Gen 31:42 [Samaritan Pentateuch]
לו לא אלהי אבי אלהי אברהם ופחד יצחק היה לי כי עתה ריקם שלחתני את עניי ואת יגע כפי ראה אלהים ויוכיח אמש
Gen 31:42 [Masoretic Text]
לוּלֵ֡י אֱלֹהֵ֣י אָבִי֩ אֱלֹהֵ֨י אַבְרָהָ֜ם וּפַ֤חַד יִצְחָק֙ הָ֣יָה לִ֔י כִּ֥י עַתָּ֖ה רֵיקָ֣ם שִׁלַּחְתָּ֑נִי אֶת־עָנְיִ֞י וְאֶת־יְגִ֧יעַ כַּפַּ֛י רָאָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיֹּ֥וכַח אָֽמֶשׁ׃
If not for the God of my father, the God of Avraham, and the Fear of Yitsḥaq being with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and He judged last night.”
