Greek text · Archambault 1:268–270

Ἐξηγούμενος οὖν διὰ Μωσέως ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ περὶ Ἰακώβ, τοῦ υἱωνοῦ τοῦ Ἀβραάμ, οὕτως φησί· Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα, καὶ εἶδον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ· καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ τράγοι καὶ οἱ κριοί, ἀναβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰς αἶγας, διάλευκοι καὶ ποικίλοι καὶ σποδοειδεῖς ῥαντοί. Καὶ εἶπέ μοι ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ καθʼ ὕπνους· Ἰακώβ, Ἰακώβ.

English · Claude translation

“The word of God, then, relating through Moses the things about Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, speaks thus: ‘And it came to pass, when the flocks conceived and were with young, that I saw them with my eyes in a dream; and behold, the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the goats were white-streaked and speckled and spotted with gray. And the angel of God said to me in a dream: Jacob, Jacob.
