| 38:1 | Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ κατέβη Ἰούδας ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀφίκετο ἓως πρὸς ἂνθρωπόν τινα τινα Ὀδολλαμίτην ᾧ ὄνομα Είρᾶς῎ |
| 38:2 | καὶ ἴδεν ἐκεῖ Ἰούδας θυγατέρα ἀνθρώπου ἀνθρώπου ἧ Σαύα. καὶ ἒλαβεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτήν. |
| 38:3 | καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἒτεκεν υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἢρ. |
| 38:4 | καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὂνομα αὐτοῦ Αύγάν. |
| 38:5 | καὶ π ρπσιεῖσα ἔτι ἔτεκεν υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σηλώμ. αὕτη δὲ ἦν ἐν Χασβὶ ἡνίκα ἒτεκεν αὐτούς. |
| 38:6 | καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰούδας γυναῖκα Ἢρ τῷ D πρωτοτόκῳ αὐτοῦ, ᾗ ὄνομα Θαμάρ. |
| 38:7 | ἐγένετο δὲ Ἢρ πρωτότοκος Ἰούδα πονηρὸς ἐναντίον κυρίου, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός. |
| 38:8 | εῖπεν δὲ Ἰούδας τῷ Αύνάν Εἲσελθε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου καὶ γάμβρευσαι αὐτήν, καὶ ἀνάστησον σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου. |
| 38:9 | γνοὺς δὲ Αύνὰν ἣτι οὐκ αὐτῷ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα, ἐγίνετο, ὃταν εἰσήρχετο πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἐξέχεεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι σοέρνα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ. |
| 38:10 | πονηρὸν δὲ ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ἐναντίον θεοῦ ὅτι ἐποίησεν τοῦτο, καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν καὶ τοῦτον. |
| 38:11 | εἶπεν δὲ Ἰούδας Θαμὰρ τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ Κάθου χήρα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου ἕως μέγας γένηται Σηλὼμ ὁ υἱός μου· εἶπεν γάρ Μή ποτε ἀποθάνῃ καὶ οὗτος ὥσπερ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ. ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ Θαμάρ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς. |
| 38:12 | ἐπληθύνθησαν δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ ἡμέραι καὶ ἀπέθανεν Σαύα ἡ γυνὴ Ἰούδα· καὶ παρακληθεὶς Ἰούδας ἀνέβη ἐπὶ κείρονταςτὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς καὶ Εἱρᾶς ὁ ποιμὴν αὐτοῦ ὁ Ὀδολλαμείτης, εἰς Θαμνά. |
| 38:13 | καὶ ἀπηγγέλη Θαμὰρ τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ὁ πενθερός σου ἀνέβη εἰς Θαμνὰ κεῖραι τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ. |
| 38:14 | κα ὶ περιελομένη τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς χηρεύσεως ἀφ’ ἑαυτῆς περιεβάλετο θερίστρῳ καὶ ἐκαλλωπίσατο, καὶ ἐκάθισεν πρὸς ταῖς πύλαις Αἰνάν, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν παρόδῳ Θαμνά. ἴδεν γὰρ ὅτι μέγας γέγονεν Σηλὼμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐκ ἒδωκεν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα. |
| 38:15 | καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν Ἰούδας ἒδοξεν αὐτὴν πόρνην εἶναι· κατεκαλύψατο γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω αὐτήν. |
| 38:16 | ἐξέκλινεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν τὴν ὁδὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἒασόν με εἰσελθεῖν πρὸς σέ· οὐ γὰρ ἒγνω ὃτι ἡ νύμφη αὐτοῦ ἐστίν. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Τί μοι δώσεις ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃς πρὸς μέ ; |
| 38:17 | ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐγὠ σοι ἀποστέλλω ἔριφον αἰγῶν ἐκ τῶν προβάτων. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Ἐὰν δῷς ἀρραβῶνα ἕως τοῦ ἀποστεῖλαί σε. |
| 38:18 | ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τίνα τὸν ἀρραβῶνά σοι δώσω ; ἠ’ δὲ εἶπεν τὸν δακτύλιόν σου καὶ τὸν ὁρμίσκον καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν ἐν τῇ χειρί σου. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτήν· καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ. |
| 38:19 | καὶ ἀναστᾶσα ἀπῆλθεν, καὶ περιείλατο τὸ θέριστρον ἀφ’ ἑαυτῆς, καὶ ἐνεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς αὐτῆς. |
| 38:20 | ἀπέστειλεν δὲ Ἰούδας τὸν ἔριφον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἐν ὶ τοῦ ποιμένος αὐτοῦ τοῦ ’oδολλαμείτου, κομίσασθαι τὸν ἀρραβῶνα παρὰ τῆς γυναικός· καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν αὐτήν. |
| 38:21 | ἐπηρώτησεν δὲ τοὺς ἂνδρας τοὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου Ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ πόρνη ἡ γενομένη ἐν Αἰνὰν τῆς ὁδοῦ ; καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἦν ἐνταῦθα πόρνη. |
| 38:22 | καὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς Ιούδαν καὶ εἶπεν οὐχ εὗρον, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου λέγου. σιν μὴ εἶναι ἐνταῦθα πόρνην. |
| 38:23 | εἶπεν δὲ Ἰούδας Ἐχέτω αὐτά, ἀλλὰ μή ποτε καταγελασθῶμεν· ἐγὼ μὲν ἀπέσταλκα τὸν ἔριφον τοῦτον, σὺ δὲ οὐχ εὕρηκας. |
| 38:24 | ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τρίμηνον ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Ἰούδᾳ λέγοντες Ἐκπεπόρνευκεν Θαμάρ ἡ νύμφη σου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἕλει ἐκ πορνείας. εἶπεν δὲ Ἰούδας Ἐξαγάγετε αὐτὴν καὶ κατακαυθήτω. |
| 38:25 | αὐτἠ δὲ ἀγομένη ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τὸν πενθερὸν αὐτῆς λέγουσα Ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τίνος ταῦτά ἐστιν ἐγὼ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχω· καὶ εἶπεν Ἐπίγνωθι τίνος ὁ δακτύλιος κα ὁ ὁρμίσκος καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος αὕτη. |
| 38:26 | ἐπέγνω δὲ Ἰούδας καὶ εἶπεν Δεδικαίωται Θαμὰρ ἢ ἐγώ, οὗ εἵνεκεν οὐκ ἔδωκα αὐτὴν Σηλὼμ τῷ υἱῷ μου· καὶ οὐ προσέθετο ἔτι τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτήν. |
| 38:27 | ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἒτεκεν, καὶ τῇδε ἦν δίδυμα ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς. |
| 38:28 | ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ τίκτειν αὐτὴν ὁ εἷς προεξήνεγκεν τὴν χεῖρα· λαβοῦσα δὲ ἡ μαῖα ἔδησεν ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κόκκινον, λέγουσα Οὖ τος ἐξελεύσεται πρότερος. |
| 38:29 | ἠὼς δὲ ἐπισυνήγαγεν τὴν χεῖρα, καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Τί διεκόπη διὰ σὲ φραγμός ; καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Φάρες. |
| 38:30 | καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐφ’ ᾧ ἦν ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τὸ κόκκινον· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζάρα. |

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.
