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 сотвори́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѕло́е пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ предадѐ и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь въ рꙋ́кꙋ мадїа́млю се́дмь лѣ́тъ.
1 The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, so Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2 И҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ рꙋка̀ мадїа́млѧ на і҆и҃лѧ: и҆ сотвори́ша себѣ̀ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѿ лица̀ мадїа́млѧ ѡ҆гра̑ды въ гора́хъ и҆ въ пеще́рахъ и҆ въ тверды́нехъ.
2 The hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made themselves the dens which are in the mountains, the caves, and the strongholds.
3 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ сѣ́ѧше мꙋ́жъ і҆и҃левъ, и҆ восхожда́ше мадїа́мъ и҆ а҆мали́къ и҆ сы́нове восто́чнїи, и҆ восхожда́хꙋ на него̀,
3 So it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the east came up against them.
4 и҆ ѡ҆полча́хꙋсѧ на ни́хъ, и҆ разорѧ́хꙋ плоды̀ земны̑ѧ, до́ндеже вни́ти въ га́зꙋ: и҆ не ѡ҆ставлѧ́хꙋ бытїѧ̀ жи́зненнагѡ во і҆и҃ли, и҆ ста́дъ и҆ тельца̀ и҆ ѻ҆сла̀:
4 They encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, until you come to Gaza. They left no sustenance in Israel, and no sheep, ox, or donkey.
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ са́ми и҆ ско́ти и҆́хъ восхожда́хꙋ, и҆ кꙋ́щы и҆́хъ преноша́хꙋ, и҆ прихожда́хꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ прꙋ́зи мно́жествомъ, и҆ самѣ̑мъ и҆ вельблю́дѡмъ и҆́хъ не бѧ́ше числа̀: и҆ прихожда́хꙋ на зе́млю і҆и҃левꙋ разори́ти ю҆̀.
5 For they came up with their livestock and their tents. They came in as locusts for multitude. Both they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land to destroy it.
6 И҆ ѡ҆бнища̀ і҆и҃ль ѕѣлѡ̀ ѿ лица̀ мадїа́млѧ.
6 Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried to Yahweh.
7 И҆ возопи́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: и҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ возопи́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ мадїа́ма ра́ди,
7 When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh because of Midian,
8 и҆ посла̀ гдⷭь мꙋ́жа прⷪ҇ро́ка къ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь и҆зведы́й ва́съ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, и҆ и҆зведо́хъ ва́съ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ рабо́ты:
8 Yahweh sent a prophet to the children of Israel; and he said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage.
9 и҆ и҆зба́вихъ ва́съ ѿ рꙋкѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ и҆ ѿ рꙋкѝ всѣ́хъ стꙋжа́ющихъ ва́мъ: и҆ и҆згна́хъ ѧ҆̀ ѿ лица̀ ва́шегѡ, и҆ да́хъ ва́мъ зе́млю и҆́хъ,
9 I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land.
10 и҆ реко́хъ ва́мъ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ, не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ богѡ́въ а҆морре́йскихъ, въ ни́хже вы̀ живетѐ въ землѝ и҆́хъ: и҆ не послꙋ́шасте гла́са моегѡ̀.
10 I said to you, “I am Yahweh your God. You shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not listened to my voice.’”
11 И҆ прїи́де а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ сѣ́де под̾ дꙋ́бомъ, и҆́же є҆́сть во є҆фра́ѳѣ, и҆́же бы́сть і҆ѡа́са ѻ҆тца̀ є҆зрі̀. И҆ гедеѡ́нъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ млача́ше пшени́цꙋ на гꙋмнѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, бѣжа́ти ѿ лица̀ мадїа́млѧ.
11 Yahweh’s angel came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites.
12 И҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇ь съ тобо́ю, си́льный крѣ́постїю.
12 Yahweh’s angel appeared to him, and said to him, “Yahweh is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
13 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ гедеѡ́нъ: во мнѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и мо́й: и҆ а҆́ще є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь съ на́ми, и҆ вскꙋ́ю ѡ҆брѣто́ша ны̀ всѧ̑ ѕла̑ѧ сїѧ̑; и҆ гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть всѧ̑ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀, є҆ли̑ка повѣ́даша на́мъ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши, глаго́люще: не и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта ли и҆зведѐ на́съ гдⷭ҇ь; и҆ нн҃ѣ ѿве́рже на́съ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ предадѐ на́съ въ рꙋ́кꙋ мадїа́млю.
13 Gideon said to him, “Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, ‘Didn’t Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”
14 И҆ воззрѣ̀ на него̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆дѝ въ крѣ́пости твое́й се́й, и҆ спасе́ши і҆и҃лѧ ѿ рꙋкѝ мадїа́мли: и҆ сѐ, посла́хъ тѧ̀.
14 Yahweh looked at him, and said, “Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?”
15 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ гедеѡ́нъ: во мнѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, въ чесо́мъ спасꙋ̀ і҆и҃лѧ; сѐ, ты́сѧща моѧ̀ хꙋ́ждша въ манассі́и, и҆ а҆́зъ є҆́смь мні́й въ домꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀.
15 He said to him, “O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
16 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: поне́же а҆́зъ бꙋ́дꙋ съ тобо́ю, и҆ и҆збїе́ши мадїа́ма ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жа є҆ди́наго.
16 Yahweh said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.”
17 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ гедеѡ́нъ: и҆ а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, и҆ да сотвори́ши мнѣ̀ дне́сь зна́менїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ глаго́леши со мно́ю:
17 He said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk with me.
18 не ѿидѝ ѿсю́дꙋ, до́ндеже прїитѝ мнѣ̀ къ тебѣ̀, и҆ принесꙋ̀ же́ртвꙋ мою̀, и҆ пожрꙋ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю. И҆ речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь, преме́длю, до́ндеже ѡ҆брати́шисѧ ты̀.
18 Please don’t go away until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you.” He said, “I will wait until you come back.”
19 И҆ гедеѡ́нъ вни́де, и҆ сотворѝ ко́злище ѿ ко́зъ, и҆ че́тверть і҆фі̀ мꙋкѝ ѡ҆прѣсно́кѡвъ, и҆ мѧса̀ вложѝ въ ко́шницꙋ, и҆ ю҆хꙋ̀ влїѧ̀ въ горне́цъ: и҆ и҆знесѐ къ немꙋ̀ под̾ дꙋ́бъ, и҆ поклони́сѧ.
19 Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal. He put the meat in a basket and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.
20 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень: возмѝ мѧса̀ и҆ хлѣ́бы прѣ̑сныѧ, и҆ положѝ ᲂу҆ ка́мене ѻ҆́нагѡ, и҆ ю҆хꙋ̀ бли́з̾ и҆злі́й. И҆ сотворѝ та́кѡ.
20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” He did so.
21 И҆ прострѐ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень коне́цъ жезла̀, и҆́же въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ прикоснꙋ́сѧ мѧсѡ́мъ и҆ хлѣ́бѡмъ прѣ̑снымъ: и҆ возгорѣ́сѧ ѻ҆́гнь и҆з̾ ка́мене, и҆ поѧдѐ мѧса̀ и҆ ѡ҆прѣсно́ки: и҆ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень ѿи́де ѿ ѻ҆че́й є҆гѡ̀.
21 Then Yahweh’s angel stretched out the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire went up out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then Yahweh’s angel departed out of his sight.
22 И҆ ви́дѣ гедеѡ́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лъ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ речѐ гедеѡ́нъ: ᲂу҆вы̀ мнѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣхъ а҆́гг҃ла гдⷭ҇нѧ лице́мъ къ лицꙋ̀.
22 Gideon saw that he was Yahweh’s angel; and Gideon said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh! Because I have seen Yahweh’s angel face to face!”
23 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: ми́ръ тебѣ̀, не бо́йсѧ, не ᲂу҆́мреши.
23 Yahweh said to him, “Peace be to you! Don’t be afraid. You shall not die.”
24 И҆ созда̀ та́мѡ гедеѡ́нъ же́ртвенникъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, и҆ назва̀ є҆го̀ ми́ръ гдⷭ҇ень, да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀, є҆щѐ сꙋ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ во є҆фра́ѳѣ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆зрі̀.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there to Yahweh, and called it “Yahweh is Peace.” To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
25 И҆ бы́сть въ тꙋ̀ но́щь, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: возмѝ тельца̀ ᲂу҆пита́ннаго (ѿ скотѡ́въ) ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀, и҆ тельца̀ втора́го седмѝ лѣ́тъ, и҆ разори́ши ѻ҆лта́рь ваа́ловъ, и҆́же є҆́сть ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀, и҆ дꙋбра́вꙋ, ꙗ҆́же ᲂу҆ негѡ̀, да посѣче́ши:
25 That same night, Yahweh said to him, “Take your father’s bull, even the second bull seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is by it.
26 и҆ да согради́ши ѻ҆лта́рь гдⷭ҇еви бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀ ꙗ҆ви́вшемꙋсѧ тебѣ̀ на верхꙋ̀ (горы̀) маѡзі̀ во предчи́нїи: и҆ да по́ймеши тельца̀ втора́го и҆ вознесе́ши всесожжє́нїѧ на дре́вѣхъ дꙋбра́вы, ю҆́же посѣче́ши.
26 Then build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this stronghold, in an orderly way, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down.”
27 И҆ поѧ̀ гедеѡ́нъ де́сѧть мꙋже́й ѿ рабѡ́въ свои́хъ, и҆ сотворѝ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ до́мꙋ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ мꙋже́й гра́да, є҆́же сотвори́ти во днѝ, и҆ сотворѝ но́щїю.
27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Yahweh had spoken to him. Because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, he could not do it by day, but he did it by night.
28 И҆ ѡ҆бꙋ́треневаша мꙋ́жїе гра́дстїи заꙋ́тра: и҆ сѐ, раско́панъ ѻ҆лта́рь ваа́ловъ, и҆ дꙋбра́ва ꙗ҆́же ᲂу҆ негѡ̀ посѣ́чена, и҆ ви́дѣша тельца̀ втора́го вознесе́на на всесожже́нїе на ѻ҆лта́рь новосогражде́нный.
28 When the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered on the altar that was built.
29 И҆ речѐ мꙋ́жъ къ бли́жнемꙋ своемꙋ̀: кто̀ сотворѝ ве́щь сїю̀; И҆ вопроша́хꙋ и҆ и҆ска́хꙋ, и҆ позна́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ гедеѡ́нъ сы́нъ і҆ѡа́совъ сотворѝ ве́щь сїю̀.
29 They said to one another, “Who has done this thing?” When they inquired and asked, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.”
30 И҆ реко́ша мꙋ́жїе гра́дстїи ко і҆ѡа́сꙋ: и҆зведѝ сы́на твоего̀, и҆ да ᲂу҆́мретъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ раскопа̀ ѻ҆лта́рь ваа́ловъ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ посѣчѐ дꙋбра́вꙋ ꙗ҆́же над̾ ни́мъ.
30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.”
31 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡа́съ къ мꙋжє́мъ воста́вшымъ на него̀: є҆да̀ вы̀ нн҃ѣ сꙋ́дъ глаго́лете ѡ҆ ваа́лѣ; и҆лѝ вы̀ є҆го̀ спасетѐ; и҆́же а҆́ще кто̀ сотворѝ ѡ҆би́дꙋ, да ᲂу҆́мретъ до заꙋ́трїѧ: а҆́ще бг҃ъ є҆́сть, да мсти́тъ себѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ раскопа̀ ѻ҆лта́рь є҆гѡ̀.
31 Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar!”
32 И҆ прозва̀ є҆го̀ въ то́й де́нь і҆ероваа́ломъ, глаго́лѧ: да ѿмсти́тъ на не́мъ ваа́лъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ раскопа̀ ѻ҆лта́рь є҆гѡ̀.
32 Therefore on that day he named him Jerub-Baal, saying, “Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
33 И҆ ве́сь мадїа́мъ и҆ а҆мали́къ и҆ сы́нове восто́кѡвъ снидо́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆ преидо́ша (рѣкꙋ̀), и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ въ доли́нѣ і҆езрае́ль.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
34 И҆ дх҃ъ бж҃їй ᲂу҆крѣпѝ гедеѡ́на, и҆ вострꙋбѝ ро́гомъ, и҆ возопѝ а҆вїезе́ръ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀.
34 But Yahweh’s Spirit came on Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together to follow him.
35 И҆ посла̀ послы̀ ко всемꙋ̀ манассі́ю, и҆ созва́сѧ и҆ се́й в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀. Посе́мъ посла̀ послы̀ во а҆си́ръ и҆ въ завꙋлѡ́нъ и҆ въ нефѳалі́мъ, и҆ взыдо́ша во срѣ́тенїе и҆̀мъ.
35 He sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and they also were gathered together to follow him. He sent messengers to Asher, to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
36 И҆ речѐ гедеѡ́нъ къ бг҃ꙋ: а҆́ще ты̀ спаса́еши рꙋко́ю мое́ю і҆и҃лѧ, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃алъ є҆сѝ,
36 Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,
37 сѐ, а҆́зъ положꙋ̀ рꙋно̀ ѻ҆́вчее на гꙋмнѣ̀: и҆ а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ роса̀ на рꙋнѣ̀ то́чїю, и҆ по все́й землѝ сꙋ́ша, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ спасе́ши рꙋко́ю мое́ю і҆и҃лѧ, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃алъ є҆сѝ.
37 behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I’ll know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken.”
38 И҆ бы́сть та́кѡ: и҆ ᲂу҆ра́ни гедеѡ́нъ наꙋ́трїе, и҆ и҆сцѣдѝ рꙋно̀, и҆ и҆стечѐ роса̀ и҆з̾ рꙋна̀, и҆спо́лненъ ѻ҆крі́нъ воды̀.
38 It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 И҆ речѐ гедеѡ́нъ къ бг҃ꙋ: да не разгнѣ́ваетсѧ ꙗ҆́рость твоѧ̀ на мѧ̀, и҆ возглаго́лю є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною, и҆ и҆скꙋшꙋ̀ є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною рꙋно́мъ: да бꙋ́детъ сꙋ́ша на рꙋнѣ̀ то́кмѡ, и҆ по все́й землѝ да бꙋ́детъ роса̀.
39 Gideon said to God, “Don’t let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece. Let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.”
40 И҆ сотворѝ бг҃ъ та́кѡ въ нощѝ то́й: и҆ бы́сть сꙋ́ша на рꙋнѣ̀ то́кмѡ, и҆ по все́й землѝ бы́сть роса̀.
40 God did so that night; for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

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).
3. Gideon, that Israelite whom God chose, that he might save the people of Israel from the power of foreigners, foreseeing this gracious gift, changed his request, and prophesied that there would be dryness upon the fleece of wool (a type of the people), on which alone at first there had been dew; thus indicating that they should no longer …
For this, ye know, happened in a certain miracle, the ground was dry, the fleece only was wet, yet rain in the fleece appeared not. So also the mystery of the New Testament appeared not in the nation of the Jews.
