Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- 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.
- 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 И҆зы́де же а҆вра́мъ ѿ є҆гѵ́пта са́мъ и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка є҆гѡ̀, и҆ лѡ́тъ съ ни́мъ въ пꙋсты́ню.
1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
2 А҆вра́мъ же бѧ́ше бога́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀ скоты̑ и҆ сребро́мъ и҆ зла́томъ.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 И҆ и҆́де ѿню́дꙋже прїи́де, въ пꙋсты́ню до веѳи́лѧ, до мѣ́ста, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ кꙋ́ща пе́рвѣе, междꙋ̀ веѳи́лемъ и҆ междꙋ̀ а҆ггѐ,
3 He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 на мѣ́сто же́ртвенника, и҆дѣ́же сотворѝ є҆го̀ пе́рвѣе: и҆ призва̀ та́мѡ а҆вра́мъ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не.
4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.
5 И҆ лѡ́тꙋ ходѧ́щꙋ со а҆вра́момъ бѧ́хꙋ ѻ҆́вцы, и҆ волы̀, и҆ кꙋ́щы.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
6 И҆ не вмѣща́ше и҆̀хъ землѧ̀ жи́ти вкꙋ́пѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ и҆́хъ бѧ́хꙋ мнѡ́га: и҆ не можа́хꙋ жи́ти вкꙋ́пѣ.
6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
7 И҆ бы́сть ра́спрѧ междꙋ̀ пастꙋхи̑ скота̀ а҆вра́млѧ и҆ междꙋ̀ пастꙋхи̑ скота̀ лѡ́това: ханане́є же и҆ ферезе́є тогда̀ живѧ́хꙋ на землѝ (то́й).
7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
8 Рече́ же а҆вра́мъ лѡ́тꙋ: да не бꙋ́детъ ра́спрѧ междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю, и҆ междꙋ̀ пастꙋхи̑ твои́ми и҆ междꙋ̀ пастꙋхи̑ мои́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́цы бра́тїѧ мы̀ є҆смы̀:
8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
9 не се́ ли всѧ̀ землѧ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю є҆́сть; Ѿлꙋчи́сѧ ты̀ ѿ менє̀: а҆́ще ты̀ на лѣ́во, а҆́зъ на де́сно: а҆́ще же ты̀ на де́сно, а҆́зъ на лѣ́во.
9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
10 И҆ возве́дъ лѡ́тъ ѻ҆́чи своѝ, ви́дѣ всю̀ ѡ҆кре́стнꙋю странꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́нскꙋю, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̀ напаѧ́ема бѧ́ше водо́ю, пре́жде не́же низврати́ти бг҃ꙋ содо́мъ и҆ гомо́рръ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ра́й бж҃їй, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ землѧ̀ є҆гѵ́петска, да́же прїитѝ до зого́ра:
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
11 и҆ и҆збра̀ себѣ̀ лѡ́тъ всю̀ ѡ҆кре́стнꙋю странꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́нскꙋю, и҆ ѿи́де лѡ́тъ ѿ восто́ка: и҆ разлꙋчи́стасѧ кі́йждо ѿ бра́та своегѡ̀.
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another.
12 А҆вра́мъ же всели́сѧ въ землѝ ханаа́нстѣй, лѡ́тъ же всели́сѧ во гра́дѣ ѡ҆кре́стныхъ стра́нъ и҆ всели́сѧ въ содо́мѣ.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Человѣ́цы же сꙋ́щїи въ содо́мѣ ѕлѝ и҆ грѣ́шни пред̾ бг҃омъ ѕѣлѡ̀.
13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
14 Бг҃ъ же речѐ а҆вра́мꙋ, повнегда̀ разлꙋчи́тисѧ лѡ́тꙋ ѿ негѡ̀: воззрѝ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма и҆ ви́ждь ѿ мѣ́ста, и҆дѣ́же ты̀ нн҃ѣ є҆сѝ, къ сѣ́верꙋ, и҆ лі́вѣ, и҆ къ восто́кꙋ, и҆ мо́рю:
14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 ꙗ҆́кѡ всю̀ зе́млю, ю҆́же ты̀ ви́диши, тебѣ̀ да́мъ ю҆̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ во вѣ́ки,
15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
16 и҆ сотворю̀ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ земны́й: а҆́ще кто̀ мо́жетъ и҆счестѝ песо́къ земны́й, то̀ и҆ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ и҆зочте́тъ:
16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
17 воста́въ проидѝ зе́млю въ долготꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ въ широтꙋ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ тебѣ̀ да́мъ ю҆̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ во вѣ́къ.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
18 И҆ ѿсели́всѧ а҆вра́мъ, прише́дъ всели́сѧ ᲂу҆ дꙋ́ба мамврі́йскагѡ, и҆́же бѧ́ше въ хеврѡ́нѣ: и҆ созда̀ тꙋ̀ же́ртвенникъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

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).
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, [so that] if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." And again [the Scripture] saith, "God brought forth Abram, and spake unto him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars if thou be able to number them; …
For all the earth which thou seest, I will give to thee and to thy seed, even for ever." And again He says, "Arise, and go through the length and breadth of the land, since I will give it unto thee;" and [yet] he did not receive an inheritance in it, not even a footstep, but was always a stranger …
Arise, and walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it." It does not clearly appear whether in this promise that also is contained by which he is made the father of all nations.

Read the Scriptures, and thou shall find Abraham to have been a rich man. In order that thou mayest know, that not riches are blamed; Abraham had much gold, silver, cattle, household, was a rich man, and unto his bosom Lazarus, a poor man, was borne up.

It is certain that the poor man was carried into the bosom of Abraham: of Abraham himself Scripture saith that he had here very much gold and silver, and was rich on the earth. If every one that is rich is hurried away to be tormented, how could Abraham have gone before that poor man, so as to be ready …
