כִּי תִפְגַּע שׁוֹר אֹיְבְךָ אוֹ חֲמֹרוֹ תֹּעֶה הָשֵׁב תְּשִׁיבֶנּוּ לוֹ׃
Ki tifgá shór oyvéja o jamoró to’é; hashév teshivénnu lo.
If you encounter your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely return it to him.
23:5
כִּי תִרְאֶה חֲמוֹר שֹׂנַאֲךָ רֹבֵץ תַּחַת מַשָּׂאוֹ וְחָדַלְתָּ מֵעֲזֹב לוֹ עָזֹב תַּעֲזֹב עִמּוֹ׃
Ki tir’é jamór son’achá rovéts taját massa’ó; ve-jadáltá me-azóv lo—azóv ta’azóv immó.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping him—you shall surely help with him.

Hishamér mi-panáv u-shemá be-koló; al-tammér bo, ki lo yissá le-fish’ajém, ki shemí be-kirbó.
Beware of him and heed his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for My Name is within him.

Ve-niggásh Moshé levado el Adonái; ve-hem lo yiggáshu, ve-ha-ám lo ya’alú immó.
Moses alone shall approach Adonai, but they shall not approach, and the people shall not go up with him.
24:3
וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה וַיְסַפֵּר לָעָם אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה וְאֵת כָּל־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים וַיַּעַן כָּל־הָעָם קוֹל אֶחָד וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה נַעֲשֶׂה׃

Moses came and told the people all the words of Adonai and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words that Adonai has spoken we will do.”
24:4
וַיִּכְתֹּב מֹשֶׁה אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה וַיַּשְׁכֵּם בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּבֶן מִזְבֵּחַ תַּחַת הָהָר וּשְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה מַצֵּבָה לִשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃

Va-yishláḥ et na’aréi benéi Yisra’él, va-ya’alú olót va-yizbejúl zevajím shelamím la-Adonái parím.
He sent the young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to Adonai.
24:6

Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he dashed against the altar.
24:7
וַיִּקַּח סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית וַיִּקְרָא בְּאָזְנֵי הָעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמָע׃

He took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “All that Adonai has spoken we will do and we will hear.”
24:8
וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַדָּם וַיִּזְרֹק עַל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה דַם הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם עַל כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה׃

Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant which Adonai has made with you concerning all these words.”

They saw the Elohim of Israel, and under His feet was something like a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heavens in purity.
24:11
וְאֶל־אֲצִילֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־שָׁלַח יָדוֹ וַיֶּחֱזוּ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ׃
Ve-el atziléi benéi Yisra’él lo shaláḥ yadó; va-yejezú et ha-Elohím va-yoj’lú va-yishtú.
Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the children of Israel; they beheld Elohim, and they ate and drank.
24:12
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה עֲלֵה אֵלַי הָהָרָה וֶהְיֵה־שָׁם וְאֶתְּנָה לְךָ אֶת־לֻחֹת הָאֶבֶן וְהַתּוֹרָה וְהַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר כָּתַבְתִּי לְהוֹרֹתָם׃

Adonai said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there, and I will give you the stone tablets, the Torah and the commandment which I have written to instruct them.”

Ve-el ha-zekením amár: shvú lanu ba-zé ad asher nashúv aleijém; ve-hinné Aharón ve-Júr immájém, mi va’al devarím yiggásh aleijém.
To the elders he said, “Remain here for us until we return to you; behold, Aaron and Hur are with you—whoever has a matter, let him approach them.”
24:15
וַיַּעַל מֹשֶׁה אֶל־הָהָר וַיְכַס הֶעָנָן אֶת־הָהָר׃
Va-ya’ál Moshé el ha-hár; va-yekhas he-anán et ha-hár.
Moses went up into the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Behold, I command—declares Adonai—and I will bring them back to this city; they shall fight against it, capture it, and burn it with fire, and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

Ko amár Adonái: im-lo berití yomám va-láylah, jukót shamáyim va-áretz lo samtí.
Thus says Adonai: If My covenant with day and night, the statutes of heaven and earth, I had not established,
33:26
גַּם־זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב וְדָוִד עַבְדִּי אֶמְאָס מִקַּחַת מִזַּרְעוֹ מֹשְׁלִים אֶל־זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב כִּי־אָשִׁיב אֶת־שְׁבוּתָם וְרִחַמְתִּים׃
Gam zera Yaakov ve-David avdi em’as mi-kajat mi-zaro moshlim el zera Avraham Yitzchak ve-Yaakov ki ashib et shevutam ve-rijamtim
then I would reject the offspring of Jacob and of David My servant, so as not to take from his seed rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.
