¹ προσκαλεσάμενος δὲ ισαακ τὸν ιακωβ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων χανααν

² ἀναστὰς 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

³ ὁ δὲ θεός μου εὐλογήσαι σε καὶ αὐξήσαι σε καὶ πληθύναι σε καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν

⁴ καὶ 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

⁵ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ισαακ τὸν ιακωβ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν μεσοποταμίαν πρὸς λαβαν τὸν υἱὸν βαθουηλ τοῦ σύρου ἀδελφὸν δὲ ρεβεκκας τῆς μητρὸς ιακωβ καὶ ησαυ

⁶ εἶδεν 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

⁷ καὶ ἤκουσεν ιακωβ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν μεσοποταμίαν συρίας

⁸ καὶ εἶδεν ησαυ ὅτι πονηραί εἰσιν αἱ θυγατέρες χανααν ἐναντίον ισαακ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

⁹ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ησαυ πρὸς ισμαηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν μαελεθ θυγατέρα ισμαηλ τοῦ υἱοῦ αβρααμ ἀδελφὴν ναβαιωθ πρὸς ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ γυναῖκα

¹⁰ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ιακωβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς χαρραν

¹¹ καὶ 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

¹² καὶ 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

¹³ ὁ 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

¹⁴ καὶ 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

¹⁵ καὶ 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

¹⁶ καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ιακωβ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἔστιν κύριος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν

¹⁷ καὶ ἐφοβήθη καὶ εἶπεν ὡς φοβερὸς ὁ τόπος οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο ἀλλ' ἢ οἶκος θεοῦ καὶ αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

¹⁸ καὶ 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

¹⁹ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου οἶκος θεοῦ καὶ ουλαμλους ἦν ὄνομα τῇ πόλει τὸ πρότερον

²⁰ καὶ 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

²¹ καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ με μετὰ σωτηρίας εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἔσται μοι κύριος εἰς θεόν

²² καὶ ὁ λίθος οὗτος ὃν ἔστησα στήλην ἔσται μοι οἶκος θεοῦ καὶ πάντων ὧν ἐάν μοι δῷς δεκάτην ἀποδεκατώσω αὐτά σοι

¹ I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.

² I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?"

³ No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.

⁴ And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it.

⁵ One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."

⁶ I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

⁷ Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

⁸ Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁹ They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood, out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

¹⁰ and made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign on earth."

¹¹ I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;

¹² saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!"

¹³ I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!"

¹⁴ The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
