فَشَرَعَ إسْرائِيلُ فِي رِحلَتِهِ آخِذاً مَعَهُ كُلَّ ما لَهُ. وَوَصَلَ إلَى بِئْرِ السَّبْعِ. وَهُناكَ قَدَّمَ ذَبائِحَ لإلَهِ أبِيهِ إسْحاقَ.

2 G od spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”

وَفِي تِلْكَ اللَّيلَةِ كَلَّمَ اللهُ إسْرائِيلَ فِي حُلْمٍ فَقالَ لَهُ: «يَعقُوبُ، يَعْقُوبُ.» فَقالَ يَعقُوبُ: «سَمْعاً وَطاعَةً.»

3 H e said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.

34 t hat you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”

قُولُوا لَهُ: ‹كُنّا، نَحْنُ خُدّامَكَ، نُرَبِّي المَواشِيَ مُنذُ صِغَرِنا إلَى الآنَ، أباً عَنْ جَدٍّ.› قُولُوا هَذا لِكَي تَسْكُنُوا فِي أرْضِ جاسانَ. فَكُلُّ راعٍ مَكرُوهٌ فِي مِصْرَ.»
