1 Прїидо́ста же два̀ а҆́гг҃ла въ содо́мъ въ ве́черъ: лѡ́тъ же сѣдѧ́ше пред̾ враты̀ содо́мскими.

Рѣ́ша же: нѝ, но на сто́гнѣ почі́емъ. 3 И҆ принꙋ́ди ѧ҆̀, и҆ ᲂу҆клони́шасѧ къ немꙋ̀, и҆ внидо́ша въ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ сотворѝ и҆̀мъ ᲂу҆чрежде́нїе, и҆ ѡ҆прѣсно́ки и҆спечѐ и҆̀мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша. 4 Пред̾ спа́нїемъ же мꙋ́жїе гра́да содо́млѧне ѡ҆б̾идо́ша до́мъ, ѿ ю҆́ноши да́же до ста́рца, ве́сь наро́дъ вкꙋ́пѣ: 5 и҆ и҆ззыва́хꙋ лѡ́та, и҆ глаго́лахꙋ къ немꙋ̀: гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть мꙋ́жїе вше́дшїи къ тебѣ̀ но́щїю; и҆зведѝ ѧ҆̀ къ на́мъ, да бꙋ́демъ съ ни́ми. 6 И҆зы́де же лѡ́тъ къ ни̑мъ въ преддве́рїе, двє́ри же затворѝ за собо́ю. 7 Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: ника́коже, бра́тїе, не дѣ́йте ѕла̀: 8 сꙋ́ть же мѝ двѣ̀ дщє́ри, ꙗ҆̀же не позна́ша мꙋ́жа: и҆зведꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ къ ва́мъ, и҆ твори́те и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно є҆́сть ва́мъ: то́чїю мꙋжє́мъ си̑мъ не сотвори́те ѡ҆би́ды, тогѡ́ бо ра́ди внидо́ша под̾ кро́въ до́мꙋ моегѡ̀. 9 Рѣ́ша же є҆мꙋ̀: ѿидѝ ѿсю́дꙋ: прише́лъ є҆сѝ (сѣ́мѡ) ѡ҆бита́ти, є҆да́ ли и҆ сꙋ́дъ сꙋди́ти; нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо тѧ̀ ѡ҆ѕло́бимъ па́че, не́жели ѻ҆́ныхъ.

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.

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 again, referring to the destruction of the Sodomites, the Scripture says, "Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven." For it here points out that the Son, who had also been talking with Abraham, had received power to judge the Sodomites for their wickedness.
For after saying to them in the plural, "Behold, my lords, turn aside into your servant's house," etc., yet it is afterwards said, "And the angels laid hold upon his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, because the Lord was merciful unto him.

As says the Scripture: "And that night the elder went in and lay with her father; and Lot knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose." And the same thing took place in the case of the younger: "And he knew not," it is said, "when she slept with him, nor when she arose." Since, therefore, Lot knew …
And Lot said unto them, I pray thee, Lord, since thy servant hath found grace in thy sight," etc.
