that there came men from Sychem, and from Salem, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and beating their breasts, and they had manna and frankincense in their hands, to bring them into the house of the Lord.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἄνδρες ἀπὸ Συχὲμ, καὶ ἀπὸ Σαλὴμ, καὶ ἀπὸ Σαμαρίας, ὀγδοήκοντα ἄνδρες, ἐξυρημένοι πώγωνας, καὶ διεῤῥηγμένοι τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ κοπτόμενοι, καὶ μάννα, καὶ λίβανος ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, τοῦ εἰσενεγκεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
