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 Мцⷭ҇а же тре́тїѧгѡ и҆зше́ствїѧ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ, въ сі́й де́нь прїидо́ша въ пꙋсты́ню сїна́йскꙋю:
1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 и҆ воздвиго́шасѧ ѿ рафїді́на и҆ прїидо́ша въ пꙋсты́ню сїна́йскꙋю, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ та́мѡ і҆и҃ль прѧ́мѡ горы̀.
2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3 Мѡѷсе́й же взы́де на го́рꙋ бж҃їю, и҆ воззва̀ є҆го̀ бг҃ъ ѿ горы̀ гл҃ѧ: сїѧ̑ возглаго́леши до́мꙋ і҆а́кѡвлю и҆ повѣ́си сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ:
3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 са́ми ви́дѣсте, є҆ли̑ка сотвори́хъ є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ, и҆ под̾ѧ́хъ ва́съ ꙗ҆́кѡ на крилѣ́хъ ѻ҆́рлихъ и҆ приведо́хъ ва́съ къ себѣ̀:
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
5 и҆ нн҃ѣ а҆́ще слꙋ́хомъ послꙋ́шаете гла́са моегѡ̀ и҆ сохранитѐ завѣ́тъ мо́й, бꙋ́дете мѝ лю́дїе и҆збра́нни ѿ всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ: моѧ́ бо є҆́сть всѧ̀ землѧ̀:
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
6 вы́ же бꙋ́дете мѝ цр҃ское сщ҃е́нїе и҆ ꙗ҆зы́къ ст҃ъ: сїѧ̑ словеса̀ да рече́ши сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ.
6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 Прїи́де же мѡѷсе́й, и҆ призва̀ ста́рцы людскі̑ѧ и҆ предложѝ и҆̀мъ всѧ̑ словеса̀ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же завѣща̀ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ.
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.
8 Ѿвѣща́ша же всѝ лю́дїе є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ и҆ реко́ша: всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка речѐ бг҃ъ, сотвори́мъ и҆ послꙋ́шаемъ. Донесе́ же мѡѷсе́й словеса̀ сїѧ̑ къ бг҃ꙋ,
8 All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.
9 и҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: сѐ, а҆́зъ прїидꙋ̀ къ тебѣ̀ въ столпѣ̀ ѡ҆́блачнѣ, да ᲂу҆слы́шатъ лю́дїе гл҃юща мѧ̀ къ тебѣ̀ и҆ да тебѣ̀ вѣ́рꙋютъ во вѣ́ки. Повѣ́да же мѡѷсе́й словеса̀ люді́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
9 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.
10 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь мѡѷсе́ю: соше́дъ засвидѣ́тельствꙋй лю́демъ и҆ ѡ҆чи́сти ѧ҆̀ дне́сь и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ, и҆ да и҆сперꙋ́тъ ри̑зы,
10 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 и҆ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ готѡ́вы въ де́нь тре́тїй: въ тре́тїй бо де́нь сни́детъ гдⷭ҇ь на го́рꙋ сїна́йскꙋю пред̾ всѣ́ми людьмѝ:
11 and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
12 и҆ ᲂу҆стро́иши лю́ди ѡ҆́крестъ глаго́лѧ: внемли́те себѣ̀ не восходи́ти на го́рꙋ и҆ ничи́мже коснꙋ́тисѧ є҆ѧ̀: всѧ́къ прикоснꙋ́выйсѧ горѣ̀ сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мретъ:
12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13 не ко́снетсѧ є҆́й рꙋка̀, ка́менїемъ бо побїе́тсѧ и҆лѝ стрѣло́ю ᲂу҆стрѣли́тсѧ, а҆́ще ско́тъ, а҆́ще человѣ́къ, не бꙋ́детъ жи́въ: є҆гда́ же гла́си и҆ трꙋбы̑ и҆ ѡ҆́блакъ ѿи́детъ ѿ горы̀, сі́и взы́дꙋтъ на го́рꙋ.
13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14 Сни́де же мѡѷсе́й съ горы̀ къ лю́демъ, и҆ ѡ҆свѧтѝ ѧ҆̀, и҆ и҆спра́ша ри̑зы своѧ̑:
14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 и҆ речѐ лю́демъ: бꙋ́дите гото́ви, трѝ дни̑ не входи́те къ жена́мъ.
15 He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16 Бы́сть же въ тре́тїй де́нь бы́вшꙋ ко ᲂу҆́трꙋ, и҆ бы́ша гла́си и҆ мѡ́лнїѧ и҆ ѡ҆́блакъ мра́ченъ на горѣ̀ сїна́йстѣй, гла́съ трꙋ́бный глаша́ше ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе, и҆̀же въ полцѣ̀:
16 On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 и҆зведе́ же мѡѷсе́й лю́ди во срѣ́тенїе бг҃ꙋ и҆з̾ полка̀, и҆ ста́ша под̾ горо́ю.
17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18 Гора́ же сїна́йскаѧ дымѧ́шесѧ всѧ̀, схожде́нїѧ ра́ди бж҃їѧ на ню̀ во ѻ҆гнѝ, и҆ восхожда́ше ды́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ды́мъ пе́щный: и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе ѕѣлѡ̀.
18 All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19 Бы́ша же гла́си трꙋ́бнїи происходѧ́ще крѣ́пцы ѕѣлѡ̀: мѡѷсе́й глаго́лаше, бг҃ъ же ѿвѣщава́ше є҆мꙋ̀ гла́сомъ.
19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 Сни́де же гдⷭ҇ь на го́рꙋ сїна́йскꙋю на ве́рхъ горы̀, и҆ воззва̀ гдⷭ҇ь мѡѷсе́а на ве́рхъ горы̀, и҆ взы́де мѡѷсе́й:
20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 и҆ речѐ бг҃ъ къ немꙋ̀ гл҃ѧ: соше́дъ засвидѣ́тельствꙋй лю́демъ, да не когда̀ пристꙋ́пѧтъ къ бг҃ꙋ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ти, и҆ падꙋ́тъ ѿ ни́хъ мно́зи:
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 жерцы́ же пристꙋпа́ющїи ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ да ѡ҆свѧтѧ́тсѧ, да не когда̀ погꙋби́тъ ѿ ни́хъ гдⷭ҇ь.
22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break out on them.”
23 И҆ речѐ мѡѷсе́й къ бг҃ꙋ: не возмо́гꙋтъ лю́дїе взы́ти на го́рꙋ сїна́йскꙋю: ты́ бо завѣща́лъ є҆сѝ на́мъ гл҃ѧ: ѡ҆предѣлѝ го́рꙋ и҆ ѡ҆свѧтѝ ю҆̀.
23 Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆дѝ, сни́ди и҆ взы́ди ты̀ и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ съ тобо́ю: жерцы́ же и҆ лю́дїе да не нꙋ́дѧтсѧ взы́ти къ бг҃ꙋ, да не когда̀ погꙋби́тъ ѿ ни́хъ гдⷭ҇ь.
24 Yahweh said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break out against them.”
25 Сни́де же мѡѷсе́й къ лю́демъ и҆ повѣ́да и҆̀мъ.
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.

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).
When they were bending and shooting bows, they did also utter the words of most forward promise, saying, "Whatsoever things the Lord our God hath spoken we will do, and we will hear." "They have been turned back in the day of war:" because the promise of obedience not hearing but temptation doth prove.

For the Word is not stoned, but casts stones when He pleases; and uses a sling against wild beasts--that is, words--approaching the Mount in an unholy way.
