6:1	Καὶ εἶπον οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν πρὸς Ἐλεισαῖε Ἰδοὺ δὴ ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἡμεῖς οἰκοῦμεν ἐνώπιόν σου στενὸς ἀφ’ ἡμῶν·
6:2	πορευθῶμεν δὴ ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου καὶ λάβωμεν ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ εἷς δοκὸν μίαν, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ἐκεῖ τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ. καὶ εἶπεν Δεῦτε.
6:3	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ εἷς Ἐπιεικῶς, δεῦρο μετὰ τῶν δούλων σου· καὶ εἶπεν ’Eγὼ πορεύσομαι.
6:4	καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετ’ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ ἔτεμνον τὰ ξύλα.
6:5	καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ εἷς καταβάλλων τὴν δοκόν, καὶ τὸ σιδήριον ἐξέπεσεν εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐβόησεν Ὤ, κύριε· καὶ αὐτὸ κεκρυμμένον .
6:6	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ Ποῦ ἔπεσεν ; καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῶ τὸν τόπον· καὶ ἀπέκνισεν ξύλον καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ καὶ ἐπεπόλασεν τὸ σιδήριον.
6:7	καὶ εἴρηκεν Ὕψωσον σαυτῷ· καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτό.
6:8	Καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἦν πολεμῶν ἐν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ λέγων Εἰς τὸν τόπον τόνδε τινὰ ἐ παρεμβαλῶ.
6:9	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐλεισαῖε πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ Φύλαξαι μὴ παρελθεῖν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ὄτι ἐκεῖ Συρία
6:10	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῶ Ἐλεισαῖε, καὶ ἐφυλάξατο ἐκεῖθεν οὐ μίαν οὐδὲ δύο.
6:11	καὶ ιλέως Συρίας περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, καὶ ἐ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖτέ μοι τίς δωσίν με βασιλεῖ Ἰσραήλ;
6:12	καὶ εἶπεν εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ κύριε μου βασιλεῦ, ὄτι Ἐλεισαῖε ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἀναγγέλλει τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὺς ἐὰν λαλήσῃς ἐν τῷ ταμείῶ τοῦ κοιτῶνός σου.
6:13	καὶ ἐἶπεν Δεῦτε ἴδετε ποῦ οὗτος, κα ἀποστείλας λήμψομαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες Ἰδοὺ ἐν Δωθάειμ.
6:14	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεὶ ἴππον καὶ ἅρμα κα δύναμιν βαρεῖαν, καὶ ἦλθον νυκτὸς καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν πόλιν.
6:15	καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ λειτουργὸς Ἐλεισαῖε ἀναστῆναι κα ἐξῆλθεν, καὶ ἰδοὺ κυκλοῦσα τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἴππος καὶ ἄρμα· καὶ εἰπεν τὸ πρὸς αὐτόν Ὥ, κύριε· πῶς ποιήσωμεν ;
6:16	καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεισαῖε Μὴ φοβοῦ, ὄτι πλείους οἱ μεθ’ ἡμῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς μετ’ αὐτῶν.
6:17	καὶ προσεύξατο Ἐλεισαῖε καὶ εἶπεν κύριε, διάνοιξον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ παιδαρίου καὶ ἰδέτω· καὶ διήνοιξεν Κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶδεν· καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὄρος πλῆρες ἵππων, καὶ ἄρμα πυρὸς περικύκλῳ Ἐλεισαῖε.
6:18	καὶ κατέβησαν πρὸς αὐτόν· κα προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον καὶ εἶπεν Πάταξον δὴ τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ἀορασίᾳ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀορασίᾳ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ἐλεισαῖε.
6:19	καὶ εἰπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἐλεισαῖε Οὐκ αὕτη ἡ πόλις καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδός· δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ἄξω ὑμᾶς πρὸς τὸν ἄνδερα ὃν ζητεῖτε· κα ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς Σαμάρειαν.
6:20	καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσῆλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ εἰπεν Ἐλεισαῖε Ἄνοιξον δή, Κύριε, τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδέτωτσαν· καὶ διήνοιξεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶδον· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦσαν ἐν αμαρείας.
6:21	καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, ὡς εἶδεν αὐτούς Εἰ ς πατάξω, πάτερ,.
6:22	καὶ εἶπεν Οὑ πατάξεις, εἰ μὴ οὑς ῄψμαλώἐν ῥομφαίᾳ σου καὶ τόξῳ σου σὺ τύπτες· παράθες ἄρτους καὶ ὕδωρ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ φαγέτωσαν καὶ πιέτωσαν, καὶ ἀπελθέτωσαν πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν.
6:23	καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς παράθεσιν μεγάλην, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν. καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι μονόζωνοι Συρίας τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν Ἰσραήλ.
6:24	ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἤθροισεν υἱὸς Ἁδὲρ βασιλεὺς Συρίας πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ κα ἀνέβη, κα περιεΣαμάρειαν.
6:25	καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, κα ἰδοὺ ηντο ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἐγενήθη κεφαλὴ ὄνου πεντήκοντα ἀργυρίου καὶ τέταρτον τοῦ κάβου κόπρου περιστερῶν πέντε ἀργυρίου.
6:26	καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ διαπορευόμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, καὶ γυνὴ ἐβόησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα Σῶσον, κύριε βασιλεῦ.
6:27	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Μή σε σώσαι Κύριος· πόθεν σώσω σε; μὴ ἀπὸ ἄλωνος ἢ ἀπὸ ληνοῦ;
6:28	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς Τί εστιν σοι ; καὶ εἶπεν ἡ Αὕτη εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου, καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν υἱόν μου, καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν αὔριον.
6:29	καὶ ἡψήσαμεν τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ ἐφάγομεν αὐτόν, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ Δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φάγωμεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔκρυψεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς.
6:30	καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς λόγους τῆς γυναικός, διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς διεπορεύετο ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὸν σάκκον ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσωθεν
6:31	καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ στήσεται ἢ κεφαλὴ Ἐλεισαῖε ἐπ’ αὐτῷ σήμερον.
6:32	καὶ Ἐλεισαῖε ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐκάθηντο μετ’ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἄνδρα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Εἰ ᾔδειτε ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ φονευτοῦ ἀφελεῖν τὴν κεφαλήν μου; ἴδετε ὡς ἄν ἔλθῃ ὁ ἄγγελος, ἀποκλείσατε τὴν θύραν καὶ παραθλίψατε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ θύρᾳ· οὐχὶ φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ ;
6:33	ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος μετ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ αὕτη ἡ κακία παρὰ Κυρίου· τί ὑπομείνω τῷ κυρίῳ ἔτι; VII

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.
