Tobit 4:7e
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.
Greek · Brenton
Πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ, παιδίον, ἀπὸ πάσης πορνείας, καὶ γυναῖκα πρῶτον λάβε ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῶν πατέρων σου· μὴ λάβῃς γυναῖκα ἀλλοτρίαν, ἣ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς τοῦ πατέρος σου, διότι υἱοὶ προφητῶν ἐσμέν, Νῶε, Ἁβραάμ, Ἰσαάκ, Ἰακώβ. Οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, μνήσθητι, παιδίον, ὅτι αὐτοὶ πάντες ἔλαβον γυναῖκας ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ εὐλογήθησαν ἐν τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν κληρονομήσει γῆν.
