Notes on this text (3)
- As in the Slavonic Bible, Esther includes the Greek additions within its ten chapters, and Daniel includes the Song of the Three Young Men (3:24–90), Susanna (chapter 13) and Bel and the Dragon (chapter 14); Psalm 151 follows Psalm 150.
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.

1 Въ лѣ́то второ́е ца́рства навꙋходоно́сорова, со́нїе ви́дѣ навꙋходоно́соръ, и҆ ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ дꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ со́нъ є҆гѡ̀ ѿстꙋпѝ ѿ негѡ̀:
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
2 и҆ речѐ ца́рь призва́ти ѡ҆баѧ́телей и҆ волхвѡ́въ, и҆ чародѣ́євъ и҆ халде́євъ, є҆́же возвѣсти́ти царю̀ со́нъ є҆гѡ̀. И҆ прїидо́ша и҆ ста́ша пред̾ царе́мъ.
2 Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be called to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
3 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ ца́рь: ви́дѣхъ со́нъ, и҆ ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ дꙋ́хъ мо́й, є҆́же ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ти со́нъ.
3 The king said to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.”
4 И҆ глаго́лаше халде́є сѵ́рски царе́ви: царю̀, во вѣ́ки живѝ: ты̀ повѣ́ждь со́нъ рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́мъ тѝ.
4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
5 Ѿвѣща́ же ца́рь халде́ѡмъ и҆ речѐ: сло́во ѿстꙋпи́ло є҆́сть ѿ менє̀: а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ не возвѣститѐ мѝ сна̀ и҆ сказа́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀, въ па́гꙋбꙋ вꙋ́дете, и҆ до́мове ва́ши разгра́бѧтсѧ:
5 The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.
6 а҆́ще же со́нъ и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣститѐ мнѣ̀, даѧ̑нїѧ и҆ да́ры и҆ че́сть мно́гꙋ прїи́мете ѿ менє̀: то́чїю со́нъ и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́те мнѣ̀.
6 But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”
7 И҆ ѿвѣща́ша второ́е и҆ рѣ́ша: ца́рь да повѣ́сть со́нъ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́мъ є҆мꙋ̀.
7 They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
8 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ца́рь и҆ речѐ: пои́стиннѣ вѣ́мъ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ вы̀ (то́чїю) и҆скꙋпꙋ́ете, поне́же ви́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿстꙋпи́ло є҆́сть сло́во ѿ менє̀:
8 The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.
9 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо сна̀ не возвѣститѐ мнѣ̀, вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сло́во ло́жно и҆ растлѣ́нно совѣща́стесѧ рещѝ предо мно́ю, до́ндеже вре́мѧ мине́тъ: со́нъ мо́й повѣ́дите мнѣ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣститѐ мнѣ̀.
9 But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”
10 Ѿвѣща́ша же па́ки халде́є пред̾ царе́мъ и҆ рѣ́ша: нѣ́сть человѣ́ка на землѝ, и҆́же сло́во царе́во возмо́жетъ возвѣсти́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́къ ца́рь вели́кїй и҆ кнѧ́зь не вопроша́етъ сицева́гѡ словесѐ ѡ҆баѧ́телѧ, волхва̀ и҆ халде́а:
10 The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean.
11 поне́же сло́во, є҆го́же вопроша́етъ ца́рь, тѧ́жко, и҆ нѣ́сть дрꙋга́гѡ, и҆́же возвѣсти́тъ є҆̀ пред̾ царе́мъ, но то́чїю бо́зи, и҆́хже нѣ́сть житїѐ со всѧ́кою пло́тїю.
11 It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
12 Тогда̀ ца́рь въ ꙗ҆́рости и҆ во гнѣ́вѣ мно́зѣ речѐ погꙋби́ти всѧ̑ мꙋ̑дрыѧ вавѷлѡ̑нскїѧ.
12 Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
13 И҆ и҆зы́де повелѣ́нїе, и҆ мꙋ́дрїи ᲂу҆бива́хꙋсѧ: и҆ взыска́ша данїи́ла и҆ дрꙋгѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆би́ти ѧ҆̀.
13 So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. They sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
14 Тогда̀ данїи́лъ ѿвѣща̀ совѣ́тъ и҆ ра́зꙋмъ а҆рїѡ́хꙋ а҆рхїмагі́рꙋ ца́рскꙋ, и҆́же и҆зы́де ᲂу҆би́ти мꙋ́дрыхъ вавѷлѡ́нскихъ,
14 Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.
15 и҆ вопроша́ше и҆̀ глаго́лѧ: кнѧ́же царе́въ, ѡ҆ чесо́мъ и҆зы́де и҆зрече́нїе безстꙋ́дное ѿ лица̀ царе́ва; Возвѣсти́ же а҆рїѡ́хъ сло́во данїи́лꙋ.
15 He answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 Данїи́лъ же вни́де и҆ молѝ царѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да вре́мѧ да́стъ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́тъ царю̀.
16 Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
17 И҆ вни́де данїи́лъ въ до́мъ сво́й и҆ возвѣстѝ сло́во а҆на́нїи и҆ а҆за́рїи и҆ мїсаи́лꙋ, дрꙋгѡ́мъ свои̑мъ:
17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 и҆ щедро́тъ проша́хꙋ ᲂу҆ бг҃а нбⷭ҇нагѡ ѡ҆та́йнѣ се́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не поги́бнꙋтъ данїи́лъ и҆ дрꙋ́зїе є҆гѡ̀ со про́чїими мꙋ́дрыми вавѷлѡ́нскими.
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions would not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Тогда̀ данїи́лꙋ во снѣ̀ но́щїю та́йна ѿкры́сѧ: и҆ благословѝ данїи́лъ бг҃а нбⷭ҇наго
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 и҆ речѐ: бꙋ́ди и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а блгⷭ҇ве́но ѿ вѣ́ка и҆ до вѣ́ка, ꙗ҆́кѡ премⷣрость и҆ смы́слъ и҆ крѣ́пость є҆гѡ̀ є҆́сть,
20 Daniel answered, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.
21 и҆ то́й премѣнѧ́етъ времена̀ и҆ лѣ̑та, поставлѧ́етъ цари̑ и҆ преставлѧ́етъ, даѧ́й премꙋ́дрость мꙋ̑дрымъ и҆ ра́зꙋмъ вѣ́дꙋщымъ смышле́нїе:
21 He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
22 то́й ѿкрыва́етъ глꙋбѡ́каѧ и҆ сокровє́ннаѧ, свѣ́дый сꙋ̑щаѧ во тьмѣ̀ и҆ свѣ́тъ съ ни́мъ є҆́сть:
22 He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
23 тебѣ̀, бж҃е ѻ҆тцє́въ мои́хъ, и҆сповѣ́даюсѧ и҆ хвалю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ премꙋ́дрость и҆ си́лꙋ да́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ и҆ возвѣсти́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆̀же проси́хомъ ᲂу҆ тебє̀, и҆ видѣ́нїе царе́во возвѣсти́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ.
23 I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”
24 И҆ прїи́де данїи́лъ ко а҆рїѡ́хꙋ є҆го́же приста́ви ца́рь погꙋби́ти мꙋ̑дрыѧ вавѷлѡ́нскїѧ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: мꙋ́дрыхъ вавѷлѡ́нскихъ не погꙋблѧ́й, но введи́ мѧ пред̾ царѧ̀, и҆ сказа́нїе сна̀ возвѣщꙋ̀ є҆мꙋ̀.
24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”
25 Тогда̀ а҆рїѡ́хъ съ потща́нїемъ введѐ данїи́ла пред̾ царѧ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ѡ҆брѣто́хъ мꙋ́жа ѿ плѣ̑нникъ жидо́вскихъ, и҆́же сказа́нїе царю̀ возвѣсти́тъ.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”
26 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ца́рь и҆ речѐ данїи́лꙋ, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ валтаса́ръ: мо́жеши ли мѝ возвѣсти́ти со́нъ, є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀;
26 The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”
27 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ данїи́лъ пред̾ царе́мъ и҆ речѐ: та́йны, є҆ѧ́же ца́рь вопроша́етъ, нѣ́сть мꙋ́дрыхъ, волхвѡ́въ, нижѐ ѡ҆баѧ́телей газари́нѡвъ (си́ла) возвѣсти́ти царю̀:
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;
28 но є҆́сть бг҃ъ на нб҃сѝ ѿкрыва́ѧй та̑йны и҆ возвѣстѝ царю̀ навꙋходоно́сорꙋ, и҆̀мже подоба́етъ бы́ти въ послѣ̑днїѧ дни̑. Со́нъ тво́й и҆ видѣ́нїе главы̀ твоеѧ̀ на ло́жи твое́мъ сїѐ є҆́сть, царю̀:
28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
29 помышлє́нїѧ твоѧ̑ на ло́жи твое́мъ взыдо́ша, чесомꙋ̀ подоба́етъ бы́ти по си́хъ, и҆ ѿкрыва́ѧй та̑йны ꙗ҆вѝ тебѣ̀, и҆̀мже подоба́етъ бы́ти:
29 “As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.
30 и҆ мнѣ̀ не премꙋ́дростїю сꙋ́щею во мнѣ̀ па́че всѣ́хъ живꙋ́щихъ та́йна сїѧ̀ ѿкры́сѧ, но ра́ди тогѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да возвѣщꙋ̀ сказа́нїе царю̀, да ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́еши размышлє́нїѧ се́рдца твоегѡ̀.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
31 Ты̀, царю̀ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ: и҆ сѐ, тѣ́ло є҆ди́но, ве́лїе тѣ́ло ѻ҆́но, и҆ ѡ҆бли́чїе є҆гѡ̀ высоко̀, стоѧ́що пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆ ѡ҆́бразъ є҆гѡ̀ стра́шенъ:
31 “You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.
32 тѣ́ло, є҆гѡ́же глава̀ ѿ зла́та чи́ста, рꙋ́цѣ и҆ пє́рси и҆ мы̑шцы є҆гѡ̀ срє́брѧны, чре́во и҆ сте́гна мѣ̑дѧна,
32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
33 го́лєни желѣ̑зны, но́зѣ, ча́сть ᲂу҆́бѡ нѣ́каѧ желѣ́зна и҆ ча́сть нѣ́каѧ скꙋде́льна:
33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, до́ндеже ѿто́ржесѧ ка́мень ѿ горы̀ без̾ рꙋ́къ, и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри тѣ́ло въ но́зѣ желѣ̑зны и҆ скꙋдє́льны, и҆ и҆стнѝ и҆̀хъ до конца̀:
34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
35 тогда̀ сотро́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ скꙋде́ль, желѣ́зо, мѣ́дь, сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, и҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́хъ ѿ гꙋмна̀ лѣ́тнѧ: и҆ взѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ премно́гїй вѣ́тръ, и҆ мѣ́сто не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ и҆̀мъ: ка́мень же порази́вый тѣ́ло бы́сть гора̀ вели́ка и҆ напо́лни всю̀ зе́млю.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 Се́й є҆́сть со́нъ, а҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ рече́мъ пред̾ царе́мъ.
36 “This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.
37 Ты̀, царю̀, ца́рь царе́й, є҆мꙋ́же бг҃ъ нбⷭ҇ный ца́рство дадѐ крѣ́пко и҆ держа́вно и҆ че́стно:
37 You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.
38 во всѧ́цѣмъ мѣ́стѣ, и҆дѣ́же живꙋ́тъ сы́нове человѣ̑чи и҆ ѕвѣ́рїе по́льстїи, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ и҆ ры̑бы морскі̑ѧ да́лъ є҆́сть въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ и҆ поста́вилъ тѧ̀ властели́на всѣ̑мъ: ты̀ є҆сѝ глава̀ злата́ѧ.
38 Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the head of gold.
39 И҆ послѣдѝ тебє̀ воста́нетъ ца́рство дрꙋго́е ме́ньшее тебє̀, є҆́же є҆́сть сребро̀, ца́рство же тре́тїе, є҆́же є҆́сть мѣ́дь, є҆́же соѡдолѣ́етъ все́й землѝ,
39 “After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.
40 и҆ ца́рство четве́ртое, є҆́же бꙋ́детъ крѣ́пко а҆́ки желѣ́зо: ꙗ҆́коже желѣ́зо стончева́етъ и҆ ᲂу҆мѧгча́етъ всѧ̑, та́кожде и҆ то̀ и҆стончи́тъ и҆ и҆стни́тъ всѧ̑.
40 The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.
41 А҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ но́зѣ и҆ пе́рсты, ча́сть ᲂу҆́бѡ нѣ́кꙋю желѣ́знꙋ, ча́сть же нѣ́кꙋю гли́нѧнꙋ, ца́рство раздѣле́но бꙋ́детъ, и҆ ѿ ко́рене желѣ́зна бꙋ́детъ въ не́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ желѣ́зо смѣ́шено съ гли́ною:
41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 и҆ пе́рсты ножні́и, ча́сть ᲂу҆́бѡ нѣ́каѧ желѣ́зна, ча́сть же нѣ́каѧ гли́нѧна, ча́сть нѣ́каѧ ца́рства бꙋ́детъ крѣпка̀ и҆ ѿ негѡ̀ бꙋ́детъ сокрꙋше́на.
42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
43 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ желѣ́зо смѣ́шено со гли́ною, смѣ́шєны бꙋ́дꙋтъ во пле́мени человѣ́чи, и҆ не бꙋ́дꙋтъ прилѣплѧ́ющесѧ се́й къ семꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́коже желѣ́зо не смѣша́етсѧ со гли́ною.
43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won’t cling to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
44 И҆ во дне́хъ царе́й тѣ́хъ возста́витъ бг҃ъ нбⷭ҇ный ца́рство, є҆́же во вѣ́ки не разсы́плетсѧ, и҆ ца́рство є҆гѡ̀ лю́демъ и҆нѣ̑мъ не ѡ҆ста́нетсѧ, и҆стни́тъ и҆ развѣ́етъ всѧ̑ ца̑рства, то́е же ста́нетъ во вѣ́ки,
44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
45 ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿсѣче́сѧ ѿ горы̀ ка́мень без̾ рꙋ́къ и҆ и҆стнѝ гли́нꙋ, желѣ́зо, мѣ́дь, сребро̀, зла́то. Бг҃ъ вели́кїй возвѣстѝ царю̀, и҆̀мже подоба́етъ бы́ти по си́хъ: и҆ и҆́стиненъ со́нъ, и҆ вѣ́рно сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀.
45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
46 Тогда̀ ца́рь навꙋходоно́соръ падѐ на лицѐ и҆ поклони́сѧ данїи́лꙋ, и҆ речѐ да́ры и҆ благовѡ́нїѧ возлїѧ́ти є҆мꙋ̀.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him.
47 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ ца́рь речѐ данїи́лꙋ: пои́стиннѣ бг҃ъ ва́шъ то́й є҆́сть бг҃ъ богѡ́въ и҆ гдⷭ҇ь господе́й и҆ цр҃ь царе́й, ѿкрыва́ѧй та̑йны, поне́же возмо́глъ є҆сѝ ѿкры́ти та́йнꙋ сїю̀.
47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
48 И҆ возвели́чи ца́рь данїи́ла, и҆ да́ры вели̑ки и҆ мнѡ́ги дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ над̾ все́ю страно́ю вавѷлѡ́нскою и҆ кнѧ́зѧ воево́дамъ, над̾ всѣ́ми мꙋ́дрыми вавѷлѡ́нскими.
48 Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 И҆ данїи́лъ просѝ ᲂу҆ царѧ̀ и҆ приста́ви над̾ дѣ́лы страны̀ вавѷлѡ́нскїѧ седра́ха, мїса́ха и҆ а҆вденагѡ̀. Данїи́лъ же бѧ́ше во дворѣ̀ царе́вѣ.
49 Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the king’s gate.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Then afterwards, when interpreting this, he says: "And as thou sawest the feet and the …
The Stone which was "cut out of the Mountain without hands," is it not Christ, who came of the kingdom of the Jews, without the work of man? Has not that Stone broken in pieces all the kingdoms of the earth, that is, all the dominations of idols and demons?
