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 Слы́ша же і҆а́кѡвъ словеса̀ сынѡ́въ лава́новыхъ, глаго́лющихъ: взѧ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ всѧ̑ ꙗ҆̀же ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ ѿ сꙋ́щихъ ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ сотворѝ всю̀ сла́вꙋ сїю̀.
1 Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”
2 И҆ ви́дѣ і҆а́кѡвъ лицѐ лава́не, и҆ сѐ не бѧ́ше къ немꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ.
2 Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3 Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ: возврати́сѧ въ зе́млю ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ въ ро́дъ тво́й, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ съ тобо́ю.
3 Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
4 Посла́въ же і҆а́кѡвъ, призва̀ лі́ю и҆ рахи́ль на по́ле, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́хꙋ стада̀,
4 Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
5 и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ви́ждꙋ а҆́зъ лицѐ ѻ҆тца̀ ва́шегѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть ко мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ: бг҃ъ же ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ бѣ̀ со мно́ю:
5 and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 и҆ вы̀ са́ми вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ все́ю си́лою мое́ю рабо́тахъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ ва́шемꙋ:
6 You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
7 ѻ҆те́цъ же ва́шъ ѡ҆би́дѣ мѧ̀ и҆ и҆змѣнѝ мздꙋ̀ мою̀ десѧтѝ а҆́гнцєвъ, но не дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ ѕла̀ сотвори́ти мнѣ̀.
7 Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me.
8 А҆́ще си́це рече́тъ: пє́стрыѧ, бꙋ́детъ твоѧ̀ мзда̀: и҆ родѧ́тсѧ всѧ̑ ѻ҆́вцы пє́стрыѧ. А҆́ще же рече́тъ: бѣ̑лыѧ, бꙋ́детъ твоѧ̀ мзда̀: и҆ родѧ́тсѧ всѧ̑ ѻ҆́вцы бѣ̑лыѧ.
8 If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
9 И҆ ѿѧ̀ бг҃ъ всѧ̑ скоты̀ ѻ҆тца̀ ва́шегѡ и҆ дадѐ ѧ҆̀ мнѣ̀.
9 Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me.
10 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ зачина́хꙋ ѻ҆́вцы во чре́вѣ прїе́млющѧ, и҆ ви́дѣхъ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма во снѣ̀: и҆ сѐ, козлы̀ и҆ ѻ҆вны̀ восходѧ́ще бѧ́хꙋ на ѻ҆́вцы и҆ ко́зы, бѣлова̑тыѧ и҆ пє́стрыѧ и҆ пепелови̑дныѧ пє́стрыѧ.
10 During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
11 И҆ рече́ ми а҆́гг҃лъ бж҃їй во снѣ̀: і҆а́кѡве. А҆́зъ же рѣ́хъ: что́ є҆сть;
11 The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’
12 И҆ речѐ: воззрѝ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма и҆ ви́ждь козлы̀ и҆ ѻ҆вны̀ восходѧ́щыѧ на ѻ҆́вцы и҆ ко́зы, бѣ̑лыѧ и҆ пє́стрыѧ и҆ пепелови̑дныѧ пє́стрыѧ: ви́дѣхъ бо, є҆ли̑ка тебѣ̀ лава́нъ твори́тъ:
12 He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
13 а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ ꙗ҆ви́выйсѧ тебѣ̀ на мѣ́стѣ бж҃їи, и҆дѣ́же пома́залъ мѝ є҆сѝ та́мѡ сто́лпъ, и҆ ѡ҆бѣтова́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ та́мѡ ѡ҆бѣ́тъ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо воста́ни и҆ и҆зы́ди ѿ землѝ сеѧ̀, и҆ и҆дѝ въ зе́млю рожде́нїѧ твоегѡ̀, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ съ тобо́ю.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”
14 И҆ ѿвѣща̑вши рахи́ль и҆ лі́а, реко́стѣ є҆мꙋ̀: є҆да̀ є҆́сть на́мъ є҆щѐ ча́сть и҆лѝ наслѣ́дїе въ домꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ;
14 Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
15 не ꙗ҆́кѡ ли чꙋжы́ѧ вмѣни́хомсѧ є҆мꙋ̀; продаде́ бо на́съ и҆ снѣдѐ снѣ́дїю сребро̀ на́ше:
15 Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.
16 всѐ бога́тство и҆ сла́ва, ю҆́же ѿѧ̀ бг҃ъ ѿ ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ, на́мъ бꙋ́детъ и҆ ча́дѡмъ на́шымъ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо, є҆ли̑ка тебѣ̀ речѐ бг҃ъ, творѝ.
16 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”
17 Воста́въ же і҆а́кѡвъ, взѧ̀ жєны̀ своѧ̑ и҆ дѣ́ти своѧ̑ на вельблю́ды,
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,
18 и҆ забра̀ всѧ̑ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ своѧ̑ и҆ всѧ̑ стѧжа̑нїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же притѧжа̀ въ месопота́мїи, и҆ всѧ̑ своѧ̑, є҆́же ѿитѝ ко і҆саа́кꙋ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ въ зе́млю ханаа́нскꙋю.
18 and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
19 Лава́нъ же ѿи́де ѡ҆стрищѝ ѻ҆́вцы своѧ̑: ᲂу҆кра́де же рахи́ль і҆́дѡлы ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀.
19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.
20 Оу҆таи́ же і҆а́кѡвъ ѿ лава́на сѵ́рїна, не повѣ́дати є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆хо́дитъ,
20 Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
21 и҆ ѿбѣжѐ са́мъ, и҆ всѧ̑ ꙗ҆̀же є҆гѡ̀, и҆ пре́йде рѣкꙋ̀, и҆ взы́де на горꙋ̀ галаа́дъ.
21 So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22 Повѣ́дасѧ же лава́нꙋ сѵ́рїнꙋ въ тре́тїй де́нь, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣжа̀ і҆а́кѡвъ:
22 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 и҆ пои́мъ сы́ны и҆ бра́тїю свою̀ съ собо́ю, гна̀ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ пꙋте́мъ се́дмь дні́й: и҆ дости́же є҆го̀ на горѣ̀ галаа́дъ.
23 He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
24 Прїи́де же бг҃ъ къ лава́нꙋ сѵ́рїнꙋ но́щїю во снѣ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: блюдѝ себѐ, да не когда̀ возглаго́леши ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ ѕла̑.
24 God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”
25 И҆ пости́же лава́нъ і҆а́кѡва: і҆а́кѡвъ же поста́ви кꙋ́щꙋ свою̀ на горѣ̀: лава́нъ же разста́ви бра́тїю свою̀ на горѣ̀ галаа́дъ.
25 Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.
26 Рече́ же лава́нъ і҆а́кѡвꙋ: что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ; вскꙋ́ю та́йнѡ ᲂу҆ше́лъ є҆сѝ и҆ ѡ҆кра́лъ є҆сѝ мѧ̀, и҆ ѿве́лъ дщє́ри моѧ̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ плѣ̑нницы ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ;
26 Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
27 и҆ а҆́ще бы мѝ повѣ́далъ є҆сѝ, ѿпꙋсти́лъ бы́хъ тѧ̀ съ весе́лїемъ и҆ съ мꙋсїкі́ею, и҆ тѷмпа̑ны и҆ гꙋ́сльми:
27 Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
28 и҆ не сподо́бихсѧ цѣлова́ти дѣте́й мои́хъ и҆ дще́рей мои́хъ: нн҃ѣ же несмы́сленнѡ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ:
28 and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.
29 и҆ нн҃ѣ рꙋка̀ моѧ̀ мо́жетъ ѡ҆ѕло́бити тѧ̀. Но бг҃ъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ вчера̀ речѐ ко мнѣ̀, гл҃ѧ: блюдѝ себѐ, да не когда̀ возглаго́леши ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ ѕла̑.
29 It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’
30 Нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо ѿше́лъ є҆сѝ: жела́нїемъ бо возжела́лъ є҆сѝ ѿитѝ въ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀: вскꙋ́ю ᲂу҆кра́лъ є҆сѝ бо́ги моѧ̑;
30 Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”
31 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆а́кѡвъ речѐ къ лава́нꙋ: поне́же ᲂу҆боѧ́хсѧ: рѣ́хъ бо, да не ка́кѡ ѿи́меши дщє́ри твоѧ̑ ѿ менє̀, и҆ всѧ̑ моѧ̑.
31 Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’
32 И҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ: ᲂу҆ негѡ́же а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щеши бо́ги твоѧ̑, да не бꙋ́детъ жи́въ пред̾ бра́тїею на́шею: ᲂу҆знава́й, что̀ є҆́сть твоегѡ̀ ᲂу҆ менє̀, и҆ возмѝ. И҆ не позна̀ ᲂу҆ негѡ̀ ничто́же: не вѣ́дѧше же і҆а́кѡвъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рахи́ль жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆кра́де ѧ҆̀.
32 Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Вше́дъ же лава́нъ, ѡ҆б̾иска̀ въ кꙋ́щи лі́инѣ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́те. И҆ и҆зы́де и҆з̾ кꙋ́щи лі́ины, и҆ ѡ҆б̾иска̀ кꙋ́щꙋ і҆а́кѡвлю и҆ въ кꙋ́щи двои́хъ рабы́нь, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́те. Вни́де же и҆ въ кꙋ́щꙋ рахи́линꙋ.
33 Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
34 Рахи́ль же взѧ̀ і҆́дѡлы и҆ положѝ ѡ҆́ныѧ под̾ сѣдло̀ вельблю́же и҆ сѣ́де на ни́хъ,
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them.
35 и҆ речѐ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: не и҆мѣ́й себѣ̀ тѧ́жкѡ, господи́не: не могꙋ̀ воста́ти пред̾ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆бы̑чнаѧ жє́нскаѧ мѝ сꙋ́ть. И҆ска́ же лава́нъ по все́й кꙋ́щи, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́те і҆́дѡлѡвъ.
35 She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.
36 Разгнѣ́васѧ же і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ прѧ́шесѧ съ лава́номъ. Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆а́кѡвъ речѐ лава́нꙋ: ка́ѧ непра́вда моѧ̀; и҆ кі́й грѣ́хъ мо́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ погна́лъ є҆сѝ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀,
36 Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?
37 и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆б̾иска́лъ є҆сѝ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды до́мꙋ моегѡ̀; что̀ ѡ҆брѣ́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ всѣ́хъ сосꙋ́дѡвъ до́мꙋ твоегѡ̀; положѝ здѣ̀ пред̾ бра́тїею твое́ю и҆ бра́тїею мое́ю, и҆ да разсꙋ́дѧтъ междꙋ̀ ѻ҆бѣ́ма на́ма:
37 Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.
38 сѐ, два́десѧть лѣ́тъ а҆́зъ є҆́смь съ тобо́ю: ѻ҆́вцы твоѧ̑ и҆ ко́зы твоѧ̑ не бы́ша без̾ плода̀: ѻ҆внѡ́въ ѻ҆ве́цъ твои́хъ не поѧдо́хъ:
38 “These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.
39 ѕвѣроѧ́дины не принесо́хъ къ тебѣ̀: а҆́зъ воздаѧ́хъ тебѣ̀ ѿ менє̀ сама́гѡ татбины̑ дєнны́ѧ и҆ татбины̑ нѡщны́ѧ:
39 That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 бы́хъ во днѝ жего́мь зно́емъ, и҆ стꙋ́денїю въ нощѝ, и҆ ѿхожда́ше со́нъ ѿ ѻ҆́чїю моє́ю:
40 This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.
41 сѐ, мнѣ̀ два́десѧть лѣ́тъ а҆́зъ є҆́смь въ домꙋ̀ твое́мъ, рабо́тахъ тебѣ̀ четырена́десѧть лѣ́тъ двꙋ́хъ ра́ди дще́рей твои́хъ и҆ ше́сть лѣ́тъ за ѻ҆́вцы твоѧ̑, и҆ преѡби́дѣлъ є҆сѝ мздꙋ̀ мою̀ десѧтїю̀ а҆́гницами:
41 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
42 а҆́ще не бы̀ бг҃ъ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ а҆враа́ма, и҆ стра́хъ і҆саа́ка бы́лъ мнѣ̀, нн҃ѣ тща̀ ѿпꙋсти́лъ бы мѧ̀ є҆сѝ: смире́нїе моѐ и҆ трꙋ́дъ рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю ᲂу҆ви́дѣ бг҃ъ, и҆ ѡ҆бличи́ тѧ вчера̀.
42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”
43 Ѿвѣща́въ же лава́нъ, речѐ ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ: дщє́ри дщє́ри моѧ̑ и҆ сы́нове сы́нове моѝ, и҆ ско́ти ско́ти моѝ, и҆ всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка ты̀ ви́диши моѧ̑ сꙋ́ть и҆ дще́рей мои́хъ: что̀ сотворю̀ и҆̀мъ дне́сь, и҆лѝ ча́дѡмъ и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же роди́ста;
43 Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! What can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?
44 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆́бѡ грѧдѝ, завѣща́имъ завѣ́тъ а҆́зъ и҆ ты̀: и҆ бꙋ́детъ во свидѣ́тельство междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю. Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ: сѐ, никто́же съ на́ми є҆́сть: ви́ждь, бг҃ъ свидѣ́тель междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю.
44 Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”
45 И҆ взе́мъ і҆а́кѡвъ ка́мень, поста́ви є҆го̀ въ сто́лпъ.
45 Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46 Рече́ же і҆а́кѡвъ бра́тїи свое́й: собери́те ка́менїе. И҆ собра́ша ка́менїе и҆ сотвори́ша хо́лмъ: и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша, и҆ пи́ша та́мѡ на холмѣ̀. Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ лава́нъ: хо́лмъ се́й свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю дне́сь.
46 Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.
47 И҆ прозва̀ є҆го̀ лава́нъ хо́лмъ свидѣ́тельства: і҆а́кѡвъ же прозва̀ хо́лмъ свидѣ́тель.
47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Рече́ же лава́нъ ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ: сѐ, хо́лмъ се́й и҆ сто́лпъ, є҆го́же поста́вихъ междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю, свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ хо́лмъ се́й и҆ свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ сто́лпъ се́й: сегѡ̀ ра́ди прозва́сѧ и҆́мѧ хо́лмъ свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ,
48 Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed
49 и҆ видѣ́нїе, є҆́же речѐ: да ви́дитъ бг҃ъ междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿи́демъ дрꙋ́гъ ѿ дрꙋ́га:
49 and Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
50 а҆́ще смири́ши дщє́ри моѧ̑, а҆́ще по́ймеши жєны̀ над̾ дщє́ри моѧ̑, ви́ждь, никто́же съ на́ми є҆́сть ви́дѧй: бг҃ъ свидѣ́тель междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ тобо́ю.
50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”
51 И҆ речѐ лава́нъ і҆а́кѡвꙋ: сѐ, хо́лмъ се́й свидѣ́тель и҆ сто́лпъ се́й:
51 Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
52 а҆́ще бо а҆́зъ не прейдꙋ̀ къ тебѣ̀, нижѐ ты̀ да пре́йдеши ко мнѣ̀ холма̀ сегѡ̀ и҆ столпа̀ сегѡ̀ со ѕло́бою:
52 May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
53 бг҃ъ а҆враа́мль и҆ бг҃ъ нахѡ́ровъ да сꙋ́дитъ междꙋ̀ на́ма. И҆ клѧ́сѧ і҆а́кѡвъ стра́хомъ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ і҆саа́ка,
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.
54 и҆ пожрѐ і҆а́кѡвъ же́ртвꙋ на горѣ̀ и҆ воззва̀ бра́тїю свою̀: ꙗ҆до́ша же и҆ пи́ша и҆ спа́ша на горѣ̀.
54 Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.
55 Воста́въ же лава́нъ заꙋ́тра, лобыза̀ сы́ны и҆ дщє́ри своѧ̑ и҆ благословѝ ѧ҆̀: и҆ возврати́всѧ лава́нъ, ѿи́де на мѣ́сто своѐ.
55 Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
