142 any vain (apyoc) words with their mouths, lest they become a stumbling-block unto any man and lest men be offended at them. Those that go in unto the house of God must give glory to God, and men must give glory to them. Let them keep themselves from all error (n-;.#i/j?), lest God be wroth (p. 41) with them and destroy them like the sons of Eli, upon the altar (0ur.), because of this sins and wickedness (-xirsfifc) which they have committed before Him in His house. Is it not written: The priests which draw nigh unto God, let them purify themselves, lest the Lord destroy cer tain of them? If He spared not those for the sake of their righteous (5/x^/;r) fathers, with whom He oftentimes did talk face to face, shall He then spare a guileful and impure (xxxC.) and erring (T^XVO:), wicked priest in His house, and not blot him (///. them) out? Wherefore no priest shall do aught that is dissolute (bol cbol), that no man may find cause against them in their houses or in the church; but they must be seen in good words and your father which is in heaven be glorified. 2 No priest shall sport with any woman, whether girl or grown woman, lest he become an offence (rxxvixôv) unto any man among the people; for it is written: Woe unto the man through whom the offence cometh. 3 No presbyter (irpe<r(2.) shall mix himself in any matter 4 nor shall he anoint a woman with oil with his hands, lest he become (p. 42) an occasion (xQcpp-j) unto men; 5 for it is written: Thou shalt turn away hence, lest any one set a stain upon thee. 7 For the heart of man is inclined unto wickedness from his youth. * But let him pray only over the oil and let them pour it out for them (sc. the women); thereafter let them (sc. the priests) sign (f(J)pxyl&) it and give it to 1 Ex. XIX. 22. V. above, p. 4. * This clause seems incomplete. cf. Sihe mmok epai. Cf. \ Tim. VI. 20 and Zoega 478. 2 Mat. V. 16. 3 Mat. XVIII. 7. i Eccli. XI. 33. 8 Gen. VIII. 21. 2 Cor. XI. 12.
them and let them anoint themselves. l But if they be not able to anoint themselves because of a sickness that is heavy upon them, other women shall anoint them. No presbyter shall drink wine till he is drunken; and neither, if they drink, shall they go in and out in the village or in the street, lest they defile the name of God through their shame- lessness. Neither shall they drink while yet the sun is out, lest they become for a stumbling-block unto such as pass by (Trzpayu) and behold them and say: Behold and see these that be drunken with the offerings (TrpoaQopa) of the poor. Forthwith shall. the word which is written be fulfilled upon them, saying: These be they that devour widows houses and in a pretence do pray. 2 These shall receive the greater condemnation. 3 No presbyter shall drink wine in wantonness (<77r#T#A#A/#) nor in sport, after the manner of those fools which, when they drink, shout aloud, 4 like them that make war (TroXeôc). This is the type (TUTTCC) of that unprofitable folk of (former) times, which made for themselves a calf and did worship it and shouted aloud in mirth disgraceful to themselves, saying : These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee forth from the land of Egypt. 5 Ye have seen wine, how great wickedness it will work. They did change their nature (0ucr/$) and denied (zpvaa) God who created them and worshipped the likeness of a beast and named it God, displaying their impurity; for they (that did) thus were priests of the people. No priest shall do violence unto any man, neither shall they keep two weights in their houses, a small aud a great ; but every righteous thing $IK&IO<FVVVI) shall be theirs, for it is unto them that the people pay heed in all things. No priest shall defile himself in any wise beyond the community (xoivocvltz) of his bed, lest they be for a 1 On women anointing women cf. Ap. Const. III. 15, Test, Dom. II. 8. 2 Mat.
