Dialogue with Trypho 58.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:270

Ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπον· Τί ἐστι, κύριε; Καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἴδε τοὺς τράγους καὶ τοὺς κριοὺς ἀναβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰς αἶγας, διαλεύκους καὶ ποικίλους καὶ σποδοειδεῖς ῥαντούς· ἑώρακα γὰρ ὅσα σοι Λάβαν ποιεῖ. Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς ὁ ὀφθείς σοι ἐν τῷ τόπῳ θεοῦ, οὗ ἤλειψάς μοι ἐκεῖ στήλην καὶ ηὔξω ἐκεῖ εὐχήν. Νῦν οὖν ἀνάστηθι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς ταύτης καὶ ἄπελθε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς γενέσεώς σου, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ.

English · Claude translation

“‘And I said: What is it, Lord? And he said: Lift up your eyes and see the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the goats, white-streaked and speckled and spotted with gray; for I have seen all that Laban does to you. I am the God who appeared to you in the place of God, where you anointed a pillar for me and vowed a vow to me there. Now therefore arise and go out from this land and go to the land of your birth, and I will be with you.’
