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: сѐ, да́хъ тѧ̀ бг҃а фараѡ́нꙋ, и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ бра́тъ тво́й бꙋ́детъ тво́й проро́къ:
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 ты́ же возглаго́леши є҆мꙋ̀ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка тебѣ̀ заповѣ́даю: а҆арѡ́нъ же бра́тъ тво́й возглаго́летъ къ фараѡ́нꙋ, да ѿпꙋ́ститъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы ѿ землѝ своеѧ̀:
2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 а҆́зъ же ѡ҆жесточꙋ̀ се́рдце фараѡ́ново и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жꙋ зна́мєнїѧ моѧ̑ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй:
3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 и҆ не послꙋ́шаетъ ва́съ фараѡ́нъ, и҆ возложꙋ̀ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀ на є҆гѵ́петъ и҆ и҆зведꙋ̀ съ си́лою мое́ю лю́ди моѧ̑ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ, со ѿмще́нїемъ вели́кимъ:
4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ всѝ є҆гѵ́птѧне, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь, простира́ѧ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀ на є҆гѵ́петъ, и҆ и҆зведꙋ̀ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы ѿ среды̀ и҆́хъ.
5 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
6 Сотвори́ же мѡѷсе́й и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь, та́кѡ сотвори́ша.
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
7 Мѡѷсе́й же бѣ̀ ѻ҆сми́десѧти лѣ́тъ, а҆арѡ́нъ же бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ ѻ҆сми́десѧти тре́хъ лѣ́тъ, є҆гда̀ глаго́ласта къ фараѡ́нꙋ.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю и҆ а҆арѡ́нꙋ гл҃ѧ:
8 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 и҆ а҆́ще рече́тъ къ ва́мъ фараѡ́нъ, глаго́лѧ: дади́те на́мъ зна́менїе и҆лѝ чꙋ́до: и҆ рече́ши а҆арѡ́нꙋ бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀: возмѝ же́злъ и҆ пове́ржи на зе́млю пред̾ фараѡ́номъ и҆ пред̾ рабы̑ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ ѕмі́й.
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
10 Вни́де же мѡѷсе́й и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ пред̾ фараѡ́на и҆ пред̾ рабы̑ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сотвори́ша та́кѡ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ пове́рже а҆арѡ́нъ же́злъ пред̾ фараѡ́номъ и҆ пред̾ рабы̑ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ бы́сть ѕмі́й.
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Созва́ же фараѡ́нъ мꙋдрецы̀ є҆гѵ́пєтскїѧ и҆ волхвы̀: и҆ сотвори́ша и҆ волсвѝ є҆гѵ́петстїи чарова́нїѧми свои́ми та́кожде:
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 и҆ поверго́ша кі́йждо же́злъ сво́й, и҆ бы́ша ѕмі́еве: и҆ пожрѐ же́злъ а҆арѡ́новъ ѻ҆́ныхъ жезлы̀.
12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 И҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ се́рдце фараѡ́не, и҆ не послꙋ́ша и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь.
13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
14 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: ѡ҆тѧгчи́сѧ се́рдце фараѡ́не, є҆́же не ѿпꙋсти́ти люді́й:
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 и҆дѝ къ фараѡ́нꙋ заꙋ́тра: сѐ, то́й и҆схо́дитъ на во́ды, и҆ бꙋ́ди срѣта́ѧ є҆го̀ на бре́зѣ рѣчнѣ́мъ: и҆ же́злъ ѡ҆браще́йсѧ въ ѕмі́ѧ возмѝ въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀,
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
16 и҆ рече́ши къ немꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ є҆вре́йскїй посла́ мѧ къ тебѣ̀, гл҃ѧ: ѿпꙋстѝ лю́ди моѧ̑, да мѝ послꙋ́жатъ въ пꙋсты́ни: и҆ сѐ, не послꙋ́шалъ є҆сѝ досе́лѣ:
16 You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
17 сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: по семꙋ̀ ᲂу҆вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, а҆́зъ ᲂу҆да́рю жезло́мъ, и҆́же въ рꙋцѣ̀ мое́й, по водѣ̀ рѣчнѣ́й, и҆ преложи́тсѧ въ кро́вь:
17 Yahweh says, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 и҆ ры̑бы, ꙗ҆̀же въ рѣцѣ̀, и҆зо́мрꙋтъ, и҆ возсмерди́тсѧ рѣка̀, и҆ не возмо́гꙋтъ є҆гѵ́птѧне пи́ти воды̀ ѿ рѣкѝ.
18 The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
19 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: рцы̀ а҆арѡ́нꙋ бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀: возмѝ же́злъ тво́й въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀, и҆ прострѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ на во́ды є҆гѵ́пєтскїѧ и҆ на рѣ́ки и҆́хъ и҆ на кла̑дѧзи и҆́хъ и҆ на є҆зе́ра и҆́хъ и҆ на всѧ́кое собра́нїе во́дъ и҆́хъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ кро́вь, и҆ бы́сть кро́вь по все́й землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй, въ древесѣ́хъ же и҆ въ ка́менїихъ.
19 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 И҆ сотвори́ша та́кѡ мѡѷсе́й и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ взе́мъ а҆арѡ́нъ же́злъ сво́й, ᲂу҆да́ри во́дꙋ рѣчнꙋ́ю пред̾ фараѡ́номъ и҆ пред̾ рабы̑ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ преложѝ всю̀ во́дꙋ рѣчнꙋ́ю въ кро́вь:
20 Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 и҆ ры̑бы ꙗ҆̀же въ рѣцѣ̀ и҆зомро́ша, и҆ возсмердѣ́сѧ рѣка̀, и҆ не можа́хꙋ є҆гѵ́птѧне пи́ти воды̀ ѿ рѣкѝ, и҆ бѧ́ше кро́вь по все́й землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй.
21 The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Сотвори́ша же и҆ волсвѝ є҆гѵ́петстїи волхвова́нїѧми свои́ми та́кожде: и҆ ѡ҆жесточи́сѧ се́рдце фараѡ́ново, и҆ не послꙋ́ша и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
22 The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
23 Возврати́всѧ же фараѡ́нъ вни́де въ до́мъ сво́й, и҆ не положѝ себѣ̀ и҆ сегѡ̀ во ᲂу҆мѣ̀.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 И҆скопа́ша же всѝ є҆гѵ́птѧне ѡ҆́крестъ рѣкѝ, да пїю́тъ во́дꙋ: и҆ не можа́хꙋ пи́ти воды̀ ѿ рѣкѝ.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ се́дмь дні́й, по ᲂу҆даре́нїи гдⷭ҇ни въ рѣкꙋ̀.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.

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).
… says, "looking towards heaven, and observing the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and all the ornament of heaven, falling into error, thou shouldest adore and serve them." And Moses himself, being a man of God, was indeed given as a god before Pharaoh; but he is not properly termed Lord, nor is called God by the prophets, but …
For the magicians did likewise, and casting down their rods they exhibited serpents: but the serpent of Moses swallowed up the rods of all those magicians. Let there be perceived therefore even now the body of the devil: this is what is coming to pass, he is being devoured by the Gentiles who have believed, he hath become meat for …
