Koine and Biblical and Medieval Greek • Re: What is a βᾶρις?

Book of Jubilees 37, 17
Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἀποκλείσας τὰς πύλας τῆς βάρεως
παρεκάλει τὸν Ἡσαῦ μνησθῆναι τῶν γονικῶν ἐντολῶν

Jacob shut the gates of the Baris
He had invited Esau to remember the ancestral laws?

I am unsure what the latter part means, γονικός means 'of the seed, ancestral' and can't find this word in other books?


Psa 103:18 μεμνημένοις τῶν ἐντολῶν αὐτοῦ?
Xenophon, Anabasis 7.6.24
Aristarchus the Lacedaemonian forbid your entering and shut the gates against you?
Ἀρίσταρχος δʼ ὑμᾶς ὁ Λακεδαιμόνιος οὐκ εἴα εἰσιέναι ἀποκλείσας τὰς πύλας
Xenophon, Anabasis 7.5.11
Thereupon Seuthes fell to abusing Heracleides because he had not invited Xenophon in also. The upshot of this was, that they invited Xenophon by himself.

1ἐντεῦθεν ὁ Σεύθης ἐλοιδόρει τὸν Ἡρακλείδην ὅτι οὐ παρεκάλει καὶ Ξενοφῶντα. ἐκ δὲ τούτου παρακαλοῦσιν αὐτὸν μόνον
