My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

Ο πατηρ μου με ωρκισε, λεγων, Ιδου, εγω αποθνησκω· εις το μνημειον μου, το οποιον εσκαψα εις εμαυτον εν γη Χανααν, εκει θελεις με θαψει· τωρα λοιπον ας αναβω, παρακαλω, και ας θαψω τον πατερα μου· και θελω επιστρεψει.
