Exodus in E-Prime with Interlinear Hebrew in IPA
NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher, we use John teaches. ), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet,
we use The apple tastes sweet.), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man, we use God blesses the man.). By performing these linguistic
procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers
The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%
phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.
Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable
elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble
continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as
they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

And believed the people when they heard that had visited the LORD the children

And said Pharaoh Behold [are] many now the people of the land and you make rest

And were beaten the officers of the sons of Israel who had set over them the taskmasters

And spoke Moses before the LORD saying Behold the children of Israel not

And the fish that [are] in the river shall die and shall stink the river and shall loathe

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and stretch out your hand
over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and
over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will flow blood
throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, "Entreat the LORD that He remove the

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Take for yourselves handfuls of soot from a kiln,
and let Moses throw it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.

And said the LORD unto Moses and unto Aaron Take to yourselves

man and on beast unto boils breaking forth [with]sores

So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky,
and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.
vajiku t pia hakivan vajamdu lifne faro vajizrok

And they took ashes of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh and sprinkled

and not could the magicians stand before Moses because of the boils for

And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD
had spoken to Moses.
vajazek jav t lev paro vlo ama alehm

And hardened the LORD the heart of Pharaoh and not he listened unto them
ka-ar dibr jav l mo

13
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and

60
The Plague of Hail

18
"Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as no one has seen in
Egypt from the day it came into existence until now.
hini mamtir ka-et maar barad kaved m-od ar

behold I will cause it to rain about this time tomorrow a hail grievous very such as
lo haja amohu bmitsrajim lmin hajom hivasda v-ad ata

not has been like in Egypt unto the day of the foundation even until now.
19
"Now therefore send, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety.
Every man and beast found in the field that has not gone home when the hail comes down
on them will die."'"

in the field and not he brought home and shall come down on them

20
The one among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD made his servants
and his livestock flee into the houses;
hajare t dvar jav me-avde paro

he who feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh
henis t avadav v-t

hurried to bring into the houses.
21
but he who paid no regard to the word of the LORD left his servants and his livestock in the
field.
va-ar lo sam libo l dvar jav vaja-azov t

And he who not placed in mind unto the word of the LORD and left
avadav v-t miknehu basad

his servants and his livestock in the field.
61
22
Now the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on
all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the
land of Egypt."
vajomr jav l mo nate t jada al

And said the LORD unto Moses Stretch forth your hand toward

heaven that there may be hail on all the land of Egypt on
ha-adam v-al habhema v-al kal esv hasad

man and on beast and on every plant of the field
b-rts mitsrajim
throughout the land of Egypt.
23
Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire
ran down to the earth. And the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.
vajet mo t matehu al haamajim jav natan

When stretched forth Moses his staff toward heaven the LORD sent
kolot uvarad vatihala e artsa vajamter jav

thunder and hail and ran along on the ground and rained the Lord
barad al rts mitsrajim

hail on the land of Egypt
24
So there came hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as
had not happened in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
vajhi varad v-e mitlakaat btok habarad kaved m-od

so there was hail and fire mixed with the hail grievous very
ar lo haja amohu bal rts mitsrajim me-az hajata lgo

such as none there was like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
62
25
The hail struck all that lived in the field through all the land of Egypt, both man and beast;
the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field.
vaja habarad bal rts mitsrajim et kal ar baad

And struck the hail throughout the land of Egypt all that [was] in the field
me-adam v-ad bhema v-et kal esv hasad hika habarad

both man and beast and every plant of the field struck the hail
v-t kal ets hasad iber

and every tree of the field broke.
26
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel lived, no hail occurred.
rak b-rts gon ar am bne jisra-el lo haja barad

Only in the land of Goshen where there the children of Israel not was hail.
27
Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time; the
LORD acts righteously, and I and my people act wickedly.
vajila paro vajikra lmo ul-aharon vajomr alehm

And sent Pharaoh and called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them
atati hapa-am jav hatsadik va-ani v-ami hara-im

I have sinned this time the LORD [is] righteous and I and my people [are] wicked.
28
"Make supplication to the LORD, for we have had enough of God's thunder and hail; and I
will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
hatiru l jav vrav mijot kolot lohim uvarad

entreat unto the LORD for enough has been the thunder mighty and hail
va-aala tem vlo tosifun la-amod

and I will let go you and no longer you shall stay.
63
29
Moses said to him, "As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD;
the thunder will cease and the hail will cease, that you may know that the earth belongs to
the LORD.
vajomr elav mo ktseti t ha-ir fros

and said unto him Moses As soon as I go out of the city I will spread abroad

my hands unto the LORD the thunder shall cease and hail neither
jij od lma-an teda ki jav ha-arts

shall there be any more to the end that you may know that of the LORD [is] the earth.
30
"But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God."
v-ata va-avada jadati ki trm tir-un mipne

But as for you and your servants I know that you will yet fear the presence
jave lohim
of the LORD God.
31
(Now the flax and the barley had become ruined, for the barley remained in the ear and the
flax remained in bud.
vhapita vha-ora nukata ki hasora aviv

And the flax and the barley were struck down for the barley [was] in the ear
vhapita givol
and the flax[ was] in bloom.
32
But the wheat and the spelt did not become ruined, for they ripen late.)
vhaita vhakusmt lo nuku ki afilot hena

But the wheat and the rye not were struck for [were] late they.
64
33
So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the
thunder and the hail ceased, and rain no longer poured on the earth.
vajetse mo me-im paro t ha-ir vajifros kapav

And went out Moses from Pharaoh out of the city and spread abroad his hands
l jav vajadlu hakolot vhabarad umatar lo nita artsa

unto the LORD and ceased the thunders and hail and the rain not poured on the earth.
34
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned again
and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
vajar paro ki adal hamatar vhabarad vhakolot

And saw Pharaoh that were ceased that the rain and the hail and the thunders
vajosf laato vajabed libo hu va-avadav

and yet more he sinned and hardened his heart he and his servants.
35
Pharaoh's heart hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the LORD had
spoken through Moses.
vajezak lev paro vlo ila t bne

And was hardened the heart of Pharaoh not would he let go the children
jisra-el ka-ar dibr jav bjad mo

of Israel as had spoken the LORD by Moses.
Exodus 10 (Back)
The Plague of Locusts

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of
his servants, that I may perform these signs of Mine among them,

And said the LORD unto Moses Go unto Pharaoh for I have hardened

and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your grandson, how I made a
mockery of the Egyptians and how I performed My signs among them, that you may

of your son what things I have worked of the Egyptians and my signs which

3
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of the
Hebrews, 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go,
that they may serve Me.
vajvo mo v-aharon l paro vajomru elav ko amar

And went Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh and said unto him Thus says

the LORD God of the Hebrews until when will you refuse to humble yourself

'For if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your
territory.

Else if refuse you to let go my people behold will I bring tomorrow
arb bigvula
the locusts into your territory.
66
5
'They shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one can see the land. They will also eat
the rest of what has escapedwhat remains to you from the hailand they will eat every
tree which sprouts for you out of the field.

And they shall cover the face of the earth and not will you be able to see

to you from the hail and shall eat every tree that grows

unto you out of the field.
6
'Then your houses shall fill and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the
Egyptians, something which neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from
the day that they came upon the earth until this day.'" And he turned and went out from
Pharaoh.
umal-u vata uvate al avada uvate

and they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses
al mitsrajim ar lo ra-u avotea va-avot

of all the Egyptians which neither have seen your fathers nor your father
avota mijom hejotam al ha-adama ad hajom haz

fathers from the day that they were on the earth to day this.
vajifn vajetse me-im paro

And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
7
Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man remain a snare to us? Let the men go,
that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not realize that Egypt has fallen into
destruction?"
vajomru avde faro elav ad mataj jij z lanu

then said the servants of Pharaoh unto him until when shall be this man to us
lmoke ala t ha-anaim vja-avdu t jav

a snare ? let go the men that they may serve the LORD
lohm hatrm teda ki avda mitsrajim

their God not yet know you that is destroyed that Egypt?
67
8
So officials summoned Moses and Aaron back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve
the LORD your God! Who will go with you?"
vajuav t mo v-t aharon l paro vajomr alehm

and were brought again Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh and he said unto them
lu ivdu t jav lohem mi vami haholim

Go serve the LORD your God ! Who and who shall go with you?
9
Moses said, "We shall go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with
our flocks and our herds we shall go, for we must hold a feast to the LORD."
vajomr mo binarenu uvizkenenu nele bvanenu

And said Moses with our young and with our old We will go with our sons
uvivnotenu btsonenu uvivkarenu nele ki ag

and with our daughters with our flocks and with our herds we will go for a feast
jav lanu
to the LORD by us.
10
Then he said to them, "Thus may the LORD remain with you, if ever I let you and your little
ones go! Take heed, for evil resides in your mind.
vajomr alehm jhi en jav imaem ka-ar aala tm

And he said unto them be thus Let the LORD with you as I will let go you

and your little ones you look indeed for evil before the face.
11
"Not so! Go now, the men among you, and serve the LORD, for that you desire." So officials
drove them out of Pharaoh's presence.
lo en lu na hagvarim v-ivdu t jav ki

not so ! Go now your men and serve the LORD for
ota atm mvakim vajgar otam me-et pne faro

it you seek And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh.
68
12
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts,
that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, even all that
the hail has left."
vajomr jav l mo nate jada al rts mitsrajim

And said the LORD unto Moses Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt
ba-arb v-ja-al al rts mitsrajim vjoal t kal

for the locusts that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every
esv ha-arts t kal ar hi-ir habarad

lant of the land even all that has left the hail.
13
So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the LORD directed an east wind
on the land all that day and all that night; and when it became morning, the east wind
brought the locusts.
vajet mo t matehu al rts mitsrajim jav

And stretched forth Moses his staff over the land of Egypt and the LORD
nohag ru-a kadim ba-arts kal hajom hahu val halajla

brought a wind east on the land all day that and all night
babokr haja vru-a hakadim nasa t ha-arb

when morning it was than the wind east brought the locusts.
14
The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled in all the territory of Egypt; they
seemed very numerous. There had never appeared so many locusts, nor would there
appear so many again.
vaja-al ha-arb al kal rts mitsrajim vajana bol gvul

And went up the locusts over all the land of Egypt and rested in all the territory
mitsrajim kaved m-od lfanav lo haja en arb

of Egypt grievous very before not there were such locusts
kamohu v-aharav lo jij ken

as this and after neither shall be such.
69
15
For they covered the surface of the whole land, so that the land became dark; and they ate
every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Thus nothing
green remained on tree or plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.
vajas t en kal ha-arts vata ha-arts

For they covered the face of all the land so that was darkened the land .
vajoal t kal esv ha-arts v-et kal pri ha-ets

and they did eat every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees

which had left the hail and not there remained any green thing on a tree
uv-ev hasad bal rts mitsrajim

or in the herbs of the field through all the land of Egypt.
16
Then Pharaoh hurriedly called for Moses and Aaron, and he said, "I have sinned against the
LORD your God and against you.
vajmaher paro likro lmo ul-aharon vajomr atati

Then in haste Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and he said I have sinned
jav lohem
against the LORD your God.
17
"Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and make supplication to the LORD
your God, that He would only remove this death from me."
v-ata sa na atati a hapa-am vhatiru jav

Now therefore forgive I pray my sin only this once and entreat the LORD

your God that he may take away from me even the death this.
18
He went out from Pharaoh and made supplication to the LORD.
vajetse me-im paro vajtar l jav

And he went out from Pharaoh and entreated unto the LORD.
70
19
So the LORD shifted the wind to a very strong west wind which took up the locusts and
drove them into the Red Sea; not one locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
vajahafo jav ru-a jam azak m-od vajisa t

And turned the LORD the wind from the west strong mighty and took away
ha-arb vajitkaehu jama suf lo niar arb ad

the locusts and cast them into the sea Red. not there remained locust one

in all the territory of Egypt.
20
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
vajazek jav t lev paro vlo ila t bne

But hardened the LORD the heart of Pharaoh and not did he let go
t bne jisra-el
the children of Israel.
Darkness over the Land

21
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may come
darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which people may feel."
vajomr jav l mo nte jada al haamajim

And said the LORD unto Moses Stretch out your day toward heaven
vihi ho al rts mitsrajim vjame ho

that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt [which] may be felt even darkness.
22
So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and a thick darkness spread over all the land
of Egypt for three days.
vajet mo t jado al haamajim vajhi o

And stretched forth Moses his hand toward heaven and there was a darkness
afela bal rts mitsrajim lot jamim

thick in all the land of Egypt three days.
71
23
They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the
sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

not They saw one another neither rose any from his place for three days .
ulal bne jisra-el haja or bmovotam

but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24
Then Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your
herds stay behind. Even your little ones may go with you."
vajikra faro l mo vajomr lu ivdu t jav rak

And called Pharaoh unto Moses and said Go serve the LORD only
tsonm uvkarm jutsag gam tapm jele imaem

let your flocks and your herds remain also your little ones let go with you.
25
But Moses said, "You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may
sacrifice them to the LORD our God.
vajomr mo gam ata titen bjadenu zvaim v-olot

And said Moses also you must give us sacrifices and burnt offerings
v-asinu jav lohenu

that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26
"Therefore, our livestock too shall go with us; not a hoof shall remain behind, for we shall
take some of them to serve the LORD our God. And until we arrive there, we ourselves
do not know with what we shall serve the LORD."
vgam miknenu jele imanu lo tia-er parsa ki

thereof must we take of them to serve the LORD our God and we not

72
27
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
vajazek jav t lev paro vlo ava lalam

But hardened the LORD heart of Pharaoh and not he would let them go.
28
Then Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me! Beware, do not see my face again, for in the
day you see my face you shall die!"
vajomr lo faro le me-alaj hiamr la l tosf r-ot

and said to him Pharaoh Get you from me! take heed to no more see

Moses said, "You speak correctly; I shall never see your face again!"

God Leads the People

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of
the Philistines, even though it drew near; for God said, "The people might change their
minds when they see war, and return to Egypt."

vajomr mo v-aharon l kal bne jisra-el rv

And said Moses and Aaron unto all the children of Israel At evening
vidatm ki jav hotsi tm me-rts mitsrajim

you shall know that the LORD has brought out you from the land of Egypt.
7
and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, for He hears your grumblings against
the LORD; and what do you consider us, that you grumble against us?"
ubokr ur-itm t kvod jav bam-o t

then in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD for He hears
tlunotem al jav vnanu ma ki talinu alenu

your grumbling against the LORD and we [are] what that murmur against us.
113
The LORD Provides Meat

8
Moses said, "This will happen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and
bread to the full in the morning; for the LORD hears your grumblings which you grumble
against Him. And what do you consider us? You grumble not against us but against the
LORD."
vajomr mo btet jav lam ba-rv basar l--ol vlhm

And said Moses shall give the LORD to you in the evening meat to eat and bread
babokr lisbo-a bimo-a jav t tlunotem ar atm

in the morning to the full because hears the LORD your grumbling that you
malinim alav vnanu ma lo alenu tlunotem

grumble against him and we [have done] what ? not against us your grumblings [are]
ki al jav
but against the LORD.
9
Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, 'Come near
before the LORD, for He has heard your grumblings.'"
vajomr mo l aharon emor l kal adat bne

And spoke Moses unto Aaron Say unto all the congregation the congregation
bne jisra-el kirvu lifne jav ki ama et

of the sons of Israel Come near before the LORD for he has heard
tlunotem
your grumbling.
10
It came about as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they
looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
vaji kbaber aharon l kal adat bne

And it came to pass as spoke Aaron unto the whole congregation of the sons
jisra-el vajifnu l hamidbar vhin kvod jav

of Israel that they looked toward the wilderness and behold the glory of the LORD
nira b-anan
appeared in the cloud.
114
11
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

12
"I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, 'At twilight you
shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill with bread; and you shall know
that I have pre-eminence as the LORD your God.'"
amati t tlunot bne jisra-el daber alehm lemor

I have heard the grumbling of the sons of Israel speak unto them saying
ben ha-arbajim tolu vasar uvabokr tib-u

in the evening you shall eat meat and in the morning you shall be filled
lahm vidatm ki ani jav elohem

with bread that you shall know that I [am] the LORD your God.
13
So it came about at evening that the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the
morning a layer of dew covered the camp.
vajhi va-rv vata-al halav vatas t

And it came to pass that in the evening and came up the quails and covered
hamaan uvabokr hajta ivat hatal saviv lamaan

the camp and in the morning it happened that lay the dew around the camp.
14
When the layer of dew evaporated, behold, on the surface of the wilderness there appeared a
fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground.
va-ta-al ivat hatal vhine al pne hamidbar

when was gone up that lay the dew and behold on the face of the wilderness
dak muspas dak kakfor al ha-arts

[there lay] a small flake-like thing [as] fine as the frost on the ground.
115
15
When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What do we call it?" For they did
not know what to call it. And Moses said to them, "This constitutes the bread which the
LORD has given you to eat.
vajir-u vne jisra-el vajomru i l aiv man hu

when saw the children of Israel [it] they said one unto another manna [is] it ?
ki lo jad-u ma hu vajomr mo alehm hu

for not they knew what it [was] and said And Moses unto them This [is]
halm ar natan jav lam l-ala

the bread that has given the LORD to you to eat.
16
"This the LORD has commanded, 'Gather of it every man as much as he should eat; you
shall take an omer apiece according to the number of persons each of you has in his
tent.'"
z hadavar ar tsiva jav liktu mimnu i

This [is] the thing that has commanded the LORD Gather of it every man
lfi alo omr lagulgolt mispar nafotem

as his mouth his meal an omer for every man according to the number of your persons
i la-ar b-aholo tikau

every man for those in his tent take.
17
The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little.
vaja-asu en bne jisra-el vajilktu hamarb vhamit

and did so the children of Israel and gathered some more And some less.
18
When they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who
had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered as much as he should eat.
vajamodu va-omr vlo hdif hamarb

when they did measure it with an omer and not excess he who gathered much
vahamit lo hsir i lfi

and he who gathered little not did lack every man as his mouth
alo lakatu
his meal gathered.
116
19
Moses said to them, "Let no man leave any of it until morning."
vajomr mo alehm i al joter mimnu ad bokr

And said toward toward man no let leave of it the morning.
20
But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms
and became foul; and Moses grew angry with them.
vlo am-u l mo vajotiru anaim mimnu ad

but not they listened unto Moses and of them left some of it until
bokr vajarum tola-im vajiva vajiktsof alehm mo

the morning and it bred worms and stank and was angry with them Moses .
21
They gathered it morning by morning, every man as much as he should eat; but when the sun
grew hot, it would melt.
vajilktu oto babokr babokr i kfi alo

And they gathered it morning by morning every man as his mouth his meal
vam ham vnamas

and became hot the sun And it melted.
The Sabbath Observed

22
Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. When all
the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,
vajhi bajom haii laktu lhm min ne

and it came to pass that on the day sixth they gathered bread double two
ha-omer la-ad vajavo-u kal nsi-e ha-eda vajagidu lmo

omers for each and came all the rulers of the congregation and told Moses.
117
23
then he said to them, "This the LORD meant: Tomorrow you will have sabbath observance,
a holy sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and
all that you leave over you should put aside until morning."
vajomr alehm hu ar dibr jav abaton

And he said unto them This [is] that which has said the LORD the day of rest
abat kod jav maar et ar tofu efu v-et ar

Sabbath holy to the LORD [is] Tomorrow that bake you will bake and that
tvalu baelu v-et kal ha-odef hanihu lam lmimrt

seethe you will boil and all remaining over lay up to be kept
ad habokr
until the morning.
24
So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and it did not become foul nor did
any worm crawl in it.
vajaniu oto ad habokr ka-ar tsiva mo vlo

And they laid up it until the morning as commanded from Moses and not
hivi vrima lo hajta bo

stink and any worm neither was in it.
25
Moses said, "Eat it today, for today we keep the sabbath to the LORD; today you will not
find it in the field.
vajomr mo iluhu hajom ki abat hajom jav

And said Moses Eat that today for [is] a Sabbath today to the LORD
hajom lo timtsa-uhu baad

today not you will find it in the field.
26
"Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, you will find none."
et jamim tilktuhu uvajom havi-i abat

Six days you shall gather and day but on the seventh [which is] the Sabbath
lo jij bo
none in it there shall be in.
118
27
It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found
none.
vajhi bajom havi-i jats-u min ha-am

And it came to pass on the day seventh [that] there went out some of the people
lilkot vlo matsa-u

to gather and none they found.
28
Then the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and
My instructions?
vajomr jav l mo ad ana me-antm limor

And said the LORD unto Moses until when refuse you to keep
mitsvotaj vtorotaj
my commands and my laws?
29
"See, the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on
the sixth day. Remain every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the
seventh day."
r-u jav natan lam haabat al ken hu noten

See that the LORD has given to you the Sabbath upon thus he gives
lam bajom haii lm jomajim vu i tatav

to you on the day sixth the bread of two days abide you every man in his place
al jetse i mimkomo bajom havi-i

not let go out man of his place on the day seventh.
30
So the people rested on the seventh day.
vajibtu ha-am bajom havi-i

so rested the people on the day seventh.
119
31
The house of Israel named it manna, and it looked like coriander seed, white, and its taste
resembled wafers with honey.
vajikr-u bet jisra-el t mo man vhu kzra

And called the house of Israel the name thereof Manna and it [was] like the seed
gad lavan vtamo ksapihit bidva

conander white and the taste[was] like wafers with honey.
32
Then Moses said, "This the LORD has commanded, 'Keep you keep an omerful of it
throughout your generations, that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'"
vajomr mo z hadivar ar tsiva jav mlo ha-omr

And said Moses This [is] the thing that commands the LORD Fill an omer

of it to be kept for your generations to the end that they may see the bread
ar h-alti tm bamidbar bhotsi tm

with which I have fed you in the wilderness when I brought forth you
me-rts mitsrajim
from the land of Egypt.
33
Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omerful of manna in it, and place it before the
LORD throughout your generations."
vajomr mo l aharon ka tsintsnt aat vtn ama mlo

And said Moses unto Aaron Take pot one and put therein full
ha-omr man vhana oto lifne jav lmimrt ldorotem

an omer of manna and lay up it before the LORD to be kept for the generations.
34
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the Testimony in order to keep
it.
ka-ar tsiva jav l mo vajaniehu aharon lifne

As that commanded the LORD unto Moses so laid it up Aaron before
ha-edut lmimart
the Testimony to be kept.
120
35
The sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate
the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
uvne jisra-el alu t haman arba-im ana ad bo-am

and the children of Israel did eat manna forty years until they came

Now an omer the tenth [part] of an ephah it[is] .
Exodus 17 (Back)
Water in the Rock

1
Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of
Sin, according to the command of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, and there they
could find no water for the people to drink.
vajis-u kal adat bne jisra-el mimidbar sin

And journeyed all the congregation of the sons of Israel from the wilderness of Sin

by stages according to the command of the LORD and pitched at Rephidim

121
2
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water that we may drink." And
Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
vajarv ha-am im mo vajomru tnu lanu majim vnit

and did quarrel the people with Moses and said Give to us water that we may drink .
vajomr lahm mo ma trivun imadi ma tanasun t jav

and said to them Moses Why quarrel with me? do you test the LORD?
3
But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why,
now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock
with thirst?"
vajitsma am ha-am lamajim vajaln ha-am al mo

and thirsted there the people for water and grumbled the people against Moses

and said Why here you have brought us out of Egypt to kill us and

So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do to this people? A little more and
they will stone me."
vajitsak mo l jav lemor ma -s la-am haz

And cried Moses unto the LORD saying What shall I do to the people this?
od m-at uskaluni
ready they are almost to stone me!
5
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders
of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
vajomr jav l mo avor lifne ha-am vka ita

And said the LORD unto Moses Go on before the people and take with you

122
6
"Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and
water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the
elders of Israel.
hini omed lfana am al hatsur bhorev vhikita

behold I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb and you shall strike
vatsur vjats-u mimnu majim vata

the people and did so Moses in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7
He named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and
because they tested the LORD, saying, "Does the LORD dwell among us, or not?"
vajikra em hamagom masa umriva al riv

And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarreling
bne jisra-el v-al nasotam t jav lemor haje

of the sons and because they tested the Lord is the LORD

Amalek Fought
8
Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
vajavo amalek vajilam im jisra-el birfidim

Then came Amalek and fought with Israel at Rephidim:
9
So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I
will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."
vajomr mo l jhou-a bar lanu anaim vtse hilaem

And said Moses unto Joshua Choose to us men and go out to fight
ba-amlk maar anoi nitsav al ro hagiva

against Amalek Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill
umat halelohim bjadi

and with the staff of God in my hand.
123
10
Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went
up to the top of the hill.
vaja-a jhou-a ka-ar amar lo mo lhilahem ba-amalek

so did Joshua as had said to him Moses and fought against Amalek
umo aharon vur alu ro hagiva

and Moses Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11
So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his
hand down, Amalek prevailed.
vhaja ka-ar jarim mo jado vgavar jisra-el va-ar

and it came to pass when held up Moses his hand that prevailed Israel and when
jani-a jado vgavar amalk

he let down his hand then prevailed Amalek.
12
But Moses' hands felt heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it;
and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his
hands remained steady until the sun set.
vide mo kvedim vajiku vn vajasimu tatav

The hands of Moses [were] heavy and they took a stone and out it under him
vajev aleha v-aharon vur tamu vjadav miz ad

and he sat thereon and Aaron and Hur held up his hands on one the one
umiz ead vajhi jadav emuna ad bo

and on the other side the other and were his hands steady until the going down

13
So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
vajaalo jhou-a t amalk v-t amo lfi harv

And overwhelmed Joshua Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
124
14
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua,
that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."
vajomr jav l mo ktov zot zikaron basefr

And said the LORD unto Moses Write this [for] a memorial in a book

16
and he said, "The LORD has sworn; the LORD will have war against Amalek from

jav b-amalk midor dor

12

came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses' father-in-law before God.
vajika jitro oten mo ola uzvaim lelohim

The Golden Calf

1
Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people
assembled about Aaron and said to him, "Come, make us a god who will go before us; as
for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what
has become of him."

Aaron said to them, "Tear off the gold rings which your wives have in their ears, your sons,
and your daughters, and bring them to me."

and said unto them Aaron Break off earrings the golden that [are] in the ears
nem bnem uvnotem vhavi-u elaj

of your wives of your sons and of your daughters and bring them unto me.
3
Then all the people tore off the gold rings which they wore in their ears and brought them to
Aaron.
vajitparku kal ha-am t nizme hazahav ar b-aznehm

And broke off all the people earrings the golden that [were] in their ears
vajavi-u l aharon
and brought [them] unto Aaron.
4
He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten
calf; and they said, "This you will consider your god, O Israel, who brought you up from
the land of Egypt."
vajia mijadam vajatsar oto bart

And he received [them] from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool
vaja-asehu egl masa vajomru el eloha jisra-el

and he made a calf molten and they said These [are] your gods O Israel

that brought you up out of the land of Egypt!
5
Now when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation and
said, "Tomorrow you shall keep a feast to the LORD."
vajar aharon vajiven mizbe-a lfanav vajikra aharon

when saw Aaron [it] he built an altar before it and made proclamation Aaron

and said a feast to the LORD Tomorrow.

So the next day they rose early and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and
the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

And they rose up early on the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought

peace offerings and sat the people to eat and to drink and rose up to play.
7
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up
from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
vajdaber jav l mo l red ki

And said the LORD unto Moses Go get you down for
ihet ama ar h-eleta me-rts mitsrajim

have corrupted themselves your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt.
8
"They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have made
for themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it and have sacrificed to it and said,
'This you will consider your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!'"
saru maher min hadr ar tsivitim asu

They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded! they have made

to them a calf molten and have worshiped to it and have sacrifices to it and have said

9
The LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, they appear an obstinate
people.
vajomr jav l mo ra-iti t ha-am haz vhin

And said the LORD unto Moses I have seen people this and behold
am ka orf hu
a people stiff necked it [is].
234
10
"Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them;
and I will make of you a great nation."
v-ata hania li vjiar api vahm

Now therefore let alone to me that may become hot my wrath against them
va-aalem v--e ota lgo gadol

that I may consume and I will make you a nation great.
Moses' Entreaty
11
Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does Your anger burn
against Your people whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great
power and with a mighty hand?
vajal mo t pne jav elohav vajomr lama

Ans sought Moses the face of the LORD his God and said why

LORD does become hot your wrath against your people that you have brought forth

out of the land of Egypt with power great and with a hand mighty?
12
"Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'With evil intent He brought them out to kill them
in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth'? Turn from Your burning
anger and change Your mind about doing harm to Your people.
lama jomru mitsrajim lemor bra-a hotsiam laharog otam

Why speak the Egyptians saying For harm did he bring them out to slay them

in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth?

Now turn from your burning wrath and relent of this harm to Your people.
235
13
"Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and
said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this
land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it
forever.'"

of heaven and all land this that I have spoken of will I give

to your descendants and they shall inherit [it] forever.
14
So the LORD changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.
vajinam jav al hara-a ar dibr la-asot l-amo

And repented the LORD of the harm that he thought to do to His people.
15
Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony
in his hand, tablets which God wrote on both sides; He wrote on one side and the other.
vajifn vajerd mo min hahar une luot

and turned and went down Moses from the mount and the two tablets

when heard Joshua the noise of the people as they shouted then he said unto

But he said,

Nor does it sound like the cry of defeat;
But the sound of singing I hear."

And he said not [it is] the voice of shouting for victory neither [it is] the voice
anot alua kol anot anoi ome-a

of crying for being overcome [but] the sound of singing do I hear.
Moses' Anger
19
It came about, as soon as Moses came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing;
and Moses' anger burned, and he threw the tablets from his hands and shattered them at
the foot of the mountain.
vajhi ka-ar karav l hamaan vajar t

out of his hands the tablets and broke them at the foot of the mount.
237
20
He took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and
scattered it over the surface of the water and made the sons of Israel drink it.

great sin upon them?"
vajomr mo l aharon m asa la ha-am haz ki

And said Moses unto Aaron What did to you people this that
heveta alav ata-a gdola

Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you know the people yourself, that they
show a propensity to do evil.

And said Aaron not let become hot the anger of my lord you know

the people that [are set] on evil they.
23
"For they said to me, 'Make a god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who
brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
vajomru li as lanu elohim ar jelu lfanenu ki

this Moses the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt not we know

238
24
"I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them tear it off.' So they gave it to me, and I
threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."
va-omar lahm lmi zahav hitparaku vajitnu

And I said to them Whoever has any gold let them break off [it] So they gave
li va-aliehu va-e vajetse ha-egl haz

to me and I cast it unto the fire and there came out calf this.
25
Now when Moses saw that the people had gotten out of controlfor Aaron had let them get
out of control to become a derision among their enemies
vajar mo t ha-am ki faru-a hu ki

when saw Moses the people that [were] out of control he for
fra-o aharon limtsa bkamehm

had let them out of control Aaron to be a derision among their enemies .
26
then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever prefers the LORD, come to
me!" And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him.
vajamod mo ba-ar hamaan vajomr mi jav

The stood Moses in the gate of the camp and said Who[is] on the Lord's
elaj vaje-asfu elav kal bne levi

side? and come unto me all [let him come] the sons of Levi.
27
He said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Every man of you put his sword
upon his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man
his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbor.'"
vajomr lahm ko amar jav elohe jisra-el simu i

And he said to them Thus says the LORD God of Israel Put every man

and slay every man his brother and every man his companion

So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell
that day.
vaja-asu vne levi kidvar mo vajipol

And did the children of Levi according to the word from Moses and there fell
min ha-am bajom hahu kilot alfe i

Then Moses said, "Dedicate yourselves today to the LORDfor every man has fought
against his son and against his brotherin order that He may bestow a blessing upon you
today."
vajomr mo milu jdm hajom jav ki

Then said Moses You have been ordained by hand to the LORD even
i bivno uv-aiv vlatet alem hajom

every man on his son and on his brother that he may bestow on you this day
braa

30
On the next day Moses said to the people, "You yourselves have committed a great sin; and
now I go up to the LORD, perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
vajho mima orat vajomr mo l ha-am atm

And it came to pass On the next day that said Moses unto the people
atm atatm hata-a gdola v-ata lel l jav

you have sinned a sin great now I will go up unto the LORD
ulaj aapra b-ad atatm

31
Then Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Alas, this people has committed a great sin,
and they have made a god of gold for themselves.
vajaav mo l jav vajomar ana ata ha-am haz

And returned Moses unto the LORD and said Oh have sinned people this

a sin great and have made to them gods of gold.
240
32
"But now, if You will, forgive their sinand if not, please blot me out from Your book
which You have written!"
v-ata im tisa atatam v-im ajin meni na

and Yet now if you will forgive their sin but if not blot me I pray

The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

made.

And plagued the LORD the people upon that they made

the calf that made Aaron.

The Journey Resumed

1
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you
have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, saying, 'To your descendants I will give it.'
vajdaber jav l mo le ale miz ata vha-am

And said the LORD unto Moses Depart go up from here you and the people

I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob saying To you descendants will I give it.

"I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite,

And I will send before you and angel and I will drive out the Canaanite
ha-emori vhaiti vhaprizi hahivi vhajvusi

the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite the Hivite and the Jebusite.
3
"Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you
have proved yourselves an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way."
l rts zavat alav udva ki lo -el bkirba

Go into a land flowing with milk and honey for not I will I will go up in the middle
ki am k orf ata pn ala badar

for a people stiff necked you [are] lest I consume you in the way.
242
4
When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his
ornaments.
vajima ha-am t hadavar hara haz vajitabalu v-lo

when heard the people news disastrous this then they mourned and not
atu i djo alav

did put man his ornaments on him.
5
For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, 'You have proved yourself an
obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now
therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.'"
vajomr jav l mo mor l bne jisra-el atm am

For had said the LORD unto Moses Say unto the sons of Israel you a people

v-ata hored dja me-ala v-ed-a ma -s la

6
So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
vajitnatslu vne jisra-el t djam mehar horev

And stripped themselves the children of Israel of their ornaments from Mount Horeb [onward].
7
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the
camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go
out to the tent of meeting which located outside the camp.
umo jika t ha-ohl vnata lo mius lamaan harek

and Moses took the tent and pitched to it outside the camp afar off
min hamaan vkara lo ohl mo-ed vhaja

kal mvake jav jetse l ohl mo-ed

Everyone who sought the LORD went out unto the tent of meeting

243
8
And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and
stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent.
vha-ja ktset mo l ha-ohl jakumu kal

And it came to pass when went out Moses unto the tabernacle rose up all

the people and stood every man [at] the door [of] his tent and looked after

Moses until he was gone into the tent.
9
Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance
of the tent; and the LORD would speak with Moses.
vhaja kvo mo ha-ohela jered amud h-anan

And it came to pass entered into as Moses the tent descended the pillar of cloud
pta ha-ohl vdibr im mo

[at] the door of the tent and talked with Moses.

When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people
would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent.

And saw all the people the pillar of cloud standing [at] the door [of] the tent
vkam kal ha-am vhitaavu i pta aholo

and rose up all the people and worshiped every man at the door of his tent.
11
Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend.
When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man,
would not depart from the tent.
vdibr jav l mo panim l panim ka-ar jdaber i

Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up this people!' But You

And he said unto him If not your presence go [with me] not lead us up from here.

Does it not occur by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may distinguish
themselves from all the other people who dwell upon the face of the earth?"

And he said not you can see my face for not can see me man and live.
