44:1	Καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰωσὴφ τῷ ὄντι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ λέγων Πλήσατε τοὺς μαρσίππους τῶν ἀνθρώπων βρωμάτων ὅσα ἐὰν ἆραι, καὶ ἐμβάλατε ἑκάστου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ σίππου αὐτοῦ·
44:2	καὶ τὸ κόνδυ μου τὸ ἀργυροῦν ἐμβάλατε εἰς τὸν μάρσιππον τοῦ νεωτέρου, καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ σίτου αὐτοῦ. ἐγενήθη δὲ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ἸωσὴΦ καθὼς εἶπεν.
44:3	τὸ πρωὶ διέφαυσεν καὶ οἱ ἂν θρωποι ἀπεστάλησαν, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἄνοι αὐτῶν.
44:4	ἐξελθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πόλιν οὐκ ἀπέσχον μακράν, καὶ Ἴωσ’ εἶπεν τῶ ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἀναστὰς ἐπιδίωξον ὀπίσω τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ καταλήμψῃ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς Τί ὅτι ἀνταπεδώκατέ μοι πονηρὰ ἀντὶ καλῶν; ἳνα τί ἐκλέψατέ μου τὸ κόνδυ τὸ ἀργυροῦν ;
44:5	οὐ τοῦτό ἐστιν ἐν ᾧ πίνει ὁ κύριός μου; αὐτὸς δὲ οἰωνισμῷ οἰωνίζεται ἐν αὐτῷ· πονηρὰ συντετέλεσθε ἃ πεποιήκατε.
44:6	εὑρὼν δὲ αὐτοὺς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.
44:7	οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ ἵνα τί λαλεῖ ὁ κύριος κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ; μὴ γένοιτο τοῖς παισίν σου ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο.
44:8	εἱ τὸ μὲν ἀπγύριον ὃ εὕραμεν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ἡμῶν ἀπεατέψαμεν πρὸς σὲ ἐκ γῆς Χανάαν, πῶς ἀν’ κλέψαιμεν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ κυρίου σου ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον ;
44:9	παρ' ᾧ ἂν εὑρεθῇ τὸ κόνδυ τῶν παίδων σου, ἀποθνησκέτω· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐσόμεθα παῖδες τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
44:10	ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Καὶ νῦν ὡς λέγετε, οὕτως ὦσται· ὁ ἄνθρωπος παρ’ ᾧ ἂν εὑρεθῇ τὸ κόνδηυ, αὐτὸς ἔσται μου παῖς, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἔσεσθε καθαροί.
44:11	καὶ ἒσπευσαν καὶ καθεῖλαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἤνοιξεν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ.
44:12	ἠρεύνα δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἀρξάμενος ἕως ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν νεώτερον, καὶ εὗρεν τὸ κόνδυ ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ τῷ Βενιαμείν.
44:13	καὶ διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
44:14	εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἸωσήΦ, ἒτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐπεσον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
44:15	εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς ἸωσήΦ Tί τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο ἐποιήσατε; οὐκ οὐκ ὅτι οἰωνισμῷ οἰωνιεῖται ἄνθρωπος οἷος ἐγώ ;
44:16	εἶπεν δὲ Ἰούδας Τί ἀντεροῦμεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἢ τί λαλήσωμεν ἢ τί δικαιωθῶμεν ; ὁ δὲ θεὸς εὗρεν τὴν ἀδικίαν τῶν παίδων σου· ἰδού ἐσμεν οἰκέται τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ παρ’ ᾦ εὑρέθη τὸ κόνδυ.
44:17	εἶπεν δὲ ἸωσήΦ Μἠ μοι γένοιτο ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· ὁ ἄνθρωπος παρ’ ᾧ εὑρέθη τὸ κόνδυ, αὐτὸς ἔσται μου παῖς· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀνάβητε μετὰ σωτηρίας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν.
44:18	Ἐγγίσας δὲ αὐτῷ Ἰούδας εἶπεν Δέομαι, κύριε· λαλησάτω ὁ παῖς σου ῥῆμα ἐναντίον σου, καὶ μὴ θυμωθῇς τῷ παιδί σου, ὅτι σὺ εἰ μετὰ Φαραώ. κύριε.
44:19	σὺ ἠρώτησας τοὺς παῖδάς σου λέγων Εἰ ὦτε πατέρα ἢ ἀδελφόν ;
44:20	καὶ εἴπαμεν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἔστιν ἡμῖν πατὴρ πρεσβύτερος, καὶ παιδίον νεώτερον γήρως αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπέθανεν, αὐτὸς δὲ μόνος ὑπελείφθη τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτὸν ἠγάπησεν.
44:21	δὲ τοῖς παισίν σου ὅτι Καταγάγετε αὐτὸν πρὸς μέ, καὶ ἐπιμελοῦμαι αὐτοῦ.
44:22	καὶ εἴπαμεν τῷ κυρίῳ Οὐ δυνήσεται τὸ παιδίον καταλιπεῖν τὸν πατέρα· ἐὰν δὲ καταλείπῃ τὸν πατέρα, ἀποθανεῖται.
44:23	σὺ δὲ εἶπας τοῖς παισίν σου Ἐὰν μὴ καταβῇ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος μεθ’ ὑμῶν, οὐ προσθήσεσθε ἔτι ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.
44:24	ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἀνέβημεν πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου πατέρα δὲ ἡμῶν, ἀπηγγείλαμεν αὐτῷ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ κυρίου.
44:25	εἶπεν δὲ ἡμῖν ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν βαδίσατε πάλιν, ἀγοράσατε ἡμῖν μικρὰβρώματα.
44:26	ἡμεῖς δὲ εἴπαμεν Οὐ δυνησόμεθα καταβῆναι· ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἡμῶν ὁ νεώτερος καταβαίνει μεθ’ ἡμῶν, καταβησόμεθα· οὐ γὰρ δυνησόμεθα ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ νεωτέρου μὴ ὄντος μεθ’ ἡμῶν.
44:27	εἶπεν δὲ ὁ παῖς σου ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν πρὸς ἡμᾶς Ὑμεῖς γινώσκετε ὅτι δύο ἔτεκέν μοι ἡ γυνή·
44:28	καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ εἷς ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ εἴπατε Θηριόβρωτος γέγονεν, καὶ οὐκ ἴδον αὐτὸν ἔτι.
44:29	ἐὰν οὖν λάβητε καὶ τοῦτον ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ συμβῇ αὐτῷ μαλακία ἐν τῆ ὁδῷ, καὶ κατάξετέ μου τὸ γῆρας μετὰ λύπης εἰς ᾅδου.
44:30	νῦν οὖν ἐὰν εἰσπορεύομαι πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου πατέρα δὲ ἡμῶν, καὶ τὸ παιδάριον μὴ ᾖ μεθ’ ἡμῶν, ἢ δὲ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκκρέμαται ἐκ τῆς τούτου ψυχῆς·
44:31	καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν μὴ ὂν τὸ παιδάριον μεθ’ ἡμῶν, τελευτήσει, καὶ κατάξουσιν οἱ παῖδές σου τὸ γῆρας τοῦ παιδός σου πατρὸς δὲ ἡμῶν μετ’ ὀδύνης εἰς ᾅδου.
44:32	ὁ γὰρ παῖς σου ἐκδέδεκται τὸ παιδίον παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς λέγων Ἐὰν μὴ ἀγάγω αὐτὸν πρὸς σὲ καὶ στήσω αὐτὸν ἐναντίον σου, ἡμαρτηκὼς ἔσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
44:33	νῦν οὖν παραμενῶ σοι παῖς ἀντὶ τοῦ παιδίου, οἰκέτης τοῦ κυρίου· τὸ δὲ παιδίον ἀναβήτω μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν.
44:34	πῶν γὰρ ἀναβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, τοῦ παιδίου μὴ ὄντος μεθ’ ἡμῶν ; ἵνα μὴ ἴδω τὰ κακὰ ἃ εὑρήσει τὸν πατέρα μου.

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.
