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 воста̀ заꙋ́тра і҆исꙋ́съ, и҆ воздвиго́шасѧ и҆з̾ сатті́на, и҆ прїидо́ша до і҆ѻрда́на то́й и҆ всѝ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, и҆ ста́ша та́мѡ пре́жде не́же прейтѝ.
1 Joshua got up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel. They camped there before they crossed over.
2 И҆ бы́сть по трїе́хъ дне́хъ, проидо́ша книгѡ́чїѧ чрез̾ по́лкъ,
2 After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
3 и҆ заповѣ́даша лю́демъ, глаго́люще: є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆́зрите кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ, и҆ жерцы̀ на́шѧ, и҆ леѵі́ты воздвиза́ющыѧ є҆го̀, да воздви́гнетесѧ и҆ вы̀ ѿ мѣ́стъ ва́шихъ и҆ по́йдете в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀:
3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of Yahweh your God’s covenant, and the Levitical priests bearing it, then leave your place and follow it.
4 но пода́лѣе да бꙋ́детъ междꙋ̀ ва́ми и҆ ѻ҆́нымъ, є҆ли́кѡ двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы лакѡ́тъ ста́нете: не прибли́житесѧ къ немꙋ̀, да ᲂу҆вѣ́сте пꙋ́ть, по немꙋ́же по́йдете: не ходи́сте бо пꙋте́мъ тѣ́мъ ни вчера̀, ни тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measure—don’t come closer to it—that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.”
5 И҆ речѐ і҆исꙋ́съ къ лю́демъ: ѡ҆чи́ститесѧ наꙋ́трїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ заꙋ́тра сотвори́тъ въ ва́съ гдⷭ҇ь чꙋ̑днаѧ.
5 Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders among you.”
6 И҆ речѐ і҆исꙋ́съ къ жерцє́мъ: воздви́гните кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆ пред̾иди́те пред̾ людьмѝ. И҆ взѧ́ша жерцы̀ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆ и҆до́ша пред̾ людьмѝ.
6 Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and cross over before the people.” They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: въ се́й де́нь начина́ю возвыша́ти тѧ̀ пред̾ всѣ́ми сынмѝ і҆и҃левыми, да ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆́коже бѣ́хъ съ мѡѷсе́омъ, та́кѡ бꙋ́дꙋ и҆ съ тобо́ю:
7 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
8 и҆ нн҃ѣ заповѣ́ждь жерцє́мъ воздвиза́ющымъ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та, глаго́лѧ: є҆гда̀ вни́дете на ча́сть воды̀ і҆ѻрда́на, и҆ во і҆ѻрда́нѣ ста́нете.
8 You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”
9 И҆ речѐ і҆исꙋ́съ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ: пристꙋпи́те сѣ́мѡ, и҆ слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ва́шегѡ:
9 Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.”
10 въ си́хъ ᲂу҆вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь живѧ́й въ ва́съ и҆ потреблѧ́ѧй потреби́тъ ѿ лица̀ ва́шегѡ ханане́а и҆ хетте́а, и҆ ферезе́а и҆ є҆ѵе́а, и҆ гергесе́а и҆ а҆морре́а и҆ і҆евꙋсе́а:
10 Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.
11 сѐ, кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇а всеѧ̀ землѝ прехо́дитъ і҆ѻрда́нъ:
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
12 и҆збери́те себѣ̀ двана́десѧть мꙋже́й ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, є҆ди́наго ѿ коегѡ́ждо пле́мене,
12 Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
13 и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆гда̀ почі́ютъ но́зи жерцє́въ воздвиза́ющихъ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇а всеѧ̀ землѝ въ водѣ̀ і҆ѻрда́на, вода̀ і҆ѻрда́нова ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ, вода́ же низтекꙋ́щаѧ ста́нетъ.
13 It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”
14 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ воздви́гнꙋшасѧ лю́дїе ѿ кꙋ́щъ свои́хъ прейтѝ і҆ѻрда́нъ, жерцы́ же воздвиго́ша кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ пред̾ людьмѝ:
14 When the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people,
15 є҆гда́ же внидо́ша жерцы̀ воздви́жꙋще кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ во і҆ѻрда́нъ, и҆ но́зи жерцє́въ воздвиза́ющихъ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ ѡ҆мочи́шасѧ въ ча́сти воды̀ і҆ѻрда́на, і҆ѻрда́нъ же наполнѧ́шесѧ во всѧ̑ краи̑ своѧ̑, ꙗ҆́коже во дни̑ жа́твы пшени́цы:
15 and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
16 и҆ ста́ша во́ды текꙋ́щыѧ свы́ше, ста̀ ѡ҆гꙋстѣ́нїе є҆ди́но ѿлꙋчи́вшеесѧ дале́че ѕѣлѡ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀ ѿ а҆дамѝ гра́да да́же до страны̀ карїаѳїарі́ма: низтекꙋ́щаѧ же низтечѐ въ мо́ре а҆ра́вско, въ мо́ре сла́ное, до́ндеже до конца̀ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀.
16 the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.
17 И҆ лю́дїе стоѧ́хꙋ прѧ́мѡ і҆ерїхѡ́нꙋ. И҆ ста́ша жерцы̀ воздвиза́ющїи кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ на сꙋ́сѣ посредѣ̀ і҆ѻрда́на: и҆ всѝ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы прехожда́хꙋ по сꙋ́хꙋ, до́ндеже сконча́ша всѝ лю́дїе преходѧ́ще і҆ѻрда́нъ.
17 The priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.

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).
… when touched by the feet of the priests who bore the Ark, stood still from above with bridled stream, while it flowed down from below, where it ran on into the sea, until the whole people passed over, the priests standing on the dry ground. We know these things, but yet we should not imagine in this Psalm, to which …
