For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini præcipientis : Non comedes panem, neque bibes aquam, nec reverteris per viam qua venisti.

Vulgate

ὅτι οὕτως ἐνετείλατό μοι ἐν λόγῳ Κύριος λέγων Μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.

LXX

for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.
