Notes on this text (3)
- 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.
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- 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 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю гл҃ѧ:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 рцы̀ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, и҆ ѡ҆брати́вшесѧ да ѡ҆полча́тсѧ прѧ́мѡ придво́рїю, междꙋ̀ магдѡ́ломъ и҆ междꙋ̀ мо́ремъ, прѧ́мѡ веельсепфѡ́нꙋ: пред̾ ни́ми ѡ҆полчи́шисѧ при мо́ри:
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 и҆ рече́тъ фараѡ́нъ лю́демъ свои̑мъ ѡ҆ сынѣ́хъ і҆и҃левыхъ: заблꙋжда́ютъ сі́и по землѝ, затвори́ бо и҆̀хъ пꙋсты́нѧ:
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 а҆́зъ же ѡ҆жесточꙋ̀ се́рдце фараѡ́ново, и҆ пожене́тъ созадѝ и҆́хъ, и҆ просла́влюсѧ въ фараѡ́нѣ и҆ во все́мъ во́инствѣ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ всѝ є҆гѵ́птѧне, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ сотвори́ша та́кѡ.
4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.
5 И҆ возвѣще́но бы́сть царю̀ є҆гѵ́петскомꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣжа́ша лю́дїе, и҆ преврати́сѧ се́рдце фараѡ́ново и҆ рабѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ на лю́ди, и҆ реко́ша: что̀ сїѐ сотвори́хомъ, ѿпꙋсти́вше сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы, да не рабо́таютъ на́мъ;
5 The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 Впрѧжѐ ᲂу҆̀бо фараѡ́нъ колєсни́цы своѧ̑, и҆ всѧ̑ лю́ди своѧ̑ собра̀ съ собо́ю:
6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 и҆ поѧ́тъ ше́сть сѡ́тъ колесни́цъ и҆збра́нныхъ, и҆ всѧ̑ ко́ни є҆гѵ́пєтскїѧ, и҆ трїста́ты над̾ всѣ́ми.
7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 И҆ ѡ҆жесточѝ гдⷭ҇ь се́рдце фараѡ́на царѧ̀ є҆гѵ́петскагѡ и҆ рабѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ погна̀ созадѝ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ. Сы́нове же і҆и҃лєвы и҆схожда́хꙋ рꙋко́ю высо́кою.
8 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 И҆ погна́ша є҆гѵ́птѧне в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша и҆̀хъ ѡ҆полчи́вшихсѧ при мо́ри: и҆ всѧ̑ ко́ни и҆ колєсни́цы фараѡ́нѡвы, и҆ кѡ́нницы, и҆ во́инство є҆гѡ̀ прѧ́мѡ придво́рїю, проти́вꙋ веельсепфѡ́на.
9 The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 И҆ фараѡ́нъ приближа́шесѧ. Воззрѣ́вше же сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѻ҆чи́ма, ви́дѣша: и҆ сѐ, є҆гѵ́птѧне ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ: и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ возопи́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ
10 When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.
11 и҆ реко́ша къ мѡѷсе́ю: за є҆́же не бы́ти гробѡ́мъ во є҆гѵ́птѣ, и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ на́съ ᲂу҆мертви́ти въ пꙋсты́ни: что̀ сїѐ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ на́мъ, и҆зве́дъ на́съ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта;
11 They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12 не се́й ли бѧ́ше глаго́лъ, є҆го́же реко́хомъ къ тебѣ̀ во є҆гѵ́птѣ, глаго́люще: ѡ҆ста́ви на́съ, да рабо́таемъ є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ: лꙋ́чше бо бѧ́ше на́мъ рабо́тати є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ, не́жели ᲂу҆мре́ти въ пꙋсты́ни се́й.
12 Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й къ лю́демъ: дерза́йте, сто́йте и҆ зри́те спⷭ҇нїе є҆́же ѿ гдⷭ҇а, є҆́же сотвори́тъ на́мъ дне́сь: и҆́мже бо ѡ҆́бразомъ ви́дѣсте є҆гѵ́птѧнъ дне́сь, не приложитѐ ктомꙋ̀ ви́дѣти и҆̀хъ въ вѣ́чное вре́мѧ:
13 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 гдⷭ҇ь побо́ретъ по ва́съ, вы́ же ᲂу҆мо́лкните.
14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: что̀ вопїе́ши ко мнѣ̀; рцы̀ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, и҆ да пꙋтеше́ствꙋютъ,
15 Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 ты́ же возмѝ же́злъ тво́й и҆ прострѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ на мо́ре, и҆ расто́ргни є҆̀: и҆ да вни́дꙋтъ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы посредѣ̀ мо́рѧ по сꙋ́хꙋ:
16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
17 и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ ѡ҆жесточꙋ̀ се́рдце фараѡ́ново и҆ всѣ́хъ є҆гѵ́птѧнъ, и҆ вни́дꙋтъ в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ: и҆ просла́влюсѧ въ фараѡ́нѣ и҆ во все́мъ во́инствѣ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ въ колесни́цахъ и҆ въ ко́нехъ є҆гѡ̀,
17 Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ всѝ є҆гѵ́птѧне, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь, є҆гда̀ прославлѧ́юсѧ въ фараѡ́нѣ и҆ въ колесни́цахъ и҆ въ ко́нехъ є҆гѡ̀.
18 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 Взѧ́тсѧ же а҆́гг҃лъ бж҃їй ходѧ́й пред̾ полко́мъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ и҆ по́йде созадѝ и҆́хъ, взѧ́тсѧ же и҆ сто́лпъ ѡ҆́блачный ѿ лица̀ и҆́хъ и҆ ста̀ созадѝ и҆́хъ.
19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20 И҆ вни́де посредѣ̀ полка̀ є҆гѵ́петска и҆ посредѣ̀ полка̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ и҆ ста̀: и҆ бы́сть тьма̀ и҆ мра́къ, и҆ прїи́де но́щь, и҆ не смѣси́шасѧ дрꙋ́гъ съ дрꙋ́гомъ во всю̀ но́щь.
20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
21 Простре́ же мѡѷсе́й рꙋ́кꙋ на мо́ре, и҆ возгна̀ гдⷭ҇ь мо́ре вѣ́тромъ ю҆́жнымъ си́льнымъ всю̀ но́щь, и҆ сотворѝ мо́ре сꙋ́шꙋ, и҆ разстꙋпи́сѧ вода̀.
21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 И҆ внидо́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы посредѣ̀ мо́рѧ по сꙋ́хꙋ, и҆ вода̀ и҆̀мъ стѣна̀ бы́сть ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю и҆ стѣна̀ ѡ҆шꙋ́юю.
22 The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Погна́ша же є҆гѵ́птѧне и҆ внидо́ша в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ, и҆ всѧ́къ ко́нь фараѡ́новъ, и҆ колєсни́цы, и҆ вса́дники посредѣ̀ мо́рѧ.
23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Бы́сть же въ стра́жꙋ ᲂу҆́треннюю, и҆ воззрѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь на по́лкъ є҆гѵ́петскїй въ столпѣ̀ ѻ҆́гненнѣмъ и҆ ѡ҆́блачнѣмъ, и҆ смѧтѐ по́лкъ є҆гѵ́петскїй,
24 In the morning watch, Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25 и҆ свѧза̀ ѡ҆́си колесни́цъ и҆́хъ, и҆ ведѧ́ше и҆̀хъ съ нꙋ́ждею. И҆ реко́ша є҆гѵ́птѧне: бѣжи́мъ ѿ лица̀ і҆и҃лева, гдⷭ҇ь бо побора́етъ по ни́хъ на є҆гѵ́птѧны.
25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: прострѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ на мо́ре, и҆ да совокꙋпи́тсѧ вода̀ и҆ да покры́етъ є҆гѵ́птѧны, колєсни́цы же и҆ вса́дники.
26 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Простре́ же мѡѷсе́й рꙋ́кꙋ на мо́ре, и҆ ᲂу҆стро́исѧ вода̀ ко дню̀ на мѣ́сто: є҆гѵ́птѧне же бѣжа́ша под̾ водо́ю, и҆ и҆стрѧсѐ гдⷭ҇ь є҆гѵ́птѧны посредѣ̀ мо́рѧ:
27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 и҆ ѡ҆брати́вшисѧ вода̀ покры̀ колєсни́цы и҆ вса́дники и҆ всю̀ си́лꙋ фараѡ́новꙋ, вше́дши в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ въ мо́ре: и҆ не ѡ҆ста̀ ѿ ни́хъ ни є҆ди́нъ.
28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 Сы́нове же і҆и҃лєвы проидо́ша по сꙋ́хꙋ посредѣ̀ мо́рѧ: вода́ же и҆̀мъ стѣна̀ (бы́сть) ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю и҆ стѣна̀ ѡ҆шꙋ́юю,
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 и҆ и҆зба́ви гдⷭ҇ь і҆и҃лѧ въ де́нь ѡ҆́нъ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ: и҆ ви́дѣша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы є҆гѵ́птѧнъ и҆зме́ршихъ при краѝ мо́рѧ.
30 Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 Ви́дѣ же і҆и҃ль рꙋ́кꙋ вели́кꙋю, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ, и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ лю́дїе гдⷭ҇а и҆ вѣ́роваша бг҃ꙋ и҆ мѡѷсе́ю ᲂу҆го́дникꙋ є҆гѡ̀.
31 Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
32 Тогда̀ воспѣ̀ мѡѷсе́й и҆ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы пѣ́снь сїю̀ гдⷭ҇еви, и҆ реко́ша глаго́люще:

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).
The sea was divided; a way was made in the midst of the waves; their enemies following, were covered by the same waves through which they passed: and yet when Moses, the man of God, had departed from their sight, they asked for an idol, and said, "Make us gods to go before us; for this man has deserted us." …

Since Moses too was pained, and prayed in this way and was heard; for this cause also God said unto him, "Wherefore criest thou unto me." And Hannah too again, her voice not being heard, accomplished all she wished, forasmuch as her heart cried out.

Therefore this darkness of the body has been placed between us and God, like the cloud of old between the Egyptians and the Hebrews; and this is perhaps what is meant by "He made darkness His secret place," namely our dulness, through which few can see even a little.

Some "were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea." And it is admitted that faith even before now has been put in men; for "The people believed God and his servant Moses." Why then, it is asked, do we, on account of faith and of baptism, exalt and magnify the Holy Spirit so far above creation, when …

For who else save Moses smote the Egyptians with so many and mighty plagues, as when He led the people through the parted waters of the sea, when he obtained manna for them from heaven in their hunger, and water from the rock in their thirst?
