  [4] εἶπεν δὲ Συχεμ πρὸς Εμμωρ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ λέγων Λαβέ μοι τὴν παιδίσκην ταύτην εἰς γυναῖκα.

  [4] Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.

  [5] Ιακωβ δὲ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἐμίανεν ὁ υἱὸς Εμμωρ Διναν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἦσαν μετὰ τῶν κτηνῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, παρεσιώπησεν δὲ Ιακωβ ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτούς.

  [5] And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.

  [6] ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Εμμωρ ὁ πατὴρ Συχεμ πρὸς Ιακωβ λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ.

  [6] And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.

  [7] οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ιακωβ ἦλθον ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου· ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν, κατενύχθησαν οἱ ἄνδρες, καὶ λυπηρὸν ἦν αὐτοῖς σφόδρα ὅτι ἄσχημον ἐποίησεν ἐν Ισραηλ κοιμηθεὶς μετὰ τῆς θυγατρὸς Ιακωβ, καὶ οὐχ οὕτως ἔσται.

  [7] And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because the man wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.

  [8] καὶ ἐλάλησεν Εμμωρ αὐτοῖς λέγων Συχεμ ὁ υἱός μου προείλατο τῇ ψυχῇ τὴν θυγατέρα ὑμῶν· δότε οὖν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα.

  [8] And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,

  [9] ἐπιγαμβρεύσασθε ἡμῖν· τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν δότε ἡμῖν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν λάβετε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν.

  [9] and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.

  [10] καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν κατοικεῖτε, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἰδοὺ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον ὑμῶν· κατοικεῖτε καὶ ἐμπορεύεσθε ἐπ’ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐγκτήσασθε ἐν αὐτῇ.

  [10] And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.

  [11] εἶπεν δὲ Συχεμ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῆς Εὕροιμι χάριν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπητε, δώσομεν.

  [11] And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever ye shall name.

  [12] πληθύνατε τὴν φερνὴν σφόδρα, καὶ δώσω, καθότι ἂν εἴπητέ μοι, καὶ δώσετέ μοι τὴν παῖδα ταύτην εἰς γυναῖκα.

  [12] Multiply your demand of dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as ye shall say to me, only ye shall give me this damsel for a wife.

  [13] ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιακωβ τῷ Συχεμ καὶ Εμμωρ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ μετὰ δόλου καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἐμίαναν Διναν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν,

  [13] And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.

  [14] καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς Συμεων καὶ Λευι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Δινας υἱοὶ δὲ Λειας Οὐ δυνησόμεθα ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, δοῦναι τὴν ἀδελφὴν ἡμῶν ἀνθρώπῳ, ὃς ἔχει ἀκροβυστίαν· ἔστιν γὰρ ὄνειδος ἡμῖν.

  [14] And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.

  [15] ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθησόμεθα ὑμῖν καὶ κατοικήσομεν ἐν ὑμῖν, ἐὰν γένησθε ὡς ἡμεῖς καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐν τῷ περιτμηθῆναι ὑμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν,

  [15] Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if ye also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.

  [16] καὶ δώσομεν τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν ὑμῖν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων ὑμῶν λημψόμεθα ἡμῖν γυναῖκας καὶ οἰκήσομεν παρ’ ὑμῖν καὶ ἐσόμεθα ὡς γένος ἕν.

  [16] And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.

  [17] ἐὰν δὲ μὴ εἰσακούσητε ἡμῶν τοῦ περιτέμνεσθαι, λαβόντες τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν ἀπελευσόμεθα.

  [17] But if ye will not hearken to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.

  [18] καὶ ἤρεσαν οἱ λόγοι ἐναντίον Εμμωρ καὶ ἐναντίον Συχεμ τοῦ υἱοῦ Εμμωρ.

  [18] And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.

  [19] καὶ οὐκ ἐχρόνισεν ὁ νεανίσκος τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· ἐνέκειτο γὰρ τῇ θυγατρὶ Ιακωβ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἦν ἐνδοξότατος πάντων τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

  [19] And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob’s daughter, and he was the most honourable of all in his father’s house.

  [20] ἦλθεν δὲ Εμμωρ καὶ Συχεμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν λέγοντες

  [20] And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

  [21] Οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι εἰρηνικοί εἰσιν μεθ’ ἡμῶν· οἰκείτωσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐμπορευέσθωσαν αὐτήν, ἡ δὲ γῆ ἰδοὺ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον αὐτῶν. τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν λημψόμεθα ἡμῖν γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν δώσομεν αὐτοῖς.

  [21] These men are peaceable, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.

  [22] μόνον ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθήσονται ἡμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τοῦ κατοικεῖν μεθ’ ἡμῶν ὥστε εἶναι λαὸν ἕνα, ἐν τῷ περιτέμνεσθαι ἡμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν, καθὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ περιτέτμηνται.

  [22] Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.

  [23] καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τετράποδα οὐχ ἡμῶν ἔσται; μόνον ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθῶμεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ οἰκήσουσιν μεθ’ ἡμῶν.

  [23] And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.

  [24] καὶ εἰσήκουσαν Εμμωρ καὶ Συχεμ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐκπορευόμενοι τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν καὶ περιετέμοντο τὴν σάρ�
�α τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν, πᾶς ἄρσην.

  [24] And all that went in at the gate of their city hearkened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.

  [25] ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὅτε ἦσαν ἐν τῷ πόνῳ, ἔλαβον οἱ δύο υἱοὶ Ιακωβ Συμεων καὶ Λευι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Δινας ἕκαστος τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀσφαλῶς καὶ ἀπέκτειναν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν·

  [25] And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and slew every male.

  [26] τόν τε Εμμωρ καὶ Συχεμ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Διναν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Συχεμ καὶ ἐξῆλθον.

  [26] And they slew Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.

  [27] οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ιακωβ εἰσῆλθον ἐπὶ τοὺς τραυματίας καὶ διήρπασαν τὴν πόλιν, ἐν ᾗ ἐμίαναν Διναν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν,

  [27] But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.

  [28] καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς βόας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν, ὅσα τε ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, ἔλαβον.

  [28] And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatsoever were in the city, and whatsoever were in the plain.

  [29] καὶ πάντα τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ᾐχμαλώτευσαν, καὶ διήρπασαν ὅσα τε ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις.

  [29] And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.

  [30] εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ Συμεων καὶ Λευι Μισητόν με πεποιήκατε ὥστε πονηρόν με εἶναι πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν τὴν γῆν, ἔν τε τοῖς Χαναναίοις καὶ τοῖς Φερεζαίοις· ἐγὼ δὲ ὀλιγοστός εἰμι ἐν ἀριθμῷ, καὶ συναχθέντες ἐπ’ ἐμὲ συγκόψουσίν με, καὶ ἐκτριβήσομαι ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ οἶκός μου.

  [30] And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, Ye have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.

  [31] οἱ δὲ εἶπαν Ἀλλ’ ὡσεὶ πόρνῃ χρήσωνται τῇ ἀδελφῇ ἡμῶν;

  [31] And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?

  CHAPTER 35

  [1] Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Ιακωβ Ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν τόπον Βαιθηλ καὶ οἴκει ἐκεῖ καὶ ποίησον ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ θεῷ τῷ ὀφθέντι σοι ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν σε ἀπὸ προσώπου Ησαυ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.

  [1] And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, 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.

  [2] εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ Ἄρατε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν καὶ καθαρίσασθε καὶ ἀλλάξατε τὰς στολὰς ὑμῶν,

  [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.

  [3] καὶ ἀναστάντες ἀναβῶμεν εἰς Βαιθηλ καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἐπακούσαντί μοι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, ὃς ἦν μετ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ διέσωσέν με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθην.

  [3] And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an alter 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.

  [4] καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ Ιακωβ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατέκρυψεν αὐτὰ Ιακωβ ὑπὸ τὴν τερέμινθον τὴν ἐν Σικιμοις καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὰ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.

  [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.

  [5] καὶ ἐξῆρεν Ισραηλ ἐκ Σικιμων, καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ.

  [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.

  [6] ἦλθεν δὲ Ιακωβ εἰς Λουζα, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χανααν, ἥ ἐστιν Βαιθηλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός, ὃς ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

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

  [7] καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου Βαιθηλ· ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἐπεφάνη αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ησαυ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

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

  [8] ἀπέθανεν δὲ Δεββωρα ἡ τροφὸς Ρεβεκκας κατώτερον Βαιθηλ ὑπὸ τὴν βάλανον, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Βάλανος πένθους.

  [8] And Deborrha, Rebecca’s nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.

  [9] Ὤφθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ ἔτι ἐν Λουζα, ὅτε παρεγένετο ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας τῆς Συρίας, καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός.

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

  [10] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεός Τὸ ὄνομά σου Ιακωβ· οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι Ιακωβ, ἀλλ’ Ισραηλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου.

  [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.

  [11] εἶπεν 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.

  [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.

  [12] καὶ τὴν γῆν, ἣν δέδωκα Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ, σοὶ δέδωκα αὐτήν· σοὶ ἔσται, καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην.

  [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.

  [13] ἀνέβη δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἐλάλησεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

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

  [14] καὶ ἔστησεν Ιακωβ στήλην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, ᾧ ἐλάλησεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ, στήλην λιθίνην, καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν σπονδὴν καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἔλαιον.

  [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.

  [15] καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου, ἐν ᾧ ἐλάλησεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὁ θεός, Βαιθηλ.

  [15] And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.

  [16] Ἀπάρας δὲ Ιακωβ ἐκ Βαιθηλ ἔπηξεν τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ πύργου Γαδερ. ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν χαβραθα εἰς γῆν ἐλθεῖν Εφραθα, ἔτεκεν Ραχηλ καὶ ἐδυστόκησεν ἐν τῷ τοκετῷ.

  [16] [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, 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.

  [17] ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ σκληρῶς αὐτὴν τίκτειν εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ μαῖα Θάρσει, καὶ γὰρ οὗτός σοί ἐστιν υἱός.
