| 43:1 | Ὁ δὲ λιμὸς ἐνίσχυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 43:2 | ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκ’ λεσαν καταΦαγεῖν τὸν σῖτον ὃν ἤνεγκαν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν πορευθέντες πορευθέντες πρίασθε ἡμῖν μικρὰ βρώματα. |
| 43:3 | εῖπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰούδας λέγων Διαμαρτυρίᾳ διαμεμαρτύρηται ἡμῖν ὁ ἂψ λέγων οὐκ ὂψεσθε τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐὰν μὴ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος καταβῇ πρὸς μέ. |
| 43:4 | εἰ μὲν οὖν ἀποστέλλεις τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν μεθ’ ἡμῶν, καταβησόμεθα καὶ ἀγοράσωμέν σοι βρώματα· |
| 43:5 | εἰ δὲ μὴ ἀποστέλλεις τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν μεθ’ ἡμῶν, οὐ πορευσόμεθα· ὁ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος εἶπεν ἡμῖν λέγων οὐκ ὄψεσθέ μου τὸ πρόσωπον ἐὰν μὴ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος μεθ’ ὑμῶν ᾖ. |
| 43:6 | εἶπεν δὲ Ἰσραήλ Τί ἐκακοποιήσατέ μοι, ἀναγγείλαντες τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ εἰ ἔστιν ὑμῖν ἀδελφός; |
| 43:7 | οἰ δὲ εἶπαν Ἐρωτῶν ἐπηρώτησεν ἡμᾶς ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ τὴν γενεὰν ἡ λέγων Εἰ ἒτι ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ζῆ ; εἰ ἔστιν ὑμῖν ἀδελφός; καὶ ἀπηγγείλαμεν αὐτῷ κατὰ τὴν ἐπερώτησιν αὐτοῦ. μὴ ᾔδειμεν εἰ ἐρεῖ ἡμῖν Ἀγάγετε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν; |
| 43:8 | εἶπεν δὲ Ἰούδας πρὸς Ἰσραὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Ἀπ’ ὅστ’ εἷλον τὸ παιδάριον μετ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἀναστάντες πορευσόμεθα, ἵνα ζῶμεν καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ σὺ καὶ ἡ ἀποσκευὴ ἡμῶν. |
| 43:9 | ἐγὼ δὲ ἐκδέχομαι αὐτόν, ἐκ χειρός μου ζήτησον αὐτόν· ἐὰν μὴ ἀγάγω αὐτὸν πρὸς σὲ καὶ στήσω αὐτὸν ἐναντίον σου, ἡμαρτηκὼς ἔσομαι πρὸς σὲ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας. |
| 43:10 | εἰ μὴ γὰρ ἐβραδύναμὲν, ἤδη ἂν ὑπεστρέψαμεν δίς. |
| 43:11 | εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν Εἰ οὕτως ἐστίν, τοῦτο ποιήσατε· λάβετε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τῆς γῆς ἐν τοῖς ἀηίοις ὑμῶν, καὶ καταγάγετε τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ δῶρα τῆς ῥιτίνης καὶ τοῦ μέλιτος, θυμίαμα καὶ στακτὴν καὶ τερέμινθον καὶ κάρυα. |
| 43:12 | καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον δισσὸν λάβετε ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν ὑμῶν· τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀποστραφὲν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ὑμῶν ἀποστρέψατε μεθ’ ὑμῶν· μή ποτε ἀγνόημά ἐστιν. |
| 43:13 | καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν λάβετε, καὶ ἀναστάντες κατάβητε πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον. |
| 43:14 | ὁ δὲ θεός μου δᾠη ὑμῖν χόριν ἐναντίον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἀποστείλαι τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν ἕνα καῖ’ τὸν Βενιαμείν· ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ καθὰ ἠτέκνωμαι, ἠτέκνωμαι. |
| 43:15 | Δαβόντες δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τὰ δῶρα ταῦτα καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἔλαβον ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν Βενιαμείν· καὶ ἀνακατέβησαν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἒστησαν ἐναντίον Ἰωσήφ. |
| 43:16 | ὂδεμ δὲ ἸωσὴΦ αὐτοὺς καὶ τὸν Βενιαμεὶν τὸν ἀδελΦὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν ὁμομήτριον, κα ἐνετείλατο τῷ ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν τοὺς ἀνθρώ ποὺς εἰς τήν οἰκίαν κοὶ σφάξον θύματα καὶ ἑτοίμασον· μετ’ ἐμοῦ γὰρ φάγονται οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἄρτους τὴν μεσημωρίαν . |
| 43:17 | ἐποίησεν δὲ ὁ ἄν· θρωπος καθὰ εἶπεν ἸωσήΦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἸωσήΦ. |
| 43:18 | ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ὅτι εἰσηνέχθησαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον ἸωσὴΦ εἶπαν Διὰ τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀποστραφὲν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ἡμῶν τὴν ἀρχὴν ἡμεῖς εἰσαγόμεθα, τοῦ συκοφαντῆσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπιἡμῖν, τοῦ λαβεῖν ἡμᾶς εἰς παῖδας καὶ τοὺς ὄνους ἡμῶν. |
| 43:19 | προσδὲ δὲ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἸωσὴΦ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ πυλῶνι τοῦ οἴκου |
| 43:20 | λἐγοντες Δεόμεθα, κύριε· κατέβημεν τὴν ἀρχὴν πρίασθαι βρώματα· |
| 43:21 | καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἤλθομεν εἰς τὸ καταλῦσαι καὶ ἠνοίξαμεν τοὺς μαρσίππους ἡμῶν, καὶ τόδε τὸ ἀργύριον ἑκάστου ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ αὐτοῦ. τὸ ἀργύριον ἡμῶν cv σταθμῷ ἀπε στρέψαμεν νῦν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ἡμῶν, |
| 43:22 | καὶ ἀργύριον ἕτερον ἠνέγκαμεν μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν ἀγοράσαι βρώματα· οὐκ οἴδαμεν τίς ἐνέβαλεν τὸ ἀργύριον εἰς τοὺς μαρσίππους ἡμῶν. |
| 43:23 | εἶ(??)εν δὲ αὐτοῖς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἵλεως ὑμῖν, μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἒδωκεν ὑμῖν θησαυροὺς ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ὑμῶν./ τὸ δὲ ἀργύριον ὑμῶν εὐδοκιμοῦν ἀπέχω. καὶ ἐξήγαγεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Συμεών, |
| 43:24 | καὶ ἤνεγκεν ὕδωρ νίψαι τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤνεγκεν χορτάσματα τοῖς ὄνοις αὐτῶν. |
| 43:25 | ἠτοίμασαν δὲ τὰ δῶρα ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν Ἰωσὴφ μεσημβρίᾳ· ἤκουσαν γὰρ ὅτι ἐκεῖ μέλλει ἀριστᾷν. |
| 43:26 | εἰσῆλθεν δὲ ἸωσὴΦ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, καὶ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ τὰ δῶρα ἁ εἶχον ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. |
| 43:27 | ἠρώτησεν δὲ αὐτούς ΙΙῶς ἒχετε; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Εἰ ὑγιαίνει ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ πρεσβύτερος ὃν εἲπατε; ἒτι ζῇ; |
| 43:28 | οἱ δὲ εἶπαν Ὑγιαίνει ὁ παῖς σου ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν, ἔτι ζῇ. καὶ εἶπεν Εὐλογητὸς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος τῷ θεῷ. καὶ κύψαντες πρρσεκύνησαν. |
| 43:29 | ἀναβλέψας δὲ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ἸσὴΦ ἴδεν Βενιαμεὶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν ὁμομήτριον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος, ὃν εἴπατε πρὸς μὲ ἀγαγεῖν; καὶ εἶπεν Ὁ θεὸς ἐλεήσαι σε, τέκνον. |
| 43:30 | ἐταράχθη δὲ Ἰρὸς συνεστρέφετο γὰρ τὰ ἔντερα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῷ ἀδελΦῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτει κλαῦσαι· εἰσελθὼν δὲ εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον ἔκλαυσεν ἐκεῖ. |
| 43:31 | καὶ νιψάμενος τὸ πρόσωπον ὂν ἐξελθὼν ἐνεκρατεύσατο, καὶ εἶπεν ΙΙαράθετε ἄρτους. |
| 43:32 | καὶ παρέθηκαν αὐτῷ μόνῳ, καὶ αὐτοῖς καθ’ ἑαυτούς, καὶ τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις τοῖς συνδειπνοῦσιν μετ’ αὐτοῦ καθ’ ἑαυτούς· οὐ γὰρ ἐδύναντο οἱ Αἰγήπτιοι συνεσθίειν μετὰ τῶν Ἐβραίων ἂρτους, βδέλυγμα γάρ ἐστιν τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις πᾶς ποιμὴν προβάτων. |
| 43:33 | ἐκάθισαν δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, ὁ πρωτότοκος κατὰ τὰ πρεσβεῖα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ νεώτερος κατὰ τὴν νεότητα αὐτοῦ. ἐξίσταντο δὲ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ. |
| 43:34 | ἦραν δὲ μερίδα παρ’ αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐμεγαλύνθη δὲ ἡ μερὶς Βενιαμεὶν παρὰ τὰς μερίδας πάντων πενταπλασίως πρὸς τὰς ἐκείνων. ἔπιον δὲ καὶ ἐμεθύσθησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ. |

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.
