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 Бы́сть же а҆вра́мꙋ лѣ́тъ де́вѧтьдесѧтъ де́вѧть: и҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ гдⷭ҇ь а҆вра́мꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ тво́й, благоꙋгожда́й предо мно́ю и҆ бꙋ́ди непоро́ченъ:
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.
2 и҆ положꙋ̀ завѣ́тъ мо́й междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ тобо́ю: и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жꙋ тѧ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀.
2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
3 И҆ падѐ а҆вра́мъ на лицы̀ свое́мъ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ, гл҃ѧ:
3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
4 и҆ а҆́зъ сѐ, завѣ́тъ мо́й съ тобо́ю, и҆ бꙋ́деши ѻ҆те́цъ мно́жества ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ:
4 “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 и҆ не нарече́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀ и҆́мѧ твоѐ а҆вра́мъ, но бꙋ́детъ и҆́мѧ твоѐ а҆враа́мъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆тца̀ мно́гихъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ положи́хъ тѧ̀:
5 Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 и҆ возращꙋ́ тѧ ѕѣлѡ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ положꙋ́ тѧ въ наро́ды, и҆ ца́рїе и҆з̾ тебє̀ и҆зы́дꙋтъ:
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
7 и҆ поста́влю завѣ́тъ мо́й междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ тобо́ю, и҆ междꙋ̀ сѣ́менемъ твои́мъ по тебѣ̀ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ, въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ченъ, да бꙋ́дꙋ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀:
7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.
8 и҆ да́мъ тебѣ̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀ зе́млю, въ не́йже ѡ҆бита́еши, всю̀ зе́млю ханаа́ню во ѡ҆держа́нїе вѣ́чное, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ.
8 I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”
9 И҆ речѐ бг҃ъ ко а҆враа́мꙋ: ты́ же завѣ́тъ мо́й соблюде́ши, ты̀ и҆ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ по тебѣ̀ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ.
9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.
10 И҆ се́й завѣ́тъ, є҆го́же соблюде́ши междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ ва́ми, и҆ междꙋ̀ сѣ́менемъ твои́мъ по тебѣ̀ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ: ѡ҆брѣ́жетсѧ ѿ ва́съ всѧ́къ мꙋ́жескъ по́лъ,
10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́жете пло́ть кра́йнюю ва́шꙋ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ въ зна́менїе завѣ́та междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ ва́ми.
11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
12 И҆ младе́нецъ ѻ҆смѝ дні́й ѡ҆брѣ́жетсѧ ва́мъ, всѧ́къ мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ въ родѣ́хъ ва́шихъ: и҆ домоча́децъ, и҆ кꙋ́пленый ѿ всѧ́кагѡ сы́на чꙋжда́гѡ, и҆́же нѣ́сть ѿ сѣ́мене твоегѡ̀: ѡ҆брѣ́занїемъ ѡ҆брѣ́жетсѧ домоча́децъ до́мꙋ твоегѡ̀ и҆ кꙋ́пленый.
12 He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.
13 И҆ бꙋ́детъ завѣ́тъ мо́й на пло́ти ва́шей въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ченъ.
13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 Неѡбрѣ́заный же мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ, и҆́же не ѡ҆брѣ́жетъ пло́ти кра́йнїѧ своеѧ̀ въ де́нь ѻ҆смы́й, погꙋби́тсѧ дꙋша̀ та̀ ѿ ро́да своегѡ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ завѣ́тъ мо́й разорѝ.
14 The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
15 И҆ речѐ бг҃ъ а҆враа́мꙋ: са́ра жена̀ твоѧ̀ не нарече́тсѧ и҆́мѧ є҆ѧ̀ са́ра, но са́рра бꙋ́детъ и҆́мѧ є҆́й:
15 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
16 блгⷭ҇влю́ же ю҆̀ и҆ да́мъ тебѣ̀ ѿ неѧ̀ ча́до: и҆ блгⷭ҇влю̀ є҆̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ въ ꙗ҆зы́ки, и҆ ца́рїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ и҆з̾ негѡ̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 И҆ падѐ а҆враа́мъ на лицѐ своѐ, и҆ посмѣѧ́сѧ, и҆ речѐ въ мы́сли свое́й, глаго́лѧ: є҆да̀ столѣ́тномꙋ (мꙋ́жꙋ) роди́тсѧ сы́нъ; є҆да̀ и҆ са́рра девѧти́десѧти лѣ́тъ (сꙋ́щи) роди́тъ;
17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”
18 Рече́ же а҆враа́мъ къ бг҃ꙋ: і҆сма́илъ се́й да живе́тъ пред̾ тобо́ю.
18 Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
19 Рече́ же бг҃ъ ко а҆враа́мꙋ: вои́стиннꙋ, сѐ, са́рра жена̀ твоѧ̀ роди́тъ тебѣ̀ сы́на, и҆ нарече́ши и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆саа́къ: и҆ поста́влю завѣ́тъ мо́й съ ни́мъ въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ченъ, да бꙋ́дꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ въ бг҃а и҆ сѣ́мени є҆гѡ̀ по не́мъ.
19 God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.
20 Ѡ҆ і҆сма́илѣ же сѐ послꙋ́шахъ тебѐ: и҆ сѐ блгⷭ҇ви́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ возращꙋ̀ є҆го̀, и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жꙋ є҆го̀ ѕѣлѡ̀: двана́десѧть ꙗ҆зы́ки роди́тъ: и҆ да́мъ є҆го̀ въ ꙗ҆зы́къ ве́лїй.
20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
21 Завѣ́тъ же мо́й поста́влю со і҆саа́комъ, є҆го́же роди́тъ тебѣ̀ са́рра, во вре́мѧ сїѐ, въ лѣ́то второ́е.
21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
22 Сконча́ же (бг҃ъ) гл҃ѧ къ немꙋ̀, и҆ взы́де бг҃ъ ѿ а҆враа́ма.
22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
23 И҆ поѧ̀ а҆враа́мъ і҆сма́ила сы́на своего̀, и҆ всѧ̑ домоча́дцы своѧ̑ и҆ всѧ̑ кꙋ́плєныѧ, и҆ ве́сь мꙋ́жескъ по́лъ мꙋже́й, и҆̀же въ домꙋ̀ а҆враа́мли, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́за пло́ть кра́йнюю и҆́хъ во вре́мѧ днѐ тогѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ.
23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
24 А҆враа́мъ же девѧти́десѧти девѧтѝ лѣ́тъ бѧ́ше, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆брѣ́за пло́ть кра́йнюю свою̀.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 І҆сма́илъ же сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ бѧ́ше лѣ́тъ трехна́десѧти, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆брѣ́за пло́ть кра́йнюю свою̀.
25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Во вре́мѧ (же) днѐ ѻ҆́нагѡ ѡ҆брѣ́засѧ а҆враа́мъ и҆ і҆сма́илъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀,
26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
27 и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ домоча́дцы (є҆гѡ̀) и҆ кꙋ́пленїи ѿ и҆норо́дныхъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́за ѧ҆̀.
27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

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).
For it declares: "God said unto Abraham, Every male among you shall be circumcised; and ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, as a token of the covenant between Me and you." This same does Ezekiel the prophet say with regard to the Sabbaths: "Also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that …
… handmaid's son, "when Abram was ninety years old and nine, God appeared to him, and said unto him, I am God; be well-pleasing in my sight, and be without complaint, and I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will fill thee exceedingly." Here there are more distinct promises about the calling of the nations in Isaac, that …

Being faithful in these things, he was sealed for righteousness, and received circumcision as a seal of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, having received a promise that he should be the father of many nations.

When it is said, "The male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people, because he hath broken my covenant," some may be troubled how that ought to be understood, since it can be no fault of the infant whose life it is said must perish; nor has the …
