Leviticus 24
Commentary from 2 fathers
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:
Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,
ἔντειλαι τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ λαβέτωσάν σοι ἔλαιον ἐλάϊνον καθαρὸν κεκομμένον εἰς φῶς, καῦσαι λύχνον διὰ παντός.
заповѣ́ждь сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, да во́змꙋтъ тѝ є҆ле́й ѿ ма́сличїѧ чи́стъ и҆сцѣже́нъ въ свѣтѣ́нїе, да гори́тъ свѣти́ло всегда̀,
outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
ἔξωθεν τοῦ καταπετάσματος ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου καύσουσιν αὐτὸ ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ ἑσπέρας ἕως πρωΐ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐνδελεχῶς· νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν.
внѣ̀ завѣ́сы въ ски́нїи свидѣ́нїѧ, и҆ возжига́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ є҆го̀ а҆арѡ́нъ и҆ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ ѿ ве́чера до заꙋ́тра пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ непреста́ннѡ, зако́ннѡ вѣ́чнѡ въ ро́ды ва́шѧ:
Ye shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
ἐπὶ τῆς λυχνίας τῆς καθαρᾶς καύσετε τοὺς λύχνους ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἕως εἰς τὸ πρωΐ.
на свѣти́льницѣ чи́стѣмъ возжига́ти бꙋ́дете свѣти̑ла пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ да́же до ᲂу҆́тра.
And ye shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
καὶ ἐπιθήσετε αὐτοὺς δύο θέματα, ἓξ ἄρτους τὸ ἓν θέμα ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τὴν καθαρὰν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
и҆ возложи́те и҆̀хъ на два̀ положє́нїѧ, по шестѝ хлѣ́бѡвъ є҆ди́но положе́нїе на трапе́зѣ чи́стѣ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ:
And ye shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.
καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπὶ τὸ θέμα λίβανον καθαρὸν καὶ ἅλα, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ἄρτους εἰς ἀνάμνησιν προκείμενα τῷ Κυρίῳ.
и҆ возложи́те на є҆ди́но положе́нїе лїва́нъ чи́стъ и҆ со́ль, и҆ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ хлѣ́бы въ па́мѧть предлежа́щыѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ:
Now that clearest frankincense which is put upon the loaves designates the power of prayer, because the same teachers commit both their ministry of preaching and their labor of devotion unto the Lord. Prayer is symbolized by frankincense, as the psalmist testifies when he says, “Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense.” The clearest frankincense is put upon the loaves as a memorial of the oblation of the Lord when the pure prayer of the saints is added to their pious action and teaching, so that when each is duly joined to the other, the remembrance of the sacred oblation will always appear in the sight of the supreme Judge.
On the Tabernacle 1.7
On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων προσθήσεται ἔναντι Κυρίου διὰ παντὸς ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, διαθήκην αἰώνιον.
въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́ты да предлага́ютсѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ всегда̀ ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, завѣ́тъ вѣ́чный:
The loaves are properly commanded to be changed before the Lord every sabbath day. For surely the loaves that were set out on the table of the Lord through the six days of work are exchanged for new loaves on the sabbath when all the teachers in the holy church, once the time of their holy labor is completed, are rewarded in heaven with eternal peace and leave others behind them in the same work, laboring in the word with the hope of the same reward. And in this way it is brought to pass that the table of the Lord is never left destitute of bread, but as soon as one loaf is taken away another is put in its place, as long as the churches never lack ministers of the word who follow one another in succession. In their words and in their deeds, they always manifest the faith of apostolic piety and the purity of apostolic action, continuing as in that most beautiful verse in which it is said in praise of that same holy church: “Instead of your fathers, sons are born to you; you will make them princes over all the earth.” In other words, that is as if it were being said to the tabernacle of the Lord: “Instead of your old loaves, new ones are prepared for you; you will designate them for the refreshment of the spiritual hearts of the faithful in all the world.”
On the Tabernacle 1.7
And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
καὶ ἔσται ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ φάγονται αὐτὰ ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ· ἔστι γὰρ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων τοῦτο αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν θυσιαζομένων τῷ Κυρίῳ, νόμιμον αἰώνιον.
и҆ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ а҆арѡ́нꙋ и҆ сынѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ да снѣдѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ на мѣ́стѣ ст҃ѣ, сꙋ́ть бо ст҃а̑ѧ ст҃ы́хъ: сїѐ и҆̀мъ ѿ же́ртвъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ въ зако́нъ вѣ́чный.
And that which is added in conclusion, “And they shall be for Aaron and his sons,” contains a mystery which can be understood in two ways. For surely Aaron in company with his sons eats the holy loaves that are taken from the table of the tabernacle when our High Priest takes his elect out of this life and leads them into the increase of his body which is in heaven (that is, the whole multitude of his elect). Or perhaps the holy loaves belong to Aaron and his sons when all the leaders and the peoples who are subjected to them in the Lord are nourished unto life eternal by the examples of the fathers who have gone before.
On the Tabernacle 1.7
And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν υἱὸς γυναικὸς ᾿Ισραηλίτιδος, καὶ οὗτος ἦν υἱὸς Αἰγυπτίου ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐμαχέσαντο ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ὁ ἐκ τῆς ᾿Ισραηλίτιδος καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ᾿Ισραηλίτης·
И҆ и҆зы́де сы́нъ жены̀ і҆и҃льтѧныни, и҆ се́й бѣ̀ сы́нъ є҆гѵ́птѧнина въ сынѣ́хъ і҆и҃левыхъ: и҆ прѧ́хꙋсѧ въ полцѣ̀ и҆́же ѿ і҆и҃льтѧныни и҆ мꙋ́жъ і҆и҃льтѧнинъ:
And the son of the Israelitish woman named THE NAME and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother’s name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of Dan.
καὶ ἐπονομάσας ὁ υἱὸς τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς ᾿Ισραηλίτιδος τὸ ὄνομα κατηράσατο. καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς Μωυσῆν· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Σαλωμεὶθ θυγάτηρ Δαβρεὶ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Δάν.
и҆ наре́къ сы́нъ жены̀ і҆и҃льтѧныни и҆́мѧ (гдⷭ҇не) проклѧ̀. И҆ приведо́ша є҆го̀ къ мѡѷсе́ю. И҆́мѧ же ма́тере є҆гѡ̀ салѡмі́ѳъ, дще́рь даврі́ина, ѿ пле́мене да́нова.
And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
καὶ ἀπέθεντο αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν διακρῖναι αὐτὸν διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου.
И҆ вверго́ша є҆го̀ въ темни́цꙋ, разсꙋди́ти ѡ҆ не́мъ повелѣ́нїемъ гдⷭ҇нимъ.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:
Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
ἐξάγαγε τὸν καταρασάμενον ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἐπιθήσουσι πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ λιθοβολήσουσιν αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή.
и҆зведѝ клѧ́вшаго внѣ̀ полка̀, и҆ да возложа́тъ всѝ слы́шавшїи рꙋ́цѣ своѝ на главꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ да побїю́тъ є҆го̀ ка́менїемъ ве́сь со́нмъ:
And speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ λάλησον καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἐὰν καταράσηται Θεόν, ἁμαρτίαν λήψεται·
и҆ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ глаго́ли и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ: человѣ́къ человѣ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще проклене́тъ бг҃а своего̀, грѣ́хъ прїи́метъ:
And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
ὀνομάζων δὲ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, θανάτῳ θανατούσθω· λίθοις λιθοβολείτω αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ᾿Ισραήλ· ἐάν τε προσήλυτος, ἐάν τε αὐτόχθων, ἐν τῷ ὀνομάσαι αὐτὸν τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, τελευτάτω.
нарица́ѧй же и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ: ка́менїемъ да побїю́тъ є҆го̀ ве́сь со́нмъ і҆и҃льскїй: а҆́ще тꙋзе́мецъ, и҆лѝ пришле́цъ, є҆гда̀ нарече́тъ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, да ᲂу҆́мретъ:
And whosoever shall smite a man and he die, let him die the death.
καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἂν πατάξῃ ψυχὴν ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀποθάνῃ, θανάτῳ θανατούσθω.
и҆ человѣ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще порази́тъ всѧ́кꙋ дꙋ́шꙋ человѣ́чꙋ, и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ:
And whosoever shall smite a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
καὶ ὃς ἂν πατάξῃ κτῆνος καὶ ἀποθάνῃ, ἀποτισάτω ψυχὴν ἀντὶ ψυχῆς.
и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще ᲂу҆да́ритъ скота̀, и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ, да возда́стъ дꙋ́шꙋ вмѣ́стѡ дꙋшѝ:
And whosoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;
καὶ ἐάν τις δῷ μῶμον τῷ πλησίον, ὡς ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ, ὡσαύτως ἀντιποιηθήσεται αὐτῷ·
и҆ а҆́ще кто̀ сотвори́тъ поро́къ бли́жнемꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже сотворѝ є҆мꙋ̀, та́кожде и҆ є҆мꙋ̀ да сотворѧ́тъ:
bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
σύντριμμα ἀντὶ συντρίμματος, ὀφθαλμὸν ἀντὶ ὀφθαλμοῦ, ὀδόντα ἀντὶ ὀδόντος, καθότι ἂν δῷ μῶμον τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, οὕτω δοθήσεται αὐτῷ.
и҆зломле́нїе за и҆зломле́нїе, ѻ҆́ко за ѻ҆́ко, зꙋ́бъ за зꙋ́бъ: ꙗ҆́коже сотвори́лъ поро́къ человѣ́кꙋ, та́кожде да сотворѧ́тъ и҆ є҆мꙋ̀:
Whosoever shall smite a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
ὃς ἂν πατάξῃ ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἀποθάνῃ, θανάτῳ θανατούσθω·
и҆́же а҆́ще ᲂу҆да́ритъ человѣ́ка, и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ:
There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.
δικαίωσις μία ἔσται τῷ προσηλύτῳ καὶ τῷ ἐγχωρίῳ, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
ѡ҆правда́нїе є҆ди́но бꙋ́детъ прише́льцꙋ и҆ тꙋзе́мцꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
καὶ ἐλάλησε Μωυσῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐξήγαγον τὸν καταρασάμενον ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν ἐν λίθοις· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐποίησαν καθάπερ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
И҆ глаго́ла мѡѷсе́й къ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, и҆ и҆зведо́ша клѧ́вшаго внѣ̀ полка̀, и҆ поби́ша є҆го̀ ка́менїемъ ве́сь со́нмъ: и҆ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы сотвори́ша, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да гдⷭ҇ь мѡѷсе́ю.
And ye shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
Καὶ λήψεσθε σεμίδαλιν καὶ ποιήσετε αὐτὴν δώδεκα ἄρτους, δύο δεκάτων ἔσται ὁ ἄρτος ὁ εἷς·
И҆ во́змете мꙋкѝ пшени́чны, и҆ сотворитѐ ѿ неѧ̀ двана́десѧть хлѣ́бѡвъ: двꙋ̀ десѧти́нъ да бꙋ́детъ хлѣ́бъ є҆ди́нъ:
