The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Tulit autem mulier, et expandit velamen super os putei, quasi siccans ptisanas : et sic latuit res.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ ἀραφώθ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ῥῆμα.
Hebrew (WLC): וַתִּקַּ֣ח הָאִשָּׁ֗ה וַתִּפְרֹ֤שׂ אֶת הַמָּסָךְ֙ עַל פְּנֵ֣י הַבְּאֵ֔ר וַתִּשְׁטַ֥ח עָלָ֖יו הָֽרִפ֑וֹת וְלֹ֥א נוֹדַ֖ע דָּבָֽר
