Genesis 48:7

Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

ἐγὼ δὲ ἡνίκα ἠρχόμην ἐκ Μεσοποταμίας τῆς Συρίας, ἀπέθανεν Ῥαχὴλ ἡ μήτηρ σου ἐν γῇ Χανάαν, ἐγγίζοντός μου κατὰ τὸν ἱππόδρομον χαβραθὰ τῆς γῆς τοῦ ἐλθεῖν Ἐφράθα· καὶ κατώρυξα αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ τοῦ ἱπποδρόμου· αὕτη ἐστὶν Βεθλέεμ.
Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan (note: That is, northwest Mesopotamia), to my sorrow Rachel died along the way in the land of Canaan, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).
