Notes on this text (3)
- 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.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Сѣ́нь бо и҆мы́й зако́нъ грѧдꙋ́щихъ бла̑гъ, (а҆) не са́мый ѡ҆́бразъ веще́й, на всѧ́кое лѣ́то тѣ́миже же́ртвами, и҆̀хже прино́сѧтъ вы́нꙋ, никогда́же мо́жетъ пристꙋпа́ющихъ соверши́ти.
1 PORQUE la ley, teniendo la sombra de los bienes venideros, no la imagen misma de las cosas, nunca puede, por los mismos sacrificios que ofrecen continuamente cada año, hacer perfectos á los que se allegan.
1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
2 Поне́же преста́ли бы бы́ти приноси̑мы, ни є҆ди́нꙋ ктомꙋ̀ и҆мꙋ́щымъ со́вѣсть ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ слꙋжа́щымъ, є҆ди́ною ѡ҆чищє́ннымъ.
2 De otra manera cesarían de ofrecerse; porque los que tributan [este] culto, limpios de una vez, no tendrían más conciencia de pecado.
2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
3 Но въ ни́хъ воспомина́нїе грѣхѡ́въ на ко́еждо лѣ́то быва́етъ,
3 Empero en estos [sacrificios] cada año se hace conmemoración de los pecados.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
4 невозмо́жно бо кро́ви ю҆́нчей и҆ ко́злей ѿпꙋща́ти грѣхѝ.
4 Porque la sangre de los toros y de los machos cabríos no puede quitar los pecados.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5◆ Тѣ́мже входѧ̀ въ мі́ръ, гл҃етъ: же́ртвы и҆ приноше́нїѧ не восхотѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, тѣ́ло же соверши́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ:
5 Por lo cual, entrando en el mundo, dice: Sacrificio y presente no quisiste; mas me apropiaste cuerpo:
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
6 Holocaustos y [expiaciones] por el pecado no te agradaron.
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7◆ Тогда̀ рѣ́хъ: сѐ, и҆дꙋ̀: въ глави́знѣ кни́жнѣй написа́сѧ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀, є҆́же сотвори́ти во́лю твою̀, бж҃е.
7 Entonces dije: Heme aquí (en la cabecera del libro está escrito de mí) para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
8 Вы́ше гл҃ѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ же́ртвы и҆ приноше́нїѧ и҆ всесожже́нїй и҆ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ не восхотѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, нижѐ бл҃говоли́лъ є҆сѝ: ꙗ҆̀же по зако́нꙋ прино́сѧтсѧ:
8 Diciendo arriba: Sacrificio y presente, y holocaustos y [expiaciones] por el pecado no quisiste, ni te agradaron, (las cuales cosas se ofrecen según la ley,)
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),
9 тогда̀ речѐ: сѐ, и҆дꙋ̀ сотвори́ти во́лю твою̀, бж҃е. Ѿе́млетъ пе́рвое, да второ́е поста́витъ.
9 Entonces dijo: Heme aquí para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad. Quita lo primero, para establecer lo postrero.
9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10 Ѡ҆ не́йже во́ли ѡ҆сщ҃е́ни є҆смы̀ принесе́нїемъ тѣ́ла і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́ва є҆ди́ною.
10 En la cual voluntad somos santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo [hecha] una sola vez.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 И҆ всѧ́къ ᲂу҆́бѡ свѧще́нникъ стои́тъ на всѧ́къ де́нь слꙋжѧ̀ и҆ ты̑ѧжде мно́жицею приносѧ̀ жє́ртвы, ꙗ҆̀же никогда́же мо́гꙋтъ ѿѧ́ти грѣхѡ́въ.
11 Así que, todo sacerdote se presenta cada día ministrando y ofreciendo muchas veces los mismos sacrificios, que nunca pueden quitar los pecados:
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 Ѻ҆́нъ же є҆ди́нꙋ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ прине́съ же́ртвꙋ, всегда̀ сѣди́тъ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю бг҃а,
12 Pero éste, habiendo ofrecido por los pecados un [solo] sacrificio para siempre, está sentado á la diestra de Dios,
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
13 про́чее ѡ҆жида́ѧ, до́ндеже положа́тсѧ вразѝ є҆гѡ̀ подно́жїе но́гъ є҆гѡ̀:
13 Esperando lo que resta, hasta que sus enemigos sean puestos por estrado de sus pies.
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
14 є҆ди́нѣмъ бо приноше́нїемъ соверши́лъ є҆́сть во вѣ́ки ѡ҆сщ҃а́емыхъ.
14 Porque con una sola ofrenda hizo perfectos para siempre á los santificados.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 Свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ же на́мъ и҆ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й, по рече́нномꙋ бо пре́жде:
15 Y atestíguanos lo mismo el Espíritu Santo; que después que dijo:
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16 се́й завѣ́тъ, є҆го́же завѣща́ю къ ни̑мъ по дне́хъ ѻ҆́нѣхъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, даѧ̀ зако́ны моѧ̑ на сердца̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ въ помышле́нїихъ и҆́хъ напишꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ:
16 Y este es el pacto que haré con ellos después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Daré mis leyes en sus corazones, y en sus almas las escribiré;
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
17 (та́же гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь:) и҆ грѣхѡ́въ и҆́хъ и҆ беззако́нїй и҆́хъ не и҆́мамъ помѧнꙋ́ти ктомꙋ̀.
17 [Añade]: Y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados é iniquidades.
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
18 А҆ и҆дѣ́же ѿпꙋще́нїе си́хъ, ктомꙋ̀ нѣ́сть приноше́нїѧ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ.
18 Pues donde hay remisión de éstos, no hay más ofrenda por pecado.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 И҆мꙋ́ще ᲂу҆̀бо дерзнове́нїе, бра́тїе, входи́ти во ст҃а̑ѧ кро́вїю і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вою, пꙋте́мъ но́вымъ и҆ живы́мъ,
19 Así que, hermanos, teniendo libertad para entrar en el santuario por la sangre de Jesucristo,
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 є҆го́же ѡ҆бнови́лъ є҆́сть на́мъ завѣ́сою, си́рѣчь пл҃тїю свое́ю,
20 Por el camino que él nos consagró nuevo y vivo, por el velo, esto es, por su carne;
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21 и҆ і҆ере́а вели́ка над̾ до́момъ бж҃їимъ,
21 Y [teniendo] un gran sacerdote sobre la casa de Dios,
21 and having a great priest over God’s house,
22 да пристꙋпа́емъ со и҆́стиннымъ се́рдцемъ во и҆звѣще́нїи вѣ́ры, ѡ҆кропле́ни сердцы̀ ѿ со́вѣсти лꙋка́выѧ и҆ и҆змове́ни тѣлесы̀ водо́ю чи́стою:
22 Lleguémonos con corazón verdadero, en plena certidumbre de fe, purificados los corazones de mala conciencia, y lavados los cuerpos con agua limpia.
22 let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
23 да держи́мъ и҆сповѣ́данїе ᲂу҆пова́нїѧ неꙋкло́нное, вѣ́ренъ бо є҆́сть ѡ҆бѣща́вый:
23 Mantengamos firme la profesión de nuestra fe sin fluctuar; que fiel es el que prometió:
23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24 и҆ да разꙋмѣва́емъ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га въ поѡщре́нїи любвѐ и҆ до́брыхъ дѣ́лъ,
24 Y considerémonos los unos á los otros para provocarnos al amor y á las buenas obras;
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
25 не ѡ҆ставлѧ́юще собра́нїѧ своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть нѣ̑кимъ ѡ҆бы́чай, но (дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га) подвиза́юще, и҆ толи́кѡ па́че, є҆ли́кѡ ви́дите приближа́ющїйсѧ де́нь (сꙋ́дный).
25 No dejando nuestra congregación, como algunos tienen por costumbre, mas exhortándonos; y tanto más, cuanto veis que aquel día se acerca.
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 Во́лею бо согрѣша́ющымъ на́мъ по прїѧ́тїи ра́зꙋма и҆́стины, ктомꙋ̀ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ не ѡ҆брѣта́етсѧ же́ртва,
26 Porque si pecáremos voluntariamente después de haber recibido el conocimiento de la verdad, ya no queda sacrificio por el pecado.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 стра́шно же нѣ́кое ча́ѧнїе сꙋда̀ и҆ ѻ҆гнѧ̀ ре́вность, поѧ́сти хотѧ́щагѡ сопроти̑вныѧ.
27 Sino una horrenda esperanza de juicio, y hervor de fuego que ha de devorar á los adversarios.
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 Ѿве́рглсѧ кто̀ зако́на мѡѷсе́ова, без̾ милосе́рдїѧ при двои́хъ и҆лѝ трїе́хъ свидѣ́телехъ ᲂу҆мира́етъ:
28 El que menospreciare la ley de Moisés, por el testimonio de dos ó de tres testigos muere sin ninguna misericordia:
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
29 коли́кѡ мнитѐ го́ршїѧ сподо́битсѧ мꙋ́ки, и҆́же сн҃а бж҃їѧ попра́вый, и҆ кро́вь завѣ́тнꙋю скве́рнꙋ возмни́въ, є҆́юже ѡ҆ст҃и́сѧ, и҆ дх҃а блгⷣти ᲂу҆кори́вый;
29 ¿Cuánto pensáis que será más digno de mayor castigo, el que hollare al Hijo de Dios, y tuviere por inmunda la sangre del testamento, en la cual fué santificado, é hiciere afrenta al Espíritu de gracia?
29 How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 Вѣ́мы бо ре́кшаго: мнѣ̀ ѿмще́нїе, а҆́зъ возда́мъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ па́ки: ꙗ҆́кѡ сꙋ́дитъ гдⷭ҇ь лю́демъ свои̑мъ.
30 Sabemos [quién] es el que dijo: Mía es la venganza, yo daré el pago, dice el Señor. Y otra vez: El Señor juzgará su pueblo.
30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 Стра́шно (є҆́сть) є҆́же впа́сти въ рꙋ́цѣ бг҃а жива́гѡ.
31 Horrenda cosa es caer en las manos del Dios vivo.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Воспомина́йте же пє́рвыѧ дни̑ ва́шѧ, въ ни́хже просвѣти́вшесѧ, мнѡ́гїѧ стра̑сти претерпѣ́сте страда́нїй,
32 Empero traed á la memoria los días pasados, en los cuales, después de haber sido iluminados, sufristeis gran combate de aflicciones:
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
33 ѻ҆́во ᲂу҆́бѡ, поноше́ньми и҆ скорбьмѝ позо́ръ бы́вше, ѻ҆́во же, ѡ҆́бщницы бы́вше живꙋ́щымъ та́кѡ:
33 Por una parte, ciertamente, con vituperios y tribulaciones fuisteis hechos espectáculo; y por otra parte hechos compañeros de los que estaban en tal estado.
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
34 и҆́бо ᲂу҆́замъ мои̑мъ спострада́сте и҆ разграбле́нїе и҆мѣ́нїй ва́шихъ съ ра́достїю прїѧ́сте, вѣ́дѧще и҆мѣ́ти себѣ̀ и҆мѣ́нїе на нб҃сѣ́хъ пребыва́ющее и҆ лꙋ́чшее.
34 Porque de mis prisiones también os resentisteis conmigo, y el robo de vuestros bienes padecisteis con gozo, conociendo que tenéis en vosotros una mejor sustancia en los cielos, y que permanece.
34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35 Не ѿлага́йте ᲂу҆̀бо дерзнове́нїѧ ва́шегѡ, є҆́же и҆́мать мздовоздаѧ́нїе вели́ко.
35 No perdáis pues vuestra confianza, que tiene grande remuneración de galardón:
35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
36 Терпѣ́нїѧ бо и҆́мате потре́бꙋ, да во́лю бж҃їю сотво́рше, прїи́мете ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе:
36 Porque la paciencia os es necesaria; para que, habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengáis la promesa.
36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 є҆ще́ бо ма́ло є҆ли́кѡ є҆ли́кѡ, грѧды́й прїи́детъ и҆ не ᲂу҆косни́тъ.
37 Porque aun un poquito, y el que ha de venir vendrá, y no tardará.
37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
38 А҆ првⷣный ѿ вѣ́ры жи́въ бꙋ́детъ: и҆ а҆́ще ѡ҆бине́тсѧ, не бл҃говоли́тъ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀ ѡ҆ не́мъ.
38 Ahora el justo vivirá por fe; mas si se retirare, no agradará á mi alma.
38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 Мы́ же (бра́тїе) нѣ́смы ѡ҆бинове́нїѧ въ поги́бель, но вѣ́ры въ снабдѣ́нїе дꙋшѝ.
39 Pero nosotros no somos tales que nos retiremos para perdición, sino fieles para ganancia del alma.
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Psalm 40:6 and Hebrews 10:5: “ears” or “a body”?
In the Hebrew text of Psalm 40 God has “dug” or “opened” the psalmist’s ears. In the Greek Septuagint (Psalm 39:7) God has “prepared a body” for him, and the Epistle to the Hebrews quotes that Greek wording of Christ coming into the world. The Orthodox Church reads the Greek. Scholars still debate how the Greek reading arose.
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).
In what has gone before he had shown that the sacrifices were unavailing for perfect purification, and were a type, and greatly defective. Since then there was this objection to his argument, If they are types, how is it that, after the truth is come, they have not ceased, nor given place, but are still performed?

… incur danger, or are deprived of their goods, but of these also, thus saying, "Call to remembrance the former days, in which after ye were illuminated ye endured a great fight of afflictions; partly whilst ye were made a gazing stock by reproaches, and afflictions." On this account then Christ hath appointed the reward also to be great.

… one incorporeal for the incorporeal part, and the other bodily for the body: the water cleanses the body, and the Spirit seals the soul; that we may draw near unto God, having our heart sprinkled by the Spirit, and our body washed with pure water.

You hope to "reign with" Christ; but you "do despite unto the Spirit of grace" by assigning Him the rank of a slave and a subordinate.

Hear him saying, "Yet a little while, and He that cometh will come, and will not tarry. The Lord is at hand, be careful for nothing;" and again, "The fashion of this world passeth away." For neither doth he command only, but also soothes, as a physician should.
