δὲ Ισαακ τὸν Ιακωβ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Χανααν
And Isaac, having called Jacob, blessed him and commanded him, saying, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

ἀπόδραθι εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Βαθουηλ τοῦ πατρὸς τῆς μητρός σου καὶ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ ἐκεῖθεν γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Λαβαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρός σου
Rise up and flee to Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathouel, your mother’s father, and take for yourself from there a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother
And my God may bless you and increase you and multiply you, and you shall be into gatherings of nations
δῴη σοι τὴν εὐλογίαν Αβρααμ τοῦ πατρός μου σοὶ καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σέ κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν τῆς παροικήσεώς σου ἣν ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τῷ Αβρααμ
and may he give to you the blessing of Abraham my father, to you and to your offspring with you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraham
ἀπέστειλεν Ισαακ τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν πρὸς Λαβαν τὸν υἱὸν Βαθουηλ τοῦ Σύρου ἀδελφὸν δὲ Ρεβεκκας τῆς μητρὸς Ιακωβ καὶ Ησαυ
And Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s mother, and Esau.
δὲ Ησαυ ὅτι εὐλόγησεν Ισαακ τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ ἀπῴχετο εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ ἐκεῖθεν γυναῖκα ἐν τῷ εὐλογεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων Χανααν
And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob and sent him away into Mesopotamia of Syria to take for himself a wife from there, in blessing him and commanding him, saying, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
And Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and he went into Mesopotamia of Syria.
And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father
ἐπορεύθη Ησαυ πρὸς Ισμαηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν Μαελεθ θυγατέρα Ισμαηλ τοῦ υἱοῦ Αβρααμ ἀδελφὴν Ναβαιωθ πρὸς ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ γυναῖκα
And Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath daughter of Ishmael the son of Abraham, sister of Nebaioth, to be a wife, besides his wives.
And Jacob went out from the well of the oath and went to Haran.
ἀπήντησεν τόπῳ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ ἔδυ γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τῶν λίθων τοῦ τόπου καὶ ἔθηκεν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἐκείνῳ
And he came upon a place and slept there, for the sun had set; and he took from the stones of the place and put them by his head, and slept in that place.
ἐνυπνιάσθη καὶ ἰδοὺ κλίμαξ ἐστηριγμένη ἐν τῇ γῇ ἧς ἡ κεφαλὴ ἀφικνεῖτο εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνέβαινον καὶ κατέβαινον ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς
And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, whose head reached to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it
δὲ κύριος ἐπεστήρικτο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς Αβρααμ τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ισαακ μὴ φοβοῦ ἡ γῆ ἐφ᾿ ἧς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς σοὶ δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου
And the Lord had stood over it and said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; do not fear. The land on which you are sleeping, on it I will give it to you and to your seed.
ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς γῆς καὶ πλατυνθήσεται ἐπὶ θάλασσαν καὶ ἐπὶ λίβα καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀνατολάς καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου
And your seed shall be like the sand of the earth, and it shall spread out to the sea and to the south and to the north and to the east, and in you all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed, and in your seed.
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μετὰ σοῦ διαφυλάσσων σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ πάσῃ οὗ ἐὰν πορευθῇς καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην ὅτι οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω ἕως τοῦ ποιῆσαί με πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησά σοι
And behold, I am with you, keeping you on every way where you may go, and I will bring you back into this land, because I will by no means leave you until I have done all that I have spoken to you.
And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “The Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
ἐφοβήθη καὶ εἶπεν ὡς φοβερὸς ὁ τόπος οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο ἀλλ᾿ ἢ οἶκος θεοῦ καὶ αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
And he was afraid and said, How fearful is this place; this is not this except the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
ἀνέστη Ιακωβ τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν λίθον ὃν ὑπέθηκεν ἐκεῖ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν στήλην καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἔλαιον ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον αὐτῆς
And Jacob rose up in the morning and took the stone which he had put there at his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on its top
And Iakob called the name of that place House of God, and Oulamlous was the name of the city formerly.
ηὔξατο Ιακωβ εὐχὴν λέγων ἐὰν ᾖ κύριος ὁ θεὸς μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ διαφυλάξῃ με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι καὶ δῷ μοι ἄρτον φαγεῖν καὶ ἱμάτιον περιβαλέσθαι
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God should be with me and should guard me on this way that I am going and should give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,
and if you bring me back in safety to my father’s house, then the Lord shall be to me as God
ὁ λίθος οὗτος ὃν ἔστησα στήλην ἔσται μοι οἶκος θεοῦ καὶ πάντων ὧν ἐάν μοι δῷς δεκάτην ἀποδεκατώσω αὐτά σοι
And this stone, which I have set up as a pillar, shall be for me a house of God, and of all that you may give me I will surely tithe a tenth to you.
