Hebrew Text (Torah)
יד לֹא-אָכַלְתִּי בְאֹנִי מִמֶּנּוּ, וְלֹא-בִעַרְתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ בְּטָמֵא, וְלֹא-נָתַתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ, לְמֵת; שָׁמַעְתִּי, בְּקוֹל יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי--עָשִׂיתִי, כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתָנִי.
Greek Text (Septuagint)
14 καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγον ἐν ὀδύνῃ μου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐκάρπωσα ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν εἰς ἀκάθαρτον, οὐκ ἔδωκα ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν τῷ τεθνηκότι· ὑπήκουσα τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ μου, ἐποίησα καθὰ ἐνετείλω μοι.
