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 бы́ша лю́дїе ро́пщꙋще зла̑ѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ: и҆ слы́ша гдⷭ҇ь и҆ разгнѣ́васѧ гнѣ́вомъ, и҆ разгорѣ́сѧ въ ни́хъ ѻ҆́гнь ѿ гдⷭ҇а и҆ потребѝ ча́сть нѣ́кꙋю ѿ полка̀.
1 The people were complaining in the ears of Yahweh. When Yahweh heard it, his anger burned; and Yahweh’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
2 И҆ возопи́ша лю́дїе къ мѡѷсе́ю: и҆ помоли́сѧ мѡѷсе́й къ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, и҆ преста̀ ѻ҆́гнь.
2 The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire abated.
3 И҆ прозва́сѧ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ запале́нїе: ꙗ҆́кѡ разгорѣ́сѧ въ ни́хъ ѻ҆́гнь ѿ гдⷭ҇а.
3 The name of that place was called Taberah, because Yahweh’s fire burned among them.
4 И҆ ѻ҆́бщїй наро́дъ и҆́же въ ни́хъ похотѣ́ша похотѣ́нїемъ: и҆ сѣ́дше пла́кахꙋсѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы и҆ реко́ша: кто́ ны напита́етъ мѧ́сы;
4 The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?
5 помѧнꙋ́хомъ ры̑бы, ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆до́хомъ въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй тꙋ́не, и҆ ѻ҆гꙋрцы̀ и҆ ды̑ни, лꙋ́къ и҆ червле́ный лꙋ́къ и҆ чесно́къ:
5 We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
6 нн҃ѣ же дꙋша̀ на́ша и҆зсо́хла, ничто́же то́чїю ма́нна пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма на́шима.
6 but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”
7 Ма́нна же бѧ́ше а҆́ки сѣ́мѧ корїа́ндрово, и҆ ви́дъ є҆ѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дъ крѷста́лла:
7 The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like bdellium.
8 и҆ и҆схожда́хꙋ лю́дїе и҆ собира́хꙋ, и҆ мелѧ́хꙋ въ же́рновахъ и҆ толца́хꙋ въ стꙋ́пахъ, и҆ варѧ́хꙋ въ горшка́хъ и҆ творѧ́хꙋ и҆з̾ неѧ̀ потре́бники: и҆ бѧ́ше вкꙋ́съ є҆ѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ вкꙋ́съ мꙋкѝ прѧ́жены съ є҆ле́емъ:
8 The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.
9 и҆ є҆гда̀ схожда́ше роса̀ на по́лкъ но́щїю, схожда́ше ма́нна на́нь.
9 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
10 И҆ ᲂу҆слы́ша мѡѷсе́й пла́чꙋщихсѧ и҆̀хъ въ со́нмѣхъ свои́хъ, коего́ждо и҆́хъ пред̾ свои́ми две́рьми: и҆ разгнѣ́васѧ гдⷭ҇ь гнѣ́вомъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ пред̾ мѡѷсе́омъ бѧ́ше ѕло̀.
10 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and Yahweh’s anger burned greatly; and Moses was displeased.
11 И҆ речѐ мѡѷсе́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: вскꙋ́ю ѡ҆ѕло́билъ є҆сѝ раба̀ твоего̀; и҆ почто̀ не ѡ҆брѣто́хъ блгⷣти пред̾ тобо́ю, є҆́же возложи́ти ᲂу҆стремле́нїе люді́й си́хъ на мѧ̀;
11 Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
12 є҆да̀ а҆́зъ во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ зача́хъ всѧ̑ лю́ди сїѧ̑; и҆лѝ а҆́зъ роди́хъ ѧ҆̀; ꙗ҆́кѡ гл҃еши мѝ: возмѝ и҆̀хъ въ нѣ̑дра твоѧ̑, ꙗ҆́коже дои́лица но́ситъ дѡи́мыѧ, въ зе́млю, є҆́юже клѧ́лсѧ є҆сѝ ѻ҆тцє́мъ и҆́хъ:
12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’?
13 ѿкꙋ́дꙋ мнѣ̀ мѧса̀ да́ти всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ си̑мъ; ꙗ҆́кѡ пла́чꙋтъ на мѧ̀, глаго́люще: да́ждь на́мъ мѧса̀, да ꙗ҆ди́мъ:
13 Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14 не возмогꙋ̀ а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ води́ти люді́й си́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ тѧ́жко мнѣ̀ є҆́сть сло́во сїѐ:
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 а҆́ще же та́кѡ ты̀ твори́ши мнѣ̀, то̀ ᲂу҆бі́й мѧ̀ ᲂу҆бїе́нїемъ, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ блгⷣть пред̾ тобо́ю, да не ви́жꙋ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїѧ моегѡ̀.
15 If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”
16 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: собери́ ми се́дмьдесѧтъ мꙋже́й ѿ ста́рєцъ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆̀хже ты̀ са́мъ вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ ті́и сꙋ́ть ста́рцы людсті́и и҆ книгѡ́чїѧ и҆́хъ: и҆ да приведе́ши ѧ҆̀ ко ски́нїи свидѣ́нїѧ, и҆ да ста́нꙋтъ та́мѡ съ тобо́ю:
16 Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
17 и҆ сни́дꙋ и҆ возгл҃ю та́мѡ съ тобо́ю, и҆ ᲂу҆ймꙋ̀ ѿ дх҃а, и҆́же въ тебѣ̀, и҆ возложꙋ̀ на нѧ̀: да под̾и́мꙋтъ съ тобо́ю ᲂу҆стремле́нїе люді́й, и҆ не бꙋ́деши води́ти и҆̀хъ ты̀ є҆ди́нъ:
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself alone.
18 и҆ лю́демъ рече́ши: ѡ҆чи́ститесѧ наꙋ́трїе, и҆ снѣ́сте мѧса̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ пла́кастесѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, глаго́люще: кто́ ны напита́етъ мѧ́сы; ꙗ҆́кѡ добро̀ на́мъ бы́сть во є҆гѵ́птѣ: и҆ да́стъ гдⷭ҇ь ва́мъ мѧса̀ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ снѣ́сте мѧса̀:
18 “Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat.
19 не є҆ди́нъ де́нь ꙗ҆́сти бꙋ́дете, ни два̀, ни пѧ́ть дні́й, ни де́сѧть дні́й, нижѐ два́десѧть дні́й:
19 You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
20 до мцⷭ҇а дні́й ꙗ҆́сти бꙋ́дете, до́ндеже и҆зы́детъ и҆з̾ но́здрїй ва́шихъ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ въ ме́рзость, ꙗ҆́кѡ не покори́стесѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, и҆́же є҆́сть въ ва́съ, и҆ пла́кастесѧ пред̾ ни́мъ, глаго́люще: вскꙋ́ю бѣ̀ на́мъ и҆зы́ти и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта;
20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected Yahweh who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”
21 И҆ речѐ мѡѷсе́й: ше́сть сѡ́тъ ты́сѧщъ пѣ́шихъ люді́й, въ ни́хже а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ ты̀ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: мѧса̀ и҆̀мъ да́мъ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́сти мцⷭ҇ъ дні́й:
21 Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month.’
22 є҆да̀ ѻ҆́вцы и҆ волы̀ зако́лютсѧ и҆̀мъ, и҆ дово́льнѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ; и҆лѝ всѧ̑ ры̑бы мѡрскі́ѧ соберꙋ́тсѧ и҆̀мъ, и҆ дово́льнѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ;
22 Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”
23 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: є҆да̀ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ не дово́льна бꙋ́детъ; нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́еши, а҆́ще пости́гнетъ тѧ̀ сло́во моѐ, и҆лѝ нѝ.
23 Yahweh said to Moses, “Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
24 И҆ и҆зы́де мѡѷсе́й и҆ глаго́ла лю́демъ словеса̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ: и҆ собра̀ се́дмьдесѧтъ мꙋже́й ѿ ста́рєцъ людски́хъ, и҆ поста́ви ѧ҆̀ ѡ҆́крестъ ски́нїи.
24 Moses went out, and told the people Yahweh’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
25 И҆ сни́де гдⷭ҇ь во ѡ҆́блацѣ и҆ гл҃а къ немꙋ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆ѧ̀ ѿ дх҃а, и҆́же на не́мъ, и҆ возложѝ на се́дмьдесѧтъ мꙋже́й ста́рєцъ: є҆гда́ же препочѝ дх҃ъ на ни́хъ, и҆ проро́чествоваша, и҆ ктомꙋ̀ не приложи́ша.
25 Yahweh came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
26 И҆ ѡ҆ста́шасѧ два̀ мꙋ̑жа въ полцѣ̀: и҆́мѧ є҆ди́номꙋ є҆лда́дъ, и҆ и҆́мѧ второ́мꙋ мѡда́дъ: и҆ препочѝ на ни́хъ дх҃ъ. И҆ сі́и бѣ́ша ѿ впи́санныхъ, и҆ не прїидо́ша ко ски́нїи, и҆ проро́чествоваша въ полцѣ̀.
26 But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the Spirit rested on them. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 И҆ прите́къ ю҆́ноша возвѣстѝ мѡѷсе́ю, и҆ речѐ, глаго́лѧ: є҆лда́дъ и҆ мѡда́дъ проро́чествꙋютъ въ полцѣ́хъ.
27 A young man ran, and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
28 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆исꙋ́съ наѵи́нъ, предстоѧ́й мѡѷсе́ю и҆збра́нный є҆мꙋ̀, речѐ: го́споди мо́й мѡѷсе́ю, запретѝ и҆̀мъ.
28 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”
29 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ мѡѷсе́й: є҆да̀ ревнꙋ́еши ты̀ мнѣ̀; и҆ кто̀ да́стъ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ гдⷭ҇нимъ (бы́ти) проро́ки, є҆гда̀ да́стъ гдⷭ҇ь дх҃а своего̀ на ни́хъ;
29 Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all Yahweh’s people were prophets, that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them!”
30 И҆ и҆́де мѡѷсе́й въ по́лкъ са́мъ и҆ ста́рцы і҆и҃льтестїи.
30 Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 И҆ дх҃ъ и҆зы́де ѿ гдⷭ҇а, и҆ и҆зведѐ кра̑стели и҆з̾ мо́рѧ и҆ наведѐ на по́лкъ де́нь хо́дꙋ ѿсю́дꙋ и҆ де́нь хо́дꙋ ѿѻнꙋ́дꙋ, ѡ҆́крестъ полка̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ на два̀ ла̑ктѧ ѿ землѝ.
31 A wind from Yahweh went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.
32 И҆ воста́вше лю́дїе ве́сь де́нь и҆ всю̀ но́щь, и҆ ве́сь де́нь наꙋ́трїе, и҆ собра́ша кра̑стели: и҆́же ма́лѡ, собра̀ де́сѧть спꙋ̑дъ: и҆ и҆зсꙋши́ша себѣ̀ сꙋшани̑цы ѡ҆́крестъ полка̀.
32 The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.
33 И҆ мѧса̀ бѧ́хꙋ и҆̀мъ є҆щѐ въ зꙋбѣ́хъ и҆́хъ, пре́жде ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́нїѧ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь разгнѣ́васѧ ѕѣлѡ̀ на лю́ди, и҆ поразѝ гдⷭ҇ь лю́ди ꙗ҆́звою вели́кою ѕѣлѡ̀:
33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, Yahweh’s anger burned against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague.
34 и҆ прозва́сѧ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ гро́бы похотѣ́нїѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ та́мѡ погребо́ша люді́й похотѣ́вшихъ.
34 The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 (И҆) воздвиго́шасѧ лю́дїе ѿ гробѡ́въ похотѣ́нїѧ во а҆сирѡ́ѳъ, и҆ бы́ша лю́дїе во а҆сирѡ́ѳѣ.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.

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 outward act, the broth to the allurement of lust within, as it is written, And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting; and the children of Israel also wept again and again and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?' When the angel, then, stretched out his staff and touched the rock, and fire rose …

The seventy Elders were chosen; And the Lord came down in a cloud, and took of the Spirit that was upon Moses, and put it upon the seventy Elders; not that the Spirit was divided, but that His grace was distributed in proportion to the vessels, and the capacity of the recipients.

They were called, and they came not; my lord Moses, forbid them." "I cannot forbid them," he says, "for this grace is from Heaven; nay, so far am I from forbidding them, that I myself am thankful for it.

Wait for the proper season; and oh that all the Lord's people may be prophets, whenever the Lord shall give His Spirit upon them!" saying this also prophetically, whenever the Lord shall give; "For as yet then He has not given it; so thou hast it not yet."--Had not then Abraham this, and Isaac, and Jacob, and Joseph?
