Exodus 34

vayyomer Adonai el-mosheh pesol-lekha shene-lukhot avanim karishonim vekhatavti al-hallukhot et-haddevarim asher hayu al-hallukhot harishonim asher shibbarta

GOD said to Moses: “Carve two tablets of stone like the first, and I will inscribe upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you shattered.

vehyeh nakhon labboqer ve'alita vabboqer el-har sinay venitsavta li sham al-rosh hahar

Be ready by morning, and in the morning come up to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to Me, on the top of the mountain.

ve'ish lo-ya'aleh immakh vegam-ish al-yera bekhol-hahar gam-hatson vehabbaqar al-yiru el-mul hahar hahu

No one else shall come up with you, and no one else shall be seen anywhere on the mountain; neither shall the flocks and the herds graze at the foot of this mountain.”

vayyifsol shene-lukhot avanim karishonim vayyashkem mosheh vabboqer vayya'al el-har sinay ka'asher tsivvah Adonai oto vayyiqqakh beyado shene lukhot avanim

So Moses carved two tablets of stone, like the first, and early in the morning he went up on Mount Sinai, as GOD had commanded him, taking the two stone tablets with him.

vayyered Adonai be'anan vayyityatsev immo sham vayyiqra veshem Adonai

GOD came down in a cloud—and stood with him there, proclaiming the name GOD [יהוה].

vayya'avor Adonai al-panayw vayyiqra Adonai Adonai el rakhum vekhannun erekh appayim verav-khesed ve'emet

The ETERNAL passed before him and proclaimed: “GOD! GOD! a Deity compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness,

notser khesed la'alafim nose avon vafesha vekhatta'ah venaqqeh lo yenaqqeh poqed avon avot al-banim ve'al-bene vanim al-shilleshim ve'al-ribbe'im

extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin—yet not remitting all punishment, but visiting the iniquity of parents upon children and children’s children, upon the third and fourth generations.”

vayemaher mosheh vayyiqqod artsah vayyishtakhu

Moses hastened to bow low to the ground in homage,

vayyomer im-na matsati khen be'enekha adonay yelekh-na adonay beqirbenu ki am-qesheh-oref hu vesalakhta la'avonenu ulekhattatenu unekhaltanu

and said, “If I have gained Your favor, O my Sovereign, pray, let my Sovereign go in our midst, even though this is a stiffnecked people. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your own!”

vayyomer hinneh anokhi koret berit neged kol-ammekha e'eseh nifla'ot asher lo-nivre'u vekhol-ha'arets uvekhol-haggoyim vera'ah khol-ha'am asher-attah veqirbo et-ma'aseh Adonai ki-nora hu asher ani oseh immakh

[God] said: I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will work such wonders as have not been wrought on all the earth or in any nation; and all the people who are with you shall see how awesome are GOD’s deeds that I will perform for you.

shemor-lekha et asher anokhi metsavvekha hayyom hinni goresh mippanekha et-ha'emori vehakkena'ani vehakhitti vehapperizzi vehakhivvi vehayevusi

Mark well what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

hishamer lekha pen-tikhrot berit leyoshev ha'arets asher attah ba aleha pen-yihyeh lemoqesh beqirbekha

Beware of making a covenant with the inhabitants of the land against which you are advancing, lest they be a snare in your midst.

ki et-mizbekhotam tittotsun ve'et-matsevotam teshabberun ve'et-asherayw tikhrotun

No, you must tear down their altars, smash their pillars, and cut down their sacred posts;

ki lo tishtakhaveh le'el akher ki Adonai qanna shemo el qanna hu

for you must not worship any other god, because the ETERNAL, whose name is Impassioned, is an impassioned God.

pen-tikhrot berit leyoshev ha'arets vezanu akhare elohehem vezavekhu lelohehem veqara lekha ve'akhalta mizzivkho

You must not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for they will lust after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and invite you, and you will eat of their sacrifices.

velaqakhta mibbenotayw levanekha vezanu venotayw akhare elohehen vehiznu et-banekha akhare elohehen

And when you take wives from among their daughters for your sons, their daughters will lust after their gods and will cause your sons to lust after their gods.

elohe massekhah lo ta'aseh-llakh

You shall not make molten gods for yourselves.

et-khag hammatsot tishmor shivat yamim tokhal matsot asher tsivvitikha lemo'ed khodesh ha'aviv ki bekhodesh ha'aviv yatsata mimmitsrayim

You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread—eating unleavened bread for seven days, as I have commanded you—at the set time of the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you went forth from Egypt.

kol-peter rekhem li vekhol-miqnekha tizzakhar peter shor vaseh

Every first issue of the womb is Mine, from all your livestock that drop a male as firstling, whether cattle or sheep.

ufeter khamor tifdeh veseh ve'im-lo tifdeh va'arafto kol bekhor banekha tifdeh velo-yera'u fanay reqam

But the firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a sheep; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. And you must redeem every male first-born among your children. None shall appear before Me empty-handed.

sheshet yamim ta'avod uvayyom hashevi'i tishbot bekharish uvaqqatsir tishbot

Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor; you shall cease from labor even at plowing time and harvest time.

vekhag shavu'ot ta'aseh lekha bikkure qetsir khittim vekhag ha'asif tequfat hashanah

You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first fruits of the wheat harvest; and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

shalosh pe'amim bashanah yera'eh kol-zekhurekha et-pene ha'adon Adonai elohe yisra'el

Three times a year all your males shall appear before the ETERNAL Sovereign, the God of Israel.

ki-orish goyim mippanekha vehirkhavti et-gevulekha velo-yakhmod ish et-artsekha ba'alotekha lera'ot et-pene Adonai elohekha shalosh pe'amim bashanah

I will drive out nations from your path and enlarge your territory; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the ETERNAL your God three times a year.

lo-tishkhat al-khamets dam-zivkhi velo-yalin labboqer zevakh khag happasakh

You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything leavened; and the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover shall not be left lying until morning.

reshit bikkure admatekha tavi bet Adonai elohekha lo-tevashel gedi bakhalev immo

The choice first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the ETERNAL your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

vayyomer Adonai el-mosheh ketov-lekha et-haddevarim ha'elleh ki al-pi haddevarim ha'elleh karatti ittekha berit ve'et-yisra'el

And GOD said to Moses: Write down these commandments, for in accordance with these commandments I make a covenant with you and with Israel.

vayehi-sham im-Adonai arba'im yom ve'arba'im laylah lekhem lo akhal umayim lo shatah vayyikhtov al-hallukhot et divre habberit aseret haddevarim

And he was there with GOD forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water; and he wrote down on the tablets the terms of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

vayehi beredet mosheh mehar sinay ushene lukhot ha'edut beyad-mosheh beridto min-hahar umosheh lo-yada ki qaran or panayw bedabbero itto

So Moses came down from Mount Sinai. And as Moses came down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, Moses was not aware that the skin of his face was radiant, since he had spoken with God.

vayyar aharon vekhol-bene yisra'el et-mosheh vehinneh qaran or panayw vayyire'u miggeshet elayw

Aaron and all the Israelites saw that the skin of Moses’ face was radiant; and they shrank from coming near him.

vayyiqra alehem mosheh vayyashuvu elayw aharon vekhol-hannesi'im ba'edah vayedabber mosheh alehem

But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the chieftains in the assembly returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

ve'akhare-khen niggeshu kol-bene yisra'el vayetsavvem et kol-asher dibber Adonai itto behar sinay

Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he instructed them concerning all that GOD had imparted to him on Mount Sinai.

vayekhal mosheh middabber ittam vayyitten al-panayw masveh

And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

uvevo mosheh lifne Adonai ledabber itto yasir et-hammasveh ad-tseto veyatsa vedibber el-bene yisra'el et asher yetsuvveh

Whenever Moses went in before GOD to converse, he would leave the veil off until he came out; and when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded,

vera'u vene-yisra'el et-pene mosheh ki qaran or pene mosheh veheshiv mosheh et-hammasveh al-panayw ad-bo'o ledabber itto

the Israelites would see how radiant the skin of Moses’ face was. Moses would then put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with God.
