Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν, Ύπαγε, ανάβηθι εντεύθεν συ και ο λαός τον οποίον εξήγαγες εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εις την γην την οποίαν ώμοσα προς τον Αβραάμ, προς τον Ισαάκ και προς τον Ιακώβ, λέγων, Εις το σπέρμα σου θέλω δώσει αυτήν·
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
2 και θέλω αποστείλει άγγελον έμπροσθέν σου και θέλω εκδιώξει τον Χαναναίον, τον Αμορραίον και τον Χετταίον και τον Φερεζαίον τον Ευαίον και τον Ιεβουσαίον·
2 I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3 εις γην ρέουσαν γάλα και μέλι διότι εγώ δεν θέλω αναβή εν τω μέσω σου, επειδή είσαι λαός σκληροτράχηλος, διά να μη σε εξολοθρεύσω καθ' οδόν.
3 Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
4 Και ότε ήκουσεν ο λαός τον κακόν τούτον λόγον, κατεπένθησαν και ουδείς έβαλε τον στολισμόν αυτού εφ' εαυτόν.
4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.
5 Διότι ο Κύριος είπε προς τον Μωϋσήν, Ειπέ προς τους υιούς Ισραήλ, Σεις είσθε λαός σκληροτράχηλος· μίαν στιγμήν εάν αναβώ εις το μέσον σου, θέλω σε εξολοθρεύσει· όθεν τώρα εκδύθητι τους στολισμούς σου από σου, διά να γνωρίσω τι θέλω κάμει εις σε.
5 Yahweh had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
6 Και εξεδύθησαν οι υιοί του Ισραήλ τους στολισμούς αυτών πλησίον του όρους Χωρήβ.
6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
7 Και λαβών ο Μωϋσής την σκηνήν, έστησεν αυτήν έξω του στρατοπέδου, μακράν του στρατοπέδου, και ωνόμασεν αυτήν Σκηνήν του μαρτυρίου· και πας ο ζητών τον Κύριον εξήρχετο προς την σκηνήν του μαρτυρίου την έξω του στρατοπέδου.
7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
8 Και ότε εξήρχετο ο Μωϋσής προς την σκηνήν, πας ο λαός εσηκόνετο και ίστατο έκαστος παρά την θύραν της σκηνής αυτού και έβλεπον κατόπιν του Μωϋσέως, εωσού εισήρχετο εις την σκηνήν.
8 When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
9 Και καθώς εισήρχετο ο Μωϋσής εις την σκηνήν, κατέβαινεν ο στύλος της νεφέλης και ίστατο επί των θυρών της σκηνής· και ελάλει ο Κύριος μετά του Μωϋσέως.
9 When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and Yahweh spoke with Moses.
10 Και έβλεπε πας ο λαός τον στύλον της νεφέλης ιστάμενον επί των θυρών της σκηνής· και πας ο λαός ανιστάμενος προσεκύνει, έκαστος από της θύρας της σκηνής αυτού.
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
11 Και ελάλει ο Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν πρόσωπον προς πρόσωπον, καθώς λαλεί άνθρωπος προς τον φίλον αυτού. Και επέστρεφεν εις το στρατόπεδον· ο δε θεράπων αυτού νέος, Ιησούς ο υιός του Ναυή, δεν ανεχώρει από της σκηνής.
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.
12 Και είπεν ο Μωϋσής προς τον Κύριον, Ιδέ, συ μοι λέγεις, Ανάγαγε τον λαόν τούτον· και συ δεν με εφανέρωσας ποίον θέλεις αποστείλει μετ' εμού· και συ είπας, σε γνωρίζω κατ' όνομα, και μάλιστα εύρηκας χάριν έμπροσθέν μου·
12 Moses said to Yahweh, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
13 τώρα λοιπόν, εάν εύρηκα χάριν έμπροσθέν σου, δείξόν μοι, δέομαι, την οδόν σου, διά να σε γνωρίσω, διά να εύρω χάριν ενώπιόν σου· και ιδέ ότι τούτο το έθνος είναι ο λαός σου.
13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 και είπεν, Η παρουσία μου θέλει ελθεί μετά σου και θέλω σοι δώσει ανάπαυσιν.
14 He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Ο δε είπε προς αυτόν, Εάν η παρουσία σου δεν έλθη μετ' εμού, μη αναγάγης ημάς εντεύθεν·
15 Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
16 διότι πως θέλει γνωρισθή τώρα, ότι εύρηκα χάριν ενώπιόν σου εγώ και ο λαός σου; ουχί διά της ελεύσεώς σου μεθ' ημών; ούτω θέλομεν διακριθή, εγώ και ο λαός σου, από παντός λαού, του επί προσώπου της γης.
16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”
17 Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν, Και τούτο το πράγμα το οποίον είπας, θέλω κάμει διότι εύρηκας χάριν ενώπιόν μου και σε γνωρίζω κατ' όνομα.
17 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”
18 Και είπε, Δείξον μοι, δέομαι, την δόξαν σου.
18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
19 Ο δε είπεν, Εγώ θέλω κάμει να περάση έμπροσθέν σου όλη η αγαθότης μου και θέλω κηρύξει το όνομα του Κυρίου έμπροσθέν σου και θέλω ελεήσει όντινα ελεώ και θέλω οικτειρήσει όντινα οικτείρω.
19 He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
20 Και είπε, δεν δύνασαι να ίδης το πρόσωπόν μου· διότι άνθρωπος δεν θέλει με ιδεί και ζήσει.
20 He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
21 Και είπεν ο Κύριος, Ιδού, τόπος πλησίον μου, και θέλεις σταθή επί της πέτρας·
21 Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 και όταν η δόξα μου διαβαίνη, θέλω σε βάλει εις το σχίσμα της πέτρας και θέλω σε σκεπάσει με την χείρα μου, εωσού παρέλθω·
22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
23 και θέλω σηκώσει την χείρα μου και θέλεις ιδεί τα οπίσω μου· το δε πρόσωπόν μου δεν θέλεις ιδεί.
23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”

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).
But when My splendour shall pass by, then thou shalt see My back parts, but My face thou shalt not see: for no man sees My face, and shall live." Two facts are thus signified: that it is impossible for man to see God; and that, through the wisdom of God, man shall see Him in the last times, in …
For, though Moses conversed with God, yet he said, "If I have found grace in Thy sight, show me Thyself, that I may see and know Thee." And as it was fit that the law, which was given, not to one man or a few enlightened men, but to the whole of a populous nation, should be accompanied by awe-inspiring …

Now if the sight of the likeness of the glory brought fear and distress upon the prophets, any one who should attempt to behold God Himself would to a certainty lose his life, according to the saying, No man shall see My face and live.

Accordingly we find the Psalmist, even in reference to God, saying "Be Thou to me a champion God and a strong place to save me" and concerning the Spirit "behold there is place by me, and stand upon a rock." Plainly meaning the place or contemplation in the Spirit wherein, after Moses had entered thither, he was able to see …

For thou hast it plainly stated in the law: "And Moses spake with the Lord face to face, as a friend with his friend." Following the same scripture, thou findest Moses saying: "If I have found grace in Thy sight, show me Thyself plainly, that I may see Thee." And it is little that he said this: he received the …
