  [5] Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.

  [6] καὶ κατῴκησεν Ισαακ ἐν Γεραροις.

  [6] And Isaac dwelt in Gerara.

  [7] Ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου περὶ Ρεβεκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀδελφή μού ἐστιν· ἐφοβήθη γὰρ εἰπεῖν ὅτι Γυνή μού ἐστιν, μήποτε ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου περὶ Ρεβεκκας, ὅτι ὡραία τῇ ὄψει ἦν.

  [7] And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should slay him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.

  [8] ἐγένετο δὲ πολυχρόνιος ἐκεῖ· παρακύψας δὲ Αβιμελεχ ὁ βασιλεὺς Γεραρων διὰ τῆς θυρίδος εἶδεν τὸν Ισαακ παίζοντα μετὰ Ρεβεκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ.

  [8] And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.

  [9] ἐκάλεσεν δὲ Αβιμελεχ τὸν Ισαακ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἄρα γε γυνή σού ἐστιν· τί ὅτι εἶπας Ἀδελφή μού ἐστιν; εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ισαακ Εἶπα γάρ Μήποτε ἀποθάνω δι’ αὐτήν.

  [9] And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then thy wife? why hast thou said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, I did so, for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.

  [10] εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Αβιμελεχ Τί τοῦτο ἐποίησας ἡμῖν; μικροῦ ἐκοιμήθη τις τοῦ γένους μου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός σου, καὶ ἐπήγαγες ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἄγνοιαν.

  [10] And Abimelech said to him, Why hast thou done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a sin of ignorance upon us.

  [11] συνέταξεν δὲ Αβιμελεχ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ λέγων Πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου ἢ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ θανάτου ἔνοχος ἔσται.

  [11] And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.

  [12] Ἔσπειρεν δὲ Ισαακ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εὗρεν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ ἑκατοστεύουσαν κριθήν· εὐλόγησεν δὲ αὐτὸν κύριος.

  [12] And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.

  [13] καὶ ὑψώθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ προβαίνων μείζων ἐγίνετο, ἕως οὗ μέγας ἐγένετο σφόδρα·

  [13] And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.

  [14] ἐγένετο δὲ αὐτῷ κτήνη προβάτων καὶ κτήνη βοῶν καὶ γεώργια πολλά. ἐζήλωσαν δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ Φυλιστιιμ,

  [14] And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.

  [15] καὶ πάντα τὰ φρέατα, ἃ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐνέφραξαν αὐτὰ οἱ Φυλιστιιμ καὶ ἔπλησαν αὐτὰ γῆς.

  [15] And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.

  [16] εἶπεν δὲ Αβιμελεχ πρὸς Ισαακ Ἄπελθε ἀφ’ ἡμῶν, ὅτι δυνατώτερος ἡμῶν ἐγένου σφόδρα.

  [16] And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.

  [17] καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Ισαακ καὶ κατέλυσεν ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεραρων καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐκεῖ.

  [17] And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there.

  [18] καὶ πάλιν Ισαακ ὤρυξεν τὰ φρέατα τοῦ ὕδατος, ἃ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες Αβρααμ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέφραξαν αὐτὰ οἱ Φυλιστιιμ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Αβρααμ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα κατὰ τὰ ὀνόματα, ἃ ἐπωνόμασεν Αβρααμ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

  [18] And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.

  [19] καὶ ὤρυξαν οἱ παῖδες Ισαακ ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γεραρων καὶ εὗρον ἐκεῖ φρέαρ ὕδατος ζῶντος.

  [19] And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.

  [20] καὶ ἐμαχέσαντο οἱ ποιμένες Γεραρων μετὰ τῶν ποιμένων Ισαακ φάσκοντες αὐτῶν εἶναι τὸ ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ φρέατος Ἀδικία· ἠδίκησαν γὰρ αὐτόν.

  [20] And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.

  [21] ἀπάρας δὲ Ισαακ ἐκεῖθεν ὤρυξεν φρέαρ ἕτερον, ἐκρίνοντο δὲ καὶ περὶ ἐκείνου· καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐχθρία.

  [21] And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.

  [22] ἀπάρας δὲ ἐκεῖθεν ὤρυξεν φρέαρ ἕτερον, καὶ οὐκ ἐμαχέσαντο περὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Εὐρυχωρία λέγων Διότι νῦν ἐπλάτυνεν κύριος ἡμῖν καὶ ηὔξησεν ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

  [22] And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.

  [23] Ἀνέβη δὲ ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου.

  [23] And he went up thence to the well of the oath.

  [24] καὶ ὤφθη αὐτῷ κύριος ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς Αβρααμ τοῦ πατρός σου· μὴ φοβοῦ· μετὰ σοῦ γάρ εἰμι καὶ ηὐλόγηκά σε καὶ πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου διὰ Αβρααμ τὸν πατέρα σου.

  [24] And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraam thy father.

  [25] καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ ἔπηξεν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ· ὤρυξαν δὲ ἐκεῖ οἱ παῖδες Ισαακ φρέαρ.

  [25] And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.

  [26] καὶ Αβιμελεχ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Γεραρων καὶ Οχοζαθ ὁ νυμφαγωγὸ�
� αὐτοῦ καὶ Φικολ ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ.

  [26] And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.

  [27] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ισαακ Ἵνα τί ἤλθατε πρός με; ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐμισήσατέ με καὶ ἀπεστείλατέ με ἀφ’ ὑμῶν.

  [27] And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you.

  [28] καὶ εἶπαν Ἰδόντες ἑωράκαμεν ὅτι ἦν κύριος μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ εἴπαμεν Γενέσθω ἀρὰ ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ, καὶ διαθησόμεθα μετὰ σοῦ διαθήκην

  [28] And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with thee, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and thee, and we will make a covenant with thee,

  [29] μὴ ποιήσειν μεθ’ ἡμῶν κακόν, καθότι ἡμεῖς σε οὐκ ἐβδελυξάμεθα, καὶ ὃν τρόπον ἐχρησάμεθά σοι καλῶς καὶ ἐξαπεστείλαμέν σε μετ’ εἰρήνης· καὶ νῦν σὺ εὐλογητὸς ὑπὸ κυρίου.

  [29] that thou shalt do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred thee, and according as we have treated thee well, and have sent thee forth peaceably; and now thou art blessed of the Lord.

  [30] καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς δοχήν, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον·

  [30] And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

  [31] καὶ ἀναστάντες τὸ πρωῒ ὤμοσαν ἄνθρωπος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Ισαακ, καὶ ἀπῴχοντο ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ μετὰ σωτηρίας.

  [31] And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.

  [32] ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ παραγενόμενοι οἱ παῖδες Ισαακ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ φρέατος, οὗ ὤρυξαν, καὶ εἶπαν Οὐχ εὕρομεν ὕδωρ.

  [32] And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.

  [33] καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸ Ὅρκος· διὰ τοῦτο ὄνομα τῇ πόλει Φρέαρ ὅρκου ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.

  [33] And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.

  [34] Ἦν δὲ Ησαυ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα Ιουδιν τὴν θυγατέρα Βεηρ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τὴν Βασεμμαθ θυγατέρα Αιλων τοῦ Ευαίου.

  [34] And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.

  [35] καὶ ἦσαν ἐρίζουσαι τῷ Ισαακ καὶ τῇ Ρεβεκκα.

  [35] And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.

  CHAPTER 27

  [1] Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ γηρᾶσαι Ισαακ καὶ ἠμβλύνθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ὁρᾶν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ησαυ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρεσβύτερον καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Υἱέ μου· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.

  [1] And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I am here.

  [2] καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα καὶ οὐ γινώσκω τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς τελευτῆς μου·

  [2] And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.

  [3] νῦν οὖν λαβὲ τὸ σκεῦός σου, τήν τε φαρέτραν καὶ τὸ τόξον, καὶ ἔξελθε εἰς τὸ πεδίον καὶ θήρευσόν μοι θήραν

  [3] Now then take the weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,

  [4] καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα, ὡς φιλῶ ἐγώ, καὶ ἔνεγκέ μοι, ἵνα φάγω, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ἡ ψυχή μου πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν με.

  [4] and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.

  [5] Ρεβεκκα δὲ ἤκουσεν λαλοῦντος Ισαακ πρὸς Ησαυ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ. ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ησαυ εἰς τὸ πεδίον θηρεῦσαι θήραν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ·

  [5] And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.

  [6] Ρεβεκκα δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς Ιακωβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν ἐλάσσω Ἰδὲ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα τοῦ πατρός σου λαλοῦντος πρὸς Ησαυ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου λέγοντος

  [6] And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,

  [7] Ἔνεγκόν μοι θήραν καὶ ποίησόν μοι ἐδέσματα, καὶ φαγὼν εὐλογήσω σε ἐναντίον κυρίου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με.

  [7] Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.

  [8] νῦν οὖν, υἱέ, ἄκουσόν μου, καθὰ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι,

  [8] Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.

  [9] καὶ πορευθεὶς εἰς τὰ πρόβατα λαβέ μοι ἐκεῖθεν δύο ἐρίφους ἁπαλοὺς καὶ καλούς, καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἐδέσματα τῷ πατρί σου, ὡς φιλεῖ,

  [9] And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.

  [10] καὶ εἰσοίσεις τῷ πατρί σου, καὶ φάγεται, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ σε ὁ πατήρ σου πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτόν.

  [10] And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.

  [11] εἶπεν δὲ Ιακωβ πρὸς Ρεβεκκαν τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ Ἔστιν Ησαυ ὁ ἀδελφός μου ἀνὴρ δασύς, ἐγὼ δὲ ἀνὴρ λεῖος·

  [11] And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.

  [12] μήποτε ψηλαφήσῃ με ὁ πατήρ μου, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὡς καταφρονῶν καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπ’ ἐμαυτὸν κατάραν καὶ οὐκ εὐλογίαν.

  [12] Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.

  [13] εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ Ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἡ κατάρα σου, τέκνον· μόνον ὑπάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ πορευθεὶς ἔνεγκέ μοι.

  [13] And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring them me.

  [14] πορευθεὶς δὲ ἔλαβεν καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρί, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐδέσματα, καθὰ ἐφίλει ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

  [14] So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked them.

  [15] καὶ λαβοῦσα Ρεβεκκα τὴν στολὴν Ησαυ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου �
�ὴν καλήν, ἣ ἦν παρ’ αὐτῇ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ἐνέδυσεν Ιακωβ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν νεώτερον

  [15] And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.

  [16] καὶ τὰ δέρματα τῶν ἐρίφων περιέθηκεν ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ γυμνὰ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ

  [16] And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.

  [17] καὶ ἔδωκεν τὰ ἐδέσματα καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους, οὓς ἐποίησεν, εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Ιακωβ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς.

  [17] And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.

  [18] καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δέ Πάτερ. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ ἐγώ· τίς εἶ σύ, τέκνον;

  [18] And he brought them to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I am here; who art thou, son?

  [19] καὶ εἶπεν Ιακωβ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἐγὼ Ησαυ ὁ πρωτότοκός σου· ἐποίησα, καθὰ ἐλάλησάς μοι· ἀναστὰς κάθισον καὶ φάγε τῆς θήρας μου, ὅπως εὐλογήσῃ με ἡ ψυχή σου.

  [19] And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

  [20] εἶπεν δὲ Ισαακ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Τί τοῦτο, ὃ ταχὺ εὗρες, ὦ τέκνον; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ὃ παρέδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐναντίον μου.

  [20] And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.

  [21] εἶπεν δὲ Ισαακ τῷ Ιακωβ Ἔγγισόν μοι, καὶ ψηλαφήσω σε, τέκνον, εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου Ησαυ ἢ οὔ.
