Thomson—

BrentonAnd he brought out of him a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh; even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξήγαγεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἄνδρα ἐλέους, εὑρίσκοντα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάσης σαρκός· ἐγαπημένον ὑπὸ Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων Μωυσῆν, οὗ τὸ μνημόσυνον ἐν εὐλογίαις.

Thomson—

BrentonHe made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.

GreekὩμοίωσεν αὐτὸν δόξῃ ἁγίων, καὶ ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτὸν ἐν φόβοις ἐχθρῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonBy his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his glory.

GreekἘν λόγοις αὐτοῦ σημεῖα κατέπαυσεν, ἐδόξασεν αὐτὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον βασιλέων· ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ πρὸς λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonHe sanctified him in his faithfulness and meekness, and chose him out of all men.

GreekἘν πίστει καὶ πραΰτητι αὐτοῦ ἡγίασεν, ἐξελέξατο αὐτὸν ἐκ πάσης σαρκός.

Thomson—

BrentonHe made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.

GreekἨκούτισεν αὐτὸν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν γνόφον· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐντολὰς, νόμον ζωῆς καὶ ἐπιστημης, διδάξαι τὸν Ἰακὼβ διαθήκην, καὶ κρίματα αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

Thomson—

BrentonHe exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.

GreekἈαρὼν ὕψωσεν ἅγιον ὅμοιον αὐτῷ, ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐκ φυλῆς Λευΐ.

Thomson—

BrentonAn everlasting covenant he made with him, and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.

GreekἜστησεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην αἰῶνος, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἱερατείαν λαοῦ· ἐμακάρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν εὐκοσμίᾳ, καὶ περιέζωσεν αὐτὸν στολὴν δόξης.

Thomson—

BrentonHe put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.

GreekἘνέδυσεν αὐτὸν συντέλειαν καυχήματος, καὶ ἐστερέωσεν αὐτὸν σκεύεσιν ἰσχύος, περισκελῆ καὶ ποδήρη καὶ ἐπωμίδα,

Thomson—

BrentonAnd he compassed him with pomegranates and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple for a memorial to the children of his people;

Greekκαὶ ἐκύκλωσεν αὐτὸν ῥοΐσκοις χρυσοῖς, κώδωσι πλείστοις κυκλόθεν, ἠχῆσαι φωνὴν ἐν βήμασιν αὐτοῦ, ἀκουστὸν ποιῆσαι ἦχον ἐν ναῷ εἰς μνημόσυνον υἱοῖς λαοῦ αὐτοῦ,

Thomson—

Brentonwith a holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroiderer, with a breastplate of judgment, with the revealers of truth;

Greekστολῇ ἁγίᾳ, χρυσῷ, καὶ ὑακίνθῳ, καὶ πορφύρᾳ, ἔργῳ ποικιλτοῦ, λογείῳ κρίσεως, δήλοις ἀληθείας,

Thomson—

Brentonwith twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Israel.

Greekκεκλωσμένῃ κόκκῳ, ἔργῳ τεχνίτου, λίθοις πολυτελέσι γλύμματος σφραγίδος, ἐν δέσει χρυσίου, ἔργῳ λιθουργοῦ, εἰς μνημόσυνον ἐν γραφῇ κεκολαμμένῃ κατʼ ἀριθμὸν φυλῶν Ἰσραήλ·

Thomson—

BrentonHe set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraven Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.

Greekστέφανον χρυσοῦν ἐπάνω κιδάρεως, ἐκτύπωμα σφραγίδος ἁγιάσματος, καύχημα τιμῆς, ἔργον ἰσχύος, ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν κοσμούμενα ὡραῖα.

Thomson—

BrentonBefore him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's children perpetually.

GreekΠρὸ αὐτοῦ οὐ γέγονε τοιαῦτα ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐκ ἐνεδύσατο ἀλλογενὴς, πλὴν τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μόνον, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.

Thomson—

BrentonTheir sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.

GreekΘυσίαι αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαρπωθήσονται καθημέραν ἐνδελεχῶς δίς.

Thomson—

BrentonMoses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil; this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

GreekἘπλήρωσε Μωυσῆς τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἁγίῳ· ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις οὐρανοῦ, λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἅμα καὶ ἱερατεύειν, καὶ εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonHe chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.

GreekἘξελέξατο αὐτὸν ἀπὸ παντὸς ζῶντος, προσαγαγεῖν κάρπωσιν Κυρίῳ, θυμίαμα καὶ εὐωδίαν εἰς μνημόσυνον, ἐξιλάσκεσθαι περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου.

Thomson—

BrentonHe gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws.

GreekἜδωκεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ, ἐξουσίαν ἐν διαθήκαις κριμάτων, διδάξαι τὸν Ἰακὼβ τὰ μαρτύρια, καὶ ἐν νόμῳ αὐτοῦ φωτίσαι Ἰσραήλ.

Thomson—

BrentonStrangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan's and Abiron's side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.

GreekἘπισυνέστησαν αὐτῷ ἀλλότριοι, καὶ ἐζήλωσαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἄνδρες οἱ περὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρὼν, καὶ ἡ συναγωγὴ Κορὲ ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ὀργῇ.

Thomson—

BrentonThis the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.

GreekΕἶδε Κύριος καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησε, καὶ συνετελέσθησαν ἐν θυμῷ ὀργῆς· ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς τέρατα, καταναλῶσαι ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonBut he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:

GreekΚαὶ προσέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν δόξαν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κληρονομίαν· ἀπαρχὰς πρωτογενημάτων ἐμέρισεν αὐτοῖς· ἄρτον ἐν πρώτοις ἡτοίμασε πλησμονήν.

Thomson—

Brentonfor they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.

GreekΚαὶ γὰρ θυσίας Κυρίου φάγονται, ἃς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τε καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonHowbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

GreekΠλὴν ἐν γῇ λαοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσει, καὶ μερὶς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ ἐν λαῷ, αὐτὸς γὰρ μερίς σου, κληρονομία.

Thomson—

BrentonThe third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.

GreekΚαὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸς Ἐλεάζαρ τρίτος εἰς δόξαν, ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι αὐτὸν ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου, καὶ στῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τροπῇ λαοῦ, ἐν ἀγαθότητι προθυμίας ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

Thomson—

BrentonTherefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever:

GreekΔιὰ τοῦτο ἐστάθη αὐτῷ διαθήκη εἰρήνης, προστάτην ἁγίων καὶ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα αὐτῷ ᾖ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἱερωσύνης μεγαλεῖον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας·

Thomson—

Brentonaccording to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.

Greekκαὶ διαθηκήν τῷ Δαυὶδ υἱῷ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα, κληρονομία βασιλέως υἱοῦ ἐξ υἱοῦ μόνου, κληρονομία Ἀαρὼν καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonGod give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for ever.

GreekΔῴη ὑμῖν σοφίαν ἐν καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, κρίνειν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, ἵνα μὴ ἀφανισθῇ τὰ ἀγαθὰ αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.
