Не вѣ́дѧше бо манѡ́е, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень то́й. 17 И҆ речѐ манѡ́е ко а҆́гг҃лꙋ гдⷭ҇ню: что̀ и҆́мѧ твоѐ; да є҆гда̀ сбꙋ́детсѧ сло́во твоѐ, просла́вимъ тѧ̀. 18 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень: почто̀ сїѐ вопроша́еши и҆́мене моегѡ̀; и҆ то̀ є҆́сть чꙋ́дно. 19 И҆ взѧ̀ манѡ́е ко́злища ѿ ко́зъ и҆ же́ртвꙋ, и҆ вознесѐ на ка́мень гдⷭ҇еви чꙋ̑днаѧ творѧ́щемꙋ: манѡ́е же и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ зрѧ́ста. 20 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ пла́мень взы́де вы́ше ѻ҆лтарѧ̀ да́же до небесѐ, и҆ взы́де а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень въ пла́мени ѻ҆лтарѧ̀: манѡ́е же и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ смотрѧ́ста, и҆ падо́ста лице́мъ свои́мъ на зе́млю. 21 И҆ не приложѝ ктомꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ манѡ́ю и҆ женѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀. Тогда̀ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣ манѡ́е, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень є҆́сть. 22 И҆ речѐ манѡ́е къ женѣ̀ свое́й: сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мремъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃а ви́дѣхомъ. 23 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀: а҆́ще бы хотѣ́лъ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆мертви́ти на́съ, не бы̀ взѧ́лъ ѿ рꙋ́къ на́шихъ всесожже́нїѧ и҆ же́ртвы, и҆ не бы̀ показа́лъ на́мъ си́хъ всѣ́хъ, и҆ не бы̀ слы̑шана сїѧ̑ сотвори́лъ на́мъ ꙗ҆́коже нн҃ѣ. 24 И҆ родѝ жена̀ сы́на, и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ самѱѡ́нъ. И҆ возмꙋжа̀ ѻ҆троча̀, и҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ є҆̀ гдⷭ҇ь: 25 и҆ нача̀ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ходи́ти съ ни́мъ въ полцѣ̀ да́новѣ, посредѣ̀ сараѝ и҆ посредѣ̀ є҆сѳао́ла.

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.

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).
