1 И отвечал Моисей и сказал: а если они не поверят мне и не послушают голоса моего и скажут: не явился тебе Господь? [что сказать им?]
1 Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’”
2 И сказал ему Господь: что это в руке у тебя? Он отвечал: жезл.
2 Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
3 Господь сказал: брось его на землю. Он бросил его на землю, и жезл превратился в змея, и Моисей побежал от него.
3 He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
4 И сказал Господь Моисею: простри руку твою и возьми его за хвост. Он простер руку свою, и взял его [за хвост]; и он стал жезлом в руке его.
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5 Это для того, чтобы поверили [тебе], что явился тебе Господь, Бог отцов их, Бог Авраама, Бог Исаака и Бог Иакова.
5 “This is so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 Еще сказал ему Господь: положи руку твою к себе в пазуху. И он положил руку свою к себе в пазуху, вынул ее [из пазухи своей], и вот, рука его побелела от проказы, как снег.
6 Yahweh said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
7 [Еще] сказал [ему Господь]: положи опять руку твою к себе в пазуху. И он положил руку свою к себе в пазуху; и вынул ее из пазухи своей, и вот, она опять стала такою же, как тело его.
7 He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
8 Если они не поверят тебе и не послушают голоса первого знамения, то поверят голосу знамения другого;
8 “It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
9 если же не поверят и двум сим знамениям и не послушают голоса твоего, то возьми воды из реки и вылей на сушу; и вода, взятая из реки, сделается кровью на суше.
9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”
10 И сказал Моисей Господу: о, Господи! человек я не речистый, и таков был и вчера и третьего дня, и когда Ты начал говорить с рабом Твоим: я тяжело говорю и косноязычен.
10 Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
11 Господь сказал [Моисею]: кто дал уста человеку? кто делает немым, или глухим, или зрячим, или слепым? не Я ли Господь [Бог]?
11 Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?
12 итак пойди, и Я буду при устах твоих и научу тебя, что тебе говорить.
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
13 [Моисей] сказал: Господи! пошли другого, кого можешь послать.
13 Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
14 И возгорелся гнев Господень на Моисея, и Он сказал: разве нет у тебя Аарона брата, Левитянина? Я знаю, что он может говорить [вместо тебя], и вот, он выйдет навстречу тебе, и, увидев тебя, возрадуется в сердце своем;
14 Yahweh’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 ты будешь ему говорить и влагать слова [Мои] в уста его, а Я буду при устах твоих и при устах его и буду учить вас, что вам делать;
15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
16 и будет говорить он вместо тебя к народу; итак он будет твоими устами, а ты будешь ему вместо Бога;
16 He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
17 и жезл сей [который был обращен в змея] возьми в руку твою: им ты будешь творить знамения.
17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”
18 И пошел Моисей, и возвратился к Иофору, тестю своему, и сказал ему: пойду я, и возвращусь к братьям моим, которые в Египте, и посмотрю, живы ли еще они? И сказал Иофор Моисею: иди с миром. [Спустя много времени умер царь Египетский.]
18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
19 И сказал Господь Моисею в [земле] Мадиамской: пойди, возвратись в Египет, ибо умерли все, искавшие души твоей.
19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”
20 И взял Моисей жену свою и сыновей своих, посадил их на осла и отправился в землю Египетскую. И жезл Божий Моисей взял в руку свою.
20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.
21 И сказал Господь Моисею: когда пойдешь и возвратишься в Египет, смотри, все чудеса, которые Я поручил тебе, сделай пред лицем фараона, а Я ожесточу сердце его, и он не отпустит народа.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
22 И скажи фараону: так говорит Господь [Бог Еврейский]: Израиль есть сын Мой, первенец Мой;
22 You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
23 Я говорю тебе: отпусти сына Моего, чтобы он совершил Мне служение; а если не отпустишь его, то вот, Я убью сына твоего, первенца твоего.
23 and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
24 Дорогою на ночлеге случилось, что встретил его Господь и хотел умертвить его.
24 On the way at a lodging place, Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.
25 Тогда Сепфора, взяв каменный нож, обрезала крайнюю плоть сына своего и, бросив к ногам его, сказала: ты жених крови у меня.
25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
26 И отошел от него Господь. Тогда сказала она: жених крови — по обрезанию.
26 So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
27 И Господь сказал Аарону: пойди навстречу Моисею в пустыню. И он пошел, и встретился с ним при горе Божией, и поцеловал его.
27 Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” He went, and met him on God’s mountain, and kissed him.
28 И пересказал Моисей Аарону все слова Господа, Который его послал, и все знамения, которые Он заповедал.
28 Moses told Aaron all Yahweh’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.
29 И пошел Моисей с Аароном, и собрали они всех старейшин сынов Израилевых,
29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
30 и пересказал [им] Аарон все слова, которые говорил Господь Моисею; и сделал Моисей знамения пред глазами народа,
30 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
31 и поверил народ; и услышали, что Господь посетил сынов Израилевых и увидел страдание их, и преклонились они и поклонились.
31 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

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).
And nevertheless Moses feared and fled. What is it that Moses fled from that serpent?

Thus Moses also first is in fear of the serpent, and not merely in fear, but even with much distress: and then he sees that strange thing come to pass. So these too, having first looked to perish, were then saved, that having confessed the danger, they might learn the greatness of the miracle.

… have a thing which without doubt we can ascribe to them; the dyings of the beasts, the dyings of the first-born, and this especially whence all these things proceeded, namely, the hardening of heart, so that they would not let go the people of God. For when God is said to make this most iniquitous and malignant obstinacy, He maketh …

… in behalf of heartless and disobedient men; and by the very persons who were saved by them, they were brought into extreme danger; and each of them wishing to withdraw men from idolatry; and each being unlearned; for the one was of a "slow tongue," and dull of speech, and the other for his part also somewhat of the rudest …
