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 ᲂу҆слы́ша ханане́й ца́рь а҆ра́дскїй живы́й при пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де і҆и҃ль пꙋте́мъ а҆ѳарі́мскимъ, и҆ ра́това проти́вꙋ і҆и҃лѧ, и҆ взѧ̀ ѿ ни́хъ плѣ́нъ.
1 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 И҆ ѡ҆бѣща́сѧ і҆и҃ль ѡ҆бѣ́томъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще мнѣ̀ преда́си лю́ди сїѧ̑ подрꙋ̑чны, погꙋблю̀ и҆̀хъ и҆ гра́ды и҆́хъ.
2 Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
3 И҆ ᲂу҆слы́ша гдⷭ҇ь гла́съ і҆и҃левъ и҆ предадѐ ханане́а подрꙋ́чна є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстошѝ є҆го̀ и҆ гра́ды є҆гѡ̀, и҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ запꙋстѣ́нїе.
3 Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
4 И҆ воздви́гшесѧ ѿ ѡ҆́ра горы̀ пꙋте́мъ и҆́же къ мо́рю чермно́мꙋ, ѡ҆быдо́ша зе́млю є҆дѡ́млю: и҆ малодꙋ́шествоваша лю́дїе на пꙋтѝ,
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
5 и҆ ропта́хꙋ лю́дїе на бг҃а и҆ на мѡѷсе́а, глаго́люще: вскꙋ́ю и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ ны̀ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта ᲂу҆би́ти на́съ въ пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть хлѣ́ба, ни воды̀; и҆ дꙋша̀ на́ша негодꙋ́етъ ѡ҆ хлѣ́бѣ се́мъ тще́мъ.
5 The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
6 И҆ посла̀ гдⷭ҇ь на лю́ди ѕмїє́въ ᲂу҆мерщвлѧ́ющихъ, и҆ ᲂу҆грыза́хꙋ люді́й: и҆ ᲂу҆мро́ша лю́ди мно́зи ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.
6 Yahweh sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
7 И҆ прише́дше лю́дїе къ мѡѷсе́ови глаго́лаша: согрѣши́хомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ропта́хомъ на гдⷭ҇а и҆ на тѧ̀: помоли́сѧ ᲂу҆̀бо ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, да ѿжене́тъ ѿ на́съ ѕмїи̑. И҆ помоли́сѧ мѡѷсе́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ ѡ҆ лю́дехъ.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
8 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: сотворѝ себѣ̀ ѕмїю̀ (мѣ́дѧнꙋ) и҆ положѝ ю҆̀ на зна́мѧ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ а҆́ще ᲂу҆грызе́тъ ѕмїѧ̀ человѣ́ка, всѧ́къ ᲂу҆грызе́нный ви́дѣвъ ю҆̀ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ.
8 Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
9 И҆ сотворѝ мѡѷсе́й ѕмїю̀ мѣ́дѧнꙋ и҆ поста́ви ю҆̀ на зна́мени: и҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆грыза́ше ѕмїѧ̀ человѣ́ка, и҆ взира́ше на ѕмїю̀ мѣ́дѧнꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆жива́ше.
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 И҆ воздвиго́шасѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ во ѡ҆вѡ́ѳѣ:
10 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
11 и҆ воздви́гшесѧ ѿ ѡ҆вѡ́ѳа, ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ во а҆халге́и ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть пред̾ лице́мъ мѡаві́тскимъ, на восто́къ со́лнца:
11 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ воздвиго́шасѧ, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ въ де́бри заре́дъ:
12 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13 и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ воздви́гшесѧ, ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ а҆рнѡ́на въ пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́же и҆схо́дитъ ѿ предѣ̑лъ а҆морре́йскихъ: є҆́сть бо а҆рнѡ́нъ предѣ́лъ мѡа́вль междꙋ̀ мѡа́вомъ и҆ междꙋ̀ а҆морре́омъ.
13 From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди глаго́летсѧ въ кни́зѣ бра́нь гдⷭ҇нѧ: зѡо́вꙋ попалѝ, и҆ пото́ки а҆рнѡ̑ни,
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 и҆ пото́ки ᲂу҆стро́и въ селе́нїе и҆́ръ, и҆ прилежи́тъ предѣ́лѡмъ мѡа̑влимъ.
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
16 И҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ (воздвиго́шасѧ) ко кла́дѧзю: се́й є҆́сть кла́дѧзь, ѡ҆ не́мже речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: соберѝ лю́ди, и҆ да́мъ и҆̀мъ во́дꙋ пи́ти.
16 From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Тогда̀ воспѣ̀ і҆и҃ль пѣ́снь сїю̀ ᲂу҆ кла́дѧзѧ: начина́йте є҆мꙋ̀:
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
18 кла́дѧзь, и҆скопа́ша є҆го̀ кнѧ̑зи, и҆зсѣко́ша є҆го̀ ца́рїе ꙗ҆зы́честїи во ца́рствїи и҆́хъ, внегда̀ ѡ҆блада́ти и҆́ми. И҆ ѿ кла́дѧзѧ (воздвиго́шасѧ) въ манѳанаі́лъ:
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19 и҆ ѿ манѳанаі́ла въ наадїи́лъ, и҆ ѿ наадїи́ла въ вамѡ́ѳъ:
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 и҆ ѿ вамѡ́ѳа въ на́пинъ, и҆́же є҆́сть на по́ли мѡа́вли, ѿ верха̀ и҆зсѣ́ченагѡ, зрѧ́щагѡ пред̾ лицѐ пꙋсты́ни.
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 И҆ посла̀ мѡѷсе́й послы̀ къ сиѡ́нꙋ царю̀ а҆морре́йскꙋ, словесы̀ ми́рными глаго́лѧ:
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 да про́йдемъ сквозѣ̀ зе́млю твою̀, пꙋте́мъ по́йдемъ: не ᲂу҆клони́мсѧ ни на се́ла, ни на вїногра́ды, не и҆спїе́мъ воды̀ ѿ кла̑дѧзь твои́хъ: пꙋте́мъ ца́рскимъ по́йдемъ, до́ндеже про́йдемъ предѣ́лы твоѧ̑.
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
23 И҆ не дадѐ сиѡ́нъ і҆и҃лю проитѝ сквозѣ̀ предѣ́лы своѧ̑: и҆ собра̀ сиѡ́нъ всѧ̑ лю́ди своѧ̑, и҆ и҆зы́де ѡ҆полчи́тисѧ на і҆и҃лѧ въ пꙋсты́ню: и҆ прїи́де во і҆асса́нъ, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ на і҆и҃лѧ.
23 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel.
24 И҆ поразѝ є҆го̀ і҆и҃ль ᲂу҆бі́йствомъ меча̀, и҆ ѡ҆блада́ше земле́ю є҆гѡ̀ ѿ а҆рнѡ́на до і҆аво́ка, да́же до сынѡ́въ а҆мма́нихъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ази́ръ предѣ́лы сынѡ́въ а҆мма́нихъ сꙋ́ть.
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
25 И҆ взѧ̀ і҆и҃ль всѧ̑ гра́ды сїѧ̑: и҆ всели́сѧ і҆и҃ль во всѣ́хъ градѣ́хъ а҆морре́йскихъ, во є҆севѡ́нѣ и҆ во всѣ́хъ подлежа́щихъ є҆мꙋ̀:
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
26 є҆́сть бо є҆севѡ́нъ гра́дъ сиѡ́на царѧ̀ а҆морре́йска: и҆ се́й повоева̀ царѧ̀ мѡа́влѧ пре́жде и҆ взѧ̀ всю̀ зе́млю є҆гѡ̀ ѿ а҆рои́ра да́же до а҆рнѡ́на.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
27 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди рекꙋ́тъ при́точницы: прїиди́те во є҆севѡ́нъ, да согради́тсѧ и҆ сози́ждетсѧ гра́дъ сїѡ́нъ:
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь и҆зы́де ѿ є҆севѡ́на и҆ пла́мень ѿ гра́да сїѡ́на, и҆ поѧдѐ да́же до мѡа́ва, и҆ пожрѐ столпы̀ а҆рнѡ̑нскїѧ:
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 го́ре тебѣ̀, мѡа́ве, погибо́сте, лю́дїе хамѡ́сѡвы: про́дани бы́ша сы́нове и҆́хъ въ заключе́нїе и҆ дщє́ри и҆́хъ плѣ̑нницы царю̀ а҆морре́йскомꙋ сиѡ́нꙋ:
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 и҆ сѣ́мѧ и҆́хъ поги́бнетъ, є҆севѡ́нъ да́же до девѡ́на: и҆ жєны̀ и҆́хъ є҆щѐ разожго́ша ѻ҆́гнь на мѡа́ва.
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Всели́сѧ же і҆и҃ль во всѧ̑ гра́ды а҆моррє́йски:
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 и҆ посла̀ мѡѷсе́й соглѧ́дати і҆ази́ра: и҆ взѧ́ша є҆го̀ и҆ се́ла є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆згна́ша а҆морре́а живꙋ́щаго та́мѡ:
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 и҆ возврати́вшесѧ, прїидо́ша пꙋте́мъ въ васа́нъ. И҆ и҆зы́де ѡ҆́гъ, ца́рь васа́нскїй, проти́вꙋ и҆̀мъ и҆ всѝ лю́дїе є҆гѡ̀ на бра́нь во є҆драі́нъ.
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: не ᲂу҆бо́йсѧ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ преда́хъ є҆го̀ и҆ всѧ̑ лю́ди є҆гѡ̀ и҆ всю̀ зе́млю є҆гѡ̀: и҆ сотвори́ши є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́коже сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ сиѡ́нꙋ царю̀ а҆морре́йскꙋ, и҆́же живѧ́ше во є҆севѡ́нѣ.
34 Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
35 И҆ поразѝ є҆го̀ и҆ сы́ны є҆гѡ̀ и҆ всѧ̑ лю́ди є҆гѡ̀, да́же не ѡ҆ста̀ въ ни́хъ живы́й: и҆ наслѣ́диша зе́млю є҆гѡ̀.
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his 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).
… that Moses, by the inspiration and influence of God, took brass, and made it into the figure of a cross, and set it in the holy tabernacle, and said to the people, "If ye look to this figure, and believe, ye shall be saved thereby." And when this was done, it is recorded that the serpents died, and it is …
This was done: men were bitten; they looked and were healed. What are the biting serpents?
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)
This was the figure which Moses completed by fixing the serpent to a cross, that whoso had been bitten by the living serpent, and looked to the brasen serpent, might be saved by believing.
