Exodus 30
Commentary from 3 fathers
And thou shalt make the altar of incense of incorruptible wood.
ΚΑΙ ποιήσεις θυσιαστήριον θυμιάματος ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων·
И҆ да сотвори́ши ѻ҆лта́рь кади́льный ѿ дре́въ негнїю́щихъ:
And thou shalt make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth: it shall be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns shall be of the same piece.
καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὸ πήχεως τὸ μῆκος καὶ πήχεως τὸ εὖρος, τετράγωνον ἔσται, καὶ δύο πήχεων τὸ ὕψος· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσται τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ.
и҆ сотвори́ши и҆̀ ла́ктѧ въ долготꙋ̀ и҆ ла́ктѧ въ широтꙋ̀, четвероꙋго́ленъ да бꙋ́детъ, и҆ двою̀ ла́ктїй въ высотꙋ̀: ѿ негѡ̀ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ ро́ги є҆гѡ̀.
And thou shalt gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make for it a wreathen border of gold round-about.
καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτὰ χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ, τὴν ἐσχάραν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς τοίχους αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ στρεπτὴν στεφάνην χρυσῆν κύκλῳ.
И҆ позлати́ши зла́томъ чи́стымъ ѻ҆гни́ще є҆гѡ̀, и҆ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆́колѡ, и҆ ро́ги є҆гѡ̀: и҆ да сотвори́ши є҆мꙋ̀ виты́й вѣне́цъ зла́тъ ѡ҆́колѡ.
And thou shalt make under its wreathen border two rings of pure gold; thou shalt make it to the two corners on the two sides, and they shall be bearings for the staves, so as to bear it with them.
καὶ δύο δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς καθαροὺς ποιήσεις ὑπὸ τὴν στρεπτὴν στεφάνην αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὰ δύο κλίτη ποιήσεις ἐν τοῖς δυσὶ πλευροῖς· καὶ ἔσονται ψαλίδες ταῖς σκυτάλαις, ὥστε αἴρειν αὐτὸ ἐν αὐταῖς.
И҆ два̀ кѡльца̀ зла̑та чи̑ста да сотвори́ши под̾ виты́мъ вѣнце́мъ є҆гѡ̀ на ѻ҆бою̀ ᲂу҆́глꙋ, да сотвори́ши на ѻ҆бои́хъ страна́хъ: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ко́льца носи́ламъ, ꙗ҆́коже под̾има́ти ѻ҆́ный и҆́ми.
And thou shalt make the staves of incorruptible wood, and shalt gild them with gold.
καὶ ποιήσεις σκυτάλας ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτὰς χρυσίῳ.
И҆ да сотвори́ши нѡси́ла ѿ древе́съ негнїю́щихъ, и҆ позлати́ши ѧ҆̀ зла́томъ:
And Aaron shall burn upon it fine compound incense every morning; whensoever he trims the lamps he shall burn incense upon it.
καὶ θυμιάσει ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ααρὼν θυμίαμα σύνθετον λεπτόν· τὸ πρωΐ πρωΐ, ὅταν ἐπισκευάζῃ τοὺς λύχνους, θυμιάσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ,
И҆ да кади́тъ над̾ ни́мъ а҆арѡ́нъ ѳѷмїа́момъ сложе́нымъ благово́ннымъ ра́нѡ ра́нѡ: є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆строѧ́етъ свѣти̑ла, да кади́тъ над̾ ни́мъ:
In the third book there is also a discussion of how the high priest begot sons, since he had the obligation to enter the Holy of Holies twice a day where the altar of incense was, to offer incense morning and evening. Into [this], as the law states, he could not enter while unclean, and the law says that a man is even made unclean as a result of conjugal coition, and indeed it orders him to be washed with water, but it states also that he, although washed, “is unclean until evening.” Hence I said, “It follows logically that he either be continent or that, on some days, the offering of incense be interrupted.” I did not realize that this is not a logical consequence. For what is written, “he will be unclean until evening,” can be understood to mean that he was no longer unclean during the evening itself but up to the evening, so that, cleansed, he could offer incense during the evening even though, after morning offering of incense, he had had conjugal relations with his wife for the procreation of children.
Reconsiderations 81.2
And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their generations.
καὶ ὅταν ἐξάπτῃ ᾿Ααρὼν τοὺς λύχνους ὀψέ, θυμιάσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ· θυμίαμα ἐνδελεχισμοῦ διὰ παντὸς ἔναντι Κυρίου εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.
и҆ є҆гда̀ вжига́етъ а҆арѡ́нъ свѣти̑ла съ ве́чера, да кади́тъ над̾ ни́мъ: ѳѷмїа́мъ всегда́шнїй прⷭ҇нѡ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ:
And thou shalt not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] an offering made by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and thou shalt not pour a drink-offering upon it.
καὶ οὐκ ἀνοίσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ θυμίαμα ἕτερον, κάρπωμα, θυσίαν· καὶ σπονδὴν οὐ σπείσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
и҆ да не принесе́ши над̾ него̀ ѳѷмїа́ма и҆на́гѡ: приноше́нїѧ, же́ртвы и҆ возлїѧ́нїѧ да не пролїе́ши на него̀.
And once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is most holy to the Lord.
καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ααρὼν ἐπὶ τῶν κεράτων αὐτοῦ ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ· ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸ εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων ἐστὶ Κυρίῳ.
И҆ да ѡ҆чи́ститъ над̾ ни́мъ а҆арѡ́нъ ᲂу҆ рогѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ є҆ди́ною въ лѣ́то: ѿ кро́ве ѡ҆чище́нїѧ грѣхѡ́въ ᲂу҆милостивле́нїѧ є҆ди́ною въ лѣ́то да ѡ҆чи́ститъ є҆го̀ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ: ст҃о́е ст҃ы́хъ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
Therefore, if I should consider how the true “high priest,” my Lord Jesus Christ, having indeed been placed in the flesh, was with the people all year, that year about which he himself says, “He sent me to proclaim good news to the poor and to announce the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of forgiveness,” I perceive how “once” in this “year” on the Day of Atonement he enters into “the Holy of Holies.” That is, when with his dispensation fulfilled “he penetrates the heavens” and goes to the Father to make atonement for the human race and prays for all those who believe in him. Knowing this atonement by which he propitiates the Father for humans, the apostle John says, “I say this, little children, that we may not sin. But if we should sin, we have an advocate before the Father, Jesus Christ the just; and he himself is the propitiation for our sins.” But Paul also in a similar way mentions this atonement when he says concerning Christ, “Whom God appointed as a propitiator by his blood through faith.” Therefore the Day of Atonement remains for us until the sun sets; that is, until the world comes to an end.
Homilies on Leviticus 9:8-9
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:
If thou take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of them, and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of them.
ἐὰν λάβῃς τὸν συλλογισμὸν τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ δώσουσιν ἕκαστος λύτρα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτοῖς πτῶσις ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτῶν.
а҆́ще во́змеши и҆счисле́нїе сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ въ пресмотре́нїи и҆́хъ, и҆ дадѧ́тъ кі́йждо и҆скꙋпле́нїе за дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ въ ни́хъ паде́нїѧ въ пресмотре́нїи и҆́хъ.
And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty oboli [go to] the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the offering to the Lord.
καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃ δώσουσιν ὅσοι ἂν παραπορεύωνται τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν· τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ διδράχμου, ὅ ἐστιν κατὰ τὸ δίδραχμον τὸ ἅγιον· εἴκοσιν ὀβολοὶ τὸ δίδραχμον, τὸ δὲ ἥμισυ τοῦ διδράχμου εἰσφορὰ Κυρίῳ.
И҆ сїѐ є҆́сть, є҆́же дадѧ́тъ, є҆ли́цы а҆́ще пристꙋ́пѧтъ въ пресмотре́нїе, полдїдра́хмы, є҆́же є҆́сть по дїдра́хмѣ ст҃ѣ́й: два́десѧть ца́тъ дїдра́хма: по́лъ же дїдра́хмы, да́нь гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
Every one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards shall give the offering to the Lord.
πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος εἰς τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, δώσουσι τὴν εἰσφορὰν Κυρίῳ.
Всѧ́къ входѧ́й въ пресмотре́нїе ѿ два́десѧти лѣ́тъ и҆ вы́шше, да дадꙋ́тъ да́нь гдⷭ҇ꙋ:
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than the half didrachm in giving the offering to the Lord, to make atonement for your souls.
ὁ πλουτῶν οὐ προσθήσει καὶ ὁ πενόμενος οὐκ ἐλαττονήσει ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ διδράχμου ἐν τῷ διδόναι τὴν εἰσφορὰν Κυρίῳ ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν.
бога́тый да не приложи́тъ, и҆ ни́щїй да не ᲂу҆ма́литъ ѿ полꙋдїдра́хмы, є҆гда̀ даю́тъ да́нь гдⷭ҇ꙋ (ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ), є҆́же ᲂу҆молѧ́ти ѡ҆ дꙋша́хъ ва́шихъ.
And thou shalt take the money of the offering from the children of Israel, and shalt give it for the service of the tabernacle of testimony; and it shall be to the children of Israel a memorial before the Lord, to make atonement for your souls.
καὶ λήψῃ τὸ ἀργύριον τῆς εἰσφορᾶς παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ δώσεις αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ κάτεργον τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ ἔσται τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ μνημόσυνον ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν.
И҆ да во́змеши сребро̀ да́ни ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆ да́си є҆̀ на содѣ́ланїе ски́нїи свидѣ́нїѧ: и҆ да бꙋ́детъ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ па́мѧть пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, є҆́же ᲂу҆молѧ́ти ѡ҆ дꙋша́хъ ва́шихъ.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:
Make a brazen laver, and a brazen base for it, for washing; and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and thou shalt pour forth water into it.
ποίησον λουτῆρα χαλκοῦν καὶ βάσιν αὐτῷ χαλκῆν, ὥστε νίπτεσθαι· καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸν ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐκχεεῖς εἰς αὐτὸν ὕδωρ,
сотворѝ ᲂу҆мыва́льницꙋ мѣ́дѧнꙋ и҆ стоѧ́ло є҆́й мѣ́дѧно, є҆́же ᲂу҆мыва́тисѧ, и҆ да поста́виши ю҆̀ междꙋ̀ ски́нїею свидѣ́нїѧ и҆ междꙋ̀ ѻ҆лтаре́мъ, и҆ да влїе́ши въ ню̀ во́дꙋ:
In the first instance, we can understand this basin (or flanged bowl, as it is called further on) to be the water of baptism, in which all those who enter the doors of the church must bathe in order to be cleansed. It was put between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar of the holocaust, and the priests were commanded to wash themselves in it twice a day (that is, morning and evening) when they were going to the altar of incense to offer to the Lord. We, however, are not supposed to be washed in the water of baptism more than once; consequently the basin commends to us that washing of compunction and of tears which is required of us at all times, and especially when we draw near to minister at the heavenly mysteries.
On the Tabernacle 3.14, AT EXODUS 3:18-20
And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water from it.
καὶ νίψεται ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας ὕδατι.
и҆ да ᲂу҆мыва́етъ а҆арѡ́нъ и҆ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ и҆з̾ неѧ̀ рꙋ́ки своѧ̑ и҆ но́ги водо́ю:
Whensoever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness, they shall wash themselves with water, so they shall not die, whensoever they advance to the altar to do service and to offer the whole burnt-offerings to the Lord.
ὅταν εἰσπορεύωνται εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, νίψονται ὕδατι καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνωσιν· ἢ ὅταν προσπορεύωνται πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον λειτουργεῖν κα’Ι ἀναφέρειν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ,
є҆гда̀ вхо́дѧтъ въ ски́нїю свидѣ́нїѧ, да ѡ҆мы́ютсѧ водо́ю, и҆ не ᲂу҆́мрꙋтъ: и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ прихо́дѧтъ ко ѻ҆лтарю̀ слꙋжи́ти и҆ приноси́ти всесожжє́нїѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ,
They shall wash their hands and feet with water, whensoever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness; they shall wash themselves with water, that they die not; and it shall be for them a perpetual statute, for him and his posterity after him.
νίψονται τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας ὕδατι· ὅταν εἰσπορεύωνται εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, νίψονται ὕδατι, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνωσι· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς νόμιμον αἰώνιον, αὐτῷ καὶ ταῖς γενεαῖς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτόν.
ᲂу҆мы́ютъ рꙋ́цѣ и҆ но́зѣ водо́ю, є҆гда̀ вхо́дѧтъ въ ски́нїю свидѣ́нїѧ, да не ᲂу҆́мрꙋтъ, и҆ да бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ зако́ннѡ вѣ́чнѡ, є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ родѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀ по не́мъ.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:
Do thou also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling calamus,
καὶ σὺ λάβε ἡδύσματα, τὸ ἄνθος σμύρνης ἐκλεκτῆς πεντακοσίους σίκλους καὶ κινναμώμου εὐώδους τὸ ἥμισυ τούτου διακοσίους πεντήκοντα καὶ καλάμου εὐώδους διακοσίους πεντήκοντα
и҆ ты̀ возмѝ а҆рѡма́ты, цвѣ́тъ смѵ́рны и҆збра́нныѧ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ сі́клєвъ, и҆ кїннамѡ́ма благово́нна по́лъ сегѡ̀, двѣ́сти пѧтьдесѧ́тъ, и҆ тро́сти благово́нныѧ двѣ́сти пѧтьдесѧ́тъ,
and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
καὶ ἴρεως πεντακοσίους σίκλους τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ ἔλαιον ἐξ ἐλαιῶν εἲν
и҆ касі́и пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ сі́клєвъ свѧта́гѡ, и҆ є҆ле́а ѿ ма́слинъ (мѣ́рꙋ) і҆́нъ,
And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered] by the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὸ ἔλαιον χρῖσμα ἅγιον, μύρον μυρεψικὸν τέχνῃ μυρεψοῦ· ἔλαιον χρῖσμα ἅγιον ἔσται.
и҆ сотвори́ши се́й є҆ле́й пома́занїе ст҃о́е, мѵ́ро пома́зательное хꙋдо́жествомъ мѷрова́рца: є҆ле́й пома́занїе ст҃о́е бꙋ́детъ,
And thou shalt anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the tabernacle of witness,
καὶ χρίσεις ἐξ αὐτοῦ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου
и҆ да пома́жеши ѿ негѡ̀ ски́нїю свидѣ́нїѧ, и҆ кївѡ́тъ ски́нїи свидѣ́нїѧ,
and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the altar of incense,
καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ θυμιάματος
и҆ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды є҆ѧ̀, и҆ свѣти́льникъ и҆ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѻ҆лта́рь кади́льный,
and the altar of whole burnt-offerings and all its furniture, and the table and all its furniture, and the laver.
καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ πάντα αὐτοῦ τὰ σκεύη καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν λουτῆρα καὶ τὴν βάσιν αὐτοῦ
и҆ ѻ҆лта́рь всесожже́нїѧ и҆ всѧ̑ є҆гѡ̀ сосꙋ́ды, и҆ трапе́зꙋ и҆ всѧ̑ є҆ѧ̀ сосꙋ́ды, и҆ ᲂу҆мыва́льницꙋ и҆ стоѧ́ло є҆ѧ̀,
And thou shalt sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: every one that touches them shall be hallowed.
καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτά, καὶ ἔσται ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῶν ἁγιασθήσεται.
и҆ ѡ҆свѧти́ши ѧ҆̀, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ст҃а̑ѧ ст҃ы́хъ: всѧ́къ прикаса́ѧйсѧ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ст҃и́тсѧ:
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them that they may minister to me as priests.
καὶ ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ χρίσεις καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτοὺς ἱερατεύειν μοι.
и҆ а҆арѡ́на и҆ сы́ны є҆гѡ̀ пома́жеши, и҆ ѡ҆свѧти́ши ѧ҆̀ свѧщеннодѣ́йствовати мнѣ̀:
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be to you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations.
καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ λαλήσεις λέγων· ἔλαιον ἄλειμμα χρίσεως ἅγιον ἔσται τοῦτο ὑμῖν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν.
и҆ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ да рече́ши, глаго́лѧ: є҆ле́й ма́сть пома́занїѧ ст҃ъ да бꙋ́детъ се́й ва́мъ въ ро́ды ва́шѧ:
On man’s flesh it shall not be poured, and ye shall not make [any] for yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be holiness to you.
ἐπὶ σάρκα ἀνθρώπου οὐ χρισθήσεται, καὶ κατὰ τὴν σύνθεσιν ταύτην οὐ ποιήσετε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς ὡσαύτως· ἅγιόν ἐστι καὶ ἁγίασμα ἔσται ὑμῖν.
пло́ть человѣ́ча да не пома́жетсѧ (и҆́мъ), и҆ по сложе́нїю семꙋ̀ да не сотворитѐ са́ми себѣ̀ и҆но́гѡ си́це: ст҃ъ є҆́сть и҆ ѡ҆сщ҃е́нїе бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ:
Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whosoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people.
ὃς ἂν ποιήσῃ ὡσαύτως, καὶ ὃς ἂν δῷ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἀλλογενεῖ, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
и҆́же а҆́ще сотвори́тъ си́це, и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще да́стъ ѿ негѡ̀ и҆ноплеме́нникꙋ, потреби́тсѧ ѿ люді́й свои́хъ.
And the Lord said to Moses, Take for thyself sweet herbs, stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be and equal weight of each.
καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· λάβε σεαυτῷ ἡδύσματα, στακτήν, ὄνυχα, χαλβάνην ἡδυσμοῦ καὶ λίβανον διαφανῆ, ἴσον ἴσῳ ἔσται·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: возмѝ себѣ̀ а҆рѡма́ты, ста́кти, ѻ҆́нѷха и҆ халва́на благово́нна и҆ лїва́на чи́стагѡ: всѐ то̀ въ ра́внꙋ мѣ́рꙋ да бꙋ́детъ:
“You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition.” Later in this book the spices from which this incense was to be composed are specified by name: stacte, and onycha, galbanum of pleasing fragrance, and the purest frankincense. It is obvious that all of these signify the eternal goods which we ought to seek from the Lord before anything else. Consequently upon the altar of gold they were not supposed to offer incense of any composition other than that which the Lord had decreed, because when we pray we ought to seek from the Lord nothing other than that which he himself has commanded and has promised to give us. And we ought to believe nothing concerning him other than that which he himself has taught.
On the Tabernacle 3.12, AT EXODUS 30:9
And they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the art of a perfumer, a pure holy work.
καὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῷ θυμίαμα, μυρεψικὸν ἔργον μυρεψοῦ, μεμιγμένον, καθαρόν, ἔργον ἅγιον.
и҆ да сотворѧ́тъ въ не́мъ ѳѷмїа́мъ мѷрова́рный, дѣ́ло мѷрова́рца смѣ́шеное, чи́сто, дѣ́ло ст҃о:
And of these thou shalt beat some small, and thou shalt put it before the testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, whence I will make myself known to thee: it shall be to you a most holy incense.
καὶ συγκόψεις ἐκ τούτων λεπτὸν καὶ θήσεις ἀπέναντι τῶν μαρτυρίων ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου, ὅθεν γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἐκεῖθεν· ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων ἔσται ὑμῖν.
и҆ раздроби́ши ѿ си́хъ по то́нкꙋ, и҆ положи́ши прѧ́мѡ свидѣ́нїю въ ски́нїи свидѣ́нїѧ, ѿѻнꙋ́дꙋже позна́нъ бꙋ́дꙋ тебѣ̀ та́мѡ: ст҃о́е ст҃ы́хъ бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ ѳѷмїа́мъ:
Ye shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord.
θυμίαμα κατὰ τὴν σύνθεσιν ταύτην οὐ ποιήσετε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς· ἁγίασμα ἔσται ὑμῖν Κυρίῳ·
по сложе́нїю семꙋ̀ да не сотворитѐ себѣ̀ са́ми, ѡ҆сщ҃е́нїе бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а:
Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall perish from his people.
ὃς ἂν ποιήσῃ ὡσαύτως ὥστε ὀσφραίνεσθαι ἐν αὐτῷ, ἀπολεῖται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
и҆́же а҆́ще сотвори́тъ си́це, є҆́же ѡ҆бонѧ́ти ѿ негѡ̀, поги́бнетъ дꙋша̀ тогѡ̀ ѿ люді́й свои́хъ.
And thou shalt set it before the veil that is over the ark of the testimonies, wherein I will make myself known to thee from thence.
καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ ἀπέναντι τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦ ὄντος ἐπὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῶν μαρτυρίων, ἐν οἶς γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἐκεῖθεν.
и҆ да положи́ши є҆го̀ прѧ́мѡ завѣ́сы, сꙋ́щїѧ ᲂу҆ кївѡ́та свидѣ́нїѧ, въ ни́хже позна́нъ бꙋ́дꙋ тебѣ̀ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.
