Then all the trees said to the bramble, Come thou [and] reign over us.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπαν πάντα τὰ ξύλα τῇ ῥάμνῳ, δεῦρο σὺ, βασίλευσον ἐφʼ ἡμῶν.
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Judges
And the bramble said to the trees, If ye in truth anoint me to reign over you, come, stand under my shadow; and if not, let fire come out from me and devour the cedars of Libanus.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ἡ ῥάμνος πρὸς τὰ ξύλα, εἰ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ χρίετέ με ὑμεῖς τοῦ βασιλεύειν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, δεῦτε, ὑπόστητε ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ μου· καὶ εἰ μὴ, ἐξέλθοι πῦρ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ καὶ καταφάγοι τὰς κέδρους τοῦ Λιβάνου.
And now, if ye have done it in truth and integrity, and have made Abimelech king, and if ye have wrought well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and if ye have done to him according to the reward of his hand,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν εἰ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ τελειότητι ἐποιήσατε, καὶ ἐβασιλεύσατε τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ εἰ ἀγαθωσύνην ἐποιήσατε μετὰ Ἱεροβάαλ, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰ ὡς ἀνταπόδοσις χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐποιήσατε αὐτῷ,
as my father fought for you, and put his life in jeopardy, and delivered you out of the hand of Madiam;
Greek · Septuagintὡς παρετάξατο ὁ πατήρ μου ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξέῤῥιψε τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐξεναντίας, καὶ ἐῤῥύσατο ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς Μαδιὰμ,
and ye are risen up this day against the house of my father, and have slain his sons, being seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his bondwoman king over the men of Sicima, because he is your brother:
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπανέστητε ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου σήμερον, καὶ ἀπεκτείνατε τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρας ἐπὶ λίθον ἕνα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσατε τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱὸν παιδίσκης αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας Σικίμων, ὅτι ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ἐστι·
if then ye have done truly and faithfully with Jerobaal, and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice over you:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ τελειότητι ἐποιήσατε μετὰ Ἱεροβάαλ, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, εὐφρανθείητε ἐν Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ εὐφρανθείη καί γε αὐτὸς ἐφʼ ὑμῖν·
but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Sicima, and the house of Beth-maalo; and let fire come out from the men of Sicima and from the house of Beth-maalo, and devour Abimelech.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰ δὲ οὐ, ἐξέλθοι πῦρ ἀπὸ Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ καταφάγοι τοὺς ἄνδρας Σικίμων καὶ τὸν οἴκον Βηθμααλώ· καὶ ἐξέλθοι πῦρ ἀπὸ ἀνδρῶν Σικίμων, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Βηθμααλὼ, καὶ καταφάγοι τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ.
And Joatham fled, and ran away, and went as far as Bæer, and dwelt there out of the way of his brother Abimelech.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔφυγεν Ἰωάθαμ καὶ ἀπέδρα, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἕως Βαιὴρ, καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐκεῖ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀβιμέλεχ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦρξεν Ἀβιμέλεχ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ τρία ἔτη.
And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Sicima; and the men of Sicima dealt treacherously with the house of Abimelech:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἀναμέσον Ἀβιμέλεχ καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ἀνδρῶν Σικίμων· καὶ ἠθέτισαν ἄνδρες Σικίμων ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀβιμέλεχ,
to bring the injury done to the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and to lay their blood upon their brother Abimelech, who slew them, and upon the men of Sicima, because they strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.
Greek · Septuagintτοῦ ἐπαγαγεῖν τὴν ἀδικίαν τῶν ἑβδομήκοντα υἱῶν Ἱεροβάαλ, καὶ τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν τοῦ θεῖναι ἐπὶ Ἀβιμέλεχ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτῶν, ὃς ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐπὶ ἄνδρας Σικίμων, ὅτι ἐνίσχυσαν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ.
And the men of Sicima set liers in wait against him on the top of the mountains, and robbed every one who passed by them on the way; and it was reported to the king Abimelech.

And Gaal the son of Jobel said, Who is Abimelech, and who is the son of Sychem, that we should serve him? [Is he] not the son of Jerobaal, and [is] not Zebul his steward, his servant with the son of Emmor the father of Sychem? and why should we serve him?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Γαὰλ υἱὸς Ἰωβὴλ, τίς ἐστιν Ἀβιμέλεχ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν υἱὸς Συχὲμ, ὅτι δουλεύσομεν αὐτῷ; οὐχ υἱὸς Ἱεροβάαλ, καὶ Ζεβοὺλ ἐπίσκοπος αὐτοῦ, δοῦλος αὐτοῦ σὺν τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ἐμμὼρ πατρὸς Συχέμ; καὶ τί ὅτι δουλεύσομεν αὐτῷ ἡμεῖς;

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰεφθάε τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις Γαλαὰδ, οὐχὶ ὑμεῖς ἐμισήσατέ με, καὶ ἐξεβάλετέ με ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἐξαπεστείλατέ με ἀφʼ ὑμῶν; καὶ διατί ἤλθατε πρὸς μὲ νῦν ἡνίκα χρῄζετε;
And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to thee, that thou shouldest go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Galaad.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπαν οἱ προσβύτεροι Γαλαὰδ πρὸς Ἰεφθάε, διὰ τοῦτο νῦν ἐπεστρέψαμεν πρὸς σὲ, καὶ πορεύσῃ μεθʼ ἡμῶν, καὶ παρατάξῃ πρὸς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν, καὶ ἔσῃ ἡμῖν εἰς ἄρχοντα πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσι Γαλαάδ.
And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, If ye turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰεφθάε πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Γαλαὰδ, εἰ ἐπιστρέφετέ με ὑμεῖς παρατάξασθαι ἐν υἱοῖς Ἀμμὼν, καὶ παραδῷ αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ ὑμῖν ἔσομαι εἰς ἄρχοντα.
And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to thy word.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Γαλαὰδ πρὸς Ἰεφθάε, Κύριος ἔστω ἀκούων ἀναμέσον ἡμῶν, εἰ μὴ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου οὕτω ποιήσομεν.
And Jephthae went with the elders of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰεφθάε μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Γαλαὰδ, καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς εἰς κεφαλὴν καὶ εἰς ἀρχηγόν· καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἰεφθαέ πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν Μασσηφά.
And Jephthae sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰεφθάε ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, λέγων, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοὶ, ὅτι ἦλθες πρὸς μὲ τοῦ παρατάξασθαι ἐν τῇ γῇ μου;
And the king of the children of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now then return them peaceably and I will depart.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν πρὸς τοὺς ἀγγέλους Ἰεφθάε, ὅτι ἔλαβεν Ἰσραὴλ τὴν γῆν μου ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὸν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἀπὸ Ἀρνὼν ἕως Ἰαβὸκ καὶ ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ νῦν ἐπίστρεψον αὐτὰς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, καὶ πορεύσομαι.
And Jephthae again sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσέθηκεν ἔτι Ἰεφθάε, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
and said to him, Thus says Jephthae, Israel took not the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, οὕτω λέγει Ἰεφθάε, οὐκ ἔλαβεν Ἰσραὴλ τὴν γῆν Μωὰβ, καὶ τὴν γῆν υἱῶν Ἀμμών,
for in their going up out of Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came to Cades.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐπορεύθη Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἕως θαλάσσης Σὶφ, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Κάδης.
And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please thee, by thy land: and the king of Edom complied not: and [Israel] also sent to the king of Moab, and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰσραὴλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα Ἐδὼμ, λέγων, παρελεύσομαι δὴ ἐν τῇ γῇ σου· καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσε βασιλεὺς Ἐδώμ· καί γε πρὸς βασιλέα Μωὰβ ἀπέστειλε, καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησε· καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Κάδης,
And [they] journeyed in the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they came by the east of the land of Moab, and encamped in the country beyond Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐκύκλωσε τὴν γῆν Ἐδὼμ καὶ τὴν γῆν Μωάβ· καὶ ἦλθεν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου τῇ γῇ Μωὰβ, καὶ παρενέβαλεν ἐν πέραν Ἀρνὼν, καὶ οὐκ εἰσῆλθεν ἐν ὁρίοις Μωὰβ, ὅτι Ἀρνὼν ὅριον Μωάβ.
And Israel sent messengers to Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esebon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, by thy land to our place.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰσραὴλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Σηὼν βασιλέα τοῦ Ἀμοῤῥαίου βασιλέα Ἐσεβῶν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰσραήλ, παρέλθωμεν δὴ ἐν τῇ γῇ σου ἕως τοῦ τόπου ἡμῶν.
And Seon did not trust Israel to pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at Jasa; and he set the battle in array against Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἐνεπίστευσε Σηὼν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ παρελθεῖν ἐν τῷ ὁρίῳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνῆξε Σηὼν πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρενέβαλον εἰς Ἰασὰ, καὶ παρετάξατο πρὸς Ἰσραήλ.
And the Lord God of Israel delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who dwelt in that land,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ παρέδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ τὸν Σηὼν καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν χειρὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν Ἰσραὴλ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἀμοῤῥαίου τοῦ κατοικοῦντος τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην
from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from the wilderness to Jordan.
Greek · Septuagintἀπὸ Ἀρνὼν καὶ ἕως τοῦ Ἰαβὸκ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐρήμου ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
And now the Lord God of Israel has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shalt thou inherit his [land]?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐξῇρε τὸν Ἀμοῤῥαῖον ἀπὸ προσώπου λαοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ σὺ κληρονομήσεις αὐτόν;
Wilt thou not inherit those possessions which Chamos thy god shall cause thee to inherit; and shall not we inherit the [land of] all those whom the Lord our God has removed from before you?
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐχὶ ἃ ἐὰν κληρονομήσει σε Χαμὼς ὁ θεὸς σοῦ, αὐτὰ κληρονομήσεις, καὶ τοὺς πάντας οὓς ἐξῇρε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν, αὐτοὺς κληρονομήσομεν;
And now art thou any better than Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? Did he indeed fight with Israel, or indeed make war with him,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν μὴ ἐν ἀγαθῷ ἀγαθώτερος σὺ ὑπὲρ Βαλὰκ υἱὸν Σεπφὼρ βασιλέως Μωάβ; μὴ μαχόμενος ἐμαχέσατο μετὰ Ἰσραὴλ, ἢ πολεμῶν ἐπολέμησεν αὐτὸν,
when [Israel] dwelt in Esebon and in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and wherefore didst thou not recover them in that time?
Greek · Septuagintἐν τῷ οἰκῆσαι ἐν Ἐσεβὼν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐν γῇ Ἀροὴρ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς παρὰ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, τριακόσια ἔτη; καὶ διατί οὐκ ἐῤῥύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ;
And now I have not sinned against thee, but thou wrongest me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the Judge judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν ἐγώ εἰμι οὐχ ἥμαρτόν σοι, καὶ σὺ ποιεῖς μετʼ ἐμοῦ πονηρίαν τοῦ παρατάξασθαι ἐν ἐμοί· κρίναι Κύριος ὁ κρίνων σήμερον ἀναμέσον υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀναμέσον υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἤκουσε βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν τῶν λόγων Ἰεφθάε, ὧν ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτόν.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ Ἰεφθάε πνεῦμα Κυρίου, καὶ παρῆλθε τὸν Γαλαὰδ, καὶ τὸν Μανασσῆ, καὶ παρῆλθε τὴν σκοπιὰν Γαλαὰδ εἰς τὸ πέραν υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ηὔξατο Ἰεφθάε εὐχὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐὰν διδοὺς δῷς μοι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἁμμὼν ἐν τῆ χειρί μου,
then it shall come to pass that whosoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole-burnt-offering.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἔσται ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος ὃς ἂν ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου μου εἰς συνάντησίν μου ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν με ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ ἔσται τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἀνοίσω αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωμα.
And Jephthae advanced to meet the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hand.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ παρῆλθεν Ἰεφθάε πρὸς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν παρατάξασθαι πρὸς αὐτούς· καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
And he smote them from Aroer till [one] comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim, with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened before the children of Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ Ἀροὴρ ἕως ἐλθεῖν ἄχρις Ἀρνὼν ἐν ἀριθμῷ εἴκοσι πόλεις, καὶ ἕως Ἐβελχαρμὶμ, πληγὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα· καὶ συνεστάλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
And Jephthae came to Massepha to his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or daughter.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦλθεν Ἰεφθάε εἰς Μασσηφὰ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐξεπορεύετο εἰς ὑπάντησιν ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ χοροῖς· καὶ αὕτη ἦν μονογενὴς αὐτῷ· οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ ἕτερος υἱὸς ἢ θυγάτηρ.
And it came to pass when he saw her, that he rent his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, thou hast indeed troubled me, and thou wast the cause of my trouble; and I have opened my mouth against thee to the Lord, and I shall not be able to return from it.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὴν αὐτός, διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἆ ἆ, θυγάτηρ μου, ταραχῇ ἐτάραξάς με, καὶ σὺ ἦς ἐν τῷ ταράχῳ μου, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἤνοιξα κατὰ σοῦ τὸ στόμα μου πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐ δυνήσομαι ἀποστρέψαι.
And she said to him, Father, hast thou opened thy mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as [the word] went out of thy mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for thee on thine enemies of the children of Ammon.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, πάτερ, ἤνοιξας τὸ στόμα σου πρὸς Κύριον; ποίησόν μοι ὃν τρόπον ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ στόματός σου, ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί σοι Κύριον ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
And she said to her father, Let my father now do this thing: let me alone for two months, and I will go up and down on the mountains, and I will bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἥδε εἶπε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς, ποιησάτω δὴ ὁ πατήρ μου τὸν λόγον τοῦτον· ἔασόν με δύο μῆνας, καὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ καταβήσομαι ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ κλαύσομαι ἐπὶ τὰ παρθένιά μου ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ αἱ συνεταιρίδες μου.
And he said, Go: and he sent her away for two months; and she went, and her companions, and she bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε, πορεύου· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὴν δύο μῆνας· καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ συνεταιρίδες αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἐπὶ τὰ παρθένια αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη.
