5:1Vκαὶ Ἀαρὼν πρὸς Φαραὼ καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ Ἰσραήλ Ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου, ἵνα μοι ἑορτάσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
5:2καὶ εἶπεν Φαραώ τίς ἐστιν οὗ εἰσακούσομαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ὥτε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ; οὐκ οἶδα τὸν κύριον, καὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἐξαποστέλλω.
5:3καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ῾Ο θεὸς τῶν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, οπως θυσωμεν τῳ ἐῷ ἤμων, μὴ ποτε συναντήσῃ ἥμιν θάνατος ἢ φόνος.
5:4καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἵνα τί, ὶ Ἀαρών, διαστρέφετε τὸν λαόν μου ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων; ἀπέλτην θατε ἕκαστος ὑμῶν πρὸς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.
5:5καὶ εἷπεν Φαραώ Ἴδου νῦν πολυπληθεῖ ὁ λαός· μὴ οὑν καταπαύσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων.
5:6συνέταξεν δὲ Φαραὼ τοῖς ἐργοδιώκταις τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τοῖς γραμματεῦσιν τεῦσιν λέγων
5:7Οὐκέτι προστεθήσεται διδόναι ἄχυρον τῷ λῆ εἰς τὴν πλινθουργίαν καθάπερ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν· αὐτοὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ συναγαγέτωσαν ἑαυτοῖς ἄχυρα.
5:8καὶ τὴν σύνταξιν τῆς πλινθίας ἧς αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἐπιβαλεῖς αὐτοῖς, οὐκ ἀφελεῖς οὐδέν· σχολάζουσιν γάρ, διὰ τοῦτο κεκράγασιν λέγοντες λέγοντες καὶ θύσωμεν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν.
5:9βαρυνέσθω τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων, καὶ μεριμνάτωσαν ταῦτα, καὶ μὴ μεριμνάτωσαν ἐν λόγοις κενοῖς.
5:10κατέσπευδον δὲ αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐργοδιῶκται καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγοντες τάδε λέγει Φαραώ οὐκέτι δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἄχυρα·
5:11αὐτοὶ πορευόμενοι συλλέγετε ἑαυτοῖς ἄχυρα ὅθεν ἐὰν εὕρητε, οὐ γὰρ ἀφαιρεῖται ἀπὸ τῆς συντάξεως ὑμῶν οὐθέν.
5:12καὶ διεσπάρη ὁ λαὸς ἐν ὅλῃ γῆ Αἰγύπτῳ συναγαγεῖν καλάμην εἰς ἄχυρα·
5:13οἱ δὲ ἐργοδιῶκται κατέσπευδον αὐτοὺς λέγοντες Συντελεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τὰ καθήκοντα καθ’ ἡμέραν καθάπερ καὶ ὅτε τὸ ἄχυρον ἐδίδοτο ὑμῖν.
5:14καὶ ἐμαστιγώθησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς τοῦ γένους τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ οἱ κατασταθέντες ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐπ’ ἐπιστατῶν τοῦ Φαραώ, λέγοντες Διὰ τί οὐ συνετελέσατε τὰς συντάξεις ὑμῶν τῆς πλινθίας καθάπερ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν καὶ τὸ τῆς σήμερον;
5:15εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ κατεβόησαν πρὸς Φαραὼ λέγοντες ἵνα τί οὕτως ποιεῖς τοῖς σοῖς οἰκέταις;
5:16ἄχυρον οὐ δίδοται τοῖς οἰκέταις σου, καὶ τὴν πλίνθον ἡμῖν λέγουσιν ποιεῖν, καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ παῖδές σου μεμαστίγωνται· ἀδικήσεις οὖν τὸν λαόν σου.
5:17καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σχολάζετε, σχολασταί ἐστε· διὰ τοῦτο λέγετε πορευθῶμεν θύσωμεν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν.
5:18νῦν οὖν πορευθέντες ἐργάζεσθε· τὸ γὰρ ἄχυρον οὐ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ τὴν σύνταξιν τῆς πλινθίας ἀποδώσετε.
5:19ἑώρων δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἑαυτοὺς ἐν κακοῖς λέγοντες οὐκ ἀπολείψετε τῆς πλινθίας τὸ καθῆκον τῇ ἡμέρᾳ.
5:20συνήντησαν δὲ Μωυσῇ καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐρχομένοις εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, ἐκ ἐκπορευομένῶν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Φαραώ,
5:21καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς Ἴδοι ὁ θεὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ὅτι ἐβδελύξατε τὴν ὀσμὴν ἡμῶν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ, δοῦναι ῥομφαίαν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς.
5:22Ἐπέστρεψεν δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν κύριε, τί ἐκάκωσας τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ; καὶ ἵνα τί ἀπέσταλκάς με ;
5:23καὶ ἀφ’ οὗ πεπόρευμαι πρὸς Φαραὼ λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι, ἐκάκωσεν VI

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.
