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 по си́хъ вни́де мѡѷсе́й и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ къ фараѡ́нꙋ и҆ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: ѿпꙋстѝ лю́ди моѧ̑, да пра́здникъ сотворѧ́тъ мнѣ̀ въ пꙋсты́ни.
1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
2 Рече́ же фараѡ́нъ: кто́ є҆сть, є҆гѡ́же послꙋ́шаю гла́са, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿпꙋсти́ти и҆́мамъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы; не вѣ́мъ гдⷭ҇а, и҆ і҆и҃лѧ не ѿпꙋщꙋ̀.
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
3 И҆ глаго́лютъ є҆мꙋ̀: бг҃ъ є҆вре́йскїй призва̀ на́съ: по́йдемъ ᲂу҆̀бо пꙋте́мъ тре́хъ дні́й въ пꙋсты́ню, да пожре́мъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ, да не когда̀ слꙋчи́тсѧ на́мъ сме́рть и҆лѝ ᲂу҆бі́йство.
3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
4 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ ца́рь є҆гѵ́петскїй: вскꙋ́ю, мѡѷсе́й и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ, развраща́ете лю́ди моѧ̑ ѿ дѣ́лъ и҆́хъ; и҆ди́те кі́йждо ва́съ на дѣла̀ своѧ̑.
4 The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5 И҆ речѐ фараѡ́нъ: сѐ, нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆мно́жишасѧ лю́дїе сі́и на землѝ: ᲂу҆̀бо не дади́мъ почи́ти и҆̀мъ ѿ дѣ́лъ.
5 Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6 Заповѣ́да же фараѡ́нъ приста́вникѡмъ дѣ́лъ людски́хъ и҆ книго́чїѧмъ, глаго́лѧ:
6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
7 не ктомꙋ̀ приложи́те даѧ́ти пле́въ лю́демъ къ плїнѳодѣ́ланїю, ꙗ҆́коже вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ: но са́ми да и҆́дꙋтъ и҆ собира́ютъ пле́вы себѣ̀:
7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 и҆ ᲂу҆ро́къ плїнѳодѣ́ланїѧ, є҆́же ѻ҆нѝ творѧ́тъ, на кі́йждо де́нь наложи́те и҆̀мъ: не ᲂу҆е́млите ничто́же: пра́здни бо сꙋ́ть: сегѡ̀ ра́ди возопи́ша, глаго́люще: да по́йдемъ, и҆ пожре́мъ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ:
8 You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 да ѡ҆тѧгча́тсѧ дѣла̀ люді́й си́хъ, и҆ да пекꙋ́тсѧ ѡ҆ ни́хъ, и҆ не помы́слѧтъ ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ сꙋ́етныхъ.
9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10 Понꙋжда́хꙋ же и҆̀хъ приста̑вницы и҆ книгѡ́чїѧ и҆ глаго́лахꙋ лю́демъ, рекꙋ́ще: сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ фараѡ́нъ: не ктомꙋ̀ даю̀ ва́мъ пле́въ:
10 The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11 са́ми вы̀ ше́дше собира́йте себѣ̀ пле́вы, и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щете: и҆́бо не бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆ѧ́то ѿ ᲂу҆ро́ка ва́шегѡ ничто́же.
11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
12 И҆ разыдо́шасѧ лю́дїе по все́й землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй собира́ти тро́стїе на пле́вы.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 Приста̑вницы же понꙋжда́хꙋ и҆̀хъ, глаго́люще: соверша́йте дѣла̀ ва̑ша ᲂу҆рѡ́чнаѧ на всѧ́къ де́нь, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ є҆гда̀ пле́вы даѧ́хомъ ва́мъ.
13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
14 И҆ бїе́ни бы́ша книгѡ́чїѧ ро́да сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆̀же бы́ша приста́влени над̾ ни́ми ѿ приста́вникѡвъ фараѡ́новыхъ, глаго́люще: почто̀ не соверши́сте ᲂу҆ро́ка ва́шегѡ плі́нѳеннагѡ, ꙗ҆́коже вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ, та́кожде и҆ дне́сь;
14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
15 Вше́дше же книгѡ́чїѧ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, возопи́ша къ фараѡ́нꙋ, глаго́люще: почто́ ты та́кѡ твори́ши рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ;
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16 пле́въ не даю́тъ рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ, и҆ плі̑нѳы на́мъ глаго́лютъ твори́ти: и҆ сѐ, рабѝ твоѝ мꙋ́чими сꙋ́ть: ѡ҆би́диши ᲂу҆̀бо люді́й твои́хъ.
16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: пра́здни, пра́здни є҆стѐ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди глаго́лете: да и҆́демъ, пожре́мъ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ:
17 But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
18 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо ше́дше дѣ́лайте: пле́въ бо не да́мъ ва́мъ, ᲂу҆ро́къ же дѣ́ланїѧ плі́нѳеннагѡ да ѿдаетѐ.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
19 Ви́дѧхꙋ же книгѡ́чїи сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ себѐ во ѕлы́хъ, глаго́люще: не ѡ҆ста́вите плїнѳодѣ́ланїѧ ᲂу҆ро́чнагѡ дню̀.
19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20 Срѣто́ша же мѡѷсе́а и҆ а҆арѡ́на, и҆дꙋ́щихъ во срѣ́тенїе и҆̀мъ, и҆сходѧ́щымъ и҆̀мъ ѿ фараѡ́на,
20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.
21 и҆ рѣ́ша и҆̀мъ: да ви́дитъ бг҃ъ и҆ сꙋ́дитъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆гнꙋси́сте дꙋ́хъ ва́шъ пред̾ фараѡ́номъ и҆ пред̾ рабы̑ є҆гѡ̀, да́ти ме́чь въ рꙋ́ки є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆би́ти на́съ.
21 They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 Возврати́сѧ же мѡѷсе́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ речѐ: молю́тисѧ, гдⷭ҇и, почто̀ ѡ҆ѕло́билъ є҆сѝ лю́ди сїѧ̑; и҆ вскꙋ́ю посла́лъ є҆сѝ мѧ̀;
22 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
23 и҆ ѿне́лѣже внидо́хъ къ фараѡ́нꙋ, глаго́лати твои́мъ и҆́менемъ, (ѻ҆́нъ) ѡ҆ѕло́би лю́ди сїѧ̑, и҆ не и҆зба́вилъ є҆сѝ люді́й твои́хъ.
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”

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).
This abased Pharaoh. For, "I know not," he saith, "the Lord," and he became inferior to flies and frogs, and the locusts, and after that with his very arms and horses was he drowned in the sea.
