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.

那地的饥荒非常严重。他们从埃及带来的粮食吃完了，父亲对他们说：“你们再去给我们买些粮来。”

还有约瑟在埃及所生的两个儿子。到埃及的雅各全家共有七十人。

你的列祖七十人下埃及，现在耶和华—你的上帝却使你如同天上的星那样多。”

我要在那里奉养你，因为还有五年的饥荒，免得你和你的家属，以及一切所有的，都陷入穷困中。’

上帝差我在你们以先来，为要给你们在世上存留余种，大施拯救，保全你们的性命。

手里要带双倍的银子，把退还在你们袋口的银子亲手带回去；或许那是个失误。

从前雅各逃到亚兰地，以色列为娶妻子工作，为娶妻子而牧放。

于是雅各下了埃及，后来他和我们的祖宗都死在那里；

耶和华专爱你们，拣选你们，并非因你们人数比任何民族多，其实你们的人数在各民族中是最少的。

追求公义、寻求耶和华的人哪，当听从我！你们要追想自己是从哪块磐石凿出，从哪个岩穴挖掘而来；要追想你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕和生你们的撒拉；因为我选召亚伯拉罕时，他只有一个人，但我赐福给他，使他增多。

凡从雅各生的，共有七十人。那时，约瑟已经在埃及。

然而，以色列人生养众多，繁衍昌盛，极其强盛，遍满了那地。

以撒四十岁时娶利百加为妻。利百加是巴旦‧亚兰地的亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹妹。

以色列带着一切所有的，起程到别是巴去，献祭给他父亲以撒的上帝。夜间，上帝在异象中对以色列说：“雅各！雅各！”他说：“我在这里。”上帝说：“我是上帝，你父亲的上帝。不要害怕下埃及去，因为我必使你在那里成为大国。我要和你同下埃及去，也必定带你上来；约瑟要亲手合上你的眼睛。”雅各就从别是巴起行。以色列的儿子让他们的父亲雅各和他们的孩子、妻子都坐在法老为雅各派来的车上。他们也带着迦南地所得的牲畜和财物来到埃及。雅各和他所有的子孙都一同来了。他把他的儿子、孙子、女儿、孙女，他所有的子孙一同带到埃及。

可是越苦待他们，他们就越发增多，更加繁衍，埃及人就因以色列人愁烦。

夜间，上帝来到亚兰人拉班那里，在梦中对他说：“你要小心，不可对雅各说好说歹。”

我常常白日受尽炎热，黑夜受尽寒霜，不得合眼入睡。

以色列也到了埃及，雅各在含地寄居。耶和华使他的百姓生养众多，使他们比敌人强盛，

雅各瞒住亚兰人拉班，不通知他就逃走了。

你要往我的本地本族去，为我的儿子以撒娶妻。”

以撒送雅各走了，雅各就往巴旦‧亚兰去，到亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里，拉班是利百加的哥哥，利百加是雅各和以扫的母亲。

以扫因他父亲给雅各的祝福，就怨恨雅各，心里说：“为我父亲居丧的时候近了，到那时候，我要杀我的弟弟雅各。”

以色列人住在埃及境内的歌珊地。他们在那里得了产业，并且生养众多。
