¹ Tada se podiže Jakov i otide u zemlju istočnu.

² I obzirući se ugleda studenac u polju; i gle, tri stada ovaca ležahu kod njega, jer se na onom studencu pojahu stada, a veliki kamen beše studencu na vratima.

³ Onde se skupljahu sva stada, te pastiri odvaljivahu kamen s vrata studencu i pojahu stada, i posle opet privaljivahu kamen na vrata studencu na njegovo mesto.

⁴ I Jakov im reče: Braćo, odakle ste? Rekoše: Iz Harana smo.

⁵ A on im reče: Poznajete li Lavana sina Nahorovog? Oni rekoše: Poznajemo.

⁶ On im reče: Je li zdrav? Rekoše: Jeste, i evo Rahilje kćeri njegove, gde ide sa stadom.

⁷ I on reče: Eto još je rano, niti je vreme vraćati stoku; napojte stoku pa idite i pasite je.

⁸ A oni rekoše: Ne možemo, dokle se ne skupe sva stada, da odvalimo kamen s vrata studencu, onda ćemo napojiti stoku.

⁹ Dok on još govoraše s njima, dođe Rahilja sa stadom oca svog, jer ona pasaše ovce.

¹⁰ A kad Jakov vide Rahilju kćer Lavana ujaka svog, i stado Lavana ujaka svog, pristupi Jakov i odvali kamen studencu s vrata, i napoji stado Lavana ujaka svog.

¹¹ I poljubi Jakov Rahilju, i povikavši zaplaka se.

¹² I kaza se Jakov Rahilji da je rod ocu njenom i da je sin Revečin; a ona otrča te javi ocu svom.

¹³ A kad Lavan ču za Jakova sina sestre svoje, istrča mu na susret, i zagrli ga i poljubi, i uvede u svoju kuću. I on pripovedi Lavanu sve ovo.

¹⁴ A Lavan mu reče: Ta ti si kost moja i telo moje. I osta kod njega ceo mesec dana.

¹⁵ Tada reče Lavan Jakovu: Zar badava da mi služiš, što si mi rod? Kaži mi šta će ti biti plata?

¹⁶ A Lavan imaše dve kćeri: starijoj beše ime Lija, a mlađoj Rahilja.

¹⁷ I u Lije behu kvarne oči, a Rahilja beše lepog stasa i lepog lica.

¹⁸ I Jakovu omile Rahilja, te reče: Služiću ti sedam godina za Rahilju, mlađu kćer tvoju.

¹⁹ A Lavan mu reče: Bolje tebi da je dam nego drugom; ostani kod mene.

²⁰ I odsluži Jakov za Rahilju sedam godina, i učiniše mu se kao nekoliko dana, jer je ljubljaše.

²¹ I reče Jakov Lavanu: Daj mi ženu, jer mi se navrši vreme, da legnem s njom.

²² I sazva Lavan sve ljude iz onog mesta i učini gozbu.

²³ A uveče uze Liju kćer svoju i uvede je k Jakovu, i on leže s njom.

²⁴ I Lavan dade Zelfu robinju svoju Liji kćeri svojoj da joj bude robinja.

²⁵ A kad bi ujutru, gle, ono beše Lija; te reče Jakov Lavanu: Šta si mi to učinio? Ne služim li za Rahilju kod tebe? Zašto si me prevario?

²⁶ A Lavan mu reče: Ne biva u našem mestu da se uda mlađa pre starije.

²⁷ Navrši nedelju dana s tom, pa ćemo ti dati i drugu za službu što ćeš služiti kod mene još sedam godina drugih.

²⁸ Jakov učini tako, i navrši s njom nedelju dana, pa mu dade Lavan Rahilju kćer svoju za ženu.

²⁹ I dade Lavan Rahilji kćeri svojoj robinju svoju Valu da joj bude robinja.

³⁰ I tako leže Jakov s Rahiljom; i voljaše Rahilju nego Liju, i stade služiti kod Lavana još sedam drugih godina.

³¹ A Gospod videći da Jakov ne mari za Liju, otvori njoj matericu, a Rahilja osta nerotkinja.

³² I Lija zatrudne, i rodi sina, i nadede mu ime Ruvim, govoreći: Gospod pogleda na jade moje, sada će me ljubiti muž moj.

³³ I opet zatrudne, i rodi sina i reče: Gospod ču da sam prezrena, pa mi dade i ovog. I nadede mu ime Simeun.

³⁴ I opet zatrudne, i rodi sina, i reče: Da ako se sada većpriljubi k meni muž moj, kad mu rodih tri sina. Zato mu nadeše ime Levije.

³⁵ I zatrudne opet, i rodi sina, i reče: Sada ću hvaliti Gospoda. Zato mu nadede ime Juda; i presta rađati.

³⁵ A on mu reče: Dođe brat tvoj s prevarom, i odnese tvoj blagoslov.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

³ I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

⁴ If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don't put him to death;

⁵ then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.

⁶ "'The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

⁷ "'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.

⁸ You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

⁹ "'For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁰ "'The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

¹¹ "'The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹² "'If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them.

¹³ "'If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁴ "'If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.

¹⁵ "'If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

¹⁶ "'If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁷ "'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸ "'If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

¹⁹ "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.

²⁰ If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

²¹ "'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

²² "'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.

²³ You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²⁴ But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

²⁵ "'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

²⁶ You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

²⁷ "'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'"
