1 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: пред̾идѝ, взы́ди ѿсю́дꙋ ты̀ и҆ лю́дїе твоѝ, и҆̀хже и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ на зе́млю, є҆́юже клѧ́хсѧ а҆враа́мꙋ и҆ і҆саа́кꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ, гл҃ѧ: сѣ́мени ва́шемꙋ да́мъ ю҆̀: 2 и҆ послю̀ кꙋ́пнѡ а҆́гг҃ла моего̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆ и҆зжене́тъ ханане́а, а҆морре́а и҆ хетте́а, и҆ ферезе́а и҆ гергесе́а, и҆ є҆ѵе́а и҆ і҆евꙋсе́а: 3 и҆ введꙋ́ тѧ въ зе́млю текꙋ́щꙋю млеко́мъ и҆ ме́домъ: са́мъ бо не пойдꙋ̀ съ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́дїе жестоковы́йнїи сꙋ́ть, да не ᲂу҆бїю̀ тебѐ на пꙋтѝ. 4 И҆ ᲂу҆слы́шавше лю́дїе сло́во сїѐ стра́шное, воспла́кашасѧ въ плаче́вныхъ (ри́захъ). 5 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: глаго́ли сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ: вы̀ лю́дїе жестоковы́йнїи, блюди́тесѧ, да не ꙗ҆́звꙋ дрꙋгꙋ́ю наведꙋ̀ на вы̀ и҆ потреблю̀ вы̀: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо сыми́те ри̑зы сла́вы ва́шеѧ и҆ ᲂу҆́тварь, и҆ покажꙋ̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворю̀ ва́мъ. 6 И҆ ѿѧ́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ᲂу҆́тварь свою̀ и҆ ри̑зы ѿ горы̀ хѡри́ва. 7 И҆ взе́мъ мѡѷсе́й кꙋ́щꙋ свою̀, потчѐ ю҆̀ внѣ̀ полка̀, дале́че ѿ полка̀, и҆ прозва́сѧ ски́нїѧ свидѣ́нїѧ: и҆ бы́сть, всѧ́къ взыскꙋ́ѧй гдⷭ҇а и҆схожда́ше въ ски́нїю, ꙗ҆́же внѣ̀ полка̀. 8 Є҆гда́ же вхожда́ше мѡѷсе́й въ ски́нїю внѣ̀ полка̀, стоѧ́хꙋ всѝ лю́дїе смотрѧ́ще кі́йждо пред̾ две́рьми кꙋ́щи своеѧ̀, и҆ зрѧ́хꙋ ѿходѧ́щꙋ мѡѷсе́ю да́же вни́ти є҆мꙋ̀ въ ски́нїю. 9 Є҆гда́ же вни́де мѡѷсе́й въ ски́нїю, сни́де сто́лпъ ѡ҆́блачный и҆ ста̀ пред̾ две́рьми ски́нїи, и҆ гл҃а (гдⷭ҇ь) мѡѷсе́ю. 10 И҆ ви́дѧхꙋ всѝ лю́дїе сто́лпъ ѡ҆́блачный стоѧ́щь пред̾ две́рьми ски́нїи: и҆ ста́вше всѝ лю́дїе, поклони́шасѧ кі́йждо и҆з̾ две́рїй кꙋ́щи своеѧ̀: 11 и҆ гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю лице́мъ къ лицꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́коже а҆́ще бы кто̀ возглаго́лалъ къ своемꙋ̀ дрꙋ́гꙋ, и҆ ѿпꙋща́шесѧ въ по́лкъ: слꙋга́ же і҆исꙋ́съ, сы́нъ наѵи́нъ, ю҆́ноша не и҆схожда́ше и҆з̾ ски́нїи. 12 И҆ речѐ мѡѷсе́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: сѐ, ты̀ мнѣ̀ гл҃еши: и҆зведѝ лю́ди сїѧ̑: ты́ же не ꙗ҆ви́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ, кого̀ по́слеши со мно́ю: ты́ же мнѣ̀ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: вѣ́мъ тѧ̀ па́че всѣ́хъ и҆ блгⷣть и҆́маши ᲂу҆ менє̀: 13 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо ѡ҆брѣто́хъ блгⷣть пред̾ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆ви́ ми тебѐ сама́го, да разꙋ́мнѡ ви́ждꙋ тѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѡ҆брѣ́тъ бꙋ́дꙋ блгⷣть пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ да позна́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́дїе твоѝ ꙗ҆зы́къ вели́къ се́й. 14 И҆ гл҃а (є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь): а҆́зъ са́мъ пред̾идꙋ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю и҆ ᲂу҆поко́ю тѧ̀. 15 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ мѡѷсе́й: а҆́ще са́мъ ты̀ не и҆́деши съ на́ми, да не и҆зведе́ши мѧ̀ ѿсю́дꙋ: 16 и҆ ка́кѡ вѣ́домо бꙋ́детъ вои́стиннꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ блгⷣть ᲂу҆ тебє̀ а҆́зъ же и҆ лю́дїе твоѝ, то́чїю и҆дꙋ́щꙋ тѝ съ на́ми; и҆ просла́вленъ бꙋ́дꙋ а҆́зъ же и҆ лю́дїе твоѝ па́че всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ, є҆ли́цы сꙋ́ть на землѝ. 17 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: и҆ сїѐ тебѣ̀ сло́во, є҆́же ре́клъ є҆сѝ, сотворю̀: ѡ҆брѣ́лъ бо є҆сѝ блгⷣть предо мно́ю, и҆ вѣ́мъ тѧ̀ па́че всѣ́хъ. 18 И҆ глаго́ла мѡѷсе́й: покажи́ ми сла́вꙋ твою̀. 19 И҆ речѐ (гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю): а҆́зъ пред̾идꙋ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю сла́вою мое́ю и҆ воззовꙋ̀ ѡ҆ и҆́мени мое́мъ, гдⷭ҇ь пред̾ тобо́ю: и҆ поми́лꙋю, є҆го́же а҆́ще ми́лꙋю, и҆ ᲂу҆ще́дрю, є҆го́же а҆́ще ще́дрю. 20 И҆ речѐ: не возмо́жеши ви́дѣти лица̀ моегѡ̀: не бо̀ ᲂу҆́зритъ человѣ́къ лицѐ моѐ, и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ. 21 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, мѣ́сто ᲂу҆ менє̀, и҆ ста́неши на ка́мени: 22 є҆гда́ же пре́йдетъ сла́ва моѧ̀, и҆ положꙋ́ тѧ въ разсѣ́линѣ ка́мене, и҆ покры́ю рꙋко́ю мое́ю над̾ тобо́ю, до́ндеже мимоидꙋ̀: 23 и҆ ѿимꙋ̀ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀, и҆ тогда̀ ᲂу҆́зриши за̑днѧѧ моѧ̑: лице́ же моѐ не ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ тебѣ̀.

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.

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 …
