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 Воззрѣ́въ же і҆а́кѡвъ ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма, ви́дѣ: и҆ сѐ, и҆са́ѵъ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ды́й, и҆ четы́риста мꙋже́й съ ни́мъ. И҆ раздѣлѝ і҆а́кѡвъ дѣ́ти лі́и и҆ рахи́ли и҆ двꙋ́мъ рабы́нѧмъ,
1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
2 и҆ поста́ви ѻ҆́бѣ рабы̑ни и҆ сы́ны и҆́хъ въ пе́рвыхъ, лі́ю же и҆ дѣ́ти є҆ѧ̀ позадѝ, а҆ рахи́ль и҆ і҆ѡ́сифа въ послѣ́днихъ:
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 са́мъ же и҆зы́де пе́рвѣе пред̾ ни́ми и҆ поклони́сѧ до землѝ седми́жды, до́ндеже прибли́жисѧ къ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀.
3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 И҆ притечѐ и҆са́ѵъ во срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ ѡ҆б̾е́мь є҆го̀, припадѐ на вы́ю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆блобыза̀ є҆го̀: и҆ пла́кастасѧ ѻ҆́ба.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
5 И҆ воззрѣ́въ и҆са́ѵъ, ви́дѣ жєны̀ и҆ дѣ́ти и҆ речѐ: что̀ сі́и тебѣ̀ сꙋ́ть; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: дѣ́ти, и҆́миже поми́лова бг҃ъ раба̀ твоего̀.
5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 И҆ пристꙋпи́ша рабы̑ни и҆ дѣ́ти и҆́хъ и҆ поклони́шасѧ:
6 Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 и҆ пристꙋпѝ лі́а и҆ дѣ́ти є҆ѧ̀ и҆ поклони́шасѧ: посе́мъ же пристꙋпѝ рахи́ль и҆ і҆ѡ́сифъ и҆ поклони́стасѧ.
7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 И҆ речѐ: что̀ сїѧ̑ тебѣ̀ сꙋ́ть, полцы̀ сі́и всѝ, ꙗ҆̀же срѣто́хъ; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: да ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ ра́бъ тво́й благода́ть пред̾ тобо́ю, господи́не.
8 Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9 Рече́ же и҆са́ѵъ: сꙋ́ть мнѣ̀ мнѡ́га, бра́те: да бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ твоѧ̑.
9 Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
10 И҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ: а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ тобо́ю, прїимѝ да́ры ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю: сегѡ̀ ра́ди ви́дѣхъ лицѐ твоѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы а҆́ще кто̀ ви́дѣлъ лицѐ бж҃їе: и҆ возблаговоли́ши ѡ҆ мнѣ̀:
10 Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11 прїимѝ благослове́нїе моѐ, є҆́же принесо́хъ тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ поми́лова мѧ̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ сꙋ́ть мѝ всѧ̑. И҆ принꙋ́ди є҆го̀, и҆ взѧ̀.
11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
12 И҆ речѐ: воста́вше по́йдемъ прѧ́мѡ.
12 Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”
13 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀: господи́нъ мо́й вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ дѣ́ти моѝ ю҆́ны, ѻ҆́вцы же и҆ говѧ̑да бре́мєнны ᲂу҆ менє̀: а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо поженꙋ̀ ѧ҆̀ є҆ди́нъ де́нь, и҆́змретъ ве́сь ско́тъ:
13 Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
14 да пред̾и́детъ господи́нъ мо́й пред̾ рабо́мъ свои́мъ: а҆́зъ же ᲂу҆крѣплю́сѧ на пꙋтѝ ᲂу҆медле́нїемъ ше́ствїѧ моегѡ̀, є҆́же предо мно́ю, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже возмо́гꙋтъ и҆тѝ дѣ́ти, до́ндеже прїидꙋ̀ къ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ въ сиі́ръ.
14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
15 И҆ речѐ и҆са́ѵъ: ѡ҆ста́влю съ тобо́ю ѿ люді́й сꙋ́щихъ со мно́ю. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: вскꙋ́ю сїѐ; довлѣ́етъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ тобо́ю, господи́не.
15 Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 Возврати́сѧ же и҆са́ѵъ въ то́мъ днѝ пꙋте́мъ свои́мъ въ сиі́ръ:
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 и҆ і҆а́кѡвъ по́йде въ кꙋ́щы, и҆ поста́ви себѣ̀ та́мѡ хра̑мины, и҆ скотꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ сотворѝ кꙋ́щы: сегѡ̀ ра́ди наречѐ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ кꙋ́щы.
17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 И҆ прїи́де і҆а́кѡвъ въ сали́мъ гра́дъ сїкі́мскъ, и҆́же є҆́сть въ землѝ ханаа́нстѣй, є҆гда̀ прїи́де ѿ месопота́мїи сѵ́рскїѧ, и҆ ста̀ пред̾ лице́мъ гра́да:
18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
19 и҆ кꙋпѝ ча́сть села̀, и҆дѣ́же поста́ви кꙋ́щꙋ свою̀ та́мѡ, ᲂу҆ є҆ммѡ́ра ѻ҆тца̀ сѷхе́млѧ, стома̀ а҆́гнцы:
19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20 и҆ поста́ви та́мѡ же́ртвенникъ, и҆ призва̀ бг҃а і҆и҃лева.
20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.

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).
… to have so come to pass; for those blessings which say, "Be lord over thy brother, and let thy father's sons worship thee," had no accomplishment in himself (how could they, he being in fear and trembling, and worshipping his brother over and over again? ), but in his offspring they had.
