31 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

31 1Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."JACOB flees from Laban. Gn.31.1-21וַיִּשְׁמַע אֶת־דִּבְרֵי בְנֵי־לָבָן לֵאמֹר לָקַח יַעֲקֹב אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לְאָבִינוּ וּמֵאֲשֶׁר לְאָבִינוּ עָשָׂה אֵת כָּל־הַכָּבֹד הַזֶּה׃
2And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favour as before. וַיַּרְא יַעֲקֹב אֶת־פְּנֵי לָבָן וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ עִמֹּו כִּתְמֹול שִׁלְשֹׁום׃
3Then Yahweh said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you." וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־יַעֲקֹב שׁוּב אֶל־אֶרֶץ אֲבֹותֶיךָ וּלְמֹולַדְתֶּךָ וְאֶהְיֶה עִמָּךְ׃
4So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was, וַיִּשְׁלַח יַעֲקֹב וַיִּקְרָא לְרָחֵל וּלְלֵאָה הַשָּׂדֶה אֶל־צֹאנֹו׃
5and said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favour as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me. וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶן רֹאֶה אָנֹכִי אֶת־פְּנֵי אֲבִיכֶן כִּי־אֵינֶנּוּ אֵלַי כִּתְמֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם וֵאלֹהֵי אָבִי הָיָה עִמָּדִי׃
6You know that I have served your father with all my strength; וְאַתֵּנָה יְדַעְתֶּן כִּי בְּכָל־כֹּחִי עָבַדְתִּי אֶת־אֲבִיכֶן׃
7yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me. וַאֲבִיכֶן הֵתֶל בִּי וְהֶחֱלִפ אֶת־מַשְׂכֻּרְתִּי עֲשֶׂרֶת מֹנִים וְלֹא־נְתָנֹו אֱלֹהִים לְהָרַע עִמָּדִי׃
8If he said, 'The spotted shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore spotted; and if he said, 'The striped shall be your wages,' then all the flock bore striped. אִם־כֹּה יֹאמַר נְקֻדִּים יִהְיֶה שְׂכָרֶךָ וְיָלְדוּ כָל־הַצֹּאן נְקֻדִּים וְאִם־כֹּה יֹאמַר עֲקֻדִּים יִהְיֶה שְׂכָרֶךָ וְיָלְדוּ כָל־הַצֹּאן עֲקֻדִּים׃
9Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. וַיַּצֵּל אֱלֹהִים אֶת־מִקְנֵה אֲבִיכֶם וַיִּתֶּן־לִי׃
10In the mating season of the flock I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream that the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled. וַיְהִי בְּעֵת יַחֵם הַצֹּאן וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָאֵרֶא בַּחֲלֹום וְהִנֵּה הָעַתֻּדִים הָעֹלִים עַל־הַצֹּאן עֲקֻדִּים נְקֻדִּים וּבְרֻדִּים׃
11Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am! וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים בַּחֲלֹום יַעֲקֹב וָאֹמַר הִנֵּנִי׃
12And he said, 'Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that leap upon the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. וַיֹּאמֶר שָׂא־נָא עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה כָּל־הָעַתֻּדִים הָעֹלִים עַל־הַצֹּאן עֲקֻדִּים נְקֻדִּים וּבְרֻדִּים כִּי רָאִיתִי אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לָבָן עֹשֶׂה לָּךְ׃
13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go forth from this land, and return to the land of your birth.' " אָנֹכִי הָאֵל בֵּית־אֵל אֲשֶׁר מָשַׁחְתָּ שָּׁם מַצֵּבָה אֲשֶׁר נָדַרְתָּ לִּי שָׁם נֶדֶר עַתָּה קוּם צֵא מִן־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת וְשׁוּב אֶל־אֶרֶץ מֹולַדְתֶּךָ׃
14Then Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house? וַתַּעַן רָחֵל וְלֵאָה וַתֹּאמַרְנָה לֹו הַעֹוד לָנוּ חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה בְּבֵית אָבִינוּ׃
15Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has been using up the money given for us. הֲלֹוא נָכְרִיֹּות נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ לֹו כִּי מְכָרָנוּ וַיֹּאכַל גַּם־אָכֹול אֶת־כַּסְפֵּנוּ׃
16All the property which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children; now then, whatever God has said to you, do." כִּי כָל־הָעֹשֶׁר אֲשֶׁר הִצִּיל אֱלֹהִים מֵאָבִינוּ לָנוּ הוּא וּלְבָנֵינוּ וְעַתָּה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֱלֹהִים אֵלֶיךָ עֲשֵׂה׃
17So Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives on camels; וַיָּקָם יַעֲקֹב וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־בָּנָיו וְאֶת־נָשָׁיו עַל־הַגְּמַלִּים׃
18and he drove away all his cattle, all his livestock which he had gained, the cattle in his possession which he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac. וַיִּנְהַג אֶת־כָּל־מִקְנֵהוּ וְאֶת־כָּל־רְכֻשֹׁו אֲשֶׁר רָכָשׁ מִקְנֵה קִנְיָנֹו אֲשֶׁר רָכַשׁ בְּפַדַּן אֲרָם לָבֹוא אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו אַרְצָה כְּנָעַן׃
19Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father's household gods. וְלָבָן הָלַךְ לִגְזֹז אֶת־צֹאנֹו וַתִּגְנֹב רָחֵל אֶת־הַתְּרָפִים אֲשֶׁר לְאָבִיהָ׃
20And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee. וַיִּגְנֹב יַעֲקֹב אֶת־לֵב לָבָן הָאֲרַמִּי עַל־בְּלִי הִגִּיד לֹו כִּי בֹרֵחַ הוּא׃
21He fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphrates, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead. וַיִּבְרַח הוּא וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו וַיָּקָם וַיַּעֲבֹר אֶת־הַנָּהָר וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־פָּנָיו הַר הַגִּלְעָד׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
