16:1	Ἐν ἔτει ἑπτακαιδεκάτῳ Φάκεε υἱοῦ Ῥομελίου ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀχὰζ υἱὸς Ἰωαθὰμ βασιλέως Ἰούδα.
16:2	υἱὸς εἴκοσι ἐτῶν ἦν Ἀχὰς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου θεοῦ πιστῶς ὡς Δαυεὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
16:3	καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ, καί γε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ διῆγεν πυρὶ καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῆρεν Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
16:4	καὶ ἐθυσίαζεν καὶ εθυμία ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν βουνῶν καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους.
16:5	Τότε ἀνέβη Ῥαασσὼν βασιλεὺς Συρίας καὶ Φάκεε υἱὸς Ῥομελίου βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ έπολιόρκουν ἐπὶ Ἀχάζ, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύναντο πολεμεῖν.
16:6	ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ 'Ραασσὼν βασιλεὺς Συρίας τὴν Αἰλὰθ τῇ Συρίᾳ, καὶ Ἰουδαίους ἐξ Αἰλάθ, καὶ Ἰδουμαῖοι ἦλθον καὶ ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
16:7	καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀχὰζ πρὸς Θαλγαθφελλασὰρ βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων λέγων Δοῦλός σου καὶ υἱός σου ἐγώ· ἀνάβηθι, σῶσόν με ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ τῶν ἐπανισταμένων ἐπ’ ἐμέ.
16:8	καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀχὰζ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν θησαυροῖς οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ δῶρα·
16:9	καὶ ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ασσυρίων εἰς Δαμασκόν, καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτὴν καὶ α καὶ τὸν Ῥαασσὼν ἐθανάτωσεν.
16:10	Καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ τῷ Θαλγαλφελλασὰρ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων εἰς Δαμασκόν· καὶ εἶδεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν Δαμασκῷ· κα ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀχὰζ πρὸς Οὐρείαν τὸν ἱερέα τὸ ὁμοίωμα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τὸν ῥυθμὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν ποίησιν αὐτοῦ.
16:11	καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Οὐρείας ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θυσιαστήριον κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Ἀχὰζ ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ.
16:12	καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ θυσιακαὶ ἀνέβη ἐπ’ αὐτό,
16:13	καὶ ἐθυμίασεν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν αὐτοῦ ὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ, κα προσέχεεν τὸ αἱμα εἰρηνικῶν τῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον
16:14	τὸ χαλκοῦν τὸ Κυρίου καὶ προσήγαγεν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου, ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ μηρὸν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κατὰ βορρᾶν.
16:15	καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀχὰζ τῷ Οὐρείᾳ τῷ ἱερεῖ λέγων Ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ μέγα πρόσφερε τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν τὴν πρωινὴν καὶ τὴν θυσίαν τὴν ἑσπερινήν, κα τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶν αἷμα ὁλοκαυτώσεως καὶ πᾶν αἷμα θυσίας ἐπ’ αὐτὸ προσχεεῖς· ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν ἔσται μοι εἰς τὸ πρωί.
16:16	κ Οὐρείας ὁ ἱερεὺς κατὰ πάντα ὄσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς ’
16:17	καὶ συνέκοψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ συνκλείσματα τῶν μεχωνὼθ καὶ μετῆρεν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν τὸν λουτῆρα, καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καθεῖλεν ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν τῶν χαλκῶν τῶν ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ βάσιν λιθίνην.
16:18	καὶ τὸν θεμέλιον τῆς καθέδρας ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ τὴν εἴσοδον τοῦ βασιλέως τὴν ἔξω ἐπέστρεψεν οἴκῳ Κυρίου προσώτου προσώπου βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
16:19	Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀχὰζ ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ ν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
16:20	καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀχὰζ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυείδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

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.
