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 і҆а́кѡвъ и҆́де въ пꙋ́ть сво́й. И҆ воззрѣ́въ ви́дѣ по́лкъ бж҃їй воѡполчи́вшїйсѧ: и҆ срѣто́ша є҆го̀ а҆́гг҃ли бж҃їи.
1 Y JACOB se fué su camino, y saliéronle al encuentro ángeles de Dios.
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 Рече́ же і҆а́кѡвъ, є҆гда̀ ви́дѣ и҆̀хъ: по́лкъ бж҃їй се́й. И҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ полкѝ.
2 Y dijo Jacob cuando los vió: El campo de Dios es este: y llamó el nombre de aquel lugar Mahanaim.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Посла́ же і҆а́кѡвъ послы̀ пред̾ собо́ю ко и҆са́ѵꙋ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀ въ зе́млю сиі́ръ, въ странꙋ̀ є҆дѡ́мъ,
3 Y envió Jacob mensajeros delante de sí á Esaú su hermano, á la tierra de Seir, campo de Edom.
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 и҆ заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ глаго́лѧ: та́кѡ рцы́те господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ и҆са́ѵꙋ: та́кѡ глаго́летъ ра́бъ тво́й і҆а́кѡвъ: ᲂу҆ лава́на ѡ҆бита́хъ и҆ ᲂу҆ме́длихъ да́же до нн҃ѣ:
4 Y mandóles diciendo: Así diréis á mi señor Esaú: Así dice tu siervo Jacob: Con Labán he morado, y detenídome hasta ahora;
4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
5 и҆ бы́ша мѝ воло́ве и҆ ѻ҆слы̀ и҆ ѻ҆́вцы, и҆ рабѝ и҆ рабы̑ни: и҆ посла́хъ повѣ́дати господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ и҆са́ѵꙋ, дабы̀ ѡ҆брѣ́лъ ра́бъ тво́й благода́ть пред̾ тобо́ю.
5 Y tengo vacas, y asnos, y ovejas, y siervos y siervas; y envío á decirlo á mi señor, por hallar gracia en tus ojos.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6 И҆ возврати́шасѧ послы̀ ко і҆а́кѡвꙋ, глаго́люще: ходи́хомъ ко бра́тꙋ твоемꙋ̀ и҆са́ѵꙋ, и҆ сѐ, са́мъ и҆́детъ во срѣ́тенїе тебѣ̀, и҆ четы́риста мꙋже́й съ ни́мъ.
6 Y los mensajeros volvieron á Jacob, diciendo: Vinimos á tu hermano Esaú, y él también viene á recibirte, y cuatrocientos hombres con él.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 Оу҆боѧ́сѧ же і҆а́кѡвъ ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ въ недоꙋмѣ́нїи бѣ̀: и҆ раздѣлѝ лю́ди сꙋ́щыѧ съ собо́ю, и҆ волы̀ и҆ вельблю́ды и҆ ѻ҆́вцы на два̀ полка̑,
7 Entonces Jacob tuvo gran temor, y angustióse; y partió el pueblo que tenía consigo, y las ovejas y las vacas y los camellos, en dos cuadrillas;
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 и҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ: а҆́ще прїи́детъ и҆са́ѵъ на є҆ди́нъ по́лкъ и҆ и҆зсѣче́тъ и҆̀, бꙋ́детъ вторы́й по́лкъ во спасе́нїи.
8 Y dijo: Si viniere Esaú á la una cuadrilla y la hiriere, la otra cuadrilla escapará.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9 Рече́ же і҆а́кѡвъ: бг҃ъ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ а҆враа́ма и҆ бг҃ъ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ і҆саа́ка, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е, ты̀ рекі́й мѝ: и҆дѝ въ зе́млю рожде́нїѧ твоегѡ̀, и҆ бла́го тебѣ̀ сотворю̀:
9 Y dijo Jacob: Dios de mi padre Abraham, y Dios de mi padre Isaac, Jehová, que me dijiste: Vuélvete á tu tierra y á tu parentela, y yo te haré bien;
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
10 довлѣ́етъ мѝ ѿ всеѧ̀ пра́вды и҆ ѿ всеѧ̀ и҆́стины, ю҆́же сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀: съ жезло́мъ бо си́мъ преидо́хъ і҆ѻрда́нъ се́й, нн҃ѣ же бѣ́хъ въ два̀ полка̑:
10 Menor soy que todas las misericordias, y que toda la verdad que has usado para con tu siervo; que con mi bordón pasé este Jordán, y ahora estoy sobre dos cuadrillas.
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
11 и҆зми́ мѧ ѿ рꙋкѝ бра́та моегѡ̀, ѿ рꙋкѝ и҆са́ѵа: ꙗ҆́кѡ бою́сѧ а҆́зъ є҆гѡ̀, да не когда̀ прише́дъ ᲂу҆бїе́тъ мѧ̀ и҆ ма́терь съ ча́ды:
11 Líbrame ahora de la mano de mi hermano, de la mano de Esaú, porque le temo; no venga quizá, y me hiera la madre con los hijos.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
12 ты́ же ре́клъ є҆сѝ: бла́го тебѣ̀ сотворю̀ и҆ положꙋ̀ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ морскі́й, и҆́же не и҆зочте́тсѧ ѿ мно́жества.
12 Y tú has dicho: Yo te haré bien, y pondré tu simiente como la arena del mar, que no se puede contar por la multitud.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
13 И҆ спа̀ та́мѡ но́щи тоѧ̀, и҆ взѧ̀, ꙗ҆̀же и҆мѧ́ше да́ры, и҆ посла̀ и҆са́ѵꙋ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀:
13 Y durmió allí aquella noche, y tomó de lo que le vino á la mano un presente para su hermano Esaú:
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 ко́зъ двѣ́сти, козлѡ́въ два́десѧть, ѻ҆ве́цъ двѣ́сти, ѻ҆внѡ́въ два́десѧть,
14 Doscientas cabras y veinte machos de cabrío, doscientas ovejas y veinte carneros,
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 вельблю́дѡвъ дойны́хъ, и҆ жребѧ́тъ и҆́хъ три́десѧть, волѡ́въ четы́редесѧть, ю҆нцѡ́въ де́сѧть, ѻ҆слѡ́въ два́десѧть и҆ жребѧ́тъ де́сѧть:
15 Treinta camellas paridas, con sus hijos, cuarenta vacas y diez novillos, veinte asnas y diez borricos.
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16 и҆ дадѐ и҆̀хъ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, (ко́еждо) ста́до ѡ҆со́бѡ, и҆ речѐ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: и҆ди́те предо мно́ю, и҆ разстоѧ́нїе твори́те междꙋ̀ ста́домъ и҆ ста́домъ.
16 Y entrególo en mano de sus siervos, cada manada de por sí; y dijo á sus siervos: Pasad delante de mí, y poned espacio entre manada y manada.
16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
17 И҆ заповѣ́да пе́рвомꙋ глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще тѧ̀ срѧ́щетъ и҆са́ѵъ бра́тъ мо́й и҆ вопро́ситъ тѧ̀ глаго́лѧ: чі́й є҆сѝ, и҆ ка́мѡ и҆́деши, и҆ чїѧ̑ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же пред̾ тобо́ю и҆́дꙋтъ;
17 Y mandó al primero, diciendo: Si Esaú mi hermano te encontrare, y te preguntare, diciendo: ¿De quién eres? ¿y adónde vas? ¿y para quién es esto que llevas delante de ti?
17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
18 рече́ши: раба̀ твоегѡ̀ і҆а́кѡва: да́ры посла̀ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ и҆са́ѵꙋ: и҆ сѐ, са́мъ за на́ми (и҆́детъ).
18 Entonces dirás: Presente es de tu siervo Jacob, que envía á mi señor Esaú; y he aquí también él viene tras nosotros.
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
19 И҆ заповѣ́да пе́рвомꙋ, и҆ второ́мꙋ, и҆ тре́тїемꙋ, и҆ всѣ̑мъ пред̾идꙋ́щымъ в̾слѣ́дъ ста́дъ си́хъ глаго́лѧ: по словесѝ семꙋ̀ глаго́лите и҆са́ѵꙋ, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щете є҆го̀ вы̀,
19 Y mandó también al segundo, y al tercero, y á todos los que iban tras aquellas manadas, diciendo: Conforme á esto hablaréis á Esaú, cuando le hallareis.
19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 и҆ рцы́те: сѐ, ра́бъ тво́й і҆а́кѡвъ и҆́детъ за на́ми: рече́ бо: ᲂу҆крощꙋ̀ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ дара́ми пред̾идꙋ́щими є҆го̀, и҆ посе́мъ ᲂу҆зрю̀ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀: не́гли бо прїи́метъ лицѐ моѐ;
20 Y diréis también: He aquí tu siervo Jacob viene tras nosotros. Porque dijo: Apaciguaré su ira con el presente que va delante de mí, y después veré su rostro: quizá le seré acepto.
20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
21 И҆ пред̾идѧ́хꙋ да́ры пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀, са́мъ же преспа̀ тоѧ̀ но́щи въ полцѣ̀.
21 Y pasó el presente delante de él; y él durmió aquella noche en el campamento.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 Воста́въ же тоѧ̀ но́щи, поѧ̀ ѻ҆́бѣ жєны̀ (своѧ̑) и҆ ѻ҆́бѣ рабы̑ни и҆ є҆динона́десѧть сынѡ́въ свои́хъ, и҆ пре́йде бро́дъ і҆авѡ́къ:
22 Y levantóse aquella noche, y tomó sus dos mujeres, y sus dos siervas, y sus once hijos, y pasó el vado de Jaboc.
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 и҆ взѧ̀ и҆̀хъ, и҆ пре́йде пото́къ, и҆ преведѐ всѧ̑ своѧ̑.
23 Tomólos pues, y pasólos el arroyo, é hizo pasar lo que tenía.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Ѡ҆ста́сѧ же і҆а́кѡвъ є҆ди́нъ. И҆ борѧ́шесѧ съ ни́мъ чл҃вѣ́къ да́же до ᲂу҆́тра.
24 Y quedóse Jacob solo, y luchó con él un varón hasta que rayaba el alba.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
25 Ви́дѣ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мо́жетъ проти́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ прикоснꙋ́сѧ широтѣ̀ стегна̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ ѡ҆терпѐ широта̀ стегна̀ і҆а́кѡвлѧ, є҆гда̀ борѧ́шесѧ съ ни́мъ.
25 Y como vió que no podía con él, tocó en el sitio del encaje de su muslo, y descoyuntóse el muslo de Jacob mientras con él luchaba.
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
26 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: пꙋсти́ мѧ: взы́де бо зарѧ̀. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: не пꙋщꙋ̀ тебѐ, а҆́ще не блгⷭ҇ви́ши менѐ.
26 Y dijo: Déjame, que raya el alba. Y él dijo: No te dejaré, si no me bendices.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀: что́ ти и҆́мѧ є҆́сть; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: і҆а́кѡвъ.
27 Y él le dijo: ¿Cuál es tu nombre? Y él respondió: Jacob.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
28 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: не прозове́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀ и҆́мѧ твоѐ і҆а́кѡвъ, но і҆сра́иль бꙋ́детъ и҆́мѧ твоѐ: поне́же ᲂу҆крѣпи́лсѧ є҆сѝ съ бг҃омъ и҆ съ человѣ̑ки си́ленъ бꙋ́деши.
28 Y él dijo: No se dirá más tu nombre Jacob, sino Israel: porque has peleado con Dios y con los hombres, y has vencido.
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Вопроси́ же і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ речѐ: повѣ́ждь мѝ и҆́мѧ твоѐ. И҆ речѐ: вскꙋ́ю сїѐ вопроша́еши ты̀ и҆́мене моегѡ̀; є҆́же чꙋ́дно є҆́сть. И҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ є҆го̀ та́мѡ.
29 Entonces Jacob le preguntó, y dijo: Declárame ahora tu nombre. Y él respondió: ¿Por qué preguntas por mi nombre? Y bendíjolo allí.
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
30 И҆ прозва̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ ви́дъ бж҃їй: ви́дѣхъ бо бг҃а лице́мъ къ лицꙋ̀, и҆ сп҃се́сѧ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀.
30 Y llamó Jacob el nombre de aquel lugar, Peniel: porque vi á Dios cara á cara, y fué librada mi alma.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Возсїѧ́ же є҆мꙋ̀ со́лнце, є҆гда̀ пре́йде ви́дъ бж҃їй: ѻ҆́нъ же хрома́ше стегно́мъ свои́мъ.
31 Y salióle el sol pasado que hubo á Peniel; y cojeaba de su anca.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
32 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди не ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы жи́лы, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆терпѐ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть въ широтѣ̀ стегна̀, да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀: поне́же прикоснꙋ́сѧ широтѣ̀ стегна̀ і҆а́кѡвли жи́лы, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆терпѐ.
32 Por esto no comen los hijos de Israel, hasta hoy día, del tendón que se contrajo, el cual está en el encaje del muslo: porque tocó á Jacob este sitio de su muslo en el tendón que se contrajo.
32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.

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).
… eternal, and of right belongs eternally to Jerusalem the free mother, where the genuine people of Israel shall be: for this name is interpreted "Seeing God;" in the desire of which reward a pious life is to be led through faith in this miserable pilgrimage.

And said to Him, "I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me." When the conqueror was blessed by the Conquered, Christ was figured.

But this Jacob, when he received another name, heard the same words, "Thou shalt not be called Jacob, but Israel shalt thou be called." Search the Scriptures, and see how that he was always called both, both Jacob and Israel.
