| 7:16 | καὶ πᾶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον ὅ τι ἐὰν εὕρῃς ἐν πάσῃ χώρᾳ Βαβυλῶνος μετὰ ἑκουσιασμοῦ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἱερέων τῶν ἑκουσια ζομένων εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ τὸν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· |

| 7:18 | καὶ ἔτι ἐπὶ σέ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου ἠγαθύνθη ἐν καταλοίπῳ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου ποιῆσαι; ὡς ἀρεστὸν τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν ποιήσατε. |
| 7:19 | καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ διδόμενά σοι εἰς λειτουργίαν οἴκου θεοῦ παράδος ἐνώπιον θεοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ. |
| 7:20 | καὶ κατάλοιπον χρείας οἴκου θεοῦ ὃ ἂν φανῇ σοι δοῦναι δώσεις ἀπὸ οἴκων γάζης βασιλέως. |
| 7:21 | καὶ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, ἔγωγ᾿ Ἀρσαρθαθὰ βασιλεὺς ἔθηκα γνώμην πάσαις ταῖς γάζαις ταῖς ἐν πέρα τοῦ ποταμοῦ, ὅτι πᾶν ὃ ἂν αἰτήσῃ ὑμᾶς Ἔσρας ὁ ἱερεὺς γραμματεὺς τοῦ νόμου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἑτοίμαως γινέσθω, |
| 7:22 | ἕως ἀργυρίου ταλάντων καὶ ἕως πυροῦ κόρων ἑκατόν, καὶ ἕως οἴνου ἀποθηκῶν ἑκατόν, καὶ ἄλας οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν γραφή. |
| 7:23 | πᾶν ὅ ἐστιν ἐν γνώμῃ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ γινέσθω. προσέχετε ἐπιχειρῆσαι μήτι εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, μή ποτε γένηται ὀργὴ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 7:24 | καὶ ὑμῖν ἐγνώρισται ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς Λευείταις, ἄδουσιν, πυλωροῖς, Ναθεινεὶμ καὶ λειτουργοῖς οἴκου θεοῦ τούτου, φόρος μὴ ἔστω σοι· οὐκ ἐξουσιάσεις καταδουλοῦσθαι αὐτούς. |
| 7:25 | καὶ σύ, Ἔσρα, ᾧ ἡ σοφία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν χειρί σου, κατάστησον γραμματεῖς καὶ κριτάς, ἴνα ὦσιν κρίνοντες παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ ἐν πέρα τοῦ ποταμοῦ πᾶσιν τοῖς εἰδόσιν νόμον τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ τῷ μὴ εἰδότι γνωριεῖτε. |
| 7:26 | καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἂν μὴ ἦ ποιῶν νόμον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ νόμον τοῦ βασιλέως ἑτοίμως, τὸ κρίμα ἔσται γινόμενον ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν εἰς θάνατον ἐὰν εἰς παιδείαν ἐὰν εἰς ζημίαν βίου ἐὰν εἰς παράδοσιν. |
| 7:27 | εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ὃς ἔδωκεν οὕτως ἐν καρδίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως, τοῦ δοξάσαντος οἶκον τὸν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, |
| 7:28 | καὶ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἔκλινεν ἔλεος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν συμβούλων αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντων τῶν ἀρχόντων τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν ἐπηρμένων. καὶ ἐγὼ ἐκραταιώθην ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡ ἀγαθὴ ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καὶ συνῆξα ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ ἄρχοντας ἀναβῆναι μετʼ ἐμοῦ. |

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.
