Mouseia

Mouseia's complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the hieroglyphic text of Papyrus BM 10474 (185 lines in ten columns) for fidelity, quiet beauty, moral clarity, and papyrus structure.

(6.1) Do not steal from the wounded man in the street,(6.2) nor carry off the harvest of the blind.(6.3) Do not take the water-pot of the orphan(6.4) nor the blind man's ship upon the river.(6.5) Do not tear up the stake of the field(6.6) nor the boundary set by the scribe's rope.(6.7) Do not say, "My father gave me this field";(6.8) God will gather what God has given.(6.9) * Do not trespass on the widow as you walk,(6.10) nor take long steps into her field.(6.11) Do not stretch out your hand to the man(6.12) who is bent under the harvest of another.(6.13) Do not turn back the scale in the balance,(6.14) nor tip the weights of the hand-scale.(6.15) Do not deal falsely with the grain,(6.16) nor lift the bushel in the thief's way.(6.17) Do not rest your heart on the measure,(6.18) as if to make the handful into the heaped measure.(6.19) God is the one who weighs; He is the hand;(6.19) do not lean on the way of the false.
