1 Kings 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
1ΚΑΙ πορεύεται βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ εἰς Σίκιμα, ὅτι εἰς Σίκιμα ἤρχοντο πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν.
2And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,
2[Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰτ καὶ αὐτοῦ ἔτι ὄντος ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου,
3and they sent and called him — that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehoboam, saying:
3καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ἐκάλεσαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰσραήλ.] καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ροβοὰμ λέγοντες·
4'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
4ὁ πατήρ σου ἐβάρυνε τὸν κλοιὸν ἡμῶν, καὶ σὺ νῦν κούφισον ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τοῦ πατρός σου τῆς σκληρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ κλοιοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ βαρέως, οὗ ἔδωκεν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς, καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι.
5And he said unto them: 'Depart yet for three days, then come again to me.' And the people departed.
5καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· ἀπέλθετε ἕως ἡμερῶν τριῶν καὶ ἀναστρέψατε πρός με· καὶ ἀπῆλθον.
6And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
6καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις, οἳ ἦσαν παρεστῶτες ἐνώπιον Σαλωμὼν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔτι ζῶντος αὐτοῦ λέγων· πῶς ὑμεῖς βουλεύεσθε καὶ ἀποκριθῶ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ λόγον;
7And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
7καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἔσῃ δοῦλος τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ καὶ δουλεύσεις αὐτοῖς καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτοὺς λόγους ἀγαθούς, καὶ ἔσονταί σοι δοῦλοι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
8But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
8καὶ ἐγκατέλιπε τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἃ συνεβουλεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ συνεβουλεύσατο μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν ἐκτραφέντων μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ τῶν παρεστηκότων πρὸς προσώπου αὐτοῦ
9And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'
9καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ὑμεῖς συμβουλεύετε, καὶ τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ τοῖς λέγουσι πρός με λεγόντων· κούφισον ἀπὸ τοῦ κλοιοῦ, οὗ ἔδωκεν ὁ πατήρ σου ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς;
10And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
10καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν τὰ παιδάρια τὰ ἐκτραφέντα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, οἱ παρεστηκότες πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· τάδε λαλήσεις τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ τοῖς λαλήσασι πρός σε λέγοντες· ὁ πατήρ σου ἐβάρυνε τὸν κλοιὸν ἡμῶν καὶ σὺ νῦν κούφισον ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν, τάδε λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς· ἡ μικρότης μου παχυτέρα τῆς ὀσφύος τοῦ πατρός μου·
11And now whereas my father did burden you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
11καὶ νῦν ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπεσάσσετο ὑμᾶς κλοιῷ βαρεῖ, κἀγὼ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὸν κλοιὸν ὑμῶν· ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ἐν μάστιξιν, ἐγὼ δὲ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'
12καὶ παρεγένοντο πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ροβοὰμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, καθότι ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς λέγων· ἀναστράφητε πρός με τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ.
13And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him;
13καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν σκληρά, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπε Ροβοὰμ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἃ συνεβουλεύσαντο αὐτῷ,
14and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
14καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν παιδαρίων λέγων· ὁ πατήρ μου ἐβάρυνε τὸν κλοιὸν ὑμῶν, κἀγὼ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὸν κλοιὸν ὑμῶν· ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ἐν μάστιξι, κἀγὼ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις.
15So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that He might establish His word, which the LORD spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
15καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ λαοῦ, ὅτι ἦν μεταστροφὴ παρὰ Κυρίου, ὅπως στήσῃ τὸ ρῆμα αὐτοῦ, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀχιὰ τοῦ Σηλωνίτου περὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ.
16And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So Israel departed unto their tents.
16καὶ εἶδον πᾶς Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ λαὸς τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγων· τίς ἡμῖν μερὶς ἐν Δαυίδ; καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν κληρονομία ἐν υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί· ἀπότρεχε, Ἰσραήλ, εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου· νῦν βόσκε τὸν οἶκόν σου, Δαυίδ. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ.
17But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
no verse 17 in this text
18Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Ἀδωνιρὰμ τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ φόρου, καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν ἐν λίθοις καὶ ἀπέθανε· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ ἔφθασεν ἀναβῆναι τοῦ φυγεῖν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
19So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
19καὶ ἠθέτησεν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Δαυὶδ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
20And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel; there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
20καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι ἀνέκαμψεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ἐκάλεσαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὀπίσω οἴκου Δαυὶδ πάρεξ σκήπτρου Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν μόνοι.
21And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, be assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
21καὶ Ροβοὰμ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε τὴν συναγωγὴν Ἰούδα καὶ σκῆπτρον Βενιαμὶν ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας νεανιῶν ποιούντων πόλεμον, τοῦ πολεμεῖν πρὸς οἶκον Ἰσραήλ, ἐπιστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν Ροβοὰμ υἱῷ Σαλωμών.
22But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
22καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων·
23'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying:
23εἰπὸν τῷ Ροβοὰμ υἱῷ Σαλωμὼν βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς πάντα οἶκον Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ τῷ καταλοίπῳ τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων·
24Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel; return every man to his house; for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
24τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐκ ἀναβήσεσθε οὐδὲ πολεμήσετε μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· ἀποστρεφέτω ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτοῦ, ὅτι παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ γέγονε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο. καὶ ἤκουσαν τοῦ λόγου Κυρίου καὶ κατέπαυσαν τοῦ πορευθῆναι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου. α Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν κοιμᾶται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ. καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Ροβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ υἱὸς ὢν ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ δώδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ. καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ναανάν, θυγάτηρ Ἀνὰν υἱοῦ Ναὰς βασιλέως υἱῶν Ἀμμών· καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. β καὶ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφραὶμ δοῦλος τῷ Σαλωμών, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἱεροβοάμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Σαριρά, γυνὴ πόρνη· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν Σαλωμὼν εἰς ἄρχοντα σκυτάλης ἐπὶ ἄρσεις οἴκου Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τῷ Σαλωμὼν τὴν Σαριρὰ τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῶ τριακόσια ἅρματα ἵππων· οὗτος ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν ἐν ταῖς ἄρσεσιν οἴκου Ἐφραὶμ, οὗτος συνέκλεισε τὴν πόλιν Δαυὶδ καὶ ἦν ἐπαιρόμενος ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν. γ καὶ ἐζήτει Σαλωμὼν θανατῶσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ἐφοβήθη καὶ ἀπέδρα αὐτὸς πρὸς Σουσακὶμ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἕως ἀπέθανε Σαλωμών. δ καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαλωμών, καὶ ἐλάλησεν εἰς τὰ ὦτα Σουσακὶμ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου λέγων· ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἐγὼ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σουσακίμ· αἴτησαί τι αἴτημα καὶ δώσω σοι. ε καὶ Σουσακὶμ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ τὴν Ἀνώ, ἀδελφὴν Θεκεμίνας τὴν πρεσβυτέραν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα· αὕτη ἦν μεγάλη ἐν μέσῳ τῶν θυγατέρων τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ τὸν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ. ζ καὶ εἶπεν Ἱεροβοὰμ πρὸς Σουσακίμ· ὄντως ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς γῆν Σαριρὰ τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ· καὶ συνάγεται ἐκεῖ πᾶν σκῆπτρον Ἐφραίμ· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Ἱεροβοὰμ χάρακα. η Καὶ ἠρώστησε τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ ἀρρωστίαν κραταιὰν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐρωτῆσαι περὶ τοῦ παιδαρίου· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἀνὼ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου, ἐπερώτησον τὸν Θεὸν περὶ τοῦ παιδαρίου, εἰ ζήσεται ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας αὐτοῦ. θ καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐν Σηλὼμ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἀχιά, καὶ οὗτος ἦν υἱὸς ἑξήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ ρῆμα Κυρίου μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἱεροβοὰμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ λαβὲ εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄρτους καὶ κολλύρια τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καὶ σταφυλὴν καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος. καὶ ἀνέστη ἡ γυνὴ ι καὶ ἔλαβεν εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτῆς ἄρτους καὶ δύο κολλύρια καὶ σταφυλὴν καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος τῷ Ἀχιά· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος πρεσβύτερος, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἠμβλυώπουν τοῦ ἰδεῖν, κ καὶ ἀνέστη ἐκ Σαριρὰ καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐλθούσης αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς Ἀχιὰ τὸν Σηλωνίτην καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχιὰ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ· ἔξελθε δὴ εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἀνὼ τῇ γυναικὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῇ· εἴσελθε καὶ μὴ στῇς, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· σκληρὰ ἐγὼ ἐπαποστέλλω ἐπὶ σέ. λ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἀνὼ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἀχιά· ἱνατί ἐνήνοχάς μοι ἄρτους καὶ σταφυλὴν καὶ κολλύρια καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος;

25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.
25Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ τὴν Σίκιμα τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Φανουήλ.
26And Jeroboam said in his heart: 'Now will the kingdom return to the house of David.
26καὶ εἶπεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ νῦν ἐπιστρέψει ἡ βασιλεία εἰς οἶκον Δαυίδ·
27If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn back unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.'
27ἐὰν ἀναβῇ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ἀναφέρειν θυσίαν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐπιστραφήσεται καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς Κύριον καὶ κύριον αὐτῶν, πρὸς Ροβοὰμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσί με.
28Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them: 'Ye have gone up long enough to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
28καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐποίησε δύο δαμάλεις χρυσᾶς· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν λαόν· ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν ἀναβαίνειν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἰδοὺ θεοί σου, Ἰσραήλ, οἱ ἀναγαγόντες σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
29And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
29καὶ ἔθετο τὴν μίαν ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ τὴν μίαν ἔδωκεν ἐν Δάν.
30And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
30καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος οὗτος εἰς ἁμαρτίαν· καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὁ λαὸς πρὸ προσώπου τῆς μιᾶς ἕως Δάν. καὶ εἴασαν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
31And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.
31καὶ ἐποίησεν οἴκους ἐφ᾿ ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησεν ἱερεῖς μέρος τι ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ, οἳ οὐκ ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευί.
32And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, to sacrifice unto the calves that he had made; and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.
32καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἑορτὴν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἐν τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς κατὰ τὴν ἑορτὴν τὴν ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Βαιθήλ, τοῦ θύειν ταῖς δαμάλεσιν, αἷς ἐποίησε, καὶ παρέστησεν ἐν Βαιθὴλ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ὧν ἐποίησε.
33And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to offer.
33καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὃ ἐποίησε, τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ᾗ ἐπλάσατο ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑορτὴν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ ἐπιθῦσαι.
