Exodus 20:15–20:23
כ׳:ט"ו וְכָל־הָעָם֩ רֹאִ֨ים אֶת־הַקּוֹלֹ֜ת וְאֶת־הַלַּפִּידִ֗ם וְאֵת֙ ק֣וֹל הַשֹּׁפָ֔ר וְאֶת־הָהָ֖ר עָשֵׁ֑ן וַיַּ֤רְא הָעָם֙ וַיָּנֻ֔עוּ וַיַּֽעַמְד֖וּ מֵֽרָחֹֽק׃
20:15 All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the blare of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they fell back and stood at a distance.
20:15 And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.
כ׳:ט"ו וְכָל עַמָא חָזָן יָת קָלַיָא וְיָת בָּעוֹרַיָא וְיָת קַל שׁוֹפָרָא וְיָת טוּרָא תָּנֵן וַחֲזָא עַמָא וְזָעוּ וְקָמוּ מֵרָחִיק:
כ׳:ט"ז וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה דַּבֵּר־אַתָּ֥ה עִמָּ֖נוּ וְנִשְׁמָ֑עָה וְאַל־יְדַבֵּ֥ר עִמָּ֛נוּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים פֶּן־נָמֽוּת׃
20:16 “You speak to us,” they said to Moses, “and we will obey; but let not God speak to us, lest we die.”
20:16 And they said unto Moses: ‘Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.’
כ׳:ט"ז וַאֲמָרוּ לְמשֶׁה מַלֵל אַתְּ עִמָנָא וּנְקַבֵּל וְלָא יִתְמַלֵל עִמָנָא מִן קֳדָם יְיָ דִילְמָא נְמוּת:
כ׳:י"ז וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֣ה אֶל־הָעָם֮ אַל־תִּירָאוּ֒ כִּ֗י לְבַֽעֲבוּר֙ נַסּ֣וֹת אֶתְכֶ֔ם בָּ֖א הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבַעֲב֗וּר תִּהְיֶ֧ה יִרְאָת֛וֹ עַל־פְּנֵיכֶ֖ם לְבִלְתִּ֥י תֶחֱטָֽאוּ׃
20:17 Moses answered the people, “Be not afraid; for God has come only in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may be ever with you, so that you do not go astray.”
20:17 And Moses said unto the people: ‘Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that His fear may be before you, that ye sin not.’
כ׳:י"ז וַאֲמַר משֶׁה לְעַמָא לָא תִדְחֲלוּן אֲרֵי בְּדִיל לְנַסָאָה יָתְכוֹן אִתְגְלִי לְכוֹן יְקָרָא דַיְיָ וּבְדִיל דִתְהֵי דַחַלְתֵּהּ עַל אַפֵּיכוֹן בְּדִיל דְלָא תְחוּבוּן:
כ׳:י"ח וַיַּעֲמֹ֥ד הָעָ֖ם מֵרָחֹ֑ק וּמֹשֶׁה֙ נִגַּ֣שׁ אֶל־הָֽעֲרָפֶ֔ל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֖ם הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ (פ)
20:18 So the people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.
20:18 And the people stood afar off; but Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
כ׳:י"ח וְקָם עַמָא מֵרָחִיק וּמשֶׁה קָרֵב לְצַד אַמִיטְתָא דִתַמָן יְקָרָא דַיְיָ:
כ׳:י"ט וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֹּ֥ה תֹאמַ֖ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַתֶּ֣ם רְאִיתֶ֔ם כִּ֚י מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי עִמָּכֶֽם׃
20:19 The LORD said to Moses: Thus shall you say to the Israelites: You yourselves saw that I spoke to you from the very heavens:
20:19 And the LORD said unto Moses: Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
כ׳:י"ט וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְמשֶׁה כִּדְנַן תֵּימַר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אַתּוּן חֲזִיתּוּן אֲרֵי מִן שְׁמַיָא מַלֵילִית עִמְכוֹן:
כ׳:כ׳ לֹ֥א תַעֲשׂ֖וּן אִתִּ֑י אֱלֹ֤הֵי כֶ֙סֶף֙ וֵאלֹהֵ֣י זָהָ֔ב לֹ֥א תַעֲשׂ֖וּ לָכֶֽם׃
20:20 With Me, therefore, you shall not make any gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves any gods of gold.
20:20 Ye shall not make with Me—gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.
כ׳:כ׳ לָא תַעְבְּדוּן קֳדָמָי דַחֲלָן דִכְסַף וְדַחֲלָן דִדְהַב לָא תַעְבְּדוּן לְכוֹן:
כ׳:כ"א מִזְבַּ֣ח אֲדָמָה֮ תַּעֲשֶׂה־לִּי֒ וְזָבַחְתָּ֣ עָלָ֗יו אֶת־עֹלֹתֶ֙יךָ֙ וְאֶת־שְׁלָמֶ֔יךָ אֶת־צֹֽאנְךָ֖ וְאֶת־בְּקָרֶ֑ךָ בְּכָל־הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אַזְכִּ֣יר אֶת־שְׁמִ֔י אָב֥וֹא אֵלֶ֖יךָ וּבֵרַכְתִּֽיךָ׃
20:21 Make for Me an altar of earth and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your sacrifices of well-being,cOthers “peace-offering.” Meaning of shelamin uncertain. your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come to you and bless you.
20:21 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come unto thee and bless thee.
כ׳:כ"א מַדְבַּח אַדְמְתָא תַּעְבֵּד קֳדָמַי וּתְהֵי דַבָּח עֲלוֹהִי יָת עֲלָוָתָךְ וְיָת נִכְסַת קוּדְשָׁךְ מִן עָנָךְ וּמִן תּוֹרָךְ בְּכָל אַתְרָא דִי אַשְׁרֵי יָת שְׁכִנְתִּי לְתַמָן אֶשְׁלַח בִּרְכְּתִי לָךְ וֶאֱבָרֵכִנָךְ:
כ׳:כ"ב וְאִם־מִזְבַּ֤ח אֲבָנִים֙ תַּֽעֲשֶׂה־לִּ֔י לֹֽא־תִבְנֶ֥ה אֶתְהֶ֖ן גָּזִ֑ית כִּ֧י חַרְבְּךָ֛ הֵנַ֥פְתָּ עָלֶ֖יהָ וַתְּחַֽלְלֶֽהָ׃
20:22 And if you make for Me an altar of stones, do not build it of hewn stones; for by wielding your tool upon them you have profaned them.
20:22 And if thou make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast profaned it.
כ׳:כ"ב וְאִם מַדְבַּח אַבְנִין תַּעְבֵּד קֳדָמַי לָא תִבְנֵי יָתְהוֹן פְּסִילָן דִלְמָא תְרִים חַרְבָּךְ עֲלַהּ וּתְחַלְלִנַהּ:
כ׳:כ"ג וְלֹֽא־תַעֲלֶ֥ה בְמַעֲלֹ֖ת עַֽל־מִזְבְּחִ֑י אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹֽא־תִגָּלֶ֥ה עֶרְוָתְךָ֖ עָלָֽיו׃ (פ)
20:23 Do not ascend My altar by steps, that your nakedness may not be exposed upon it.
20:23 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
כ׳:כ"ג וְלָא תִסַק בְּדַרְגִין עַל מַדְבְּחִי דִי לָא תִתְגְלֵי עֶרְיְתָךְ עֲלוֹהִי:
