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 А҆враа́мъ же бѧ́ше ста́ръ, заматерѣ́вшїй во дне́хъ: и҆ гдⷭ҇ь блгⷭ҇вѝ а҆враа́ма во всѣ́хъ.
1 Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 И҆ речѐ а҆враа́мъ рабꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ старѣ́йшемꙋ до́мꙋ своегѡ̀, ѡ҆блада́ющемꙋ всѣ́ми є҆гѡ̀: положѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ под̾ стегно̀ моѐ,
2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
3 и҆ закленꙋ́ тѧ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ нб҃сѐ и҆ бг҃омъ землѝ, да не по́ймеши сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ і҆саа́кꙋ жены̀ ѿ дще́рей ханане́йскихъ, съ ни́миже а҆́зъ живꙋ̀ въ ни́хъ:
3 I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4 но то́кмѡ на зе́млю мою̀, и҆дѣ́же роди́хсѧ, по́йдеши, и҆ ко пле́мени моемꙋ̀, и҆ по́ймеши женꙋ̀ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ і҆саа́кꙋ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.
4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 Рече́ же къ немꙋ̀ ра́бъ: є҆да̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ не восхо́щетъ и҆тѝ жена̀ в̾слѣ́дъ со мно́ю на зе́млю сїю̀, возвращꙋ́ ли сы́на твоего̀ въ зе́млю, ѿ неѧ́же и҆зше́лъ є҆сѝ;
5 The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
6 Рече́ же къ немꙋ̀ а҆враа́мъ: внемлѝ себѣ̀, да не возврати́ши сы́на моегѡ̀ ѻ҆на́мѡ.
6 Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
7 Гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ нб҃сѐ и҆ бг҃ъ землѝ, и҆́же поѧ́ мѧ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ и҆ ѿ землѝ, въ не́йже роди́хсѧ, и҆́же гл҃а мнѣ̀ и҆ и҆́же клѧ́сѧ мнѣ̀, гл҃ѧ: тебѣ̀ да́мъ зе́млю сїю̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀, то́й по́слетъ а҆́гг҃ла своего̀ пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ по́ймеши женꙋ̀ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ і҆саа́кꙋ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ:
7 Yahweh, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8 а҆́ще же не восхо́щетъ жена̀ поитѝ съ тобо́ю въ зе́млю сїю̀, чи́стъ бꙋ́деши ѿ заклѧ́тїѧ моегѡ̀: то́чїю сы́на моегѡ̀ не возвратѝ та́мѡ.
8 If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
9 И҆ положѝ ра́бъ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ под̾ стегно̀ а҆враа́ма господи́на своегѡ̀, и҆ клѧ́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆ словесѝ се́мъ.
9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 И҆ взѧ̀ ра́бъ де́сѧть вельблю̑дъ ѿ вельблю̑дъ господи́на своегѡ̀, и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ бла̑гъ господи́на своегѡ̀ съ собо́ю, и҆ воста́въ и҆́де въ месопота́мїю во гра́дъ нахѡ́ровъ:
10 The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11 и҆ поста́ви вельблю́ды внѣ̀ гра́да ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ водна́гѡ под̾ ве́черъ, є҆гда̀ и҆схо́дѧтъ (жєны̀) почерпа́ти воды̀,
11 He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
12 и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, бж҃е господи́на моегѡ̀ а҆враа́ма, бл҃гоꙋстро́й предо мно́ю дне́сь, и҆ сотворѝ млⷭ҇ть съ господи́номъ мои́мъ а҆враа́момъ:
12 He said, “Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 сѐ, а҆́зъ ста́хъ ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ водна́гѡ, дщє́ри же живꙋ́щихъ во гра́дѣ и҆схо́дѧтъ почерпа́ти воды̀:
13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 и҆ бꙋ́детъ дѣви́ца, є҆́йже а҆́зъ рекꙋ̀: преклонѝ водоно́съ тво́й, да пїю̀, и҆ рече́тъ мѝ: пі́й ты̀, и҆ вельблю́ды твоѧ̑ напою̀, до́ндеже напїю́тсѧ: сїю̀ ᲂу҆гото́валъ є҆сѝ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ і҆саа́кꙋ: и҆ по семꙋ̀ ᲂу҆вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ млⷭ҇ть съ господи́номъ мои́мъ а҆враа́момъ.
14 Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
15 И҆ бы́сть пре́жде не́же сконча́ти є҆мꙋ̀ глаго́лющꙋ во ᲂу҆мѣ̀ свое́мъ, и҆ сѐ, реве́кка и҆схожда́ше, ꙗ҆́же роди́сѧ ваѳꙋи́лꙋ, сы́нꙋ ме́лхи жены̀ нахѡ́ра, бра́та же а҆враа́млѧ, держа́щи водоно́съ на ра́мѣхъ свои́хъ:
15 Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
16 дѣви́ца же бѧ́ше доброзра́чна ѕѣлѡ̀: дѣ́ва бѣ̀, мꙋ́жъ не позна̀ є҆ѧ̀. Соше́дши же на кла́дѧзь, напо́лни водоно́съ сво́й и҆ взы́де.
16 The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Тече́ же ра́бъ во срѣ́тенїе є҆́й и҆ речѐ: напо́й мѧ̀ ма́лѡ водо́ю ѿ водоно́са твоегѡ̀.
17 The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
18 Сїѧ́ же речѐ: пі́й, господи́не. И҆ потща́сѧ, и҆ снѧ̀ водоно́съ на мы̑шца своѧ̑, и҆ напоѝ є҆го̀, до́ндеже напи́сѧ.
18 She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 И҆ речѐ: и҆ вельблю́дѡмъ твои̑мъ налїю̀, до́ндеже всѝ напїю́тсѧ.
19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
20 И҆ потща́сѧ, и҆ и҆спразднѝ водоно́съ въ пои́ло: и҆ течѐ па́ки на кла́дѧзь почерпнꙋ́ти воды̀, и҆ влїѧ̀ вельблю́дѡмъ всѣ̑мъ.
20 She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 Человѣ́къ же выразꙋмѣва́ше ю҆̀ и҆ помолчева́ше, да ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ, а҆́ще бл҃гоꙋстро́и бг҃ъ пꙋ́ть є҆мꙋ̀, и҆лѝ нѝ.
21 The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ преста́ша всѝ вельблю́ды пїю́ще, взѧ̀ человѣ́къ ᲂу҆серѧ̑зи зла̑ты вѣ́сомъ по дра́хмѣ и҆ два̀ запѧ̑стїѧ на рꙋ́ки є҆ѧ̀: де́сѧть златни́цъ вѣ́съ и҆́хъ.
22 As the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
23 И҆ вопросѝ ю҆̀ и҆ речѐ: чїѧ̀ є҆сѝ дще́рь; повѣ́ждь мѝ, а҆́ще є҆́сть ᲂу҆ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ мѣ́сто на́мъ вита́ти;
23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
24 Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: дще́рь ваѳꙋи́лева є҆́смь (сы́на) ме́лхина, є҆го́же родѝ нахѡ́рꙋ.
24 She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
25 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ плевы̀ и҆ сѣ́на мно́гѡ ᲂу҆ на́съ, и҆ мѣ́сто вита́ти.
25 She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
26 И҆ благослови́въ человѣ́къ, поклони́сѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ
26 The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.
27 и҆ речѐ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ господи́на моегѡ̀ а҆враа́ма, и҆́же не ѡ҆ста́ви пра́вды своеѧ̀ и҆ и҆́стины ѿ господи́на моегѡ̀: и҆ менѐ бл҃гоꙋстро́и гдⷭ҇ь въ до́мъ бра́та господи́на моегѡ̀.
27 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
28 И҆ те́кши дѣви́ца въ до́мъ ма́тере своеѧ̀, повѣ́да по глаго́лѡмъ си̑мъ.
28 The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
29 Реве́кцѣ же бѧ́ше бра́тъ, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ лава́нъ: и҆ течѐ лава́нъ къ человѣ́кꙋ во́нъ на кла́дѧзь.
29 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
30 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ви́дѣ ᲂу҆серѧ̑зи, и҆ запѧ̑стїѧ на рꙋкꙋ̀ сестры̀ своеѧ̀, и҆ є҆гда̀ слы́ша словеса̀ реве́кки сестры̀ своеѧ̀, глаго́лющїѧ: си́це глаго́ла мнѣ̀ человѣ́къ: и҆ прїи́де къ человѣ́кꙋ, стоѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆ вельблю̑дъ ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ,
30 When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31 и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: грѧдѝ, вни́ди бл҃гослове́нный ѿ гдⷭ҇а, почто̀ стои́ши внѣ̀; а҆́зъ же ᲂу҆гото́вахъ хра́минꙋ и҆ мѣ́сто вельблю́дѡмъ.
31 He said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
32 И҆ вни́де человѣ́къ въ до́мъ, и҆ разсѣдла̀ вельблю́ды, и҆ дадѐ плє́вы и҆ сѣ́но вельблю́дѡмъ, и҆ во́дꙋ ᲂу҆мы́ти но́зѣ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ но́ги мꙋжє́мъ, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ съ ни́мъ:
32 The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33 и҆ предложѝ и҆̀мъ хлѣ́бы ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ речѐ: не ꙗ҆́мъ, до́ндеже возглаго́лю словеса̀ моѧ̑. И҆ речѐ: глаго́ли.
33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
34 И҆ речѐ: ра́бъ а҆враа́мль є҆́смь а҆́зъ:
34 He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
35 гдⷭ҇ь же блгⷭ҇вѝ господи́на моего̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ возвы́сисѧ: и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆́вцы и҆ тельцы̀, сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, рабы̑ и҆ рабы̑ни, и҆ вельблю́ды и҆ ѻ҆слы̀:
35 Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. Yahweh has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36 и҆ родѝ са́рра, жена̀ господи́на моегѡ̀, сы́на є҆ди́наго господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀, состарѣ́вшемꙋсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, є҆ли̑ка и҆мѧ́ше:
36 Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
37 и҆ заклѧ́ мѧ господи́нъ мо́й, глаго́лѧ: не по́ймеши жены̀ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ ѿ дще́рей ханане́йскихъ, въ ни́хже а҆́зъ ѡ҆бита́ю въ землѝ и҆́хъ:
37 My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38 но въ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ по́йдеши, и҆ въ пле́мѧ моѐ, и҆ по́ймеши женꙋ̀ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ:
38 but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
39 рѣ́хъ же (а҆́зъ) господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀: а҆ є҆гда̀ не восхо́щетъ жена̀ со мно́ю и҆тѝ;
39 I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
40 и҆ рече́ ми: гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, є҆мꙋ́же благоꙋгоди́хъ пред̾ ни́мъ, ѻ҆́нъ по́слетъ а҆́гг҃ла своего̀ съ тобо́ю и҆ бл҃гоꙋстро́итъ пꙋ́ть тво́й, и҆ по́ймеши женꙋ̀ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ ѿ пле́мене моегѡ̀ и҆ ѿ до́мꙋ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀:
40 He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
41 тогда̀ бꙋ́деши чи́стъ ѿ заклина́нїѧ моегѡ̀: є҆гда́ бо до́йдеши въ пле́мѧ моѐ, и҆ не дадѧ́тъ тѝ, и҆ бꙋ́деши чи́стъ ѿ заклина́нїѧ моегѡ̀:
41 Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
42 и҆ прише́дъ дне́сь на кла́дѧзь, реко́хъ: гдⷭ҇и, бж҃е господи́на моегѡ̀ а҆враа́ма, а҆́ще ты̀ бл҃гоꙋстроѧ́еши пꙋ́ть мо́й, во́ньже нн҃ѣ а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀:
42 I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—
43 сѐ, а҆́зъ ста́хъ ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ водна́гѡ, и҆ дщє́ри гра́жданъ и҆схо́дѧтъ почерпа́ти воды̀: и҆ бꙋ́детъ дѣви́ца, є҆́йже а҆́ще а҆́зъ рекꙋ̀: напо́й мѧ̀ ѿ водоно́са твоегѡ̀ ма́лѡ водо́ю:
43 behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
44 и҆ рече́тъ мѝ: и҆ ты̀ пі́й, и҆ вельблю́дѡмъ твои̑мъ влїю̀: сїѧ̀ (бꙋ́детъ) жена̀, ю҆́же ᲂу҆гото́ва гдⷭ҇ь рабꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ і҆саа́кꙋ: и҆ по семꙋ̀ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ млⷭ҇ть господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ а҆враа́мꙋ.
44 then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master’s son.’
45 И҆ бы́сть пре́жде не́же сконча́ти мнѣ̀ глаго́лющꙋ во ᲂу҆мѣ̀ свое́мъ, а҆́бїе реве́кка и҆схожда́ше держа́щи водоно́съ на ра̑мꙋ, и҆ сни́де на кла́дѧзь, и҆ почерпѐ воды̀: и҆ реко́хъ є҆́й: напо́й мѧ̀.
45 Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46 И҆ потща́вшисѧ снѧ̀ водоно́съ съ себє̀ на мы́шцꙋ свою̀ и҆ речѐ: пі́й ты̀, и҆ вельблю́ды твоѧ̑ напою̀. И҆ напи́хсѧ, и҆ вельблю́ды моѧ̑ напоѝ.
46 She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
47 И҆ вопроси́хъ ю҆̀ и҆ реко́хъ: чїѧ̀ є҆сѝ дще́рь; повѣ́ждь мѝ. Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: дще́рь ваѳꙋи́лева є҆́смь сы́на нахѡ́рова, є҆го́же родѝ є҆мꙋ̀ ме́лха. И҆ да́хъ є҆́й ᲂу҆серѧ̑зи, и҆ запѧ̑стїѧ на рꙋ́цѣ є҆ѧ̀,
47 I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 и҆ благоволи́въ поклони́хсѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ: и҆ благослови́хъ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а господи́на моегѡ̀ а҆враа́ма, и҆́же бл҃гоꙋстро́и мѧ̀ на пꙋтѝ и҆́стины поѧ́ти дще́рь бра́та господи́на моегѡ̀ сы́нꙋ є҆гѡ̀:
48 I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
49 а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ сотворитѐ вы̀ ми́лость и҆ пра́вдꙋ къ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀: а҆́ще же нѝ, повѣ́дите мѝ: да ѡ҆бращꙋ́сѧ и҆лѝ на де́сно, и҆лѝ на лѣ́во.
49 Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”
50 Ѿвѣща̑вша же лава́нъ и҆ ваѳꙋи́лъ, реко́ста: ѿ гдⷭ҇а прїи́де дѣ́ло сїѐ: не возмо́жемъ тѝ проти́вꙋ рещѝ ѕло̀ и҆лѝ бла́го:
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
51 сѐ, реве́кка пред̾ тобо́ю: пое́мь ю҆̀, и҆дѝ: и҆ да бꙋ́детъ жена̀ сы́нꙋ господи́на твоегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”
52 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша ра́бъ а҆враа́мль словеса̀ сїѧ̑, поклони́сѧ до землѝ гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
52 When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.
53 И҆ и҆зне́съ ра́бъ сосꙋ́ды зла̑ты и҆ срє́брѧны и҆ ри̑зы, дадѐ реве́кцѣ: и҆ да́ры дадѐ бра́тꙋ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ ма́тери є҆ѧ̀.
53 The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
54 И҆ ꙗ҆до́ша и҆ пи́ша и҆ то́й и҆ мꙋ́жїе, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ съ ни́мъ, и҆ почи́ша. И҆ воста́въ заꙋ́тра, речѐ: ѿпꙋсти́те мѧ̀, да ѿидꙋ̀ къ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀.
54 They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
55 Рѣ́ша же бра́тїѧ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ ма́ти: да пребꙋ́детъ дѣви́ца съ на́ми ꙗ҆́кѡ де́сѧть дні́й, и҆ посе́мъ по́йдетъ.
55 Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
56 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ: не держи́те мѧ̀, гдⷭ҇ь бо бл҃гоꙋстро́и пꙋ́ть мо́й во мнѣ̀: ѿпꙋсти́те мѧ̀, да и҆дꙋ̀ къ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀.
56 He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
57 Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша: призове́мъ дѣви́цꙋ и҆ вопро́симъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆зоꙋ́стъ.
57 They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
58 И҆ призва́ша реве́ккꙋ и҆ рѣ́ша є҆́й: по́йдеши ли съ человѣ́комъ си́мъ; Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: пойдꙋ̀.
58 They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
59 И҆ ѿпꙋсти́ша реве́ккꙋ сестрꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ раба̀ а҆враа́млѧ, и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ бы́ша.
59 They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
60 И҆ благослови́ша реве́ккꙋ и҆ рѣ́ша є҆́й: сестра̀ на́ша є҆сѝ, бꙋ́ди въ ты́сѧщы тє́мъ, и҆ да наслѣ́дитъ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ гра́ды сꙋпоста̑тъ.
60 They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
61 Воста́вши же реве́кка и҆ рабы̑ни є҆ѧ̀, всѣдо́ша на вельблю́ды и҆ поидо́ша съ человѣ́комъ. И҆ пои́мъ ра́бъ реве́ккꙋ, ѿи́де.
61 Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 І҆саа́къ же прехожда́ше сквозѣ̀ пꙋсты́ню ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ видѣ́нїѧ: са́мъ же живѧ́ше на землѝ на полꙋ́дне.
62 Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
63 И҆ и҆зы́де і҆саа́къ поглꙋми́тисѧ на по́ле къ ве́черꙋ, и҆ воззрѣ́въ ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма, ви́дѣ вельблю́ды и҆дꙋ́щыѧ.
63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
64 И҆ воззрѣ́вши реве́кка ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма, ви́дѣ і҆саа́ка: и҆ и҆зскочѝ съ вельблю́да.
64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
65 И҆ речѐ рабꙋ̀: кто́ є҆сть человѣ́къ ѻ҆́ный, и҆́же и҆́детъ по по́лю во срѣ́тенїе на́мъ; Рече́ же ра́бъ: се́й є҆́сть господи́нъ мо́й. Ѻ҆на́ же взе́мши ри́зꙋ лѣ́тнюю, ѡ҆блече́сѧ.
65 She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
66 И҆ повѣ́да ра́бъ і҆саа́кꙋ всѧ̑ словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ.
66 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Вни́де же і҆саа́къ въ до́мъ ма́тере своеѧ̀, и҆ поѧ̀ реве́ккꙋ, и҆ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ жена̀: и҆ возлюбѝ ю҆̀, и҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́шисѧ і҆саа́къ по са́ррѣ ма́тери свое́й.
67 Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

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).
… take a wife for his son Isaac, we find it thus written: "And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his lord, and of all the goods of his lord, with him; and arose, and went into Mesopotamia, into the city of Nahor." This and other testimonies of this sacred history show that Nahor, Abraham's brother, had also …

… knew, that it was not offspring after the flesh he desired, nor anything of a carnal kind concerning his race that was referred to, he said to the servant whom he sent, "Put thy hand under my thigh, and swear by the God of heaven." What connection has the God of heaven with Abraham's thigh?
