Deuteronomy 18 · Scripture · Fisherman's Friend

1

The priests, the Levites, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; the burnt-offerings of the Lord [are] their inheritance, they shall eat them.

ΟΥΚ ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς Λευίταις, ὅλῃ φυλῇ Λευί, μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μετὰ ᾿Ισραήλ· καρπώματα Κυρίου ὁ κλῆρος αὐτῶν, φάγονται αὐτά.

Да не бꙋ́детъ жерцє́мъ леѵі́тѡмъ всемꙋ̀ пле́мени леѵі́инꙋ ча́сти нижѐ жре́бїѧ со і҆и҃лемъ: приношє́нїѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ жре́бїй и҆́хъ, да ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀:

2

And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself [is] his portion, as he said to him.

κλῆρος δὲ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν· Κύριος αὐτὸς κλῆρος αὐτοῦ, καθότι εἶπεν αὐτῷ.

жре́бїй же да не бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀ въ бра́тїи є҆гѡ̀: гдⷭ҇ь са́мъ жре́бїй є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ є҆мꙋ̀.

3

And this [is] the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and thou shalt give the shoulder to the priest, and the cheeks, and the great intestine:

καὶ αὕτη ἡ κρίσις τῶν ἱερέων, τὰ παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ, παρὰ τῶν θυόντων τὰ θύματα, ἐάν τε μόσχον ἐάν τε πρόβατον· καὶ δώσεις τὸν βραχίονα τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ τά σιαγόνια καὶ τὸ ἔνυστρον.

И҆ се́й сꙋ́дъ жерцє́въ, ꙗ҆̀же ѿ люді́й, ѿ приносѧ́щихъ жє́ртвы, а҆́ще тельца̀, а҆́ще ѻ҆́вцꙋ: и҆ да́си жерцꙋ̀ ра́мо, и҆ чє́люсти, и҆ ᲂу҆тро́бꙋ:

4

and the first-fruits of thy corn, and of thy wine, and of thine oil; and thou shalt give to him the first-fruits of the fleeces of thy sheep:

καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τοῦ σίτου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴνου σου καὶ τοῦ ἐλαίου σου καὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τῶν κουρῶν τῶν προβάτων σου δώσεις αὐτῷ·

и҆ нача́тки пшени́цы твоеѧ̀ и҆ вїна̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ є҆ле́а твоегѡ̀, и҆ нача́токъ стриже́нїѧ ѻ҆ве́цъ твои́хъ да да́си є҆мꙋ̀:

5

because the Lord has chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand before the Lord thy God, to minister and bless in his name, himself and his sons among the children of Israel.

ὅτι αὐτὸν ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐκ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν σου παρεστάναι ἔναντι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ, λειτουργεῖν καὶ εὐλογεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ.

ꙗ҆́кѡ того̀ и҆збра̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й ѿ всѣ́хъ племе́нъ твои́хъ предстоѧ́ти пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ твои́мъ, слꙋжи́ти и҆ благослови́ти во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, то́й и҆ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ во всѧ̑ дни̑.

6

And if a Levite come from one of the cities of all the children of Israel, where he himself dwells, accordingly as his mind desires, to the place which he shall have chosen,

ἐὰν δὲ παραγένηται ὁ Λευίτης ἐκ μιᾶς τῶν πόλεων ἐκ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισρήλ, οὗ αὐτὸς παροικεῖ, καθ᾿ ὅτι ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται Κύριος.

А҆́ще же прїи́детъ леѵі́тъ ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ градѡ́въ ва́шихъ, ѿ всѣ́хъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆дѣ́же то́й ѡ҆бита́етъ, ꙗ҆́коже жела́етъ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀, на мѣ́сто, є҆́же и҆збере́тъ гдⷭ҇ь,

7

he shall minister to the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites, who stand there present before the Lord thy God.

καὶ λειτουργήσει τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὥσπερ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ παρεστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου·

да слꙋ́житъ и҆́мени гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ва́шегѡ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ всѧ̑ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ леѵі́ти предстоѧ́щїи та́мѡ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ:

8

He shall eat an allotted portion, besides the sale of his hereditary property.

μερίδα μεμερισμένην φάγεται, πλὴν τῆς πράσεως τῆς κατὰ πατριάν.

ча́сть ѿдѣле́нꙋю да ꙗ҆́стъ, кромѣ̀ прода́жи ꙗ҆́же по ѻ҆те́чествꙋ.

9

And when thou shalt have entered into the land which the Lord thy God gives thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.

᾿Εὰν δὲ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου δίδωσί σοι, οὐ μαθήσῃ ποιεῖν κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐκείνων.

А҆́ще же вни́деши въ зе́млю, ю҆́же гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й дае́тъ тебѣ̀, да не навы́кнеши твори́ти по ме́рзостемъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ тѣ́хъ:

10

There shall not be found in thee one who purges his son or his daughter with fire, one who uses divination, who deals with omens, and augury,

οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν σοὶ περικαθαίρων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρί, μαντευόμενος μαντείαν, κληδονιζόμενος καὶ οἰωνιζόμενος,

да не ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ въ тебѣ̀ ѡ҆чища́ѧ сы́на своего̀ и҆ дще́рь свою̀ ѻ҆гне́мъ, волхвꙋ́ѧ волхвова́нїемъ и҆ чарꙋ́ѧй и҆ птицеволше́бствꙋѧй,

11

a sorcerer employing incantation, one who has in him a divining spirit, and observer of signs, questioning the dead.

φαρμακὸς ἐπαείδων ἐπαοιδήν, ἐγγαστρίμυθος καὶ τερατοσκόπος, ἐπερωτῶν τοὺς νεκρούς.

чародѣ́й ѡ҆бава́ѧ ѡ҆бава́нїемъ, ᲂу҆тробоволхвꙋ́ѧй и҆ знаменосмотри́тель, и҆ вопроша́ѧй ме́ртвыхъ:

12

For every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord thy God; for because of these abominations the Lord will destroy them from before thy face.

ἔστι γὰρ βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου πᾶς ποιῶν ταῦτα· ἕνεκεν γὰρ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τούτων Κύριος ἐξολοθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.

є҆́сть бо ме́рзость гдⷭ҇еви бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀ всѧ́къ творѧ́й сїѧ̑: си́хъ бо ра́ди ме́рзостей потреби́тъ ѧ҆̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й ѿ лица̀ твоегѡ̀.

13

Thou shalt be perfect before the Lord thy God.

τέλειος ἔσῃ ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου·

Соверше́нъ да бꙋ́деши пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ твои́мъ.

14

For all these nations whose [land] thou shalt inherit, they will listen to omens and divinations; but the Lord thy God has not permitted thee so [to do].

τὰ γὰρ ἔθνη ταῦτα, οὓς σὺ κατακληρονομεῖς αὐτούς, οὗτοι κληδόνων καὶ μαντειῶν ἀκούσονται, σοὶ δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἔδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου.

Ꙗ҆зы́цы бо сі́и, и҆̀хже ты̀ наслѣ́диши, сі́и чарова́нїй и҆ волхвова́нїй послꙋ́шаютъ: тебѣ́ же не та́кѡ дадѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й.

15

The Lord thy God shall raise up to thee a prophet of thy brethren, like me; him shall ye hear:

προφήτην ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου ὡς ἐμὲ ἀναστήσει σοι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε

Прⷪ҇ро́ка ѿ бра́тїи твоеѧ̀, ꙗ҆́коже менѐ, возста́витъ тебѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й, тогѡ̀ послꙋ́шайте:

Acts 7:35-38 †62

This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. [Deuteronomy 18:15] This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us

Origen of Alexandria †253

It is written in Deuteronomy, “[The Lord] your God will raise up a prophet like me for you from your brothers. You shall hear him; and it shall be that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from his people.” Therefore some prophet was specially expected who would be similar to Moses in some respect, to mediate between God and humanity, and who would receive the covenant from God and give the new covenant to those who became disciples. And the people of Israel knew so far as each of the prophets was concerned that no one of them was the [special] one announced by Moses.
Commentary on the Gospel of John 6.90

Augustine of Hippo †430

“Like me,” says Moses. This means according to the form of the flesh, not to the eminence of majesty. Therefore we find the Lord Jesus called a prophet. Accordingly that woman is no longer greatly in error when she says, “I see that you are a prophet.” She begins to call her husband, to exclude the adulterer. “I see that you are a prophet.” And she begins to ask about a thing that constantly disturbs her.
Tractate on the Gospel of John 15.23.1

16

according to all things which thou didst desire of the Lord thy God in Choreb in the day of the assembly, saying, We will not again hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and we will not any more see this great fire, and [so] we shall not die.

κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἠτήσῳ παρὰ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου ἐν Χωρὴβ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας λέγοντες· οὐ προσθήσομεν ἀκοῦσαι τὴν φωνὴν Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου καὶ τὸ πῦρ τοῦτο τὸ μέγα οὐκ ὀψόμεθα ἔτι, οὐδὲ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν.

по всемꙋ̀, є҆ли́кѡ проси́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀ въ хѡри́вѣ въ де́нь собра́нїѧ, глаго́люще: да не приложи́мъ слы́шати гла́са гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ, и҆ ѻ҆гнѧ̀ вели́кагѡ сегѡ̀ не ᲂу҆ви́димъ по се́мъ, да не и҆́змремъ.

17

And the Lord said to me, They have spoken rightly all that they have said to thee.

καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ὀρθῶς πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησαν πρὸς σέ·

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀: пра́вѡ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка глаго́лахꙋ къ тебѣ̀:

18

I will raise up to them a prophet of their brethren, like thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them as I shall command him.

προφήτην ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν, ὥσπερ σέ, καὶ δώσω τὰ ῥήματα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ λαλήσει αὐτοῖς καθ᾿ ὅτι ἂν ἐντείλωμαι αὐτῷ·

прⷪ҇ро́ка возста́влю и҆̀мъ ѿ среды̀ бра́тїи и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже тебѐ: и҆ вда́мъ сло́во моѐ во ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ возгл҃етъ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́даю є҆мꙋ̀:

19

And whatever man shall not hearken to whatsoever words that prophet shall speak in my name, I will take vengeance on him.

καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ ὅσα ἂν λαλήσῃ ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐγὼ ἐκδικήσω ἐξ αὐτοῦ.

и҆ человѣ́къ то́й, и҆́же не послꙋ́шаетъ слове́съ є҆гѡ̀, є҆ли̑ка возгл҃етъ прⷪ҇ро́къ ѻ҆́ный во и҆́мѧ моѐ, а҆́зъ ѿмщꙋ̀ ѿ негѡ̀:

20

But the prophet whosoever shall impiously speak in my name a word which I have not commanded him to speak, and whosoever shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.

πλὴν ὁ προφήτης, ὃς ἂν ἀσεβήσῃ λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ρῆμα, ὃ οὐ προσέταξα λαλῆσαι, καὶ ὃς ἂν λαλήσῃ ἐν ὀνόματι θεῶν ἑτέρων, ἀποθανεῖται ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος.

ѻ҆ба́че проро́къ, и҆́же вознече́ствꙋетъ глаго́лати во и҆́мѧ моѐ сло́во, є҆гѡ́же не повелѣ́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ глаго́лати, и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще возглаго́летъ во и҆́мѧ богѡ́въ и҆нѣ́хъ, да ᲂу҆́мретъ проро́къ то́й.

21

But if thou shalt say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?

ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου· πῶς γνωσόμεθα τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος;

А҆́ще же рече́ши въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: ка́кѡ позна́емъ сло́во, є҆гѡ́же не гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь;

22

Whatsoever words that prophet shall speak in the name of the Lord, and they shall not come true, and not come to pass, this [is] the thing which the Lord has not spoken; that prophet has spoken wickedly: ye shall not spare him.

ὅσα ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, καὶ μὴ γένηται καὶ μὴ συμβῇ, τοῦτο τὸ ρῆμα ὃ οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος· ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος, οὐκ ἐφέξεσθε αὐτοῦ.

є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще возглаго́летъ проро́къ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, и҆ не сбꙋ́детсѧ, и҆ не слꙋчи́тсѧ сло́во сїѐ, є҆гѡ́же не речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: въ нече́стїи глаго́ла проро́къ то́й, не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ є҆гѡ̀.
