Joshua 4
Commentary from 7 fathers
And when the people had completely passed over Jordan, the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
ΚΑΙ ἐπεὶ συνετέλεσε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ λέγων·
И҆ є҆гда̀ сконча́ша всѝ лю́дїе преходѧ́ще і҆ѻрда́нъ, и҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ і҆исꙋ́сꙋ, гл҃ѧ:
Take men from the people, one of each tribe,
παραλαβὼν ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ, ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς,
поимѝ двана́десѧть мꙋже́й ѿ люді́й, мꙋ́жа є҆ди́наго ѿ коегѡ́ждо пле́мене,
and Joshua having called twelve men of distinction among the children of Israel, one of each tribe,
καὶ ἀνακαλεσάμενος ᾿Ιησοῦς δώδεκα ἄνδρας τῶν ἐνδόξων ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς,
И҆ призва́въ і҆исꙋ́съ двана́десѧть мꙋже́й сла́вныхъ ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, є҆ди́наго ѿ коегѡ́ждо пле́мене, речѐ и҆̀мъ:
Also, twelve stones from Jordan’s bed, Left dry when waters backward flowed, He raised and firmly set in place, The type of Christ’s apostles twelve. - "Hymns for Every Day 177.180"
said to them, Advance before me in the presence of the Lord into the midst of Jordan, and each having taken up a stone from thence, let him carry it on his shoulders, according to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel:
εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· προσαγάγετε ἔμπροσθέν μου πρὸ προσώπου Κυρίου εἰς μέσον τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, καὶ ἀνελόμενος ἐκεῖθεν ἕκαστος λίθον ἀράτω ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν δώδεκα φυλῶν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ,
и҆ди́те предо мно́ю пред̾ лице́мъ гдⷭ҇нимъ въ среди́нꙋ і҆ѻрда́на: и҆ взе́мъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ кі́йждо ка́мень є҆ди́нъ да возложи́тъ на ра́мена своѧ̑, по числꙋ̀ племе́нъ (сынѡ́въ) і҆и҃левыхъ:
5–6God ordered twelve stones to be taken from the Jordan, and specified why, for he says, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, what do these stones mean? Then you shall let your children know, Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground, for the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over,” and thus the ark was saved and all the people. Shall we not then record with images the saving passion and miracles of Christ our God, so that when my son asks me, “What is this?” I may say that God the Word became man, and that through him not only Israel passed through the Jordan, but the whole human race regained its original happiness? Through him, human nature rose from the lowest depths to the most exalted heights, and in him sat on the Father’s throne.
On Divine Images 1.18
5–6Images are of two kinds: either they are words written in a book … or else they are material images such as the twelve stones which he commanded to be taken from the Jordan for a second memorial (such a mystery, truly the greatest ever to befall the faithful people!) of the carrying of the ark and the parting of the waters. Therefore we now set up images in remembrance of valiant men, that we may zealously desire to follow their example. Either remove these images altogether, and reject the authority of him who commanded them to be made, or else accept them in the manner and with the esteem which they deserve.
On Divine Images 3.23
that these may be to you continually for an appointed sign, that when thy son asks thee in future, saying, What are these stones to us?
ἵνα ὑπάρχωσιν ὑμῖν οὗτοι εἰς σημεῖον κείμενον διαπαντός, ἵνα ὅταν ἐρωτᾷ σε ὁ υἱός σου αὔριον λέγων, τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἡμῖν;
да бꙋ́дꙋтъ ва́мъ сі́и въ зна́менїе посредѣ̀ ва́съ лежа́ще всегда̀, да є҆гда̀ вопро́ситъ тебѐ ᲂу҆́трѡ сы́нъ тво́й, глаго́лѧ: что̀ сꙋ́ть ка́менїе сїѐ ва́мъ;
then thou mayest explain to thy son, saying, The river Jordan was dried up from before the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth, when it passed it: and these stones shall be for a memorial for you for the children of Israel for ever.
καὶ σὺ δηλώσεις τῷ υἱῷ σου λέγων· ὅτι ἐξέλιπεν ὁ ᾿Ιορδάνης ποταμὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς, ὡς διέβαινεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔσονται οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ὑμῖν μνημόσυνον τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
и҆ ты̀ возвѣсти́ши сы́нꙋ твоемꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀ і҆ѻрда́нъ рѣка̀ ѿ лица̀ кївѡ́та завѣ́та гдⷭ҇а всеѧ̀ землѝ, є҆гда̀ прехожда́ше є҆го̀, и҆ и҆зсѧ́че вода̀ і҆ѻрда́нова: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ва́мъ ка́менїе сїѐ въ па́мѧть сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ да́же до вѣ́ка.
And the children of Israel did so, as the Lord commanded Joshua; and they took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, (as the Lord commanded Joshua, when the children of Israel had completely passed over,) and carried these stones with them into the camp, and laid them down there.
καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καθότι ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ, καὶ ἀναλαβόντες δώδεκα λίθους ἐκ μέσου τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, καθάπερ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τῆς διαβάσεως τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ διεκόμισαν ἅμα ἑαυτοῖς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἀπέθηκαν ἐκεῖ.
И҆ сотвори́ша та́кѡ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да гдⷭ҇ь і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: и҆ взе́мше двана́десѧть ка́меней ѿ среды̀ і҆ѻрда́на, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да гдⷭ҇ь і҆исꙋ́сꙋ въ сконча́нїи прехожде́нїѧ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆ принесо́ша и҆̀хъ съ собо́ю въ по́лкъ, и҆ положи́ша и҆̀хъ та́мѡ.
And Joshua set also other twelve stones in Jordan itself, in the place that was under the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and there they are to this day.
ἔστησε δὲ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ ἄλλους δώδεκα λίθους ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ ᾿Ιορδάνῃ ἐν τῷ γενομένῳ τόπῳ ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου, καί εἰσιν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
Поста́ви же і҆исꙋ́съ и҆ дрꙋгі̑ѧ двана́десѧть ка́меней въ са́мѣмъ і҆ѻрда́нѣ на мѣ́стѣ, и҆дѣ́же стоѧ́хꙋ но́зи жерцє́въ воздвиза́ющихъ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ сꙋ́ть та́мѡ да́же до сегѡ̀ днѐ.
And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood in Jordan, until Joshua [had] finished all that the Lord commanded him to report to the people; and the people hasted and passed over.
εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐν τῷ ᾿Ιορδάνῃ, ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν ᾿Ιησοῦς πάντα, ἃ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἔσπευσεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διέβησαν.
Стоѧ́хꙋ же жерцы̀ воздвиза́ющїи кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ во і҆ѻрда́нѣ, до́ндеже сконча̀ і҆исꙋ́съ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́да гдⷭ҇ь і҆исꙋ́сꙋ повѣ́дати лю́демъ, по всѣ̑мъ, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́да мѡѷсе́й і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: и҆ потща́шасѧ лю́дїе, и҆ преидо́ша.
It seems to me the words "the people hastened to cross" were not added idly by the Holy Spirit. For this reason, I also think that when we come to baptism for salvation and receive the sacraments of the Word of God, we should not do it idly or negligently, but we should hurriedly press on all the way until we cross over everything.For to cross over everything is to accomplish all the things that are commanded. Therefore let us hasten to cross, that is, to fulfill at the beginning, what is written: "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Then, when we have set aside all arrogance and taken up the humility of Christ, we may deserve to attain the blessed promise. Yet even when we have accomplished this, we must not stand still or loiter but cross over the other things that follow, so that "we may hunger and thirst after righteousness." We must also cross over that which follows so that in this world "we may mourn." Then we must quickly cross the remaining things so that we may be made "meek" and remain "peaceable" and thus be able to hear as "sons of God." Also we must hasten so that we may pass through the burden of persecution with the virtue of patience. Whenever we seek earnestly and swiftly—not slowly and languidly—those individual things that pertain to the glory of virtue, this, it seems to me, is "to cross over the Jordan with haste."
Homilies on Joshua 5.1
And it came to pass when all the people had passed over, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord passed over, and the stones before them.
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβῆναι, καὶ διέβη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου, καὶ οἱ λίθοι ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.
И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ сконча́ша всѝ лю́дїе преходи́ти (і҆ѻрда́нъ), пре́йде и҆ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ ка́менїе {Вмѣ́стѡ ка́менїе во и҆ны́хъ гре́ческихъ жерцы̀.} пред̾ ни́ми.
And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses commanded them.
καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ῥουβὴν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Γὰδ καὶ οἱ ἡμίσεις φυλῆς Μανασσῆ διεσκευασμένοι ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς.
И҆ преидо́ша сы́нове рꙋви̑мли и҆ сы́нове га́дѡвы и҆ по́лъ пле́мене манассі́ина ᲂу҆стрѡ́ены пред̾ сынмѝ і҆и҃лєвы, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ мѡѷсе́й:
Forty thousand armed for battle went over before the Lord to war, to the city of Jericho.
τετρακισμύριοι εὔζωνοι εἰς μάχην διέβησαν ἐναντίον Κυρίου εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς τὴν ῾Ιεριχὼ πόλιν.
четы́редесѧть ты́сѧщъ воѡрꙋже́ни на ра́ть преидо́ша пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ на бра́нь ко гра́дꙋ і҆ерїхѡ́нꙋ.
Let us learn from Paul, who explains who those "girded" ones are. Hear what he himself says: "Therefore, let your loins be girded with truth." You see, therefore, that Paul knew the girded ones, those who were encircled by the belt of truth. So truth also ought to be our belt, if we have preserved the sacrament of this army and belt. For if truth is the belt by which we are girded for the army of Christ, then whenever we speak a falsehood and a lie proceeds from our mouth, we are ungirded from the army of Christ and loosened from the belt of truth. Therefore, if we are in the truth, we are girded; but if in the false, ungirded. Instead let us imitate those "forty thousand girded men proceeding to the war in the sight of the Lord," and let us always be girded with truth.
Homilies on Joshua 5.2
To be sure, it is not enough for you in the sight of people to seem to preserve the truth. For certainly it is possible to deceive humans and to seem truthful. But in doing so you are not girded about "with truth," unless also "in the sight of the Lord" you have preserved truth, that is, not only the things people hear from your voice but also the things God examines in your heart. Let nothing false be on the tongue; let nothing counterfeit be in the heart, as the prophet says about such things, "Those who speak peace with their neighbor but have evil in their hearts." Therefore the one who wishes to be "girded in the sight of the Lord" and to proceed to capture Jericho ought to be apart from all these things, because when we cross over the Jordan River, we cross over to battles and wars.
Homilies on Joshua 5.2
In that day the Lord magnified Joshua before all the people of Israel; and they feared him, as [they did] Moses, as long as he lived.
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ηὔξησε Κύριος τὸν ᾿Ιησοῦν ἐναντίον τοῦ παντὸς γένους ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτόν, ὥσπερ Μωυσῆν, ὅσον χρόνον ἔζη.
Въ то́й де́нь возвели́чи гдⷭ҇ь і҆исꙋ́са пред̾ всѣ́мъ ро́домъ і҆и҃левымъ: и҆ боѧ́хꙋсѧ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже боѧ́хꙋсѧ мѡѷсе́а, є҆ли́ко вре́мѧ поживѐ.
Certainly, that exaltation of the son of Nun took place in order that the leader of those former people might be held eminent among those whom he ruled. But let us see how our Jesus my Lord, leader and ruler of this latter people, is “exalted” in the sight of all the descendants of the sons of Israel. I myself think that he was always exalted and elevated in the presence of the Father. But it is necessary that God exalt him in our sight. He is exalted in my sight when the sublimity and loftiness of his divinity is disclosed to me. When, therefore, is his lofty divinity revealed to me? At that time, assuredly, when I crossed over the Jordan and was equipped with the various defenses of the sacraments for the future battle.
Homilies on Joshua 5.3
Everyone who is under the law reveres Moses. But when one crosses over to the gospel from the law, by the changed observance the reverence is also changed. It is just as the apostle says, “For I through the law have died to the law so that I may live for God; I was crucified with Christ, but now I live; not I, but Christ lives in me.”
Homilies on Joshua 5.4
“In that day the Lord exalted Joshua.” The Lord exalted Joshua, for as he increased in age his strength became obvious [for all to see]. They rightly feared the son of Nun with a lawful fear as is fitting for service. And we rightly revere our Jesus with holy fear who stands by us for all eternity.
Commentary on Joshua 4.14
And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ λέγων·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко і҆исꙋ́сꙋ, гл҃ѧ:
Charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the testimony of the Lord, to go up out of Jordan.
ἔντειλαι τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς αἴρουσι τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ μαρτυρίου Κυρίου ἐκβῆναι ἐκ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου.
заповѣ́ждь жерцє́мъ, воздвиза́ющымъ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та свидѣ́нїѧ, и҆зстꙋпи́ти и҆з̾ і҆ѻрда́на.
And Joshua charged the priests, saying, Go up out of Jordan.
καὶ ἐνετείλατο ᾿Ιησοῦς τοῖς ἱερεῦσι λέγων· ἔκβητε ἐκ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου.
И҆ заповѣ́да і҆исꙋ́съ жерцє́мъ, глаго́лѧ: и҆зыди́те и҆з̾ і҆ѻрда́на.
And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were gone up out of Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, [that] the water of Jordan returned impetuously to its place, and went as before over all its banks.
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξέβησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου καὶ ἔθηκαν τοὺς πόδας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὥρμησε τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου κατὰ χώραν καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθὰ χθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν δι’ ὅλης τῆς κρηπίδος.
И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ и҆зыдо́ша жерцы̀ воздвиза́ющїи кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ ѿ среды̀ і҆ѻрда́на, и҆ поста́виша но́ги на сꙋ́сѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆стреми́сѧ вода̀ і҆ѻрда́нова на мѣ́сто и҆ по́йде ꙗ҆́коже вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ по всемꙋ̀ кра́ю.
After they had crossed over the Jordan, the waters returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before. For the mystical Jordan also increases when the full number of the faithful enters in. Accordingly, we read, “Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are ripe for the harvest,” and again, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.” But he does not simply say “harvest” but “wheat,” according to what they have in the Septuagint. For this is a symbol of nourishment.
Commentary on Joshua 4.18
And the people went up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month; and the children of Israel encamped in Galgala in the region eastward from Jericho.
καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἀνέβη ἐκ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου· καὶ κατεστρατοπέδευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Γαλγάλοις κατὰ μέρος τὸ πρὸς ἡλίου ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τῆς ῾Ιεριχώ.
И҆ лю́дїе взыдо́ша ѿ і҆ѻрда́на въ десѧ́тый де́нь пе́рвагѡ мцⷭ҇а: и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы въ галга́лѣхъ на странѣ̀, ꙗ҆́же на восто́къ со́лнца ѿ і҆ерїхѡ́на.
And when do they come to the crossing of the Jordan? For I have noted that this also has been indicated, so that even the time might be distinguished, and with good reason. “On the tenth,” it says, “of the first month.” That is also the day on which the mystery of the lamb was prefigured in Egypt. On the tenth of the first month, these things were celebrated in Egypt; on the tenth of the first month, they go into the land of promise. This seems to me exceedingly fortunate, that on the very same day in which someone has escaped the errors of the world, that person may also be worthy to enter the land of promise, that is, on this day in which we live in this age. For all our present life is designated as one day. Therefore we are instructed through that mystery not to put off our acts and works of righteousness until tomorrow but rather “today”6—that is, while we are living, while we are lingering in this world—to make haste to accomplish all things that pertain to perfection, so that on the tenth day of the first month, we shall be able to enter the land of promise, that is, the blessedness of perfection.
Homilies on Joshua 4.4
And Joshua set these twelve stones which he took out of Jordan, in Galgala,
καὶ τοὺς δώδεκα λίθους τούτους, οὓς ἔλαβεν ἐκ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, ἔστησεν ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐν Γαλγάλοις
И҆ двана́десѧть ка́мєнїѧ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же взѧ̀ ѿ і҆ѻрда́на, поста́ви і҆исꙋ́съ въ галга́лѣхъ, и҆ речѐ къ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, глаго́лѧ:
saying, When your sons ask you, saying, What are these stones?
λέγων· ὅταν ἐρωτῶσιν ὑμᾶς οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν λέγοντες· τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι;
є҆гда̀ вопро́сѧтъ ва́съ сы́нове ва́ши, глаго́люще: что̀ сꙋ́ть ка́менїе сїѐ;
Tell your sons, that Israel went over this Jordan on dry land,
ἀναγγείλατε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς διέβη ᾿Ισραὴλ τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην τοῦτον,
возвѣсти́те сынѡ́мъ ва́шымъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ по сꙋ́хꙋ пре́йде і҆и҃ль і҆ѻрда́нъ се́й,
when the Lord our God had dried up the water of Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from before us, until we passed over.
ἀποξηράναντος Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου ἐκ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, μέχρις οὗ διέβησαν· καθάπερ ἐποίησε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν, ἣν ἀπεξήρανε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν, ἕως παρήλθομεν,
и҆зсꙋши́вшꙋ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ ва́шемꙋ во́дꙋ і҆ѻрда́ню пред̾ ни́ми, до́ндеже преидо́ша, ꙗ҆́коже сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ чермно́мꙋ мо́рю, є҆́же и҆зсꙋшѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ пред̾ ва́ми, до́ндеже преидо́хомъ:
That all the nations of the earth might know, that the power of the Lord is mighty, and that ye might worship the Lord our God in every work.
ὅπως γνῶσι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἡ δύναμις τοῦ Κυρίου ἰσχυρά ἐστι, καὶ ἵνα ὑμεῖς σέβησθε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ.
да ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы земні́и, ꙗ҆́кѡ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ крѣпка̀ є҆́сть, и҆ вы̀ да чте́те гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ва́шего во всѧ́кое вре́мѧ.
and charge them; and ye shall take out of the midst of Jordan twelve fit stones, and having carried them across together with yourselves, place them in your camp, where ye shall encamp for the night.
σύνταξον αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἀνέλεσθε ἐκ μέσου ᾿Ιορδάνου ἑτοίμους δώδεκα λίθους καὶ τούτους διακομίσαντες ἅμα ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς, θέτε αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ στρατοπεδείᾳ ὑμῶν, οὗ ἐὰν παρεμβάλητε ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα.
повелѝ и҆̀мъ, глаго́лѧ: возми́те ѿ среды̀ і҆ѻрда́на, и҆дѣ́же стоѧ́ша но́зи жре́честїи, гото́выхъ двана́десѧть ка́меней, и҆ и҆зне́сше ѧ҆̀ съ собо́ю, положи́те въ полцѣ̀ ва́шемъ, и҆дѣ́же ста́нете та́мѡ въ нощѝ.
