וְלָרָשׁ   אֵין   כֹּל   כִּי   אִם   כִּבְשָׂה   אַחַת   קְטַנָּה   אֲשֶׁר   קָנָה   וַיְחַיֶּהָ   וַתִּגְדַּל   עִמּוֹ   וְעִם   בָּנָיו   יַחְדָּו   מִפִּתּוֹ   תֹאכַל   וּמִכֹּסוֹ   תִשְׁתֶּה   וּבְחֵיקוֹ   תִשְׁכָּב   וַתְּהִי   לוֹ   כְּבַת  

Greek Septuagint (LXX), Read from left to right

καὶ τῷ πένητι οὐδὲν ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἀμνὰς μία μικρά ἣν ἐκτήσατο καὶ περιεποιήσατο καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτήν καὶ ἡδρύνθη μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου αὐτοῦ ἤσθιεν καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου αὐτοῦ ἔπινεν καὶ ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐκάθευδεν καὶ ἦν αὐτῷ ὡς θυγάτηρ
