Genesis 48:7

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 ὁδῷ τοῦ ἱπποδρόμου· αὕτη ἐστὶν Βηθλεέμ.

Now when I was coming out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rhachel, your mother, died in the land of Chanaan as I was approaching the hippodrome Chabratha of the land to go to Ephratha, and I buried her on the road of the hippodrome; this is Bethlehem.”

ואני בבאי מפדן מתה עלי רחל בארץ כנען בדרך בעוד כברת־ארץ לבא אפרתה ואקברה שׁם בדרך אפרת הוא בית לחם׃

 

*   ἡ μήτηρ σου (אמך) not in the Masoretic Text but in the Samaritan version
*   Βηθλεέμ | Βαιθλεεμ | Βεθλέεμ
*   road OR way
