你要在永恆主你的上帝面前應聲地說：「我的祖宗原是個飄泊流亡的亞蘭人；他下到埃及，寄居在那裏，人數稀少；在那裏竟成了一國，又大又強盛，人數又多。

爾在爾上帝耶和華前必曰、我祖亞蘭人、乃瀕死者、往旅埃及、人數無多、而成大族、強盛繁衍、

爾在上帝耶和華前必告曰、吾祖亞蘭人、遊牧無定、攜人無多、以往埃及於彼昌大、繁衍其族。

爾在主爾之天主前、當敬告曰、我祖亞蘭人飄流無定、飄流無定或作窘迫將亡攜人無多以往伊及、乃旅於彼、在彼成為大族、強盛蕃衍、

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.

And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish[ was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

Then you must affirm before the LORD YOUR GOD,“ A wandering Aramean was my ancestor, and he went down to Egypt and lived there as a foreigner with a household few in number, but there he became a great, powerful, and numerous people.

You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God,“ My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

那地的饥荒十分严重。他们把从埃及带回来的粮食都吃完了。他们的父亲就对他们说：“你们再去替我们买些粮食回来吧。”

另外还有约瑟在埃及所生的两个儿子。雅各家来到埃及的所有成员，一共七十人。

你的列祖下到埃及的时候，一共不过七十人，现在耶和华你的神却使你的人数像天上的星那么多了。”

我要在那里供养你，因为还有五年的饥荒，免得你和你的家人，以及你一切所有的，都陷入穷困里。’

神差派我在你们以先来这里，为要给你们在地上留下余种，大大施行拯救，保全你们的性命。

你们手里要多带一倍银子，因为你们要把那放回在你们袋口里的银子带回去，那可能是弄错了的。

从前雅各逃到亚兰地，以色列为得妻子而作工，为得妻子而替人放羊。

于是雅各下了埃及。后来他和我们祖先都死了，

耶和华喜爱你们，拣选你们，并不是因为你们的人数比别的民族多，其实你们的人数在万族中是最少的；

追求公义、寻求耶和华的啊！你们要听我的话。你们要瞻仰那磐石，你们就是从其上凿出来的；你们要瞻仰那采石坑，你们就是从其中挖出来的。你们要瞻仰你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕，他们也要瞻仰那生你们的撒拉。亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候，我呼召了他，赐福给他，使他有很多子孙。

他们全是雅各所生的，共有七十人；那时约瑟已经在埃及了。

以色列人生养繁衍众多，人数增加，极其强盛，遍满了那地。

以撒娶利百加为妻的时候，正四十岁。利百加是巴旦．亚兰地、亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹妹。

以色列带着他所有的一切起程，到了别是巴，就向他父亲以撒的神献祭。神在夜间的异象中对以色列说：“雅各，雅各。”雅各说：“我在这里。”神说：“我是神，就是你父亲的神；你不要怕下埃及去，因为我必使你在那里成为大国。我要亲自与你一同下到埃及去，也必把你带上来。约瑟要亲手合上你的眼给你送终。”雅各就从别是巴起程。以色列的众子，用法老为雅各送来的车辆，接载他们的父亲雅各，以及他们的孩子和妻子。他们又带着牲畜，和他们在迦南地所得的财物，来到埃及。这样，雅各和他所有的子孙，都一同来了。雅各把他的众儿子、孙子、女儿、孙女和他所有的后裔，都一同带到埃及去了。

但是，埃及人越苦害他们，他们就越发增多，越发繁衍。埃及人就惧怕以色列人。

当天晚上，神在梦中来到亚兰人拉班那里，对他说：“你要小心，不可与雅各说什么。”

我白天受尽炎热，黑夜受尽寒霜，不能入睡；我经常是这样。

后来以色列到了埃及，雅各在含地寄居。耶和华使他的子民生育众多，使他们比他们的敌人更强盛。

雅各瞒着亚兰人拉班﹙“瞒着亚兰人拉班”直译是“偷了亚兰人拉班的心”﹚，没有告诉拉班他将要逃走。

你却要到我的故乡、我的亲族那里去，为我的儿子以撒娶妻。”

于是，以撒打发雅各去了，雅各就往巴旦．亚兰去，到了亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里。拉班就是雅各和以扫的母亲利百加的哥哥。

以扫因为他父亲给雅各所祝的福，就怀恨雅各；以扫心里想：“为我父亲守丧的时候近了，到时我必杀我的弟弟雅各。”

以色列人住在埃及国的歌珊地，他们在那里置业繁衍，人数非常众多。
