1And LORD JEHOVAH struck the people because they worshiped the calf that Ahron had made. 2And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Come up; go from here, you and your people whom you brought up from Egypt, to the land that I swore to Abraham and Isaac and Yaquuv and I said to them, ‘To your seed I shall give it.’ 3And I shall send before you the Messenger and he shall destroy the Canaanites and the Amorites and the Khithites and the Perizites and the Khivites and the Yebusites.

4To the land that flows milk and honey, because I am not going up among you, because you are a people of hard necks, lest I shall destroy you in the way.” 5And the people heard this evil response and it grieved them and no man took up his weapons upon him. 6And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You people are hard necks; one hour I shall go up among you and I shall destroy you; now put aside your armor from you and I shall know what I shall do to you.’

7And the children of Israel took their armor from them at the mountain of Khorib. 8And Moshe took his tent and pitched it for him outside of the camp and removed it far from the camp and he called it the Time Tent, and everyone who did inquire from LORD JEHOVAH went out to the Time Tent outside of the camp. 9And whenever Moshe went out to the Tent, all the people stood and were presented, each person, at the door of his tent and looked at the back of Moshe until he entered the tent. 10And when Moshe entered the tent, the pillar of cloud came down and stood at the door of the tent and spoke with Moshe. 11And all the people saw the pillar of cloud that stood in the doorway of the Tabernacle and all the people stood and they worshipped, each person in the door of his tent.

12And LORD JEHOVAH spoke with Moshe face to face, as a man who speaks with his neighbor, and he returned to the encampment and his Attendant, Hosha Bar Nun, a boy, was not departing from within the Tabernacle. 13And Moshe said to LORD JEHOVAH, “See, you have said to me, ‘Bring up this people’, and you have not shown me whom you are sending with me, and you have said: ‘I have known you by name, also you have found love in my eyes.’ 14Now, if I have found love in your eyes, show me your path and I shall know you, because I shall find love in your eyes, and see that your people, this people is great. 15And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Go before me, and I shall give rest to you.” 16He said to him, “If you are not going with us, you will not bring us up from here.

17And in what will it be known here that I have found love in your eyes, I and your people, but when you have gone with us and we are distinguished, I and your people, from all of the nations that are on the face of the earth?” 18And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “According to this word that you said, I shall do, because you have found love in my eyes, and I shall know you by name.” 19And he said, “Show me your glory.” 20And he said, “I shall make all my goodness pass before you and I shall call out the Name LORD JEHOVAH before you and I shall take pity on him on whom I shall take pity and I shall love him whom I shall love.” 21And he said, “You cannot see my face, because no son of man sees me and lives.” 22And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Behold the place before me; stand on the flint. 23And as my glory passes by, I shall put you in the cave of flint and I shall rest my hand over you until I shall pass:
