Dialogue with Trypho 58.13 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:274–276

Καὶ ἐξηγέρθη Ἰακὼβ ἐκ τοῦ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι Ἔστι κύριος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν. Καὶ ἐφοβήθη, καὶ εἶπεν· Ὡς φοβερὸς ὁ τόπος οὗτος. Οὐκ ἔστι τοῦτο ἄλλʼ ἢ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰακὼβ τῷ πρωί, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν λίθον ὃν ὑπέθηκεν ἐκεῖ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν στήλην καὶ ἐπέχεε τὸ ἔλαιον ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου Οἶκος θεοῦ· καὶ Οὐλαμμάους ἦν τὸ ὄνομα τῇ πόλει τὸ πρότερον.

English · Claude translation

“‘And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said: The Lord is in this place, and I did not know it. And he was afraid and said: How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And Jacob rose in the morning and took the stone he had put there under his head, and set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. And Jacob called the name of the place House of God; and Ulammaus was the name of the city before.’”
