Errette mich von der Hand meines Bruders, von der Hand Esaus; denn ich fürchte mich vor ihm, daß er nicht komme und schlage mich, die Mütter samt den Kindern.
Y tú has dicho: Yo te haré bien, y pondré tu simiente como la arena del mar, que no se puede contar por la multitud.
Et toi, tu as dit: Je te ferai du bien, et je rendrai ta postérité comme le sable de la mer, si abondant qu'on ne saurait le compter.
E pur tu hai detto: Per certo io ti farò del bene, e farò che la tua progenie sarà come la rena del mare, la qual non si può annoverare per la sua moltitudine
E tu o disseste: Certamente te farei bem, e farei a tua descendência como a areia do mar, que pela multidão não se pode contar.
你曾說:『我必定厚待你,使你的後裔如同海邊的沙,多得不可勝數。』」
