2:1	Καὶ τῇ Νωεμεὶν ἀνὴρ γνώριμος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐκ τῆς συγγενίας ᾿Αβειμέλεχ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῶ Βόος.
2:2	καὶ ἡ Μωαβεῖτις τοῖς στάχυσιν κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῇ Πορεύου, θυγάτηρ.
2:3	καὶ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ κατόπισθεν τῶν τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ περιέπεσεν περιπτώματι τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ Βόος, τοῦ ἐκ συγγενείας ᾿Αβειμέλεχ·
2:4	Καὶ ἰδοὺ Βόος ἦλθεν ἐκ Βαιθλέεμ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς θερίζουσιν Κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν· κοὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ Εὐλογήσαι σε Κύριος.
2:5	καὶ εἶπεν Βόος τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐφεστῶτι ἐπὶ τοὺς θερίζοντας τίνος ἡ νεᾶνις αὕτη ;
2:6	καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἐφεστὸς ἐπὶ τούς θερίζοντας καὶ εἶπεν Ἡ παῖς ἡ Μωαβεῖτίς ἐστιν, ἡ ἀποστραφεῖσα μετὰ Νωεμεὶν ἐξ ἀγροῦ Μωάβ·
2:7	καὶ εἶπεν Συλλέξω δὴ καὶ συνάξω ἐν τοῖς δράγμασιν ὄπισθεν τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη ἀπὸ πρωίθεν καὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας, οὐ κατέπαυσεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ μικρόν.
2:8	καὶ εἶπεν Βόος πρὸς ῾Ρούθ οὐκ ἤκουσας, θυγάτηρ; μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ἀγρῷ συλλέξαι ἑτέρῳ· καὶ σὺ οὐ πορεύσῃ ἐντεῦθεν, ὧδε κολλήθητι μετὰ τῶν κορασίων μου.
2:9	οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν οὗ ἐὰν θερίζωσιν, καὶ πορεύση κατόπισθεν αὐτῶν. ἰδοὺ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῦ μὴ ἅψασθαὶ σου· καὶ ὅ τι διψήσεις, καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς τὰ σκεύη καὶ πίεσαι ὅθεν ἀν’ ὑδρεύωνται τὰ παιδάρια.
2:10	καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἑ ’πὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Τί ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναί με, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ξένη ;
2:11	καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βόοσ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ᾿Απαγγελίᾳ ἀπηγγέλη μοι ὅσα πεποίηκας μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς σου μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν ἄνδρα σου, καὶ πῶς κατέλιπες τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου καὶ τὴν γῆν γενέσεως σου, καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς λαὸν ὃν οὐκ ᾔδεις ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης.
2:12	ἀποτίσαι κύριος τὴν ἐργασίαν σου· γένοιτο ὁ μισθός σου πλήρης παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, πρὸς ὅν ἦλθες πεποιθέναι ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ
2:13	ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Εὔροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριε, ὅτι παρεκάλεσάς με, καὶ ὅτι ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ καρδίαν τῆς δούλης σου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὡς μία τῶν παιδισκῶν σου.
2:14	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Βόος Ἤδη ὥρα τοῦ Φαγεῖν, πρόσελθε ὧδε καὶ φάγεσαι τῶν ἄρτων, καὶ βάψεις τὸν ψωμόν σου τῷ ὄξει. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ῾Ροὺθ ἐκ πλαγίων τῶν θεριζόντων· καὶ ἐβούνισεν αὐτῇ Βόος ἄλφιτον, κα ἔφαγεν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ κατέλιπεν,
2:15	καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ συλλέγειν . καὶ ἐνετείλατο βοὸς τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων καί γε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δραγμάτων συλλεγέτω, καὶ μὴ καταισχύνητε αὐτήν·
2:16	καὶ βαστάζοντες βαστάξατε αὐτῇ, καί γε παραβάλλοντες παραβαλεῖτε ἐκ τῶν βεβουνισμένων· καὶ φάγεται καὶ συλλέξει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπ’ μήσετε αὐτῇ.
2:17	καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐράβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξεν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οἰφὶ κριθῶν.
2:18	Καὶ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ εἶδεν ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς ἁ καὶ ἐξενέγκασα ῾Ροὺθ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ἃ κατέλιπεν ἐξ ὧν ἐνεπλήσθη.
2:19	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ πενθερὰ αὐτῆς Ποῦ συνέλεξας σήμερον καὶ ποῦ ἐποίησας; εἴη ὁ ἐπιγνούς σε εὐλογημένος. καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν ῾Ροὺθ τῆ πενθερᾷ αὐτῆς ποῦ ἐποίησεν, καὶ εἶπεν Τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἀνδρὸς μεθ’ οὗ ἐποίησα σήμερον Βόος.
2:20	καὶ εἶπεν Νωεμεὶν τῇ νύμφη αὐτῆς Εὐλογητός ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνκατέλιπεν τὸ ἕλεος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ζώντων καὶ μετὰ τῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Νωεμείν ᾿Εγγίζει ἡμῖν ὁ ἀνήρ, ἐκ τῶν ἡμᾶς ἐστιν.
2:21	καὶ εἶπεν ῾Ροὺθ πρὸς τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτῆς καἰ γε ὅτι εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων μου κολλήθητι ἕως ἂν τελέσωσιν ὅλον τὸν ἀμητὸν ὃς ὑπάρχει μοι.
2:22	καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς ῾Ροὺθ τὴν νύμφην αὐτῆς ᾿Αγαθόν, θυγάτηρ, ὅτι ἑ μετά τῶν κορασίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀπαντήσονταί σοι ἐν ἀγρῷ ἑτέρῳ.
2:23	καὶ προσεκολλήθη ῾Ροὺθ τοῖς κορασίοις βοὸς συλλέγειν ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν τὸν θερισμὸν τῶν κριθῶν καὶ τῶν πυρῶν. * κοὶ ἐκάθισεν μετὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς αὐτῆς.

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.
