| 20:1 | Ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθῃς εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου, καὶ ἴδης ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην καὶ λαὸν πλείονά σου, οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπ’ αὐτῶν· ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεός σου μετὰ σοῦ, ὁ ἀναβιβάσας σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου. |
| 20:2 | καὶ ἔσται ὅταν ἐγγίσῃς τῷ πολέμῳ, καὶ προσεγγίσας ὁ ἱερεὺς λαλήσει τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐρεῖ πρὸς αὐτούς Ἄκουε, Ἰσραήλ· |
| 20:3 | ὑμεῖς πορεύεσεσθε σήμερον εἰς τὸν πόλεμον ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, μὴ ἐκλυέσθω ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν μὴ φοβεῖσθε μηδὲ θραύεσθε μηδὲ ἐκκλίνετε ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, |
| 20:4 | ὅτι Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ προπορευόμενος μεθ’ ὑμῶν, σαι ὑμῖν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, διασῶσαι ὑμᾶς. |
| 20:5 | καὶ λαλήσουσιν οἱ γραμματεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγοντες τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ οἰκοδομήσας οἰκίαν κοινὴν καὶ οὐκ ἐνεκαίνισεν αὐτήν ; πορευέσθω καὶ ἀποστραφήτω εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἕτερος ένκαινιεῖ αὐτήν. |
| 20:6 | καὶ τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὅστις ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ οὐκ εὐφράνθη ἐξ αὐτοῦ; πορευέσθω καὶ ἀποστραφήτω εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, μὴ άποθάνῃ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἕτερος εὐφρανθήσεται ἐξ αὐτοῦ. |
| 20:7 | καὶ τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὅστις μεμνήστευται γυναῖκα καὶ οὐκ ἔλαβεν αὐτήν ; πορευέσθω καὶ ἀποστραφήτω εἰς τὴν οἰκίον αὐτοῦ, μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἕτερος λήμψεται αὐτήν. |
| 20:8 | καὶ προσθήσουσιν οἱ γραμματεῖς λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν λαὸν καὶ ἐροῦσιν τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος καὶ δειλὸς τῆ πορευέσθω πορευέσθω καὶ ἀποστραφήτω εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ δειλιάνῃ τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ ἡ αὐτοῦ. |
| 20:9 | καὶ ἔσται ὅταν παύσωνται οἱ γραμματεῖς λαλοῦντες πρὸς τὸν λαόν, καὶ καταστὴσουσιν ἄρχοντας τῆς στρατιᾶς προηγουμένους τοῦ λαοῦ. |
| 20:10 | Ἐὰν δὲ προσέλθῃς πρὸς πόλιν ἐκπολεμῆσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκκάλεσαι αὐτοὺς μετ’ εἰρήνης. |
| 20:11 | ἐὰν μὲν εἰρηνικὰ ἀποκριθῶσίν σοι καὶ ἀνοίξωσίν σοι, ἕαται πᾶς ὁ λαός, οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν αὐτῇ, ἔσονταί σοι φορολόγητοι καὶ ὑπήκοοί σου. |
| 20:12 | ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ὑπακούσωσίν σοι καὶ ποιῶσιν πρὸς σὲ πόλεμον, περικαθιεῖς αὐτήν, |
| 20:13 | ἕως ἂν παραδῷ σοι αὐτὴν κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ πατάξεις πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν αὐτῆς ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρας, |
| 20:14 | πλὴν τῶν γυναικῶν καὶ τῆς ἀποσκευῆς· καὶ ὅσα ἂν ὑπάρχῃ ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀπαρτίαν προνομεύσεις σεαυτῷ, καὶ φάγῃ πᾶσαν τὴν προνομὴν τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου ὃν κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι. |
| 20:15 | οὕτως ποιήσεις πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς μακρὰν οὔσας σου σφόδρα· οὐχὶ ἐκ τῶν πόλεων τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων |
| 20:16 | ὧν κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι κληρονομεῖν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, οὐ ζωγρήσετε πᾶν ἐνπνέον, |
| 20:17 | ἀλλ᾿ ἣ ἀναθέματι ἀναθεματιεῖτε αὐτούς, τὸν Χετταῖον καὶ Ἀμορραῖον καὶ Χαναναῖον καὶ Φερεζαῖον καὶ Εὑαῖον καὶ Ἰεβουσαῖον, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετεὶλατὸ σοι κύριος ὁ θεός σου· |
| 20:18 | ἵνα μὴ διδάξωσιν ὑμᾶς ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ὅσα ἐποίησαν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἁμαρτήσεσθε ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν. |
| 20:19 | Ἐὰν δὲ περικαθίσῃς περὶ πόλιν μίαν ἡμέρας πλείους ἐκπολεμῆσαι αὐτὴν εἰς κατάλημψιν αὐτῆς, οὐχὶ ἐξολεθρεύσεις τὰ δένδρα αὐτῆς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ’ αὐτὰ σίδηρον. ἀλλ’ ἢ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ, αὐτὸ δὲ οὐκ ἐκκόψεις. μὴ ἄνθρωπος τὸ ξύλον τὸ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἰσελθεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ἐς τὸν χάρακα,. |
| 20:20 | ἀλλὰ ξύλον ὃ ἐπίστασαι ὅτι οὐ καρπόβρωτόν ἐστιν, τοῦτο ὀλεθρεύσεις καὶ ἐκκόψεις καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις χαράκωσιν ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ἥτις ποιεῖ πρὸς σὲ τὸν πόλεμον, ἕως ἂν παραδοθῇ. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
