| 3:1 | Καὶ Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς Ἀχαὰβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἔτει ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ Ἰωσαφὰθ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν δώδεκα ἔτη. |
| 3:2 | καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὡς ἢ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετέστησεν τὰς τοῦ Βάαλ ἃς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· |
| 3:3 | πλὴν ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ἰ βοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ ὄς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκολλήθη, οὐκ ἀπ’ αὐτῆς. |
| 3:4 | Καὶ Μωσὰ βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἦν νωκήθ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐπαναστάσει ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας ἀρνῶν καὶ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας κριῶν ἐπιπόκων. |
| 3:5 | καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἀχαὰβ καὶ ἠθέτησεν βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἐν βασιλεῖ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 3:6 | καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωρὰμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη ἐκ Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν Ἰσραήλ· |
| 3:7 | καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰθ βασιλέα Ἰούδα λέγων Βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἠθέτησεν ἐν ἐμοί. εἰ πορεύσῃ μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς Μωὰβ εἰς πόλεμον; καὶ εἶπεν Ἀναβήσομαι· ὄμοιός μοι ὄμοιός σοι, ὡς ὁ λαός μου ὁ λαός σου, ὡς οἱ ἵπποι μου οἱ .ἴπποι σου. |
| 3:8 | καὶ εἶπεν Ποίᾳ ὁδῷ ἀναβῶ ; καὶ εἶπεν Ὁδὸν ἔρημον Ἐδωμ. |
| 3:9 | καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα καὶ βασιλεὺς ’Eδώμ, καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν ὁδὸν ἑπτὰ ἡμερῶν· καὶ οὐκ ἢν ὕδωρ τῇ παρεμβολῇ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν |
| 3:10 | καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ Ὤ, ὅτι κέκληκεν Κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς παρερχομένους δοῦναι αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Μάβ. |
| 3:11 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφάθ Οὐκ έστιν ὦδε προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπιζητήσομεν τὸν κύριον παρ’ αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἶπεν Ὦδε Ἐλεισαῖε υἱὸς Ἰωσαφάθ, ὅς ἐπέχεεν ὕδωρ ἐπὶ χεῖρας Ἠλειού. |
| 3:12 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφάθ Ἔστιν αὐτῷ ῥῆμα· καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰθ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἐδώμ. |
| 3:13 | καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ Τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί; δεῦρο πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ πατρός σου. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ Μή, ὄτι κέκληκεν κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Μωάβ. |
| 3:14 | καὶ εἶπεν ’ ἡ Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ᾦ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἰ πρόσωπον Ἰωσαφὰθ βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἐγὼ λαμβάνω, ἦ ἐπέβλεψα πρὸς σὲ καὶ εἶδόν σε· |
| 3:15 | καὶ νῦν λάβε μοι ψάλλοντα. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἔψαλλεν ὁ ψάλλων, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν χεὶρ Κυρίου· |
| 3:16 | καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ποιήσατε τὸν χειμάρρουν τοῦτον βοθύνους |
| 3:17 | ὄτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Οὐκ ὄψεσθε πνεῦμα καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε ὑετόν, καὶ ὁ χειμάρρους οὖτος πλησθήσεται ὕδατος, καὶ πίεσθε ὑμεῖς καὶ αἱ κτήσεις ὑμῶν κοὶ τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν. |
| 3:18 | καὶ κοῦφος καὶ αὕτη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· καὶ παραδώσω τὴν Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ |
| 3:19 | καὶ πατάξετε πᾶσαν πόλιν ὀχυράν, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν καὶ πάσας πηγὰς ὕδατος ἐμφράξατε, καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἐν λίθοις. |
| 3:20 | καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πρωὶ ἀναβαινούσης τῆς καὶ ἰδοὺ ὕδατα ἥρχοντο ἐξ ὁδοῦ Ἐδώμ, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ |
| 3:21 | καὶ πᾶσα Μωὰβ ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς πολεαὐτούς· καὶ ἀνεβόησαν ἐ·κ παντὸς περιεζωσμένοι ζώνην καὶ Ὥ· καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ ὁρίου. |
| 3:22 | καὶ ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωί, καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα· καὶ εἶδεν Μωὰβ ἐξ ἐναντίας τὰ ὕδατα πυρρὰ ὡσεὶ αἷμα, |
| 3:23 | καὶ εἶπαν Αἷμα τοῦτο τῆς ῥομφαίας· οἱ βασιλεῖς, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἀνὴρ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τὰ σκῦλα, Μωάβ. |
| 3:24 | καὶ Ισραήλ· καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωάβ, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτλῶν. καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰσπορευόμενοι καὶ τύπτοντες τὴν Μωάβ, |
| 3:25 | καὶ τὰς πόλεις καθεῖλον· καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθήν, ἔρριψαν ἀνὴρ τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐνέπλησαν αὐτήν, καὶ πᾶσαν πηγὴν ἐνέφραξαν, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν κατέβαλον ἕως τοῦ καταλιπεῖν τοὺς λίθους τοῦ τοίχου καθῃρημένους· καὶ ἐκύκλευσαν οἱ σφενδονῆται καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτήν. |
| 3:26 | καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ὅτι ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἔλαβεν μεθ’ ἑαυτοῦ ἑπτακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐσπασμένους ῥομφαίαν διακόψαι πρὸς βασιλέα Ἐδώμ· καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν. θησαν. |
| 3:27 | καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρωτότοκον, ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους· καὶ ἐγένετο μετάμελος μέγας ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἀπῆραν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν. |

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.
