2:1Ἦν δέ τις ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Λευεὶ ὃς ἔλαβεν τῶν θυγατέρων
2:2καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν καὶ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν· ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸ ἐσκέπασαν αὐτὸ μῆνας τρεῖς.
2:3ἐπεὶ δὲ οὐκ ἠδύναντο αὐτὸ ἔτι αὐτῷ η μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἱν κα κατέχρισεν ἀυτὴν ἀσφαλτοπίσσῃ καὶ ἐνέβαλεν τὸ παιδίον εἰς αὐτήν, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸ ἕλος παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν.
2:4καὶ κατεσκόπευεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ μακρόθεν μαθεῖν τί τὸ ἀποβησόμενον αὐτῷ.
2:5κατέβη δὲ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραὼ λούσασθαι ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμόν, καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς παρεπορεύοντο παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν• καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὴν θῖβιν ἐν τῷ ἕλει, ἀποστείλασα τὴν ἅβραν ἀνείλατο αὐτήν.
2:6ἀνοίξασα δὲ ὁρᾷ παιδίον κλαῖον ἐν τῇ θίβει· καὶ ἐφείσατο αὐτοῦ ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραώ, καὶ ἔφη Ἀπὸ τῶν παιδίων τῶν Ἐβραίων τοῦτο.
2:7καὶ εἶπεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτοῦ τῇ θυγατρὶ Φαραώ Θέλεις καλέσω σοι γυναῖκα τροφεύουσαν ἐκ τῶν Ἐβραίων, καὶ θηλάσει σοι τὸ παιδίον ;
2:8ἡ δὲ εἶπεν ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραώ πορεύου. ἐλθοῦσα δ‘ὲ ἡ νεᾶνις ἐκάλεσεν τὴν μητέρα τοῦ παιδίου.
2:9εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν ἡ θυγάτηρ Φαραώ Διατήρησόν μοι τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο καὶ θήλασόν μοι ἐγὼ δὲ δώσω σοι τὸν μισθόν. ἔλαβεν δὲ ἡ γυνὴ τὸ παιδίον καὶ ἐθήλαζεν αὐτό·
2:10ἁδρυνθέντος δὲ τοῦ παιδίου, εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραώ, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῇ εἰς υἱόν. ἐπωνόμασεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Μωυσῆν λέγουσα Ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος αὐτὸν ἀνειλόμην.
2:11Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πολλαῖς ἐκείναις μέγας γενόμενος Μωυσῆς ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραήλ. κατανοήσας δὲ τὸν πόνον αὐτῶν ὁρᾷ ἄνθρωπον Αἰγύπτιον τύπτοντα τινα Ἑβραῖον τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἀδελφῶν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
2:12πεαὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἄμμῳ.
2:13ἐξελθὼν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ᾇ ὁρᾷ δύο ἄνδρας Ἐβραίους διαπληκτιζομένους, καὶ λέγει τῷ Διὰ τί σὺ τύπτεις τὸν πλησίον ;
2:14ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ’ ἡμῶν ; μὴ ἀνελεῖν με σὺ θέλεις ὃν τρόπον ἀνεῖλες ἐχθὲς τὸν Αἰγύπτιον ; ἐφοβήθη δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ εἰπεν Εἰ οὕτως ἐμφανὲς γέγονεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο,.
2:15ἤκουσεν δὲ Φαραὼ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, καὶ ἐζήτει ἀνελεῖν Μωυσῆν· ἀνεχώρησεν δὲ Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ προσώπου Φαραὼ καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν γῇ Μαδιάμ· ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς γῆν Μαδιὰμ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ φρέατος.
2:16τῷ δὲ ἱερεῖ Μαδιὰμ ἦσαν ἔπτα θυγατέρες, ποιμαίνουσαι τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν Ἰοθόρ· π,ρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν Ἰοθόρ.
2:17παραγενόμενοι δὲ οἱ ποιμένες ἐξέβαλλον αὐτάς· ἀναστὰς δὲ Μωυσῆς ἐρρύσατο αὐτάς, καὶ ἤντλησεν αὐταῖς καὶ ἐπότισεν τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν.
2:18παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς Ῥαγουὴλ ’τον πατέρα αὐτῶν· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐταῖς Διὰ τί ἐταχύνατε τ,ου παραγενέσθαι σήμερον ;
2:19αἱ δὲ εἶπαν Ἄνθρωπος Αἰγύπτιος ἐρρύσατο ἧμας ἀπὸ τῶν ποιμένων, καὶ ἤντλησεν ἡμῖν καὶ ἐπότισεν τὰ πρόβατα ἡμῶν.
2:20ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτοῦ Καὶ ποῦ ἐστι,. καὶ ἵνα τί καταλελοίπατε τὸν ἄνθρωπον ; καλέσατε οὖν αὐτὸν ὅπως φάγῃ ἄρτον.
2:21κατῳκίσθη δὲ Μωυσῆς παρὰ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ· καὶ ἐξέδοτο Σεπφώραν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ Μωυσῇ γυναῖκα.
2:22ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λαβοῦσα ἢ γυνὴ ἔτεκεν υἱόν· καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν Μωυσῆς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Γηρσάμ, λέγων ὅτι πάροικός εἰμι ἐν γῇ ἀλλοτρίᾳ.
2:23Μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς πολλὰς ἐκείνας ἐτελεύτησεν ὁ Αἰγύπτου. καὶ κατεστέναξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων καὶ ἀνεβόησαν, καὶ ἀνέβη ἡ βοὴ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων·
2:24καὶ εἰσήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν στεναγμὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ θεὸς τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ τῆς πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ·
2:25καὶ ἔπιδεν ὁ θεὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
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).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
