| 4:1 | Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ συναθροίζονται ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐπὶ Ἀβενέζερ, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν Ἀφέκ. |
| 4:2 | καὶ παρατάσσονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔκλινεν ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἔπταισεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων , καὶ ἐπλήγησαν ἐν τῇ παρατάξει ἐν ἀγρῷ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν. |
| 4:3 | καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραήλ κατὰ τί ἔπταισεν ἡμᾶς Κύριος σήμερον ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων ; λάβωμεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ ἡμῶν ἐκ Σηλώμ, καὶ ἐξελθέτω ἐκ μέσου ἡμῶν καὶ σώσει ὑμᾶς ἐκ θρῶν ἡμῶν. |
| 4:4 | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς Σηλώμ, καὶ αἴρουσιν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου καθημένου χερουβείμ· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἤλει μετὰ τῆς κιβωτοῦ, Ὁφνεὶ καὶ Φεινεές. |
| 4:5 | καὶ ἐγεννήθη κυρίου εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, καὶ ἀνέκραξεν πᾶς καὶ ἤχησεν ἡ γῆ. |
| 4:6 | καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῆς κραυγῆς, καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τίς ἢ κραυγὴ ἡ μεγάλη αὕτη ἐν παρεμβολὴ τῶν Ἐβραίων ; καὶ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι κιβωτὸς Κυρίου ἥκει εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν. |
| 4:7 | καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ εἶπον οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ ἥκασιν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν· οὐαὶ ἡμῖν· ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς, Κύριε, σήμερον, ὅτι οὐ γέγονεν τοιαύτη ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην. |
| 4:8 | οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, τίς ἐξελεῖται ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν θεῶν τῶν στερεῶν τούτων,. οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ πατάξαντες τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐν πάσῃ πληγῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. |
| 4:9 | κραταιοῦσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς ἄνδρας καὶ πολεμήσατε αὐτούς. |
| 4:10 | καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτούς· καὶ πταίει ἀνὴρ καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες ταγμάτων. |
| 4:11 | καὶ κιβωτὸς θεοῦ ἑλήμφθη, καὶ ἀμφότεροι υἱοὶ Ἠλεὶ ἀπέθανον, Ὁφνεὶ καὶ Φεινεές. |
| 4:12 | καὶ ἔδραμεν ἀνὴρ Ἰεμειναὶος ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Σηλὼμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διερρηγότα Ἴ’ καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ. |
| 4:13 | καὶ ἦλθεν, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἤλει ἐπὶ δίφρου παρὰ τὴν πύλην σκοπεύων τὴν ὁδόν, ὅτι ἦν καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐξεστηκυῖα περὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπαγγεὶλαι, καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ἡ πόλις. |
| 4:14 | καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἤλει τὴν φωνὴν τῆς βοῆς καὶ εἶπεν τίς ἡ βοὴ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης; καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σπεύσας εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Ἤλει. |
| 4:15 | καὶ Ηλεὶ υἱὸς ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπανέστησαν καὶ οὐκ ἔβλεπεν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλεὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν τοῖς περιεστηκόσιν αὐτῷ τίς ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἤχους τούτου ; |
| 4:16 | καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ σπεύσας Ηλεὶ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἥκων ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, κἀγὼ πέφευγα ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως σήμερον. καὶ εἶπεν Τί τὸ γεγονὸς ῥῆμα, τέκνον; |
| 4:17 | καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοί σου θεοῦ τεθνήκασιν, καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἐλήμφθη. |
| 4:18 | καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐμνήσθη τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ δίφρου ὀπισθίως ἐχόμενος τῆς πύλης, καὶ συνετρίβη ὁ νῶτος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανεν, ὅτι πρεσβύτης ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ βαρύς· καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκρινεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἴκοσι ἔτη. |
| 4:19 | Καὶ νύμφη αὐτοῦ γυνὴ Φεινεὲς συνειληφυῖα τοῦ τεκεῖν· κοὶ ἤκουσεν τὴν ἀγγελίαν ὅτι ἑλήμφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὅ τέθνηκεν ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ ἔτεκεν, ὅτι ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ὠδῖνες αὐτῆς· |
| 4:20 | καί ἐν τῷ καιρῷ αὐτῆς ἀποθνήσκει. καὶ αὐτῇ αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ παρεστηκυῖαι αὐτῇ αὐτῇ φοβοῦ, ὅτι υἱὸν τέτοκας. καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη, καὶ οὐκ ἐνόησεν ἡ καρδία αὐτῆς. |
| 4:21 | κα ἐκάλεσεν τὸ παιδάριον ὦαί βαρχαβώθ, ὑπὲρ τῆ,ς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ deov καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πενθεροῦ αὐτῆς καὶ ὕπερ του ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς. κυρίου. |

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.
