Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 31:1 ¶ And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.

 31:1 ¶ And he heard°°° the words° of Laban's° sons,° saying,°° Jacob° hath taken away°°° all° that° [was] our father's;° and of [that] which°° [was] our father's° hath he gotten°°° all° this° glory.°

 31:2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not toward him as before.

 31:2 And Jacob° beheld°°° the countenance° of Laban,° and, behold,° it [was] not° toward° him as° before.°°

 31:3 And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy father, and to thy family, and I will be with thee.

 31:3 And Yahweh° said°° unto° Jacob,° Return°° unto° the land° of thy fathers,° and to thy kindred;° and I will be° with° thee.

 31:4 And Jacob sent and called Leah{gr.Lea} and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.

 31:4 And Jacob° sent°° and called°° Rachel° and Leah° to the field° unto° his flock,°

 31:5 And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father was with me.

 31:5 And said°° unto them, I° see°°° your father's° countenance,° that° it [is] not° toward° me as° before;°° but the Elohim° of my father° hath been°° with° me.

 31:6 And ye too know that with all my might I have served your father.

 31:6 And ye° know°° that° with all° my power° I have served°°° your father.°

 31:7 But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.

 31:7 And your father° hath deceived°° me, and changed°°° my wages° ten° times;° but Elohim° suffered° him°° not° to hurt°°° me.°

 31:8 If he should say thus, The speckled shall be thy reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be thy reward, then would all the cattle bear white.

 31:8 If° he said°° thus,° The speckled° shall be° thy wages;° then all° the cattle° bare°° speckled:° and if° he said°° thus,° The ringstraked° shall be° thy hire;° then bare°° all° the cattle° ringstraked.°

 31:9 So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

 31:9 Thus Elohim° hath taken away°°° the cattle° of your father,° and given°° [them] to me.

 31:10 And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I beheld with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.

 31:10 And it came to pass° at the time° that the cattle° conceived,°° that I lifted up°° mine eyes,° and saw°° in a dream,° and, behold,° the rams° which leaped°° upon° the cattle° [were] ringstraked,° speckled,° and grisled.°

 31:11 And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?

 31:11 And the angel° of Elohim° spake°° unto° me in a dream,° [saying], Jacob:° And I said,°° Here° [am] I.

 31:12 And he said, Look up with thine eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to thee.

 31:12 And he said,°° Lift up°° now° thine eyes,° and see,°° all° the rams° which leap°° upon° the cattle° [are] ringstraked,° speckled,° and grisled:° for° I have seen°°° all° that° Laban° doeth°° unto thee.

 31:13 I am God that appeared to thee in the place of God where thou anointedst a pillar to me, and vowedst to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of thy nativity, and I will be with thee.

 31:13 I° [am] the El° of Bethel,° where°° thou anointedst°° the pillar,° [and] where°° thou vowedst°° a vow° unto me: now° arise,°° get thee out°° from° this° land,° and return°° unto° the land° of thy kindred.°

 31:14 And Rachel and Leah{gr.Lea} answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?

 31:14 And Rachel° and Leah° answered°° and said°° unto him, [Is there] yet° any portion° or inheritance° for us in our father's° house?°

 31:15 Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.

 31:15 Are we not° counted°° of him strangers?° for° he hath sold°° us, and hath quite°° devoured°° also°° our money.°

 31:16 All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatsoever God has said to thee.

 31:16 For° all° the riches° which° Elohim° hath taken°° from our father,°° that° [is] ours, and our children's:° now° then, whatsoever°° Elohim° hath said°° unto° thee, do.°°

 31:17 ¶ And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;

 31:17 ¶ Then Jacob° rose up,°° and set°°° his sons° and his wives° upon° camels;°

 31:18 and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Padanaram{gr.Mesopotamia}, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}.

 31:18 And he carried away°°° all° his cattle,° and all° his goods° which° he had gotten,°° the cattle° of his getting,° which° he had gotten°° in Padanaram,° for to go°° to° Isaac° his father° in the land° of Canaan.°

 31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.

 31:19 And Laban° went°° to shear°°° his sheep:° and Rachel° had stolen°°° the images° that° [were] her father's.°

 31:20 And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.

 31:20 And Jacob° stole away°°° unawares° to Laban° the Syrian,° in that° he told°° him not° that° he° fled.°°

 31:21 And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Gilead{gr.Galaad}.

 31:21 So he° fled°° with all° that° he had; and he rose up,°° and passed over°°° the river,° and set°°° his face° [toward] the mount° Gilead.°

 31:22 But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.

 31:22 And it was told°° Laban° on the third° day° that° Jacob° was fled.°°

 31:23 And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Gilead{gr.Galaad}.

 31:23 And he took°°° his brethren° with° him, and pursued°° after° him° seven° days'° journey;° and they overtook°° him in the mount° Gilead.°

 31:24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.

 31:24 And Elohim° came°° to° Laban° the Syrian° in a dream° by night,° and said°° unto him, Take heed°° that° thou speak°° not to° Jacob° either good°° or° bad.°

 31:25 ¶ And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Gilead{gr.Galaad}.

 31:25 ¶ Then Laban° overtook°°° Jacob.° Now Jacob° had pitched°°° his tent° in the mount:° and Laban° with° his brethren° pitched°° in the mount° of Gilead.°

 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done? wherefore didst thou run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

 31:26 And Laban° said°° to Jacob,° What° hast thou done,°° that thou hast stolen away°°° unawares° to me, and carried away°°° my daughters,° as captives°° [taken] with the sword?°

 31:27 Whereas if thou hadst told me, I would have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.

 31:27 Wherefore° didst thou flee away°°° secretly,°°° and steal away°° from me; and didst not° tell°° me, that I might have sent thee away°° with mirth,° and with songs,° with tabret,° and with harp?°

 31:28 And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then thou hast wrought foolishly.

 31:28 And hast not° suffered°° me to kiss°° my sons° and my daughters?° thou hast now° done foolishly°° in [so] doing.°°

 31:29 And now my hand has power to hurt thee; but the God of thy father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not evil words to Jacob.

 31:29 It is° in the power° of my hand° to do°° you hurt:° but the Elohim° of your father° spake°° unto° me yesternight,° saying,°° Take thou heed°° that thou speak°° not°° to° Jacob° either good°° or° bad.°

 31:30 Now then go on thy way, for thou hast earnestly desired to depart to the house of thy father; wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?

 31:30 And now,° [though] thou wouldest needs°° be gone,°° because° thou sore°° longedst°° after thy father's° house,° [yet] wherefore° hast thou stolen°°° my elohim?°

 31:31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time thou shouldest take away thy daughters from me, and all my possessions.

 31:31 And Jacob° answered°° and said°° to Laban,° Because° I was afraid:°° for° I said,°° Peradventure° thou wouldest take by force°°° thy daughters° from°° me.

 31:32 And Jacob said, With whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of thy property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.

 31:32 With° whomsoever° thou findest°°° thy elohim,° let him not° live:°° before° our brethren° discern°° thou what° [is] thine with° me, and take°° [it] to thee. For Jacob° knew°° not° that° Rachel° had stolen°° them.

 31:33 And Laban went in and searched in the house of Leah{gr.Lea}, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Leah{gr.Lea}, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maid-servants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.

 31:33 And Laban° went°° into Jacob's° tent,° and into Leah's° tent,° and into the two° maidservants'° tents;° but he found°° [them] not.° Then went° he out°° of Leah's° tent,°°° and entered°° into Rachel's° tent.°

 31:34 And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camel's packs, and sat upon them.

 31:34 Now Rachel° had taken°°° the images,° and put°° them in the camel's° furniture,° and sat°° upon° them. And Laban° searched°°° all° the tent,° but found°° [them] not.°

 31:35 And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.

 31:35 And she said°° to° her father,° Let it not° displease°°° my adon° that° I cannot°°° rise up°° before°° thee;° for° the custom° of women° [is] upon me. And he searched,°° but found°° not°° the images.°

 31:36 ¶ And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that thou hast pursued after me,

 31:36 ¶ And Jacob° was wroth,°° and chode°° with Laban:° and Jacob° answered°° and said°° to Laban,° What° [is] my trespass?° what° [is] my sin,° that° thou hast so hotly pursued°° after° me?°

 31:37 and that thou hast searched all the furniture of my house? what hast thou found of all the furniture of thine house? set it here between thy relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.

 31:37 Whereas° thou hast searched°°° all° my stuff,° what° hast thou found°° of all°° thy household° stuff?° set°° [it] here° before° my brethren° and thy brethren,° that they may judge°° betwixt° us both.°

 31:38 These twenty years have I been with thee; thy sheep, and thy she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of thy cattle.

 31:38 This° twenty° years° [have] I° [been] with° thee; thy ewes° and thy she goats° have not° cast their young,°° and the rams° of thy flock° have I not° eaten.°°

 31:39 That which was taken of beasts I brought not to thee; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.

 31:39 That which was torn° [of beasts] I brought°° not° unto° thee; I° bare the loss°° of it; of my hand°° didst thou require°° it, [whether] stolen°° by day,° or stolen°° by night.°

 31:40 I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

 31:40 [Thus] I was;° in the day° the drought° consumed°° me, and the frost° by night;° and my sleep° departed°° from mine eyes.°°

 31:41 These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years among thy sheep, and thou didst falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.

 31:41 Thus° have I been twenty° years° in thy house;° I served° thee°° fourteen°° years° for thy two° daughters,° and six° years° for thy cattle:° and thou hast changed°°° my wages° ten° times.°

 31:42 Unless I had the God of my father Abraham{gr.Abraam}, and the fear of Isaac, now thou wouldest have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.

 31:42 Except° the Elohim° of my father,° the Elohim° of Abraham,° and the fear° of Isaac,° had been° with me, surely° thou hadst sent me away°° now° empty.° Elohim° hath seen°°° mine affliction° and the labour° of my hands,° and rebuked°° [thee] yesternight.°

 31:43 ¶ And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which thou seest are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them to-day, or their children which they bore?

 31:43 ¶ And Laban° answered°° and said°° unto° Jacob,° [These] daughters° [are] my daughters,° and [these] children° [are] my children,° and [these] cattle° [are] my cattle,° and all° that° thou° seest°° [is] mine: and what° can I do°° this day° unto these° my daughters,° or° unto their children° which° they have born?°°

 31:44 Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and thou, and it shall be for a witness between me and thee; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and thee.

 31:44 Now° therefore come° thou,°° let us make°° a covenant,° I° and thou;° and let it be° for a witness° between° me and thee.

 31:45 And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.

 31:45 And Jacob° took°° a stone,° and set it up°° [for] a pillar.°

 31:46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and thee to-day.

 31:46 And Jacob° said°° unto his brethren,° Gather°° stones;° and they took°° stones,° and made°° an heap:° and they did eat°° there° upon° the heap.°

 31:47 And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.

 31:47 And Laban° called°° it Jegarsahadutha:° but Jacob° called°° it Galeed.°

 31:48 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and thee; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.

 31:48 And Laban° said,°° This° heap° [is] a witness° between° me and thee this day.° Therefore°° was the name° of it called°° Galeed;°

 31:49 And the vision of which he said-- Let God look to it between me and thee, because we are about to depart from each other,--

 31:49 And Mizpah;° for° he said,°° Yahweh° watch°° between° me and thee, when° we are absent°° one° from another.°°

 31:50 If thou shalt humble my daughters, if thou shouldest take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and thee.

 31:50 If° thou shalt afflict°°° my daughters,° or if° thou shalt take°° [other] wives° beside° my daughters,° no° man° [is] with° us; see,°° Elohim° [is] witness° betwixt° me and thee.

 31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.

 31:51 And Laban° said°° to Jacob,° Behold° this° heap,° and behold° [this] pillar,° which° I have cast°° betwixt° me and thee;

 31:52 For if I should not cross over unto thee, neither shouldest thou cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.

 31:52 This° heap° [be] witness,° and [this] pillar° [be] witness,° that° I° will not° pass over°°° this° heap° to° thee, and that° thou° shalt not° pass over°°° this° heap° and this° pillar° unto° me, for harm.°

 31:53 The God of Abraham{gr.Abraam} and the God of Nahor{gr.Nachor} judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

 31:53 The Elohim° of Abraham,° and the Elohim° of Nahor,° the Elohim° of their father,° judge°° betwixt° us. And Jacob° sware°° by the fear° of his father° Isaac.°

 31:54 And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.

 31:54 Then Jacob° offered°° sacrifice° upon the mount,° and called°° his brethren° to eat°° bread:° and they did eat°° bread,° and tarried all night°° in the mount.°

 31:55 And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.

 31:55 And early°° in the morning° Laban° rose up,°° and kissed°° his sons° and his daughters,° and blessed°° them: and Laban° departed,°°° and returned°° unto his place.°
