1 And Abraham85 was old,2204 and well stricken935 in age:3117 and the LORD3068 had blessed1288 853 Abraham85 in all things.3605 2 And Abraham85 said559 unto413 his eldest2205 servant5650 of his house,1004 that ruled4910 over all3605 that834 he had, Put,7760 I pray thee,4994 thy hand3027 under8478 my thigh:3409 3 And I will make thee swear7650 by the LORD,3068 the God430 of heaven,8064 and the God430 of the earth,776 that834 thou shalt not3808 take3947 a wife802 unto my son1121 of the daughters4480 1323 of the Canaanites,3669 among7130 whom834 I595 dwell:3427 4 But3588 thou shalt go1980 unto413 my country,776 and to413 my kindred,4138 and take3947 a wife802 unto my son1121 Isaac.3327 5 And the servant5650 said559 unto413 him, Peradventure194 the woman802 will not3808 be willing14 to follow1980 310 me unto413 this2063 land:776 must I needs bring7725 7725 853 thy son1121 again unto413 the land776 from whence834 4480 8033 thou camest?3318 6 And Abraham85 said559 unto413 him, Beware8104 thou that6435 thou bring7725 not 853 my son1121 thither8033 again. 7 The LORD3068 God430 of heaven,8064 which834 took3947 me from my father's house,4480 1004 1 and from the land4480 776 of my kindred,4138 and which834 spoke1696 unto me, and that834 swore7650 unto me, saying,559 Unto thy seed2233 will I give5414 853 this2063 land;776 he1931 shall send7971 his angel4397 before6440 thee, and thou shalt take3947 a wife802 unto my son1121 from thence.4480 8033 8 And if518 the woman802 will not3808 be willing14 to follow1980 310 thee, then thou shalt be clear5352 from this my oath:4480 7621 2063 only7535 bring7725 not3808 853 my son1121 thither8033 again. 9 And the servant5650 put7760 853 his hand3027 under8478 the thigh3409 of Abraham85 his master,113 and swore7650 to him concerning5921 that2088 matter.1697 10 And the servant5650 took3947 ten6235 camels1581 of the camels4480 1581 of his master,113 and departed;1980 for all3605 the goods2898 of his master113 were in his hand:3027 and he arose,6965 and went1980 to413 Mesopotamia,763 unto413 the city5892 of Nahor.5152 11 And he made his camels1581 to kneel down1288 without4480 2351 the city5892 by413 a well875 of water4325 at the time6256 of the evening,6153 even the time6256 that women go out3318 to draw7579 water. 12 And he said,559 O LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 I pray thee,4994 send me good speed7136 6440 this day,3117 and show6213 kindness2617 unto5973 my master113 Abraham.85 13 Behold,2009 I595 stand5324 here by5921 the well5869 of water;4325 and the daughters1323 of the men376 of the city5892 come out3318 to draw7579 water:4325 14 And let it come to pass,1961 that the damsel5291 to whom834 I shall say,559 413 Let down5186 thy pitcher,3537 I pray thee,4994 that I may drink;8354 and she shall say,559 Drink,8354 and I will give thy camels1581 drink8248 also:1571 let the same be she that thou hast appointed3198 for thy servant5650 Isaac;3327 and thereby shall I know3045 that3588 thou hast showed6213 kindness2617 unto5973 my master.113 15 And it came to pass,1961 before2962 he1931 had done3615 speaking,1696 that, behold,2009 Rebekah7259 came out,3318 who834 was born3205 to Bethuel,1328 son1121 of Milcah,4435 the wife802 of Nahor,5152 Abraham's85 brother,251 with her pitcher3537 upon5921 her shoulder.7926 16 And the damsel5291 was very3966 fair2896 to look upon,4758 a virgin,1330 neither3808 had any man376 known3045 her: and she went down3381 to the well,5869 and filled4390 her pitcher,3537 and came up.5927 17 And the servant5650 ran7323 to meet7125 her, and said,559 Let me, I pray thee,4994 drink1572 a little4592 water4325 of thy pitcher.4480 3537 18 And she said,559 Drink,8354 my lord:113 and she hasted,4116 and let down3381 her pitcher3537 upon5921 her hand,3027 and gave him drink.8248 19 And when she had done3615 giving him drink,8248 she said,559 I will draw7579 water for thy camels1581 also,1571 until5704 518 they have done3615 drinking.8354 20 And she hasted,4116 and emptied6168 her pitcher3537 into413 the trough,8268 and ran7323 again5750 unto413 the well875 to draw7579 water, and drew7579 for all3605 his camels.1581 21 And the man376 wondering7583 at her held his peace,2790 to know3045 whether the LORD3068 had made his journey1870 prosperous6743 or518 not.3808 22 And it came to pass,1961 as834 the camels1581 had done3615 drinking,8354 that the man376 took3947 a golden2091 earring5141 of half a shekel1235 weight,4948 and two8147 bracelets6781 for5921 her hands3027 of ten6235 shekels weight4948 of gold;2091 23 And said,559 Whose4310 daughter1323 art thou?859 tell5046 me, I pray thee:4994 is there3426 room4725 in thy father's1 house1004 for us to lodge in?3885 24 And she said559 unto413 him, I595 am the daughter1323 of Bethuel1328 the son1121 of Milcah,4435 which834 she bore3205 unto Nahor.5152 25 She said559 moreover unto413 him, We have both1571 straw8401 and1571 provender4554 enough,7227 and1571 room4725 to lodge in.3885 26 And the man376 bowed down his head,6915 and worshiped7812 the LORD.3068 27 And he said,559 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 who834 hath not3808 left destitute5800 4480 5973 my master113 of his mercy2617 and his truth:571 I595 being in the way,1870 the LORD3068 led5148 me to the house1004 of my master's113 brethren.251 28 And the damsel5291 ran,7323 and told5046 them of her mother's517 house1004 these428 things.1697 29 And Rebekah7259 had a brother,251 and his name8034 was Laban:3837 and Laban3837 ran7323 out2351 unto413 the man,376 unto413 the well.5869 30 And it came to pass,1961 when he saw7200 853 the earring5141 and bracelets6781 upon5921 his sister's269 hands,3027 and when he heard8085 853 the words1697 of Rebekah7259 his sister,269 saying,559 Thus3541 spoke1696 the man376 unto413 me; that he came935 unto413 the man;376 and, behold,2009 he stood5975 by5921 the camels1581 at5921 the well.5869 31 And he said,559 Come in,935 thou blessed1288 of the LORD;3068 wherefore4100 standest5975 thou without?2351 for I595 have prepared6437 the house,1004 and room4725 for the camels.1581 32 And the man376 came935 into the house:1004 and he ungirded6605 his camels,1581 and gave5414 straw8401 and provender4554 for the camels,1581 and water4325 to wash7364 his feet,7272 and the men's376 feet7272 that834 were with854 him. 33 And there was set7760 meat before6440 him to eat:398 but he said,559 I will not3808 eat,398 until5704 518 I have told1696 mine errand.1697 And he said,559 Speak on.1696 34 And he said,559 I595 am Abraham's85 servant.5650 35 And the LORD3068 hath blessed1288 853 my master113 greatly;3966 and he is become great:1431 and he hath given5414 him flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and silver,3701 and gold,2091 and menservants,5650 and maidservants,8198 and camels,1581 and asses.2543 36 And Sarah8283 my master's113 wife802 bore3205 a son1121 to my master113 when310 she was old:2209 and unto him hath he given5414 853 all3605 that834 he hath. 37 And my master113 made me swear,7650 saying,559 Thou shalt not3808 take3947 a wife802 to my son1121 of the daughters4480 1323 of the Canaanites,3669 in whose834 land776 I595 dwell:3427 38 But518 3808 thou shalt go1980 unto413 my father's1 house,1004 and to413 my kindred,4940 and take3947 a wife802 unto my son.1121 39 And I said559 unto413 my master,113 Peradventure194 the woman802 will not3808 follow1980 310 me. 40 And he said559 unto413 me, The LORD,3068 before6440 whom834 I walk,1980 will send7971 his angel4397 with854 thee, and prosper6743 thy way;1870 and thou shalt take3947 a wife802 for my son1121 of my kindred,4480 4940 and of my father's house:4480 1004 1 41 Then227 shalt thou be clear5352 from this my oath,4480 423 when3588 thou comest935 to413 my kindred;4940 and if518 they give5414 not3808 thee one, thou shalt be1961 clear5355 from my oath.4480 423 42 And I came935 this day3117 unto413 the well,5869 and said,559 O LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 if518 now4994 thou do3426 prosper6743 my way1870 which834 5921 I595 go:1980 43 Behold,2009 I595 stand5324 by5921 the well5869 of water;4325 and it shall come to pass,1961 that when the virgin5959 cometh forth3318 to draw7579 water, and I say559 to413 her, Give me, I pray thee,4994 a little4592 water4325 of thy pitcher4480 3537 to drink;8248 44 And she say559 to413 me, Both1571 drink8354 thou,859 and I will also1571 draw7579 for thy camels:1581 let the same1931 be the woman802 whom834 the LORD3068 hath appointed out3198 for my master's113 son.1121 45 And before2962 I589 had done3615 speaking1696 in413 mine heart,3820 behold,2009 Rebekah7259 came forth3318 with her pitcher3537 on5921 her shoulder;7926 and she went down3381 unto the well,5869 and drew7579 water: and I said559 unto413 her, Let me drink,8248 I pray thee.4994 46 And she made haste,4116 and let down3381 her pitcher3537 from4480 5921 her shoulder, and said,559 Drink,8354 and I will give thy camels1581 drink8248 also:1571 so I drank,8354 and she made the camels1581 drink8354 also.1571 47 And I asked7592 her, and said,559 Whose4310 daughter1323 art thou?859 And she said,559 The daughter1323 of Bethuel,1328 Nahor's5152 son,1121 whom834 Milcah4435 bore3205 unto him: and I put7760 the earring5141 upon5921 her face,639 and the bracelets6781 upon5921 her hands.3027 48 And I bowed down my head,6915 and worshiped7812 the LORD,3068 and blessed1288 853 the LORD3068 God430 of my master113 Abraham,85 which834 had led5148 me in the right571 way1870 to take3947 853 my master's113 brother's251 daughter1323 unto his son.1121 49 And now6258 if518 ye will3426 deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with854 my master,113 tell5046 me: and if518 not,3808 tell5046 me; that I may turn6437 to5921 the right hand,3225 or176 to5921 the left.8040 50 Then Laban3837 and Bethuel1328 answered6030 and said,559 The thing1697 proceedeth3318 from the LORD:4480 3068 we cannot3201 3808 speak1696 unto413 thee bad7451 or176 good.2896 51 Behold,2009 Rebekah7259 is before6440 thee, take3947 her, and go,1980 and let her be1961 thy master's113 son's1121 wife,802 as834 the LORD3068 hath spoken.1696 52 And it came to pass,1961 that, when834 Abraham's85 servant5650 heard8085 853 their words,1697 he worshiped7812 the LORD,3068 bowing himself to the earth.776 53 And the servant5650 brought forth3318 jewels3627 of silver,3701 and jewels3627 of gold,2091 and raiment,899 and gave5414 them to Rebekah:7259 he gave5414 also to her brother251 and to her mother517 precious things.4030 54 And they did eat398 and drink,8354 he1931 and the men376 that834 were with5973 him, and tarried all night;3885 and they rose up6965 in the morning,1242 and he said,559 Send me away7971 unto my master.113 55 And her brother251 and her mother517 said,559 Let the damsel5291 abide3427 with854 us a few days,3117 at the least176 ten;6218 after that310 she shall go.1980 56 And he said559 unto413 them, Hinder309 me not,408 seeing the LORD3068 hath prospered6743 my way;1870 send me away7971 that I may go1980 to my master.113 57 And they said,559 We will call7121 the damsel,5291 and inquire7592 at 853 her mouth.6310 58 And they called7121 Rebekah,7259 and said559 unto413 her, Wilt thou go1980 with5973 this2088 man?376 And she said,559 I will go.1980 59 And they sent away7971 853 Rebekah7259 their sister,269 and her nurse,3243 and Abraham's85 servant,5650 and his men.376 60 And they blessed1288 853 Rebekah,7259 and said559 unto her, Thou859 art our sister,269 be1961 thou the mother of thousands505 of millions,7233 and let thy seed2233 possess3423 853 the gate8179 of those which hate8130 them. 61 And Rebekah7259 arose,6965 and her damsels,5291 and they rode7392 upon5921 the camels,1581 and followed1980 310 the man:376 and the servant5650 took3947 853 Rebekah,7259 and went his way.1980 62 And Isaac3327 came935 from the way4480 935 of the well Lahai-roi;883 for he1931 dwelt3427 in the south5045 country.776 63 And Isaac3327 went out3318 to meditate7742 in the field7704 at the eventide:6437 6153 and he lifted up5375 his eyes,5869 and saw,7200 and, behold,2009 the camels1581 were coming.935 64 And Rebekah7259 lifted up5375 853 her eyes,5869 and when she saw7200 853 Isaac,3327 she lighted5307 off4480 5921 the camel.1581 65 For she had said559 unto413 the servant,5650 What4310 man376 is this1976 that walketh1980 in the field7704 to meet7125 us? And the servant5650 had said,559 It1931 is my master:113 therefore she took3947 a veil,6809 and covered herself.3680 66 And the servant5650 told5608 Isaac3327 853 all3605 things1697 that834 he had done.6213 67 And Isaac3327 brought935 her into his mother517 Sarah's8283 tent,168 and took3947 853 Rebekah,7259 and she became1961 his wife;802 and he loved157 her: and Isaac3327 was comforted5162 after310 his mother's517 death. |
1 καὶ Αβρααμ ἦν πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμερῶν καὶ κύριος εὐλόγησεν τὸν Αβρααμ κατὰ πάντα 2 καὶ εἶπεν Αβρααμ τῷ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ πρεσβυτέρῳ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ τῷ ἄρχοντι πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ θὲς τὴν χεῖρά σου ὑπὸ τὸν μηρόν μου 3 καὶ ἐξορκιῶ σε κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὸν θεὸν τῆς γῆς ἵνα μὴ λάβῃς γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ισαακ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων μεθ᾽ ὧν ἐγὼ οἰκῶ ἐν αὐτοῖς 4 ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου οὗ ἐγενόμην πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ισαακ ἐκεῖθεν 5 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ παῖς μήποτε οὐ βούλεται ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὀπίσω εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἀποστρέψω τὸν υἱόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν ὅθεν ἐξῆλθες ἐκεῖθεν 6 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν Αβρααμ πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸν υἱόν μου ἐκεῖ 7 κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῆς γῆς ὃς ἔλαβέν με ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἐγενήθην ὃς ἐλάλησέν μοι καὶ ὤμοσέν μοι λέγων σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ ἔμπροσθέν σου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου

Αβρααμ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου 10 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ παῖς δέκα καμήλους ἀπὸ τῶν καμήλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ μεθ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν Ναχωρ 11 καὶ ἐκοίμισεν τὰς καμήλους ἔξω τῆς πόλεως παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὕδατος τὸ πρὸς ὀψέ ἡνίκα ἐκπορεύονται αἱ ὑδρευόμεναι 12 καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ εὐόδωσον ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ σήμερον καὶ ποίησον ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ 13 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος αἱ δὲ θυγατέρες τῶν οἰκούντων τὴν πόλιν ἐκπορεύονται ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ 14 καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος ᾗ ἂν ἐγὼ εἴπω ἐπίκλινον τὴν ὑδρίαν σου ἵνα πίω καὶ εἴπῃ μοι πίε καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ ἕως ἂν παύσωνται πίνουσαι ταύτην ἡτοίμασας τῷ παιδί σου Ισαακ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι ἐποίησας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Αβρααμ 15 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι αὐτὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ καὶ ἰδοὺ Ρεβεκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἡ τεχθεῖσα Βαθουηλ υἱῷ Μελχας τῆς γυναικὸς Ναχωρ ἀδελφοῦ δὲ Αβρααμ ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῆς 16 ἡ δὲ παρθένος ἦν καλὴ τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα παρθένος ἦν ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν καταβᾶσα δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν ἔπλησεν τὴν ὑδρίαν καὶ ἀνέβη 17 ἐπέδραμεν δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου 18 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν πίε κύριε καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ καθεῖλεν τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτόν 19 ἕως ἐπαύσατο πίνων καὶ εἶπεν καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι ἕως ἂν πᾶσαι πίωσιν 20 καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ ἐξεκένωσεν τὴν ὑδρίαν εἰς τὸ ποτιστήριον καὶ ἔδραμεν ἔτι ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἀντλῆσαι καὶ ὑδρεύσατο πάσαις ταῖς καμήλοις 21 ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος κατεμάνθανεν αὐτὴν καὶ παρεσιώπα τοῦ γνῶναι εἰ εὐόδωκεν κύριος τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ οὔ 22 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἐπαύσαντο πᾶσαι αἱ κάμηλοι πίνουσαι ἔλαβεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐνώτια χρυσᾶ ἀνὰ δραχμὴν ὁλκῆς καὶ δύο ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς δέκα χρυσῶν ὁλκὴ αὐτῶν 23 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπεν θυγάτηρ τίνος εἶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι εἰ ἔστιν παρὰ τῷ πατρί σου τόπος ἡμῖν καταλῦσαι 24 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ θυγάτηρ Βαθουηλ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ τοῦ Μελχας ὃν ἔτεκεν τῷ Ναχωρ 25 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα πολλὰ παρ᾽ ἡμῖν καὶ τόπος τοῦ καταλῦσαι 26 καὶ εὐδοκήσας ὁ ἄνθρωπος προσεκύνησεν κυρίῳ 27 καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ ὃς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐμὲ εὐόδωκεν κύριος εἰς οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου 28 καὶ δραμοῦσα ἡ παῖς ἀπήγγειλεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα 29 τῇ δὲ Ρεβεκκα ἀδελφὸς ἦν ᾧ ὄνομα Λαβαν καὶ ἔδραμεν Λαβαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἔξω ἐπὶ τὴν πηγήν 30 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα εἶδεν τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅτε ἤκουσεν τὰ ῥήματα Ρεβεκκας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ λεγούσης οὕτως λελάληκέν μοι ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκότος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς 31 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δεῦρο εἴσελθε εὐλογητὸς κύριος ἵνα τί ἕστηκας ἔξω ἐγὼ δὲ ἡτοίμακα τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τόπον ταῖς καμήλοις 32 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ἀπέσαξεν τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα ταῖς καμήλοις καὶ ὕδωρ νίψασθαι τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ποσὶν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ 33 καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ἄρτους φαγεῖν καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ φάγω ἕως τοῦ λαλῆσαί με τὰ ῥήματά μου καὶ εἶπαν λάλησον 34 καὶ εἶπεν παῖς Αβρααμ ἐγώ εἰμι 35 κύριος δὲ εὐλόγησεν τὸν κύριόν μου σφόδρα καὶ ὑψώθη καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας καμήλους καὶ ὄνους 36 καὶ ἔτεκεν Σαρρα ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ κυρίου μου υἱὸν ἕνα τῷ κυρίῳ μου μετὰ τὸ γηρᾶσαι αὐτόν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ 37 καὶ ὥρκισέν με ὁ κύριός μου λέγων οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων ἐν οἷς ἐγὼ παροικῶ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν 38 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκεῖθεν 39 εἶπα δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ μου μήποτε οὐ πορεύσεται ἡ γυνὴ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ 40 καὶ εἶπέν μοι κύριος ᾧ εὐηρέστησα ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ καὶ εὐοδώσει τὴν ὁδόν σου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου 41 τότε ἀθῷος ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρᾶς μου ἡνίκα γὰρ ἐὰν ἔλθῃς εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν φυλὴν καὶ μή σοι δῶσιν καὶ ἔσῃ ἀθῷος ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁρκισμοῦ μου 42 καὶ ἐλθὼν σήμερον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν εἶπα κύριε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ εἰ σὺ εὐοδοῖς τὴν ὁδόν μου ἣν νῦν ἐγὼ πορεύομαι ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν 43 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφέστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῆς πόλεως ἐξελεύσονται ὑδρεύσασθαι ὕδωρ καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος ᾗ ἂν ἐγὼ εἴπω πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου 44 καὶ εἴπῃ μοι καὶ σὺ πίε καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι αὕτη ἡ γυνή ἣν ἡτοίμασεν κύριος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ θεράποντι Ισαακ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι πεποίηκας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Αβρααμ 45 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι με λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ εὐθὺς Ρεβεκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων καὶ κατέβη ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν καὶ ὑδρεύσατο εἶπα δὲ αὐτῇ πότισόν με 46 καὶ σπεύσασα καθεῖλεν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πίε σύ καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ καὶ ἔπιον καὶ τὰς καμήλους μου ἐπότισεν 47 καὶ ἠρώτησα αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπα τίνος εἶ θυγάτηρ ἡ δὲ ἔφη θυγάτηρ Βαθουηλ εἰμὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ναχωρ ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Μελχα καὶ περιέθηκα αὐτῇ τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλια περὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς 48 καὶ εὐδοκήσας προσεκύνησα κυρίῳ καὶ εὐλόγησα κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ ὃς εὐόδωσέν μοι ἐν ὁδῷ ἀληθείας λαβεῖν τὴν θυγατέρα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ 49 εἰ οὖν ποιεῖτε ὑμεῖς ἔλεος καὶ δικαιοσύνην πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι εἰ δὲ μή ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι ἵνα ἐπιστρέψω εἰς δεξιὰν ἢ εἰς ἀριστεράν 50 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Λαβαν καὶ Βαθουηλ εἶπαν παρὰ κυρίου ἐξῆλθεν τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦτο οὐ δυνησόμεθα οὖν σοι ἀντειπεῖν κακὸν καλῷ 51 ἰδοὺ Ρεβεκκα ἐνώπιόν σου λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε καὶ ἔστω γυνὴ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ κυρίου σου καθὰ ἐλάλησεν κύριος 52 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν παῖδα τὸν Αβρααμ τῶν ῥημάτων τούτων προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν κυρίῳ 53 καὶ ἐξενέγκας ὁ παῖς σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμὸν ἔδωκεν Ρεβεκκα καὶ δῶρα ἔδωκεν τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς 54 καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὄντες καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν καὶ ἀναστὰς πρωὶ εἶπεν ἐκπέμψατέ με ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου 55 εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μεινάτω ἡ παρθένος μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ἡμέρας ὡσεὶ δέκα καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπελεύσεται 56 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς μὴ κατέχετέ με καὶ κύριος εὐόδωσεν τὴν ὁδόν μου ἐκπέμψατέ με ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου 57 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν καλέσωμεν τὴν παῖδα καὶ ἐρωτήσωμεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς 58 καὶ ἐκάλεσαν Ρεβεκκαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ πορεύσῃ μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου ἡ δὲ εἶπεν πορεύσομαι 59 καὶ ἐξέπεμψαν Ρεβεκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν παῖδα τὸν Αβρααμ καὶ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ 60 καὶ εὐλόγησαν Ρεβεκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ ἀδελφὴ ἡμῶν εἶ γίνου εἰς χιλιάδας μυριάδων καὶ κληρονομησάτω τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰς πόλεις τῶν ὑπεναντίων 61 ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Ρεβεκκα καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς ἐπέβησαν ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀναλαβὼν ὁ παῖς τὴν Ρεβεκκαν ἀπῆλθεν 62 Ισαακ δὲ ἐπορεύετο διὰ τῆς ἐρήμου κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως αὐτὸς δὲ κατῴκει ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πρὸς λίβα 63 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ισαακ ἀδολεσχῆσαι εἰς τὸ πεδίον τὸ πρὸς δείλης καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν καμήλους ἐρχομένας 64 καὶ ἀναβλέψασα Ρεβεκκα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν τὸν Ισαακ καὶ κατεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τῆς καμήλου 65 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδί τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὁ πορευόμενος ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῖν εἶπεν δὲ ὁ παῖς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κύριός μου ἡ δὲ λαβοῦσα τὸ θέριστρον περιεβάλετο 66 καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ παῖς τῷ Ισαακ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ἃ ἐποίησεν 67 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ισαακ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν Ρεβεκκαν καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ γυνή καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτήν καὶ παρεκλήθη Ισαακ περὶ Σαρρας τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ |

1 Erat autem Abraham senex, dierumque multorum: et Dominus in cunctis benedixerat ei. 2 Dixitque ad servum seniorem domus suæ, qui præerat omnibus quæ habebat: Pone manum tuam subter femur meum, 3 ut adjurem te per Dominum Deum cæli et terræ, ut non accipias uxorem filio meo de filiabus Chananæorum, inter quos habito: 4 sed ad terram et cognationem meam proficiscaris et inde accipias uxorem filio meo Isaac. 5 Respondit servus: Si noluerit mulier venire mecum in terram hanc, numquid reducere debeo filium tuum ad locum, de quo egressus es? 6 Dixitque Abraham: Cave nequando reducas filium meum illuc. 7 Dominus Deus cæli, qui tulit me de domo patris mei, et de terra nativitatis meæ, qui locutus est mihi, et juravit mihi, dicens: Semini tuo dabo terram hanc: ipse mittet angelum suum coram te, et accipies inde uxorem filio meo: 8 sin autem mulier noluerit sequi te, non teneberis juramento: filium meum tantum ne reducas illuc. 9 Posuit ergo servus manum sub femore Abraham domini sui, et juravit illi super sermone hoc. 10 Tulitque decem camelos de grege domini sui, et abiit, ex omnibus bonis ejus portans secum, profectusque perrexit in Mesopotamiam ad urbem Nachor. 11 Cumque camelos fecisset accumbere extra oppidum juxta puteum aquæ vespere, tempore quo solent mulieres egredi ad hauriendam aquam, dixit: 12 Domine Deus domini mei Abraham, occurre, obsecro, mihi hodie, et fac misericordiam cum domino meo Abraham. 13 Ecce ego sto prope fontem aquæ, et filiæ habitatorum hujus civitatis egredientur ad hauriendam aquam. 14 Igitur puella, cui ego dixero: Inclina hydriam tuam ut bibam: et illa responderit: Bibe, quin et camelis tuis dabo potum: ipsa est quam præparasti servo tuo Isaac: et per hoc intelligam quod feceris misericordiam cum domino meo. 15 Necdum intra se verba compleverat, et ecce Rebecca egrediebatur, filia Bathuel, filii Melchæ uxoris Nachor fratris Abraham, habens hydriam in scapula sua: 16 puella decora nimis, virgoque pulcherrima, et incognita viro: descenderat autem ad fontem, et impleverat hydriam, ac revertebatur. 17 Occurritque ei servus, et ait: Pauxillum aquæ mihi ad bibendum præbe de hydria tua. 18 Quæ respondit: Bibe, domine mi: celeriterque deposuit hydriam super ulnam suam, et dedit ei potum. 19 Cumque ille bibisset, adjecit: Quin et camelis tuis hauriam aquam, donec cuncti bibant. 20 Effundensque hydriam in canalibus, recurrit ad puteum ut hauriret aquam: et haustam omnibus camelis dedit. 21 Ipse autem contemplabatur eam tacitus, scire volens utrum prosperum iter suum fecisset Dominus, an non. 22 Postquam autem biberunt cameli, protulit vir inaures aureas, appendentes siclos duos, et armillas totidem pondo siclorum decem. 23 Dixitque ad eam: Cujus es filia? indica mihi, est in domo patris tui locus ad manendum? 24 Quæ respondit: Filia sum Bathuelis, filii Melchæ, quem peperit ipsi Nachor. 25 Et addidit, dicens: Palearum quoque et fœni plurimum est apud nos, et locus spatiosus ad manendum. 26 Inclinavit se homo, et adoravit Dominum, 27 dicens: Benedictus Dominus Deus domini mei Abraham, qui non abstulit misericordiam et veritatem suam a domino meo, et recto itinere me perduxit in domum fratris domini mei. 28 Cucurrit itaque puella, et nuntiavit in domum matris suæ omnia quæ audierat. 29 Habebat autem Rebecca fratrem nomine Laban, qui festinus egressus est ad hominem, ubi erat fons. 30 Cumque vidisset inaures et armillas in manibus sororis suæ, et audisset cuncta verba referentis: Hæc locutus est mihi homo: venit ad virum qui stabat juxta camelos, et prope fontem aquæ: 31 dixitque ad eum: Ingredere, benedicte Domini: cur foris stas? præparavi domum, et locum camelis. 32 Et introduxit eum in hospitium: ac destravit camelos, deditque paleas et fœnum, et aquam ad lavandos pedes ejus, et virorum qui venerant cum eo. 33 Et appositus est in conspectu ejus panis. Qui ait: Non comedam, donec loquar sermones meos. Respondit ei: Loquere. 34 At ille: Servus, inquit, Abraham sum: 35 et Dominus benedixit domino meo valde, magnificatusque est: et dedit ei oves et boves, argentum et aurum, servos et ancillas, camelos et asinos. 36 Et peperit Sara uxor domini mei filium domino meo in senectute sua, deditque illi omnia quæ habuerat. 37 Et adjuravit me dominus meus, dicens: Non accipies uxorem filio meo de filiabus Chananæorum, in quorum terra habito: 38 sed ad domum patris mei perges, et de cognatione mea accipies uxorem filio meo. 39 Ego vero respondi domino meo: Quid si noluerit venire mecum mulier? 40 Dominus, ait, in cujus conspectu ambulo, mittet angelum suum tecum, et diriget viam tuam: accipiesque uxorem filio meo de cognatione mea, et de domo patris mei. 41 Innocens eris a maledictione mea, cum veneris ad propinquos meos, et non dederint tibi. 42 Veni ergo hodie ad fontem aquæ, et dixi: Domine Deus domini mei Abraham, si direxisti viam meam, in qua nunc ambulo, 43 ecce sto juxta fontem aquæ, et virgo, quæ egredietur ad hauriendam aquam, audierit a me: Da mihi pauxillum aquæ ad bibendum ex hydria tua: 44 et dixerit mihi: Et tu bibe, et camelis tuis hauriam: ipsa est mulier, quam præparavit Dominus filio domini mei. 45 Dumque hæc tacitus mecum volverem, apparuit Rebecca veniens cum hydria, quam portabat in scapula: descenditque ad fontem, et hausit aquam. Et aio ad eam: Da mihi paululum bibere. 46 Quæ festinans deposuit hydriam de humero, et dixit mihi: Et tu bibe, et camelis tuis tribuam potum. Bibi, et adaquavit camelos. 47 Interrogavique eam, et dixi: Cujus es filia? Quæ respondit: Filia Bathuelis sum, filii Nachor, quem peperit ei Melcha. Suspendi itaque inaures ad ornandam faciem ejus, et armillas posui in manibus ejus. 48 Pronusque adoravi Dominum, benedicens Domino Deo domini mei Abraham, qui perduxit me recto itinere, ut sumerem filiam fratris domini mei filio ejus. 49 Quam ob rem si facitis misericordiam et veritatem cum domino meo, indicate mihi: sin autem aliud placet, et hoc dicite mihi, ut vadam ad dextram, sive ad sinistram. 50 Responderuntque Laban et Bathuel: A Domino egressus est sermo: non possumus extra placitum ejus quidquam aliud loqui tecum. 51 En Rebecca coram te est, tolle eam, et proficiscere, et sit uxor filii domini tui, sicut locutus est Dominus. 52 Quod cum audisset puer Abraham, procidens adoravit in terram Dominum. 53 Prolatisque vasis argenteis, et aureis, ac vestibus, dedit ea Rebecca pro munere: fratribus quoque ejus et matri dona obtulit. 54 Inito convivio, vescentes pariter et bibentes manserunt ibi. Surgens autem mane, locutus est puer: Dimitte me, ut vadam ad dominum meum. 55 Responderuntque fratres ejus et mater: Maneat puella saltem decem dies apud nos, et postea proficiscetur. 56 Nolite, ait, me retinere, quia Dominus direxit viam meam: dimittite me ut pergam ad dominum meum. 57 Et dixerunt: Vocemus puellam, et quæramus ipsius voluntatem. 58 Cumque vocata venisset, sciscitati sunt: Vis ire cum homine isto? Quæ ait: Vadam. 59 Dimiserunt ergo eam, et nutricem illius, servumque Abraham, et comites ejus, 60 imprecantes prospera sorori suæ, atque dicentes: Soror nostra es, crescas in mille millia, et possideat semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum. 61 Igitur Rebecca et puellæ illius, ascensis camelis, secutæ sunt virum: qui festinus revertebatur ad dominum suum. 62 Eo autem tempore deambulabat Isaac per viam quæ ducit ad puteum, cujus nomen est Viventis et videntis: habitabat enim in terra australi: 63 et egressus fuerat ad meditandum in agro, inclinata jam die: cumque elevasset oculos, vidit camelos venientes procul. 64 Rebecca quoque, conspecto Isaac, descendit de camelo, 65 et ait ad puerum: Quis est ille homo qui venit per agrum in occursum nobis? Dixitque ei: Ipse est dominus meus. At illa tollens cito pallium, operuit se. 66 Servus autem cuncta, quæ gesserat, narravit Isaac. 67 Qui introduxit eam in tabernaculum Saræ matris suæ, et accepit eam uxorem: et in tantum dilexit eam, ut dolorem, qui ex morte matris ejus acciderat, temperaret. |
