1 And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, Go and ascend there - you and the people whom you ascended from the land of Misrayim, to the land I oathed to Abraham, to Yischaq and to Yaaqov, saying, To your seed I give it:
2 and I send an angel at your face; and I expel the Kenaaniy the Emoriy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy
3 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I ascend not in your midst; for you are a hard necked people: lest I finish you off in the way.
4 - and when the people hear these evil words, they mourn: and no man puts on his ornaments.
5 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Say to the sons of Yisra El, You are a hard necked people: I ascend in your midst in a blink and finish you off: and now, lower your ornaments from you, so that I know what to work to you.
6 - and the sons of Yisra El strip themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7 And Mosheh takes the tent and spreads it outside the camp far removed from the camp: and calls it the tent of the congregation. And so be it, everyone seeking Yah Veh goes out to the tent of the congregation outside the camp.
8 And so be it, when Mosheh goes out to the tent, all the people rise and every man stations at his tent opening and looks after Mosheh until he goes into the tent.
9 And so be it, as Mosheh enters into the tent, the cloudy pillar descends and stands at the tent opening and he words with Mosheh.
10 And all the people see the cloudy pillar standing at the tent opening: and all the people rise and prostrate - every man in his tent opening.
11 And Yah Veh words to Mosheh face to face, as a man words to his friend: and he turns again into the camp: but his minister Yah Shua, the son of Nun, a lad, departs not from midst the tent.
12 And Mosheh says to Yah Veh, See, you say to me, Ascend this people! - and I know not whom you send with me. And you say, I know you by name! and also, that you find charism in my eyes:
13 and now, I beseech you, if I find charism in your eyes, make known, I beseech, your way, that I know you, that I find charism in your eyes: and see that this goyim is your people.
14 And he says, My face goes and I rest you.
15 And he says to him, If your face goes not, ascend us not there.
15 lest you cut a covenant with them who settle the land; and they whore after their elohim and sacrifice to their elohim; and call you and you eat of his sacrifice;
16 For how is it known here that I and your people find charism in your eyes? Is it not in that you go with us? And we are distinguished, I and your people, from all the people on the face of the earth.
17 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, I also work this word you word: for you find charism in my eyes and I know you by name.
18 And he says, I beseech you, have me see your honor.
19 And he says, I pass all my goodness in front of you and I call the name of Yah Veh at your face; and I grant charism to whom I grant charism and I mercy whom I mercy.
20 He also says, You cannot see my face: for no human sees me and lives.
21 Yah Veh also says, Behold, there is a place by me; and you station yourself on a rock:
22 and so be it, until my honor passes by, I put you in a clift of the rock and cover you with my palm while I pass by:
23 and I turn away my palm that you see my back: but my face is not seen.
31 and Mosheh calls to them; and Aharon and all the hierarchs of the witness return to him: and Mosheh words with them.
