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 къ мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 рцы̀ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще кто̀ ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆лѝ ѿ прибы́вшихъ прише́льцєвъ во і҆и҃ли, и҆́же а҆́ще да́стъ ѿ сѣ́мене своегѡ̀ моло́хꙋ, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ: лю́дїе землѝ да побїю́тъ є҆го̀ ка́менїемъ:
2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.
3 и҆ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆твержꙋ̀ лицѐ моѐ на человѣ́ка того̀ и҆ погꙋблю̀ є҆го̀ ѿ люді́й є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ сѣ́мене своегѡ̀ дадѐ моло́хꙋ, да ѡ҆скверни́тъ ст҃ы́ню мою̀ и҆ ѡ҆скверни́тъ и҆́мѧ ѡ҆сщ҃е́нныхъ мнѣ̀.
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 А҆́ще же презрѣ́нїемъ пре́зрѧтъ тꙋзе́мцы землѝ ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма ѿ человѣ́ка тогѡ̀, внегда̀ да́ти є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ сѣ́мене своегѡ̀ моло́хꙋ, є҆́же не ᲂу҆би́ти є҆го̀:
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,
5 и҆ ᲂу҆твержꙋ̀ лицѐ моѐ на человѣ́ка того̀ и҆ на сро́дники є҆гѡ̀, и҆ погꙋблю̀ є҆го̀ и҆ всѣ́хъ є҆диномы́слѧщихъ съ ни́мъ, є҆́же соблꙋжда́ти є҆мꙋ̀ со і҆́дѡлы ѿ люді́й свои́хъ.
5 then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
6 И҆ дꙋша̀ ꙗ҆́же а҆́ще послѣ́дꙋетъ ᲂу҆трѡ́бнымъ ба́снемъ и҆лѝ волхвѡ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ соблꙋди́ти в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ, ᲂу҆твержꙋ̀ лицѐ моѐ на дꙋ́шꙋ тꙋ̀ и҆ погꙋблю̀ ю҆̀ ѿ люді́й є҆ѧ̀.
6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 И҆ бꙋ́дете свѧ́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ст҃ъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ.
7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.
8 И҆ сохрани́те повелѣ̑нїѧ моѧ̑ и҆ сотвори́те ѧ҆̀: а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь ѡ҆сщ҃а́ѧй ва́съ.
8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
9 Человѣ́къ человѣ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще ѕло̀ рече́тъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆лѝ ма́тери свое́й, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мретъ: ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆лѝ ма́тери свое́й ѕлѣ̀ речѐ, пови́ненъ бꙋ́детъ.
9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.
10 Человѣ́къ человѣ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще прелюбы̀ содѣ́етъ съ мꙋ́жнею жено́ю, и҆лѝ кто̀ прелюбы̀ содѣ́етъ съ жено́ю бли́жнѧгѡ своегѡ̀, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мрꙋтъ прелюбодѣ́й и҆ прелюбодѣ́йца.

12 “‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
13 И҆ а҆́ще кто̀ бꙋ́детъ съ мꙋ́жескимъ по́ломъ ло́жемъ же́нскимъ, гнꙋ́сность сотвори́ша ѻ҆́ба, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мрꙋтъ, пови́нни сꙋ́ть.
13 “‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.
14 И҆́же а҆́ще по́йметъ женꙋ̀ и҆ ма́терь є҆ѧ̀, беззако́нїе є҆́сть, ѻ҆гне́мъ да сожгꙋ́тъ є҆го̀ и҆ ѡ҆́ныѧ, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ беззако́нїе въ ва́съ.

16 И҆ жена̀ ꙗ҆́же а҆́ще пристꙋ́питъ ко всѧ́комꙋ скотꙋ̀, є҆́же бы́ти съ ни́мъ, да ᲂу҆бїе́те женꙋ̀ и҆ ско́тъ, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мрꙋтъ, пови́нни сꙋ́ть.

17 “‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.
18 И҆ мꙋ́жъ и҆́же бꙋ́детъ съ жено́ю скверна́вою и҆ ѿкры́етъ срамотꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀, тече́нїе є҆ѧ̀ ѿкры̀, и҆ ѻ҆на̀ ѿкры̀ тече́нїе кро́ве своеѧ̀, да потребѧ́тсѧ ѻ҆́ба ѿ ро́да и҆́хъ.
18 “‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 И҆ срамотꙋ̀ сестры̀ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ сестры̀ ма́тере твоеѧ̀ да не ѿкры́еши: ᲂу҆́жичество бо ѿкры̀, грѣ́хъ понесꙋ́тъ.
19 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.
20 И҆́же а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ со сро́дницею свое́ю, срамотꙋ̀ сродства̀ своегѡ̀ ѿкры̀, безча́дни и҆́змрꙋтъ.
20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.
21 И҆ человѣ́къ и҆́же а҆́ще по́йметъ женꙋ̀ бра́та своегѡ̀, нечистота̀ є҆́сть: срамотꙋ̀ бра́та своегѡ̀ ѿкры́лъ є҆́сть, безча́дни и҆́змрꙋтъ.
21 “‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
23 И҆ не ходи́те въ зако́ны ꙗ҆зы́чєскїѧ, и҆̀хже а҆́зъ и҆згоню̀ ѿ ва́съ: ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ сотвори́ша, и҆ возгнꙋша́хсѧ и҆́ми.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 И҆ рѣ́хъ къ ва́мъ: вы̀ наслѣ́дите зе́млю и҆́хъ, и҆ а҆́зъ да́мъ ва́мъ ю҆̀ въ притѧжа́нїе, зе́млю текꙋ́щꙋю ме́домъ и҆ млеко́мъ, а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ, ѿлꙋчи́вый ва́съ ѿ всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ.
24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 И҆ ѿлꙋчи́те себѣ̀ междꙋ̀ скѡты̀ чи́стыми и҆ междꙋ̀ скѡты̀ нечи́стыми, и҆ междꙋ̀ пти́цами чи́стыми и҆ нечи́стыми: и҆ не ѡ҆сквернитѐ дꙋ́шъ ва́шихъ въ скотѣ́хъ и҆ въ пти́цахъ и҆ во всѣ́хъ гадѣ́хъ земны́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ ѿлꙋчи́хъ ва́мъ въ нечистотѣ̀,
25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
26 и҆ бꙋ́дете мѝ свѧ́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ст҃ъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ, ѿлꙋчи́вый ва́съ ѿ всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ бы́ти мои́ми.
26 You shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 И҆ мꙋ́жъ и҆лѝ жена̀ и҆́же а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ ѿ ни́хъ чревоба́сникъ и҆лѝ волше́бникъ, сме́ртїю да ᲂу҆́мрꙋтъ ѻ҆́ба: ка́менїемъ да побїе́те и҆̀хъ, пови́нни сꙋ́ть.
27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”

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).
… put no obstacle to godliness in our way, if we are ever carried away by ingratitude, and, forgetting their benefits to us, hold them in contempt, then the oracle will have place which says, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
