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 И҆ соверши́шасѧ не́бо и҆ землѧ̀, и҆ всѐ ᲂу҆краше́нїе и҆́хъ.
1 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 И҆ совершѝ бг҃ъ въ де́нь шесты́й дѣла̀ своѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ: и҆ почѝ въ де́нь седмы́й ѿ всѣ́хъ дѣ́лъ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ.
2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 И҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ бг҃ъ де́нь седмы́й, и҆ ѡ҆ст҃ѝ є҆го̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ въ то́й почѝ ѿ всѣ́хъ дѣ́лъ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же нача́тъ бг҃ъ твори́ти.
3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 Сїѧ̀ кни́га бытїѧ̀ небесѐ и҆ землѝ, є҆гда̀ бы́сть, во́ньже де́нь сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ не́бо и҆ зе́млю,
4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5 и҆ всѧ́кїй ѕла́къ се́льный, пре́жде да́же бы́ти на землѝ, и҆ всѧ́кꙋю травꙋ̀ се́льнꙋю, пре́жде да́же прозѧ́бнꙋти: не бо̀ ѡ҆дождѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на зе́млю, и҆ человѣ́къ не бѧ́ше дѣ́лати ю҆̀:
5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 и҆сто́чникъ же и҆схожда́ше и҆з̾ землѝ и҆ напаѧ́ше всѐ лицѐ землѝ.
6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 И҆ созда̀ бг҃ъ человѣ́ка, пе́рсть (взе́мъ) ѿ землѝ, и҆ вдꙋ́нꙋ въ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ дыха́нїе жи́зни: и҆ бы́сть человѣ́къ въ дꙋ́шꙋ жи́вꙋ.
7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 И҆ насадѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ра́й во є҆де́мѣ на восто́цѣхъ, и҆ введѐ та́мѡ человѣ́ка, є҆го́же созда̀.
8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 И҆ прозѧбѐ бг҃ъ є҆щѐ ѿ землѝ всѧ́кое дре́во кра́сное въ видѣ́нїе и҆ до́брое въ снѣ́дь: и҆ дре́во жи́зни посредѣ̀ раѧ̀, и҆ дре́во є҆́же вѣ́дѣти разꙋмѣ́тельное до́брагѡ и҆ лꙋка́вагѡ.
9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Рѣка́ же и҆схо́дитъ и҆з̾ є҆де́ма напаѧ́ти ра́й: ѿтꙋ́дꙋ разлꙋча́етсѧ въ четы́ри нача̑ла.
10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 И҆́мѧ є҆ди́нѣй фїсѡ́нъ: сїѧ̀ ѡ҆крꙋжа́ющаѧ всю̀ зе́млю є҆ѵїла́тскꙋю: та́мѡ ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́сть зла́то.
11 The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 Зла́то же ѻ҆́ныѧ землѝ до́брое: и҆ та́мѡ є҆́сть а҆́нѳраѯъ и҆ ка́мень зеле́ный.
12 and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 И҆ и҆́мѧ рѣцѣ̀ вторѣ́й геѡ́нъ: сїѧ̀ ѡ҆крꙋжа́ющаѧ всю̀ зе́млю є҆ѳїо́пскꙋю.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 И҆ рѣка̀ тре́тїѧ ті́гръ: сїѧ̀ проходѧ́щаѧ прѧ́мѡ а҆ссѷрі́ѡмъ. Рѣка́ же четве́ртаѧ є҆ѵфра́тъ.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 И҆ взѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ человѣ́ка, є҆го́же созда̀, и҆ введѐ є҆го̀ въ ра́й сла́дости, дѣ́лати є҆го̀ и҆ храни́ти.
15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 И҆ заповѣ́да гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ а҆да́мꙋ, гл҃ѧ: ѿ всѧ́кагѡ дре́ва, є҆́же въ раѝ, снѣ́дїю снѣ́си:
16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 ѿ дре́ва же, є҆́же разꙋмѣ́ти до́брое и҆ лꙋка́вое, не снѣ́сте ѿ негѡ̀: а҆ во́ньже а҆́ще де́нь снѣ́сте ѿ негѡ̀, сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мрете.
17 but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
18 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ: не добро̀ бы́ти человѣ́кꙋ є҆ди́номꙋ: сотвори́мъ є҆мꙋ̀ помо́щника по немꙋ̀.
18 Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 И҆ созда̀ бг҃ъ є҆щѐ ѿ землѝ всѧ̑ ѕвѣ̑ри сє́льныѧ и҆ всѧ̑ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ, и҆ приведѐ ѧ҆̀ ко а҆да́мꙋ ви́дѣти, что̀ нарече́тъ ѧ҆̀: и҆ всѧ́ко є҆́же а҆́ще наречѐ а҆да́мъ дꙋ́шꙋ жи́вꙋ, сїѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
20 И҆ наречѐ а҆да́мъ и҆мена̀ всѣ̑мъ скотѡ́мъ, и҆ всѣ̑мъ пти́цамъ небє́снымъ, и҆ всѣ̑мъ ѕвѣрє́мъ зємны́мъ. А҆да́мꙋ же не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ помо́щникъ подо́бный є҆мꙋ̀.
20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 И҆ наложѝ бг҃ъ и҆зстꙋпле́нїе на а҆да́ма, и҆ ᲂу҆́спе: и҆ взѧ̀ є҆ди́но ѿ ре́бръ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆спо́лни пло́тїю вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀.
21 Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 И҆ созда̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ребро̀, є҆́же взѧ̀ ѿ а҆да́ма, въ женꙋ̀, и҆ приведѐ ю҆̀ ко а҆да́мꙋ.
22 Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 И҆ речѐ а҆да́мъ: сѐ, нн҃ѣ ко́сть ѿ косте́й мои́хъ и҆ пло́ть ѿ пло́ти моеѧ̀: сїѧ̀ нарече́тсѧ жена̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ мꙋ́жа своегѡ̀ взѧта̀ бы́сть сїѧ̀.
23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ста́витъ человѣ́къ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀ и҆ ма́терь и҆ прилѣпи́тсѧ къ женѣ̀ свое́й, и҆ бꙋ́дета два̀ въ пло́ть є҆ди́нꙋ.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 И҆ бѣ́ста ѻ҆́ба на̑га, а҆да́мъ же и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не стыдѧ́стасѧ.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.

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).
Envy has alienated wives from their husbands, and changed that saying of our father Adam, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh." Envy and strife have overthrown great cities and rooted up mighty nations.
Wherefore also the prophetic word declares of the first-formed man, "He became a living soul," teaching us that by the participation of life the soul became alive; so that the soul, and the life which it possesses, must be understood as being separate existences.
And hereby, in Thy Word, not the depth of the sea, but the earth parted from the bitterness of the waters, bringeth forth not the creeping and flying creature that hath life, but the living soul itself. For now hath it no longer need of baptism, as the heathen have, and as itself had when it was covered with the …

As then Moses calleth it the book of heaven and earth, although he hath not discoursed of heaven and earth only, but also of all things that are in the midst thereof; so also this man hath named his book from that which is the sum of all the great things done.
