আদিপুস্তক 42:2
শুনলাম মিশর দেশে শস্য বিক্রি হচ্ছে| সেখানে গিয়ে আমরা শস্য কিনি| তাহলে আমরা বাঁচব| মরব না!”
| And he said, | וַיֹּ֕אמֶר | wayyōʾmer | va-YOH-mer |
| Behold, | הִנֵּ֣ה | hinnē | hee-NAY |
| I have heard | שָׁמַ֔עְתִּי | šāmaʿtî | sha-MA-tee |
| that | כִּ֥י | kî | kee |
| there is | יֶשׁ | yeš | yesh |
| corn | שֶׁ֖בֶר | šeber | SHEH-ver |
| in Egypt: | בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם | bĕmiṣrāyim | beh-meets-RA-yeem |
| down you get | רְדוּ | rĕdû | reh-DOO |
| thither, | שָׁ֙מָּה֙ | šāmmāh | SHA-MA |
| and buy | וְשִׁבְרוּ | wĕšibrû | veh-sheev-ROO |
