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 припа́дъ і҆ѡ́сифъ на лицѐ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀, пла́касѧ (го́рькѡ) ѡ҆ не́мъ и҆ ѡ҆блобыза̀ є҆го̀:
1 Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2 и҆ повелѣ̀ і҆ѡ́сифъ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ погреба́телємъ погребстѝ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀. И҆ погребо́ша погреба́телїе і҆и҃лѧ.
2 Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ четы́редесѧть дні́й: та́кѡ бо и҆счислѧ́ютсѧ дні́е погребе́нїѧ: и҆ пла́касѧ є҆гѡ̀ є҆гѵ́петъ се́дмьдесѧтъ дні́й.
3 Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.
4 Є҆гда́ же преидо́ша дні́е пла́ча, глаго́ла і҆ѡ́сифъ ко вельмо́жамъ фараѡ́нѡвымъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ва́ми, рцы́те ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ во ᲂу҆́шы фараѡ́нꙋ, глаго́люще:
4 When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й заклѧ́ мѧ пре́жде сконча́нїѧ (своегѡ̀), глаго́лѧ: во гро́бѣ, є҆го́же и҆скопа́хъ себѣ̀ въ землѝ ханаа́ни, та́мѡ мѧ̀ погребѝ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо возше́дъ погребꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀ и҆ возвращꙋ́сѧ. И҆ реко́ша фараѡ́нꙋ по словесѝ і҆ѡ́сифовꙋ.
5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6 И҆ речѐ фараѡ́нъ ко і҆ѡ́сифꙋ: взы́ди, погребѝ ѻ҆тца̀ твоего̀, ꙗ҆́коже заклѧ́ тѧ.
6 Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
7 И҆ взы́де і҆ѡ́сифъ погребстѝ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀. И҆ совзыдо́ша съ ни́мъ всѝ рабѝ фараѡ̑ни и҆ старѣ̑йшины до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ всѝ старѣ̑йшины землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ,
7 Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 и҆ ве́сь до́мъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ве́сь до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ срѡ́дницы є҆гѡ̀: ѻ҆́вцы же и҆ волы̀ ѡ҆ста́виша въ землѝ гесе́мъ.
8 all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 И҆ совзыдо́ша съ ни́мъ и҆ колєсни́цы и҆ кѡ́нницы, и҆ бы́сть по́лкъ вели́къ ѕѣлѡ̀.
9 Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.
10 И҆ прїидо́ша на гꙋмно̀ а҆та́дово, є҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆б̾ ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ і҆ѻрда́на, и҆ рыда́ша є҆гѡ̀ рыда́нїемъ ве́лїимъ и҆ крѣ́пкимъ ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ сотворѝ пла́чь ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ се́дмь дні́й.
10 They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.
11 И҆ ви́дѣша жи́телїе землѝ ханаа́нскїѧ пла́чь на гꙋмнѣ̀ а҆та́довѣ и҆ рѣ́ша: пла́чь вели́къ се́й є҆́сть є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ. Сегѡ̀ ра́ди нарече́сѧ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ пла́чь є҆гѵ́петскъ, є҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆б̾ ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ і҆ѻрда́на.
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 И҆ сотвори́ша є҆мꙋ̀ та́кѡ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ.
12 His sons did to him just as he commanded them,
13 И҆ взѧ́ша є҆го̀ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ въ зе́млю ханаа́ню и҆ погребо́ша є҆го̀ въ пеще́рѣ сꙋгꙋ́бѣй, ю҆́же стѧжа̀ а҆враа́мъ пеще́рꙋ въ стѧжа́нїе гро́ба ѿ є҆фрѡ́на хетте́анина, прѧ́мѡ мамврі́и.
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.
14 И҆ возврати́сѧ і҆ѡ́сифъ во є҆гѵ́петъ, са́мъ и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ всѝ совозше́дшїи погребстѝ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀.
14 Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 Ви́дѣвше же бра́тїѧ і҆ѡ́сифѡвы, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́мре ѻ҆те́цъ и҆́хъ, рѣ́ша: да не когда̀ воспомѧне́тъ ѕло́бꙋ на́шꙋ і҆ѡ́сифъ и҆ воздаѧ́нїемъ возда́стъ на́мъ за всѧ̑ ѕла̑ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же показа́хомъ є҆мꙋ̀.
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
16 И҆ прише́дше ко і҆ѡ́сифꙋ реко́ша: ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й заклѧ̀ пре́жде кончи́ны своеѧ̀, глаго́лѧ:
16 They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,
17 та́кѡ рцы́те і҆ѡ́сифꙋ: ѡ҆ста́ви и҆̀мъ непра́вдꙋ и҆ грѣ́хъ и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋка̑ваѧ тебѣ̀ показа́ша: и҆ нн҃ѣ прїимѝ непра́вдꙋ рабѡ́въ бг҃а ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀. И҆ пла́касѧ і҆ѡ́сифъ, глаго́лющымъ и҆̀мъ къ немꙋ̀.
17 ‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 И҆ прише́дше къ немꙋ̀ реко́ша: сѐ, мы̀ тебѣ̀ рабѝ.
18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ і҆ѡ́сифъ: не бо́йтесѧ, бж҃їй бо є҆́смь а҆́зъ:
19 Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
20 вы̀ совѣща́сте на мѧ̀ ѕла̑ѧ, бг҃ъ же совѣща̀ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ во бл҃га̑ѧ, дабы̀ бы́ло ꙗ҆́коже дне́сь, и҆ препита́лисѧ бы лю́дїе мно́зи.
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
21 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: не бо́йтесѧ, а҆́зъ препита́ю ва́съ и҆ до́мы ва́шѧ. И҆ ᲂу҆тѣ́ши и҆̀хъ, и҆ глаго́ла и҆̀мъ по се́рдцꙋ и҆́хъ.
21 Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 И҆ всели́сѧ і҆ѡ́сифъ во є҆гѵ́птѣ са́мъ и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ве́сь до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ поживѐ і҆ѡ́сифъ лѣ́тъ сто̀ де́сѧть.
22 Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
23 И҆ ви́дѣ і҆ѡ́сифъ є҆фрє́мли дѣ́ти до тре́тїѧгѡ ро́да: и҆ сы́нове махі́ра сы́на манассі́ина роди́шасѧ при бе́дрѣхъ і҆ѡ́сифовыхъ.
23 Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
24 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡ́сифъ бра́тїи свое́й, глаго́лѧ: а҆́зъ ᲂу҆мира́ю, посѣще́нїемъ же посѣти́тъ ва́съ бг҃ъ и҆ и҆зведе́тъ ва́съ ѿ землѝ сеѧ̀ въ зе́млю, ѡ҆ не́йже клѧ́тсѧ бг҃ъ ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ а҆враа́мꙋ, і҆саа́кꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ.
24 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25 И҆ заклѧ̀ і҆ѡ́сифъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы, глаго́лѧ: въ посѣще́нїи, и҆́мже посѣти́тъ ва́съ бг҃ъ, совознеси́те и҆ кѡ́сти моѧ̑ ѿсю́дꙋ съ ва́ми.
25 Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
26 И҆ сконча́сѧ і҆ѡ́сифъ сы́й лѣ́тъ ста̀ десѧтѝ: и҆ погребо́ша є҆го̀, и҆ положи́ша въ ра́цѣ во є҆гѵ́птѣ.
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

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).
For the same Scripture speaks thus of Joseph: "And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all his father's house: and Joseph lived 110 years, and saw Ephraim's children of the third generation." That is, his great-grandson, the third from Ephraim; for the third generation means son, grandson, great-grandson.

Then it is added, "The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph's knees." And this is that grandson of Manasseh, and great-grandson of Joseph.
