Et præcepit priori, dicens : Si obvium habueris fratrem meum Esau, et interrogaverit te : Cujus es ? aut, Quo vadis ? aut, Cujus sunt ista quæ sequeris ?

καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ λέγων Ἐάν σοι συναντήσῃ Ἠσαὺ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἐρωτᾷ σε λέγων Τίνος εἶ; καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ; καὶ τίνος ταῦτα τὰ προπορευόμενά σου;
