏要帶雙倍的銀子，把退還在你們袋口的銀子親手帶回去；或許那是個失誤。

從前雅各逃到亞蘭地，以色列為娶妻子工作，為娶妻子而牧放。

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，並非因你們人數比任何民族多，其實你們的人數在各民族中是最少的。

追求公義、尋求耶和華的人哪，當聽從我！你們要追想自己是從哪塊磐石鑿出，從哪個巖穴挖掘而來；要追想你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕和生你們的撒拉；因為我選召亞伯拉罕時，他只有一個人，但我賜福給他，使他增多。

凡從雅各生的，共有七十人。那時，約瑟已經在埃及。

然而，以色列人生養眾多，繁衍昌盛，極其強盛，遍滿了那地。

以撒四十歲時娶利百加為妻。利百加是巴旦‧亞蘭地的亞蘭人彼土利的女兒，是亞蘭人拉班的妹妹。

以色列帶着一切所有的，起程到別是巴去，獻祭給他父親以撒的上帝。夜間，上帝在異象中對以色列說：「雅各！雅各！」他說：「我在這裏。」上帝說：「我是上帝，你父親的上帝。不要害怕下埃及去，因為我必使你在那裏成為大國。我要和你同下埃及去，也必定帶你上來；約瑟要親手合上你的眼睛。」雅各就從別是巴起行。以色列的兒子讓他們的父親雅各和他們的孩子、妻子都坐在法老為雅各派來的車上。他們也帶着迦南地所得的牲畜和財物來到埃及。雅各和他所有的子孫都一同來了。他把他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女，他所有的子孫一同帶到埃及。

可是越苦待他們，他們就越發增多，更加繁衍，埃及人就因以色列人愁煩。

夜間，上帝來到亞蘭人拉班那裏，在夢中對他說：「你要小心，不可對雅各說好說歹。」

我常常白日受盡炎熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不得合眼入睡。

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，

雅各瞞住亞蘭人拉班，不通知他就逃走了。

你要往我的本地本族去，為我的兒子以撒娶妻。」

以撒送雅各走了，雅各就往巴旦‧亞蘭去，到亞蘭人彼土利的兒子拉班那裏，拉班是利百加的哥哥，利百加是雅各和以掃的母親。

以掃因他父親給雅各的祝福，就怨恨雅各，心裏說：「為我父親居喪的時候近了，到那時候，我要殺我的弟弟雅各。」

以色列人住在埃及境內的歌珊地。他們在那裏得了產業，並且生養眾多。
