¹

And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Bæthel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

¹

ΕΙΠΕ δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς ᾿Ιακώβ· ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν τόπον Βαιθὴλ καὶ οἴκει ἐκεῖ καὶ ποίησον ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ὀφθέντι σοι ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν σε ἀπὸ προσώπου ῾Ησαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.

²

And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.

²

εἶπε δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἄρατε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν καὶ καθαρίσθητε καὶ ἀλλάξατε τὰς στολὰς ὑμῶν,

³

And let us rise and go up to Bæthel, and let us there make an altar to God who hearkened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.

³

καὶ ἀναστάντες ἀναβῶμεν εἰς Βαιθὴλ καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ἐπακούσαντί μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, ὃς ἦν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ διέσωσέ με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθην.

⁴

And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.

⁴

καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ ᾿Ιακὼβ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατέκρυψεν αὐτὰ ᾿Ιακὼβ ὑπὸ τὴν τερέβινθον τὴν ἐν Σικίμοις καὶ ἀπώλεσαν αὐτὰ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.

⁵

So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.

⁵

καὶ ἐξῇρεν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ Σικίμων, καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.

⁶

And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Bæthel, he and all the people that were with him.

⁶

ἦλθε δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ εἰς Λουζά, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἥ ἐστι Βαιθήλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός, ὃς ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

⁷

And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Bæthel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.

⁷

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου Βαιθήλ. ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου ῾Ησαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

⁸

And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Bæthel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.

⁸

ἀπέθανε δὲ Δεβῶρα ἡ τροφὸς Ρεβέκκας καὶ ἐτάφη κατώτερον Βαιθὴλ ὑπὸ τὴν βάλανον, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ᾿Ιακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Βάλανος πένθους.

⁹

And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.

⁹

῎Ωφθη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ᾿Ιακὼβ ἔτι ἐν Λουζᾷ, ὅτε παρεγένετο ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας τῆς Συρίας, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Θεός.

¹⁰

And God said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.

¹⁰

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· τὸ ὄνομά σου οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι ᾿Ιακώβ, ἀλλ᾿ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου. καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹¹

And God said to him, I am thy God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

¹¹

εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· ἐγὼ ὁ Θεός σου· αὐξάνου καὶ πληθύνου· ἔθνη καὶ συναγωγαὶ ἐθνῶν ἔσονται ἐκ σοῦ, καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου ἐξελεύσονται.

¹²

And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to thee; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to thy seed after thee.

¹²

καὶ τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκα ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαάκ, σοὶ δέδωκα αὐτήν· σοὶ ἔσται, καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην.

¹³

And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.

¹³

ἀνέβη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

¹⁴

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, even a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.

¹⁴

καὶ ἔστησεν ᾿Ιακὼβ στήλην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, ᾧ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεός, στήλην λιθίνην, καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν σπονδὴν καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν ἔλαιον.

¹⁵

And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Bæthel.

¹⁵

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ᾿Ιακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου, ἐν ᾧ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεός, Βαιθήλ.

¹⁶

And Jacob removed from Bæthel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.

¹⁶

᾿Απάρας δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκ Βαιθήλ, ἔπηξε τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ πύργου Γαδέρ. ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν εἰς Χαβραθὰ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὴν ᾿Εφραθᾶ, ἔτεκε Ραχὴλ καὶ ἐδυστόκησεν ἐν τῷ τοκετῷ.

¹⁷

And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son.

¹⁷

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ σκληρῶς αὐτὴν τίκτειν, εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ μαῖα· θάρσει, καὶ γὰρ οὗτός σοί ἐστιν υἱός.

¹⁸

And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

¹⁸

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀφιέναι αὐτὴν τὴν ψυχήν, ἀπέθνησκε γάρ, ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Υἱὸς ὀδύνης μου· ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βενιαμίν.

¹⁹

So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.

¹⁹

ἀπέθανε δὲ Ραχὴλ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἱπποδρόμου ᾿Εφραθᾶ (αὕτη ἐστὶ Βηθλεέμ).

²⁰

And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.

²⁰

καὶ ἔστησεν ᾿Ιακὼβ στήλην ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου αὐτῆς· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ στήλη ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου Ραχὴλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

²²

And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

²¹

ἐγένετο δέ ἡνίκα κατῴκησεν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ, ἐπορεύθη Ρουβὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ Βαλλᾶς τῆς παλλακῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιακώβ· καὶ ἤκουσεν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.

²³

The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.

²²

῏Ησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ δώδεκα.

²⁴

And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.

²³

υἱοὶ Λείας· πρωτότοκος ᾿Ιακὼβ Ρουβήν, Συμεών, Λευί, ᾿Ιούδας, ᾿Ισσάχαρ, Ζαβουλών.

²⁵

And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.

²⁴

υἱοὶ δὲ Ραχήλ· ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ Βενιαμίν.

²⁶

And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.

²⁵

υἱοὶ δὲ Βαλλᾶς παιδίσκης Ραχήλ· Δὰν καὶ Νεφθαλείμ.

²⁷

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.

²⁶

υἱοὶ δὲ Ζελφᾶς παιδίσκης Λείας· Γὰδ καὶ ᾿Ασήρ. οὗτοι υἱοὶ ᾿Ιακώβ, οἳ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ ἐν Μεσοποταμίᾳ τῆς Συρίας.

²⁸

And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.

²⁷

῏Ηλθε δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ πρὸς ᾿Ισαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς Μαμβρῆ, εἰς πόλιν τοῦ πεδίου (αὕτη ἐστὶ Χεβρών) ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, οὗ παρῴκησεν ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαάκ.

²⁹

And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.

²⁸

ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι ᾿Ισαάκ, ἃς ἔζησεν, ἔτη ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα,
