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 речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: сѐ, а҆́зъ предаю̀ тебѣ̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ і҆ерїхѡ́нъ и҆ царѧ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сꙋ́щыѧ въ не́мъ, си̑льны крѣ́постїю:
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
2 и҆ ѡ҆бходи́те гра́дъ ѡ҆́крестъ всѝ мꙋ́жїе крѣ́пцыи є҆ди́ною (на де́нь), та́кѡ сотвори́те ше́сть дні́й:
2 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
3 и҆ се́дмь жерцы̀ да во́змꙋтъ се́дмь трꙋ́бъ ро́жаныхъ пред̾ кївѡ́томъ: и҆ въ седмы́й де́нь ѡ҆б̾иди́те гра́дъ седми́жды, и҆ жерцы̀ да вострꙋ́бѧтъ въ трꙋбы̑ рѡ́жаны:
3 All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
4 и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆гда̀ вострꙋ́бите трꙋбо́ю ро́жаною, внегда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шати ва́мъ гла́съ трꙋбы̀, да воскли́кнꙋтъ всѝ лю́дїе: и҆ воскли́кнꙋвшымъ и҆̀мъ, падꙋ́тъ са́ми стѣ́ны гра́да во ѡ҆снова́нїи свое́мъ, и҆ вни́дꙋтъ всѝ лю́дїе ᲂу҆стреми́вшесѧ кі́йждо прѧ́мѡ себѣ̀ во гра́дъ.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 И҆ вни́де і҆исꙋ́съ сы́нъ наѵи́нъ къ жерцє́мъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ глаго́лѧ: возми́те кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ се́дмь жерцы̀ да во́змꙋтъ се́дмь трꙋ́бъ ро́жаныхъ пред̾ лице́мъ кївѡ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
6 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ глаго́лѧ: повели́те лю́демъ ѡ҆б̾итѝ и҆ ѡ҆крꙋжи́ти гра́дъ, и҆ во́ини да пред̾и́дꙋтъ воѡрꙋже́ни пред̾ кївѡ́томъ гдⷭ҇нимъ.
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark.”
7 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ речѐ і҆исꙋ́съ къ лю́демъ, и҆ се́дмь жерцы̀ и҆мꙋ́ще се́дмь трꙋ́бъ свѧще́нныхъ да пред̾и́дꙋтъ та́кожде пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ да вострꙋ́бѧтъ доброгла́снѡ: и҆ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ в̾слѣ́дъ по ни́хъ да и҆́детъ:
7 They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.”
8 во́ини же да пред̾и́дꙋтъ напредѝ, и҆ жерцы̀ трꙋбѧ́ще въ трꙋбы̑, и҆ послѣ́дꙋющїи созадѝ кївѡ́та завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ бѧ́хꙋ и҆дꙋ́ще и҆ трꙋбѧ́ще трꙋба́ми.
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of Yahweh’s covenant followed them.
9 Лю́демъ же заповѣ́да і҆исꙋ́съ, глаго́лѧ: не вопи́те, нижѐ да слы́шитъ кто̀ гла́са ва́шегѡ, нижѐ да и҆зы́детъ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ ва́шихъ сло́во до днѐ, во́ньже повелю̀ ва́мъ са́мъ воскли́кнꙋти, и҆ тогда̀ воскли́кните.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10 И҆ ѡ҆бше́дъ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та бж҃їѧ ѡ҆́крестъ гра́да (є҆ди́ною), а҆́бїе и҆́де въ по́лкъ, и҆ ста̀ та́мѡ.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
11 Во вторы́й же де́нь воста̀ і҆исꙋ́съ заꙋ́тра, и҆ воздвиго́ша жерцы̀ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ.
11 So he caused Yahweh’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
12 И҆ жерцы̀ се́дмь носѧ́щїи се́дмь трꙋ́бъ пред̾идѧ́хꙋ пред̾ кївѡ́томъ гдⷭ҇нимъ и҆ трꙋби́ша трꙋба́ми, и҆ во́ини воѡрꙋже́ни и҆дѧ́хꙋ, и҆ про́чїи лю́дїе в̾слѣ́дъ кївѡ́та завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆дꙋ́ще, и҆ жерцы̀ вострꙋби́ша трꙋба́ми ро́жаными.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up Yahweh’s ark.
13 И҆ ѡ҆быдо́ша гра́дъ въ де́нь вторы́й є҆ди́ною, и҆ поидо́ша па́ки въ по́лкъ: си́це творѧ́хꙋ ше́сть дні́й.
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of Yahweh’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after Yahweh’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 И҆ бы́сть въ седмы́й де́нь, воста́ша въ воста́нїе ᲂу҆́треннее, и҆ ѡ҆быдо́ша гра́дъ въ то́й де́нь седми́жды.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
15 И҆ бы́сть во ѡ҆бхожде́нїи седмѣ́мъ вострꙋби́ша жерцы̀ трꙋба́ми, и҆ речѐ і҆исꙋ́съ къ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ: воскли́кните, предаде́ бо гдⷭ҇ь ва́мъ гра́дъ:
15 On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
16 и҆ бꙋ́детъ гра́дъ се́й про́клѧтъ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть въ не́мъ, гдⷭ҇ꙋ си́лъ: то́кмѡ раа́въ блꙋдни́цꙋ снабди́те ю҆̀, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть въ домꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ сокры̀ прелага̑таи, и҆̀хже посыла́хомъ:
16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city!
17 но вы̀ соблюди́тесѧ ѿ клѧ́твы, да не когда̀ помы́сливше вы̀ во́змете ѿ клѧ́твы, и҆ сотворитѐ по́лкъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ клѧ́твꙋ, и҆ потребитѐ ны̀:
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 зла́то же всѐ и҆ сребро̀, и҆ мѣ́дь и҆ желѣ́зо ст҃о да бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ: въ сокро́вище гдⷭ҇не да внесе́тсѧ.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
19 И҆ вострꙋби́ша жерцы̀ трꙋба́ми: є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́шаша лю́дїе гла́съ трꙋ́бный, воскли́кнꙋша всѝ кꙋ́пнѡ лю́дїе гла́сомъ вели́кимъ и҆ си́льнымъ: и҆ падо́ша всѧ̑ стѣ́ны гра́да ѡ҆́крестъ, и҆ внидо́ша всѝ лю́дїе во гра́дъ, кі́йждо проти́вꙋ себє̀, и҆ прїѧ́ша гра́дъ.
19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.”
20 И҆ проклѧ̀ и҆̀ і҆исꙋ́съ, и҆ є҆ли̑ка бы́ша во гра́дѣ, ѿ мꙋ́жеска по́лꙋ и҆ до же́нска, ѿ ю҆́ноши и҆ до ста́рца, и҆ ѿ тельца̀ до ѻ҆вцы̀ и҆ до ѻ҆слѧ́те, всѐ под̾ ме́чь.
20 So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
21 И҆ двои́мъ ю҆́ношамъ соглѧ́давшымъ зе́млю речѐ і҆исꙋ́съ: вни́дите въ до́мъ жены̀ блꙋдни́цы, и҆ и҆зведи́те ю҆̀ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть є҆ѧ̀, ꙗ҆́коже клѧ́стесѧ є҆́й.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 И҆ внидо́ста два̀ ю҆́ношы соглѧ́давшїи гра́дъ въ до́мъ жены̀, и҆ и҆зведо́сте раа́въ блꙋдни́цꙋ, и҆ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ ма́терь є҆ѧ̀, и҆ бра́тїю є҆ѧ̀ и҆ всѐ сро́дство є҆ѧ̀, и҆ всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка бы́ша є҆́й, и҆зведо́ста и҆ поста́виста ѧ҆̀ внѣ̀ полка̀ і҆и҃лева.
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
23 И҆ гра́дъ сожго́ша ѻ҆гне́мъ со всѣ́мъ, є҆́же бѣ̀ въ не́мъ, кромѣ̀ зла́та и҆ сребра̀, мѣ́ди и҆ желѣ́за, ꙗ҆̀же ѿда́ша въ до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень внестѝ гдⷭ҇еви.
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
24 И҆ раа́въ блꙋдни́цꙋ и҆ ве́сь до́мъ є҆ѧ̀ ѻ҆те́ческїй ѡ҆ста́ви жи̑вы і҆исꙋ́съ, и҆ ѡ҆бита́ти сотворѝ во і҆и҃ли да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀, поне́же сокры̀ прелага̑таи, и҆̀хже посла̀ і҆исꙋ́съ соглѧ́дати і҆ерїхѡ́на.
24 They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house.
25 И҆ проклѧ̀ і҆исꙋ́съ въ то́й де́нь, глаго́лѧ: про́клѧтъ человѣ́къ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆́же поста́витъ и҆ сози́ждетъ гра́дъ се́й і҆ерїхѡ́нъ: на пе́рвенцѣ свое́мъ ѡ҆снꙋе́тъ є҆го̀, и҆ на ме́ньшемъ свое́мъ поста́витъ врата̀ є҆гѡ̀. И҆ си́це сотворѝ а҆за́нъ, и҆́же ѿ веѳи́лѧ: на а҆вїрѡ́нѣ пе́рвенцѣ свое́мъ ѡ҆снова̀ и҆̀, и҆ на ме́ньшемъ спасе́нѣмъ поста́ви врата̀ є҆гѡ̀.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 И҆ бѧ́ше гдⷭ҇ь со і҆исꙋ́сомъ, и҆ бѣ̀ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ по все́й землѝ.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.” 27 So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

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).
The Ark is going around the walls of Jericho: there shall come a time at the seventh going round of the Ark, when all the walls of the city unbelieving and contradicting shall fall. Until it come to pass, this man is being troubled in his exercise; and enduring the remains of men contradicting, he would choose wings for flying …
