| 28:1 | XXVIIIτὸν Ἰακὼβ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων Οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Χανάαν· |
| 28:2 | ἀναστὰς ἀπόδραθι εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας εἰς τὸν οἶκον Βαθουὴλ τοῦ πατρὸς μητρός σου, καὶ λάβε σεαυτῷ ἐκεῖθεν γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Λαβὰν λαβὰν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τῆς μητρός σου. |
| 28:3 | ὁ δὲ θεός μου εὐλογήσαι σε καὶ αὐξήσαι σε καὶ πληθύναι σε, καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν· |
| 28:4 | καὶ δῴτ σοι τὴν εὐλογίαν Ἀβραὰμ τοῦ πατρός σου, σοὶ καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σέ, κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν τῆς παροικήσεως σου, ἣν δέδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τῷ Ἀβραάμ. |
| 28:5 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἰακώβ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν πρὸς Λαβὰν τὸν υἱὸν Βαθουὴλ τοῦ Σύρου, ἀδελφὸν δὲ Ῥεβέκκας τῆς μητρὸς μητρὸς καὶ Ἠσαύ. |
| 28:6 | ἴδεν δὲ Ἠσαὺ ὅτι εὐλόγησεν Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἀπῴχετο εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν Συρίας λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα, ἐν τῶ αὐτόν, καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων Οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων Χανάαν· |
| 28:7 | καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰακὼβ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῆς μητρὸς ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν. |
| 28:8 | καὶ ἴδεν Ἠσαὺ ὅτι πονηραί εἰσιν αἱ θυγατέρες Χανάαν ἐναντίον Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, |
| 28:9 | καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἠσαὺ πρὸς Ἰσμαήλ, καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν Μαελὲθ θυγατέρα Ἰσμαὴλ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ, ἀδελφὴν Ναβαιώθ, πρὸς ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ γυναῖκα. |
| 28:10 | Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς |
| 28:11 | καὶ ἀπήντησεν τόπῳ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ· ἔδυ γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τῶν λίθων τοῦ τόπου καὶ ἐπέθηκεν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἐκείνῳ. |
| 28:12 | καὶ ἐνυπνιάσθη· καὶ ἰδοὺ κλῖμαξ ἐστηριγμένη ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἧς ἡ κεφαλὴ ἀφικνεῖτο εἰς οὐρανόν, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ ἀνέβαινον καὶ κατέβαινον ἐπ’ αὐτῆς. |
| 28:13 | ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐπεστήρικτο ἐπ’ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν Ἐγὼ ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ ὁ θεὸς Ἰσαάκ· μὴ φοβοῦ· ἡ γῆ ἐφ’ ἧς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπ’ αὐτῆς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου. |
| 28:14 | καὶ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ πλατυνθήσεται ἐπὶ θάλασσαν καὶ ἐπὶ λίβα καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ ἐπ’ ἀνατολάς·’ καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς ἰῆς καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου. |
| 28:15 | καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μετὰ σοῦ, διαφυλάσσων σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ πόσῃ οὗ ἐὰν πορευθῇς· καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, ὅτι οὐ μή σε ἕως τοῦ ποιῆσαί με πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησά σοι. |
| 28:16 | καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι Ἔστιν κύριος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν. |
| 28:17 | καὶ ἐφοβήθη, καὶ εἶπεν Ὡς φοβερὸς ὁ τόπος οὗτος· οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο ἁλλ’ ἢ οἶκος θεοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. |
| 28:18 | καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰακὼβ τὸ πρωί, καὶ ἔλαβεν λίθον ὃν ἔθηκεν ἐκεῖ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν στήλην, καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἔλαιον ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον αὐτῆς. |
| 28:19 | καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου οἶκος θεοῦ· καὶ Οὐλαμμαὺς ἦν ὄνομα τῇ πόλει τὸ πρότερον. |
| 28:20 | καὶ ηὔξατο Ἰακὼβ εὐχὴν λέγων Ἐὰν ἦ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς μετ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ διαφυλάξῃ με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι, καὶ δῷ μοι ἄρτον φαγεῖν καὶ ἱμάτιον περιβαλέσθαι, |
| 28:21 | καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ με μετὰ σωτηρίας εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἔσται μοι κύριος εἰς θεόν· |
| 28:22 | καὶ ὁ λίθος οὗτος, ὃν ἔστησα στήλην, ἔσται μοι οἶκος θεοῦ· καὶ πάντων ὧν ἐάν μοι δῷς, δεκάτην ἀποδεκατώσω αὐτά σοι. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
