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 Да не прїи́меши слꙋ́ха сꙋ́етна, да не приложи́шисѧ съ непра́веднымъ бы́ти свидѣ́тель непра́веденъ:
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
2 да не бꙋ́деши со мно́гими на ѕло́бꙋ, да не приложи́шисѧ ко мно́жествꙋ ᲂу҆клони́тисѧ со мно́жайшими, ꙗ҆́кѡ преврати́ти сꙋ́дъ,
2 “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
3 и҆ ни́щагѡ да не поми́лꙋеши на сꙋдѣ̀.
3 You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.
4 А҆́ще же срѧ́щеши говѧ́до врага̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆лѝ ѻ҆слѧ̀ є҆гѡ̀ заблꙋжда́ющее, ѡ҆брати́въ да ѿда́си є҆мꙋ̀:
4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 а҆́ще же ᲂу҆́зриши ѻ҆слѧ̀ врага̀ твоегѡ̀ па́дшее под̾ бре́менемъ є҆гѡ̀, да не мимои́деши є҆̀, но да воздви́гнеши є҆̀ съ ни́мъ.
5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him. You shall surely help him with it.
6 Да не преврати́ши сꙋда̀ ни́щемꙋ въ сꙋдѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
6 “You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
7 Ѿ всѧ́кагѡ сло́ва непра́веднагѡ да ѿстꙋ́пиши: непови́нна и҆ првⷣна да не ᲂу҆бїе́ши, и҆ не ѡ҆правди́ши нечести́ваго дарѡ́въ ра́ди,
7 “Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
8 и҆ да не во́змеши дарѡ́въ: да́ры бо ѡ҆слѣплѧ́ютъ ѻ҆́чи ви́дѧщымъ и҆ погꙋблѧ́ютъ словеса̀ првⷣна.
8 “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 И҆ прише́льца не ѡ҆скорблѧ́йте, ни стꙋжи́те (є҆мꙋ̀): вы́ бо вѣ́сте дꙋ́шꙋ прише́лчꙋ, поне́же са́ми бѣ́сте прише́льцы въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй.
9 “You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
10 Ше́сть лѣ́тъ да сѣ́еши зе́млю твою̀ и҆ да собере́ши плоды̀ є҆ѧ̀:
10 “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
11 въ седмо́е же ѡ҆ставле́нїе да сотвори́ши и҆ ѡ҆пꙋ́стиши ю҆̀, и҆ да ꙗ҆́сти бꙋ́дꙋтъ ᲂу҆бо́зїи ꙗ҆зы́ка твоегѡ̀, ѡ҆ста́нки же да снѣдѧ́тъ ѕвѣ́рїе ди́вїи: та́кѡ да сотвори́ши вїногра́дꙋ твоемꙋ̀ и҆ ма́сличїю твоемꙋ̀.
11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
12 Въ ше́сть дні́й да сотвори́ши дѣла̀ твоѧ̑, въ седмы́й же де́нь поко́й: да почі́етъ во́лъ тво́й и҆ ѻ҆се́лъ тво́й, и҆ да почі́етъ сы́нъ рабы̀ твоеѧ̀ и҆ пришле́цъ.
12 “Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
13 Всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, сохрани́те, и҆ме́нъ же богѡ́въ и҆нѣ́хъ не помина́йте, нижѐ да слы́шатсѧ и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ ва́шихъ.
13 “Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.
14 Трѝ кра́ты въ лѣ́тѣ сотвори́те мѝ пра́здникъ:
14 “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
15 пра́здникъ ѡ҆прѣсно́кѡвъ сохрани́те твори́ти, се́дмь дні́й ꙗ҆ди́те ѡ҆прѣсно́ки, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́дахъ тебѣ̀, во вре́мѧ мцⷭ҇а но́выхъ плодѡ́въ, въ то́й бо и҆зше́лъ є҆сѝ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, да не ꙗ҆ви́шисѧ предо мно́ю то́щь:
15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.
16 и҆ пра́здникъ жа́твы перворо́дныхъ жи̑тъ сотвори́ши ѿ дѣ́лъ твои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же посѣ́еши на ни́вѣ твое́й: и҆ пра́здникъ сконча́нїѧ при и҆схо́дѣ лѣ́та въ собра́нїи дѣ́лъ твои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѿ ни́въ твои́хъ.
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
17 Трѝ кра́ты въ лѣ́тѣ да ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ всѧ́къ мꙋ́жескъ по́лъ тво́й пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ твои́мъ.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.
18 Є҆гда́ бо и҆зженꙋ̀ ꙗ҆зы́ки ѿ лица̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ разширю̀ предѣ́лы твоѧ̑, да не пожре́ши на ква́сѣ кро́ве же́ртвы моеѧ̀, нижѐ да долежи́тъ тꙋ́къ пра́здника моегѡ̀ до ᲂу҆́трїѧ.
18 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
19 Нача́тки пе́рвыхъ жи̑тъ землѝ твоеѧ̀ да внесе́ши въ до́мъ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀. Да не свари́ши ꙗ҆гнѧ́те во млецѣ̀ ма́тере є҆гѡ̀.
19 You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of Yahweh your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20 И҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ послю̀ а҆́гг҃ла моего̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, да сохрани́тъ тѧ̀ на пꙋтѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да введе́тъ тѧ̀ въ зе́млю, ю҆́же ᲂу҆гото́вахъ тебѣ̀:
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 вонмѝ себѣ̀ и҆ послꙋ́шай є҆го̀, и҆ не ѡ҆слꙋ́шайсѧ є҆гѡ̀: не ѡ҆бине́тсѧ бо тебє̀, и҆́мѧ бо моѐ є҆́сть на не́мъ:
21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.
22 а҆́ще слꙋ́хомъ послꙋ́шаеши гла́са моегѡ̀ и҆ сотвори́ши всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка а҆́зъ заповѣ́даю тебѣ̀, и҆ сохрани́ши завѣ́тъ мо́й, бꙋ́дете мѝ лю́ди и҆збра́нни ѿ всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ: моѧ́ бо є҆́сть всѧ̀ землѧ̀, вы́ же бꙋ́дете мѝ цр҃ское сщ҃е́нїе и҆ ꙗ҆зы́къ ст҃ъ. Сїѧ̑ словеса̀ да рече́ши сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ. А҆́ще слꙋ́хомъ послꙋ́шаеши гла́са моегѡ̀ и҆ сотвори́ши всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка рекꙋ̀ тебѣ̀, вра́гъ бꙋ́дꙋ врагѡ́мъ твои̑мъ и҆ сопроти́влюсѧ сопроти́вникѡмъ твои̑мъ.
22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 По́йдетъ бо а҆́гг҃лъ мо́й наставлѧ́ѧй тѧ̀ и҆ введе́тъ тѧ̀ ко а҆морре́ю и҆ хетте́ю, и҆ ферезе́ю и҆ ханане́ю, и҆ гергесе́ю и҆ є҆ѵе́ю и҆ і҆евꙋсе́ю, и҆ потреблю̀ и҆̀хъ (ѿ лица̀ ва́шегѡ):
23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
24 да не поклони́шисѧ богѡ́мъ и҆́хъ, нижѐ послꙋ́жиши и҆̀мъ: да не сотвори́ши по дѣлѡ́мъ и҆́хъ, но разоре́нїемъ разори́ши и҆ сокрꙋше́нїемъ сокрꙋши́ши ка̑пища и҆́хъ,
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
25 и҆ да послꙋ́жиши гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀: и҆ блгⷭ҇влю̀ хлѣ́бъ тво́й и҆ вїно̀ твоѐ и҆ во́дꙋ твою̀, и҆ ѿвращꙋ̀ болѣ́знь ѿ ва́съ.
25 You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
26 Не бꙋ́детъ безча́денъ, нижѐ непло́ды на землѝ твое́й: число̀ дні́й твои́хъ и҆сполнѧ́ѧ и҆спо́лню.
26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 И҆ стра́хъ послю̀ ведꙋ́щїй тѧ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆страшꙋ̀ всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки, въ нѧ́же ты̀ вхо́диши къ ни̑мъ, и҆ да́мъ всѧ̑ сопроти́вники твоѧ̑ въ бѣгꙋны̀:
27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 и҆ послю̀ шє́ршни пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ и҆зженꙋ̀ а҆моррє́и и҆ є҆ѵє́и, и҆ і҆евꙋсє́и и҆ хананє́и и҆ хеттє́и ѿ тебє̀:
28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
29 не и҆зженꙋ̀ и҆́хъ въ лѣ́тѣ є҆ди́нѣмъ, да не бꙋ́детъ землѧ̀ пꙋста̀, и҆ мно́зи бꙋ́дꙋтъ на тѧ̀ ѕвѣ̑ри земні́и:
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
30 пома́лꙋ пома́лꙋ и҆зженꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ ѿ тебє̀, до́ндеже возрасте́ши и҆ наслѣ́диши зе́млю.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
31 И҆ положꙋ̀ предѣ́лы твоѧ̑ ѿ чермна́гѡ мо́рѧ до мо́рѧ фѷлїсті́млѧ, и҆ ѿ пꙋсты́ни до рѣкѝ вели́кїѧ є҆ѵфра́та, и҆ преда́мъ въ рꙋ́цѣ ва́ши сѣдѧ́щихъ на землѝ и҆ и҆зженꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ ѿ тебє̀:
31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 да не смѣси́шисѧ съ ни́ми, и҆ съ бѡ́ги и҆́хъ да не завѣща́еши завѣ́та,
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 и҆ да не ѡ҆ста́нꙋтсѧ на землѝ твое́й, да не сотворѧ́тъ тѧ̀ согрѣши́ти ко мнѣ̀: а҆́ще бо порабо́таеши богѡ́мъ и҆́хъ, сі́и бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ въ собла́знъ.
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

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).
… thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light; for thou hast pronounced false judgments, and hast been accustomed to condemn the innocent, and to let the guilty go free, albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and the righteous shalt thou not slay." Of whom also did the Lord say: "But if the evil servant shall say in …
