Τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσι κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας, τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν, μὴ προσποιούμενος.

RBT Hebrew Literal:
You tempt/test yourself
And this one they were saying, he who tests/tempts himself, so that they might hold to accuse himself. But the Salvation, he who has stooped down the Finger, was writing down into the Earth.
Casting/Laying the First Stone of the Foundation of Peace upon her, the Earth.

"To the upright one, thus He is Master has said, 'Behold myself! I lay for a foundation in Monument (Zion) a stone stone, a tried one, a precious cornerstone, a foundation foundation. The One who Trusts is not delaying." (Isaiah 28:16 RBT)

Thus is the Queen of God: if a man may cast the seed upon the Earth, and might sleep and wake up, night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of her own self the Earth brings forth fruit: [1] first a grass, [2] then the head of grain, [3] then the complete wheat within the head of grain. (Mark 4:24-28 RBT)

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And this said they, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his fingers upon the earth.
LITV Translation:
But they said this, tempting Him, that they may have reason to accuse Him. But bending down, Jesus wrote with the finger in the earth, not appearing to hear .
ESV Translation:
This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
