Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
1ΕΙΠΕ δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἰακώβ· ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν τόπον Βαιθὴλ καὶ οἴκει ἐκεῖ καὶ ποίησον ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ὀφθέντι σοι ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν σε ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἡσαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.
2Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
2εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ 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,
3Let’s arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me on the way which I went.”
3καὶ 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.
4They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
4καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ Ἰακὼβ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατέκρυψεν αὐτὰ Ἰακὼβ ὑπὸ τὴν τερέβινθον τὴν ἐν Σικίμοις καὶ ἀπώλεσαν αὐτὰ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
5They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn’t pursue the sons of Jacob.
5καὶ ἐξῇρεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ Σικίμων, καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
6So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
6ἦλθε δὲ Ἰακὼβ εἰς Λουζά, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἥ ἐστι Βαιθήλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός, ὃς ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
7He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
7καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου Βαιθήλ. ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἡσαῦ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
8Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
8ἀπέθανε δὲ Δεβῶρα ἡ τροφὸς Ρεβέκκας καὶ ἐτάφη κατώτερον Βαιθὴλ ὑπὸ τὴν βάλανον, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Βάλανος πένθους.
9God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
9Ὤφθη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰακὼβ ἔτι ἐν Λουζᾷ, ὅτε παρεγένετο ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας τῆς Συρίας, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Θεός.
10God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel.” He named him Israel.
10καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· τὸ ὄνομά σου οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι Ἰακώβ, ἀλλ᾿ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου. καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
11God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.
11εἶπε 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.
12The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your offspring after you I will give the land.”
12καὶ τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκα Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαάκ, σοὶ δέδωκα αὐτήν· σοὶ ἔσται, καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην.
13God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
13ἀνέβη δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
14Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
14καὶ ἔστησεν Ἰακὼβ στήλην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, ᾧ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεός, στήλην λιθίνην, καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐπ' αὐτὴν σπονδὴν καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν ἔλαιον.
15Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him “Bethel”.
15καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου, ἐν ᾧ ἐλάλησε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεός, Βαιθήλ.
16They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.
16Ἀπάρας δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐκ Βαιθήλ, ἔπηξε τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ πύργου Γαδέρ. ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν εἰς Χαβραθὰ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὴν Ἐφραθᾶ, ἔτεκε Ραχὴλ καὶ ἐδυστόκησεν ἐν τῷ τοκετῷ.
17When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
17ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ σκληρῶς αὐτὴν τίκτειν, εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ μαῖα· θάρσει, καὶ γὰρ οὗτός σοί ἐστιν υἱός.
18As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.
18ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀφιέναι αὐτὴν τὴν ψυχήν, ἀπέθνησκε γάρ, ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Υἱὸς ὀδύνης μου· ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Βενιαμίν.
19Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).
19ἀπέθανε δὲ Ραχὴλ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἱπποδρόμου Ἐφραθᾶ (αὕτη ἐστὶ Βηθλεέμ).
20Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
20καὶ ἔστησεν Ἰακὼβ στήλην ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου αὐτῆς· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ στήλη ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου Ραχὴλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
21Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
21ἐγένετο δέ ἡνίκα κατῴκησεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ, ἐπορεύθη Ρουβὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ Βαλλᾶς τῆς παλλακῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰακώβ· καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
22While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
22Ἦσαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ δώδεκα.
23The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
23υἱοὶ Λείας· πρωτότοκος Ἰακὼβ Ρουβήν, Συμεών, Λευί, Ἰούδας, Ἰσσάχαρ, Ζαβουλών.
24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
24υἱοὶ δὲ Ραχήλ· Ἰωσὴφ καὶ Βενιαμίν.
25The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.
25υἱοὶ δὲ Βαλλᾶς παιδίσκης Ραχήλ· Δὰν καὶ Νεφθαλείμ.
26The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
26υἱοὶ δὲ Ζελφᾶς παιδίσκης Λείας· Γὰδ καὶ Ἀσήρ. οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ἰακώβ, οἳ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ ἐν Μεσοποταμίᾳ τῆς Συρίας.
27Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
27Ἦλθε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς Μαμβρῆ, εἰς πόλιν τοῦ πεδίου (αὕτη ἐστὶ Χεβρών) ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, οὗ παρῴκησεν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαάκ.
28The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
28ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι Ἰσαάκ, ἃς ἔζησεν, ἔτη ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα,
29Isaac gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
29καὶ ἐκλείπων Ἰσαὰκ ἀπέθανε καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν Ἡσαῦ καὶ Ἰακὼβ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ.
