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

²Men Gud sagde i et Nattesyn til Israel: "Jakob, Jakob!" Og han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"

³He 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.

³Da sagde han: "Jeg er Gud, din Faders Gud, vær ikke bange for at drage ned til Ægypten, thi jeg vil gøre dig til et stort Folk der;

⁴I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your eyes.”

⁴jeg vil selv drage med dig til Ægypten, og jeg vil også føre dig tilbage, og Josef skal lukke dine Øjne!"
