以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他们在那里置了产业，并且生育甚多。
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
雅各住在埃及地十七年，雅各平生的年日是一百四十七岁。
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
以色列的死期临近了，他就叫了他儿子约瑟来，说，我若在你眼前蒙恩，请你把手放在我大腿底下，用慈爱和诚实待我，请你不要将我葬在埃及。
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
我与我祖我父同睡的时候，你要将我带出埃及，葬在他们所葬的地方。约瑟说，我必遵着你的命而行。
But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
雅各说，你要向我起誓。约瑟就向他起了誓，于是以色列在床头上（或作扶着杖头）敬拜神。
And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
因为耶和华至高者是可畏的。他是治理全地的大君王。
For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
他叫万民服在我们以下，又叫列邦服在我们脚下。
He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
他为我们选择产业，就是他所爱之雅各的荣耀。（细拉）。
He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
神上升，有喊声相送。耶和华上升，有角声相送。
God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
你们要向神歌颂，歌颂，向我们王歌颂，歌颂。
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
