Parashat Shemot שְׁמוֹת

1:1Now these are the names of the children of Yisrael (Israel), who came into Mitzrayim (Egypt); every man and his household came with Yaakov (Jacob):

Ve'eleh shemot benei Yisra'el haba'im Mitzraymah et Ya'akov ish uveito ba'u.

אוְאֵ֗לֶּה שְׁמוֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הַבָּאִ֖ים מִצְרָ֑יְמָה אֵ֣ת יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב אִ֥ישׁ וּבֵית֖וֹ בָּֽאוּ׃

1:2Reuven (Reuben), Shimon (Simeon), Levi, and Yehudah (Judah),

Re'uven Shim'on Levi viHudah.

ברְאוּבֵ֣ן שִׁמְע֔וֹן לֵוִ֖י וִֽיהוּדָֽה׃

1:3Yissachar (Issachar), Zevulun (Zebulun), and Binyamin (Benjamin),

Yisaḥar Zevulun uVinyamin.

גיִשָּׂשכָ֥ר זְבוּלֻ֖ן וּבִנְיָמִֽן׃

1:4Dan, and Naftali (Naphtali), Gad, and Asher.

Dan veNaftali Gad ve'Asher.

דדָּ֥ן וְנַפְתָּלִ֖י גָּ֥ד וְאָשֵֽׁר׃

1:5And all the souls that came out of the loins of Yaakov were seventy souls; and Yosef (Joseph) was in Mitzrayim already.

Vayehi kol-nefesh yotze'ei yereḥ-Ya'akov shiv'im nafesh veYosef hayah veMitzrayim.

הוַיְהִ֗י כָּל־נֶ֛פֶשׁ יֹֽצְאֵ֥י יֶֽרֶךְ־יַֽעֲקֹ֖ב שִׁבְעִ֣ים נָ֑פֶשׁ וְיוֹסֵ֖ף הָיָ֥ה בְמִצְרָֽיִם׃

1:6And Yosef died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

Vayamat Yosef veḥol-eḥav veḥol hador hahu.

ווַיָּ֤מָת יוֹסֵף֙ וְכָל־אֶחָ֔יו וְכֹ֖ל הַדּ֥וֹר הַהֽוּא׃

1:7And the children of Yisrael were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Uvenei Yisra'el paru vayishretzu vayirbu vaya'atzmu bim'od me'od vatimale ha'aretz otam.

זוּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל פָּר֧וּ וַיִּשְׁרְצ֛וּ וַיִּרְבּ֥וּ וַיַּֽעַצְמ֖וּ בִּמְאֹ֣ד מְאֹ֑ד וַתִּמָּלֵ֥א הָאָ֖רֶץ אֹתָֽם׃

1:8Now there arose a new king over Mitzrayim, who did not know Yosef.

Vayakom meleḥ-ḥadash al-Mitzrayim asher lo-yada et-Yosef.

חוַיָּ֥קָם מֶֽלֶךְ־חָדָ֖שׁ עַל־מִצְרָ֑יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יָדַ֖ע אֶת־יוֹסֵֽף׃

1:9And he said unto his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Yisrael are more and mightier than we.

Vayomer el-amo hineh am benei Yisra'el rav ve'atzum mimenu.

טוַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֶל־עַמּ֑וֹ הִנֵּ֗ה עַ֚ם בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל רַ֥ב וְעָצ֖וּם מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

1:10Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, when any war befalls us, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.”

Havah nitḥakemah lo pen-yirbeh vehayah ki-tikrenah milḥamah venosaf gam-hu al-sone'einu venilḥam-banu ve'alah min-ha'aretz.

יהָ֥בָה נִתְחַכְּמָ֖ה ל֑וֹ פֶּן־יִרְבֶּ֗ה וְהָיָ֞ה כִּֽי־תִקְרֶ֤אנָה מִלְחָמָה֙ וְנוֹסַ֤ף גַּם־הוּא֙ עַל־שׂ֣נְאֵ֔ינוּ וְנִלְחַם־בָּ֖נוּ וְעָלָ֥ה מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

1:11Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Par’oh (Pharaoh) store cities, Pitom (Pithom) and Ra’amses (Raamses).

Vayasimu alav sarei misim lema'an anoto besivlotam vayiven arei miskenot leFar'oh et-Pitom ve'et-Ra'amses.

יאוַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ עָלָיו֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מִסִּ֔ים לְמַ֥עַן עַנֹּת֖וֹ בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם וַיִּ֜בֶן עָרֵ֤י מִסְכְּנוֹת֙ לְפַרְעֹ֔ה אֶת־פִּתֹ֖ם וְאֶת־רַֽעַמְסֵֽס׃

1:12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Yisrael.

Veḥa'asher ye'anu oto ken yirbeh veḥen yifrotz vayakutzu mipenei benei Yisra'el.

יבוְכַֽאֲשֶׁר֙ יְעַנּ֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ כֵּ֥ן יִרְבֶּ֖ה וְכֵ֣ן יִפְרֹ֑ץ וַיָּקֻ֕צוּ מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

1:13And the Egyptians made the children of Yisrael serve with rigor;

Vaya'avidu Mitzrayim et-benei Yisra'el befareḥ.

יגוַיַּֽעֲבִ֧דוּ מִצְרַ֛יִם אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּפָֽרֶךְ׃

1:14and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.

Vayemararu et-ḥayeihem ba'avodah kashah beḥomer uvilvenim uveḥol-avodah basadeh et kol-avodatam asher-avdu vahem befareḥ.

ידוַיְמָֽרֲר֨וּ אֶת־חַיֵּיהֶ֜ם בַּֽעֲבֹדָ֣ה קָשָׁ֗ה בְּחֹ֨מֶר֙ וּבִלְבֵנִ֔ים וּבְכָל־עֲבֹדָ֖ה בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־עֲבֹ֣דָתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־עָֽבְד֥וּ בָהֶ֖ם בְּפָֽרֶךְ׃

1:15And the king of Mitzrayim spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shifrah (Shiphrah), and the name of the other Pu’ah (Puah);

Vayomer meleḥ Mitzrayim lameyaledot ha'ivriyot asher shem ha'aḥat Shifrah veshem hashenit Pu'ah.

טווַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם לַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֖ת הָֽעִבְרִיֹּ֑ת אֲשֶׁ֨ר שֵׁ֤ם הָֽאַחַת֙ שִׁפְרָ֔ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית פּוּעָֽה׃

1:16and he said, “When you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”

Vayomer beyaledḥen et-ha'ivriyot ure'iten al-ha'ovnayim im-ben hu vahamiten oto ve'im-bat hi vaḥayah.

טזוַיֹּ֗אמֶר בְּיַלֶּדְכֶן֙ אֶת־הָ֣עִבְרִיּ֔וֹת וּרְאִיתֶ֖ן עַל־הָֽאָבְנָ֑יִם אִם־בֵּ֥ן הוּא֙ וַֽהֲמִתֶּ֣ן אֹת֔וֹ וְאִם־בַּ֥ת הִ֖וא וָחָֽיָה׃

1:17But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Mitzrayim commanded them, but saved the male children alive.

Vatirena hameyaledot et-ha'Elohim velo asu ka'asher diber aleihen meleḥ Mitzrayim vateḥayena et-hayeladim.

יזוַתִּירֶ֤אןָ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹת֙ אֶת־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וְלֹ֣א עָשׂ֔וּ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ן מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרָ֑יִם וַתְּחַיֶּ֖יןָ אֶת־הַיְלָדִֽים׃

1:18And the king of Mitzrayim called for the midwives, and said unto them, “Why have you done this thing, and have saved the male children alive?”

Vayikra meleḥ-Mitzrayim lameyaledot vayomer lahen madua asiten hadavar hazeh vateḥayena et-hayeladim.

יחוַיִּקְרָ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֨יִם֙ לַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֔ת וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֔ן מַדּ֥וּעַ עֲשִׂיתֶ֖ן הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַתְּחַיֶּ֖יןָ אֶת־הַיְלָדִֽים׃

1:19And the midwives said unto Par’oh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and give birth before the midwife comes in unto them.”

Vatomarna hameyaledot el-Par'oh ki lo ḥanashim hamitzriyot ha'ivriyot ki-ḥayot henah beterem tavo alehen hameyaledet veyaladu.

יטוַתֹּאמַ֤רְןָ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹת֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה כִּ֣י לֹ֧א כַנָּשִׁ֛ים הַמִּצְרִיֹּ֖ת הָֽעִבְרִיֹּ֑ת כִּֽי־חָי֣וֹת הֵ֔נָּה בְּטֶ֨רֶם תָּב֧וֹא אֲלֵהֶ֛ן הַֽמְיַלֶּ֖דֶת וְיָלָֽדוּ׃

1:20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

Vayeitev Elohim lameyaledot vayirev ha'am vaya'atzmu me'od.

כוַיֵּ֥יטֶב אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֑ת וַיִּ֧רֶב הָעָ֛ם וַיַּֽעַצְמ֖וּ מְאֹֽד׃

1:21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He made them houses.

Vayehi ki-yare'u hameyaledot et-ha'Elohim vaya'as lahem batim.

כאוַיְהִ֕י כִּי־יָֽרְא֥וּ הַֽמְיַלְּדֹ֖ת אֶת־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּ֥עַשׂ לָהֶ֖ם בָּתִּֽים׃

1:22And Par’oh charged all his people, saying, “Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

Vayetzav Par'oh leḥol-amo lemor kol-haben hayilod haye'orah tashliḥuhu veḥol-habat teḥayun.

כבוַיְצַ֣ו פַּרְעֹ֔ה לְכָל־עַמּ֖וֹ לֵאמֹ֑ר כָּל־הַבֵּ֣ן הַיִּלּ֗וֹד הַיְאֹ֨רָה֙ תַּשְׁלִיכֻ֔הוּ וְכָל־הַבַּ֖ת תְּחַיּֽוּן׃

2:1And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took as wife a daughter of Levi.

Vayeleḥ ish mibeit Levi vayikaḥ et-bat-Levi.

אוַיֵּ֥לֶךְ אִ֖ישׁ מִבֵּ֣ית לֵוִ֑י וַיִּקַּ֖ח אֶת־בַּת־לֵוִֽי׃

2:2And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

Vatahar ha'ishah vateled ben vatere oto ki-tov hu vatitzpenehu sheloshah yeraḥim.

בוַתַּ֥הַר הָֽאִשָּׁ֖ה וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֑ן וַתֵּ֤רֶא אֹתוֹ֙ כִּי־ט֣וֹב ה֔וּא וַתִּצְפְּנֵ֖הוּ שְׁלשָׁ֥ה יְרָחִֽים׃

2:3And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with clay and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.

Velo-yaḥlah od hatzefino vatikaḥ-lo tevat gome vataḥmerah vaḥemar uvazafet vatasem bah et-hayeled vatasem basuf al-sefat haye'or.

גוְלֹא־יָֽכְלָ֣ה עוֹד֘ הַצְּפִינוֹ֒ וַתִּקַח־לוֹ֙ תֵּ֣בַת גֹּ֔מֶא וַתַּחְמְרָ֥ה בַֽחֵמָ֖ר וּבַזָּ֑פֶת וַתָּ֤שֶׂם בָּהּ֙ אֶת־הַיֶּ֔לֶד וַתָּ֥שֶׂם בַּסּ֖וּף עַל־שְׂפַ֥ת הַיְאֹֽר׃

2:4And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

Vatetatzav aḥoto meraḥok lede'ah mah-ye'aseh lo.

דוַתֵּֽתַצַּ֥ב אֲחֹת֖וֹ מֵֽרָחֹ֑ק לְדֵעָ֕ה מַה־יֵּֽעָשֶׂ֖ה לֽוֹ׃

2:5And the daughter of Par’oh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to fetch it.

Vatered bat-Par'oh lirḥotz al-haye'or vena'aroteha holeḥot al-yad haye'or vatere et-hatevah betoḥ hasuf vatishlaḥ et-amatah vatikaḥeha.

הוַתֵּ֤רֶד בַּת־פַּרְעֹה֙ לִרְחֹ֣ץ עַל־הַיְאֹ֔ר וְנַֽעֲרֹתֶ֥יהָ הֹֽלְכֹ֖ת עַל־יַ֣ד הַיְאֹ֑ר וַתֵּ֤רֶא אֶת־הַתֵּבָה֙ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַסּ֔וּף וַתִּשְׁלַ֥ח אֶת־אֲמָתָ֖הּ וַתִּקָּחֶֽהָ׃

2:6And when she had opened it, she saw the child; and, behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

Vatiftaḥ vatir'ehu et-hayeled vehineh-na'ar boḥeh vataḥmol alav vatomer miyaldei ha'ivrim zeh.

ווַתִּפְתַּח֙ וַתִּרְאֵ֣הוּ אֶת־הַיֶּ֔לֶד וְהִנֵּה־נַ֖עַר בֹּכֶ֑ה וַתַּחְמֹ֣ל עָלָ֔יו וַתֹּ֕אמֶר מִיַּלְדֵ֥י הָֽעִבְרִ֖ים זֶֽה׃

2:7Then his sister said to Par’oh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call for you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

Vatomer aḥoto el-bat-Par'oh ha'eleḥ vekarati laḥ ishah meineket min ha'ivriyot veteinik laḥ et-hayaled.

זוַתֹּ֣אמֶר אֲחֹתוֹ֘ אֶל־בַּת־פַּרְעֹה֒ הַֽאֵלֵ֗ךְ וְקָרָ֤אתִי לָךְ֙ אִשָּׁ֣ה מֵינֶ֔קֶת מִ֖ן הָֽעִבְרִיֹּ֑ת וְתֵינִ֥ק לָ֖ךְ אֶת־הַיָּֽלֶד׃

2:8And Par’oh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” And the maiden went and called the child’s mother.

Vatomer-lah bat-Par'oh leḥi vateleḥ ha'almah vatikra et-em hayaled.

חוַתֹּֽאמֶר־לָ֥הּ בַּת־פַּרְעֹ֖ה לֵ֑כִי וַתֵּ֨לֶךְ֙ הָֽעַלְמָ֔ה וַתִּקְרָ֖א אֶת־אֵ֥ם הַיָּֽלֶד׃

2:9And Par’oh’s daughter said unto her, “Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages.” And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

Vatomer lah bat-Par'oh heiliḥi et-hayeled hazeh veheinikihu li va'ani eten et-seḥareḥ vatikaḥ ha'ishah hayeled vatenikehu.

טוַתֹּ֧אמֶר לָ֣הּ בַּת־פַּרְעֹ֗ה הֵילִ֜יכִי אֶת־הַיֶּ֤לֶד הַזֶּה֙ וְהֵֽינִקִ֣הוּ לִ֔י וַֽאֲנִ֖י אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶת־שְׂכָרֵ֑ךְ וַתִּקַּ֧ח הָֽאִשָּׁ֛ה הַיֶּ֖לֶד וַתְּנִיקֵֽהוּ׃

2:10And the child grew, and she brought him unto Par’oh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moshe (Moses); and she said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

Vayigdal hayeled vatevi'ehu levat-Par'oh vayehi-lah leven vatikra shemo Mosheh vatomer ki min-hamayim meshitihu.

יוַיִּגְדַּ֣ל הַיֶּ֗לֶד וַתְּבִאֵ֨הוּ֙ לְבַת־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וַֽיְהִי־לָ֖הּ לְבֵ֑ן וַתִּקְרָ֤א שְׁמוֹ֙ משֶׁ֔ה וַתֹּ֕אמֶר כִּ֥י מִן־הַמַּ֖יִם מְשִׁיתִֽהוּ׃

2:11And it came to pass in those days, when Moshe was grown, that he went out unto his brothers, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.

Vayehi bayamim hahem vayigdal Mosheh vayetze el-eḥav vayar besivlotam vayar ish mitzri makeh ish-ivri me'eḥav.

יאוַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֗ם וַיִּגְדַּ֤ל משֶׁה֙ וַיֵּצֵ֣א אֶל־אֶחָ֔יו וַיַּ֖רְא בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם וַיַּרְא֙ אִ֣ישׁ מִצְרִ֔י מַכֶּ֥ה אִֽישׁ־עִבְרִ֖י מֵֽאֶחָֽיו׃

2:12And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Vayifen koh vaḥoh vayar ki ein ish vayaḥ et-hamitzri vayitmenehu baḥol.

יבוַיִּ֤פֶן כֹּה֙ וָכֹ֔ה וַיַּ֖רְא כִּ֣י אֵ֣ין אִ֑ישׁ וַיַּךְ֙ אֶת־הַמִּצְרִ֔י וַיִּטְמְנֵ֖הוּ בַּחֽוֹל׃

2:13And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting; and he said to the one that did the wrong, “Why do you strike your fellow?”

Vayetze bayom hasheni vehineh shenei-anashim ivrim nitzim vayomer larasha lamah takeh re'eḥa.

יגוַיֵּצֵא֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשֵּׁנִ֔י וְהִנֵּ֛ה שְׁנֵֽי־אֲנָשִׁ֥ים עִבְרִ֖ים נִצִּ֑ים וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ לָֽרָשָׁ֔ע לָ֥מָּה תַכֶּ֖ה רֵעֶֽךָ׃

2:14And he said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” And Moshe feared, and said, “Surely the thing is known.”

Vayomer mi sameḥa le'ish sar veshofet aleinu halehorgeni atah omer ka'asher haragta et-hamitzri vayira Mosheh vayomar aḥen noda hadavar.

ידוַיֹּ֠אמֶר מִ֣י שָֽׂמְךָ֞ לְאִ֨ישׁ שַׂ֤ר וְשֹׁפֵט֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ הַֽלְהָרְגֵ֨נִי֙ אַתָּ֣ה אֹמֵ֔ר כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָרַ֖גְתָּ אֶת־הַמִּצְרִ֑י וַיִּירָ֤א משֶׁה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר אָכֵ֖ן נוֹדַ֥ע הַדָּבָֽר׃

2:15Now when Par’oh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moshe. But Moshe fled from the face of Par’oh, and dwelt in the land of Midyan (Midian); and he sat down by a well.

Vayishma Par'oh et-hadavar hazeh vayevakesh laharog et-Mosheh vayivraḥ Mosheh mipenei Far'oh vayeshev be'eretz-Midyan vayeshev al-habe'er.

טווַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה וַיְבַקֵּ֖שׁ לַֽהֲרֹ֣ג אֶת־משֶׁ֑ה וַיִּבְרַ֤ח משֶׁה֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־מִדְיָ֖ן וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב עַל־הַבְּאֵֽר׃

2:16Now the priest of Midyan had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

Uleḥohen Midyan sheva banot vatavonah vatidlenah vatemalenah et-harehatim lehashkot tzon avihen.

2:17And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moshe stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

Vayavo'u haro'im vayegareshum vayakom Mosheh vayoshi'an vayashk et-tzonam.

יזוַיָּבֹ֥אוּ הָֽרֹעִ֖ים וַיְגָֽרְשׁ֑וּם וַיָּ֤קָם משֶׁה֙ וַיּ֣וֹשִׁעָ֔ן וַיַּ֖שְׁקְ אֶת־צֹאנָֽם׃

2:18And when they came to Re’uel (Reuel) their father, he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?”

Vatavonah el-Re'u'el avihen vayomer madua miharten bo hayom.

יחוַתָּבֹ֕אנָה אֶל־רְעוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מַדּ֛וּעַ מִֽהַרְתֶּ֥ן בֹּ֖א הַיּֽוֹם׃

2:19And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.”

Vatomarna ish mitzri hitzilanu miyad haro'im vegam-daloh dalah lanu vayashk et-hatzon.

2:20And he said unto his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”

Vayomer el-benotav ve'ayo lamah zeh azavten et-ha'ish kir'en lo veyoḥal laḥem.

2:21And Moshe was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moshe Tzipporah (Zipporah) his daughter.

Vayo'el Mosheh lashevet et-ha'ish vayiten et-Tziporah vito leMosheh.

כאוַיּ֥וֹאֶל משֶׁ֖ה לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אֶת־הָאִ֑ישׁ וַיִּתֵּ֛ן אֶת־צִפֹּרָ֥ה בִתּ֖וֹ לְמשֶֽׁה׃

2:22And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, “I have been a stranger in a strange land.”

Vateled ben vayikra et-shemo Gershom ki amar ger hayiti be'eretz naḥeriyah.

כבוַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֔ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ גֵּֽרְשֹׁ֑ם כִּ֣י אָמַ֔ר גֵּ֣ר הָיִ֔יתִי בְּאֶ֖רֶץ נָכְרִיָּֽה׃

2:23And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Mitzrayim died; and the children of Yisrael sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

Vayehi vayamim harabim hahem vayamat meleḥ Mitzrayim vaye'aneḥu venei-Yisra'el min-ha'avodah vayiz'aku vata'al shav'atam el-ha'Elohim min-ha'avodah.

2:24And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Avraham (Abraham), with Yitzchak (Isaac), and with Yaakov.

Vayishma Elohim et-na'akatam vayizkor Elohim et-berito et-Avraham et-Yitzḥak ve'et-Ya'akov.

כדוַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת־נַֽאֲקָתָ֑ם וַיִּזְכֹּ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־בְּרִית֔וֹ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם אֶת־יִצְחָ֥ק וְאֶת־יַֽעֲקֹֽב׃

2:25And God looked upon the children of Yisrael, and God took notice of them.

Vayar Elohim et-benei Yisra'el vayeda Elohim.

כהוַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֵּ֖דַע אֱלֹהִֽים׃

3:1Now Moshe kept the flock of Yitro (Jethro) his father-in-law, the priest of Midyan; and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, to Chorev (Horeb).

UMosheh hayah ro'eh et-tzon Yitro ḥoteno kohen Midyan vayinhag et-hatzon aḥar hamidbar vayavo el-har ha'Elohim Ḥorevah.

3:2And the angel of Hashem appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Vayera mal'aḥ Adonai elav belabat-esh mitoḥ haseneh vayar vehineh haseneh bo'er ba'esh vehaseneh einenu ukal.

3:3And Moshe said, “I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

Vayomer Mosheh asurah-na ve'er'eh et-hamar'eh hagadol hazeh madua lo-yiv'ar haseneh.

3:4And when Hashem saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moshe, Moshe.” And he said, “Here I am.”

3:5And He said, “Do not draw near here; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.”

Vayomer al-tikrav halom shal-ne'aleḥa me'al ragleḥa ki hamakom asher atah omed alav admat-kodesh hu.

3:6Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Yaakov.” And Moshe hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Vayomer anoḥi elohei aviḥa elohei Avraham elohei Yitzḥak velohei Ya'akov vayaster Mosheh panav ki yare mehabit el-ha'Elohim.

3:7And Hashem said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Mitzrayim, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

Vayomer Adonai ra'oh ra'iti et-oni ami asher beMitzrayim ve'et-tza'akatam shama'ti mipenei nogesav ki yada'ti et-maḥ'ovav.

3:8and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Kena’ani (Canaanites), and the Chitti (Hittites), and the Emori (Amorites), and the Perizzi (Perizzites), and the Chivi (Hivites), and the Yevusi (Jebusites).

3:9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Yisrael has come unto Me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

3:11And Moshe said unto God, “Who am I, that I should go unto Par’oh, and that I should bring forth the children of Yisrael out of Mitzrayim?”

Vayomer Mosheh el-ha'Elohim mi anoḥi ki eleḥ el-Par'oh veḥi otzi et-benei Yisra'el miMitzrayim.

3:12And He said, “Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be the sign unto you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Mitzrayim, you shall serve God upon this mountain.”

3:13And Moshe said unto God, “Behold, when I come unto the children of Yisrael, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them?”

3:15And God said moreover unto Moshe, “Thus shall you say unto the children of Yisrael: Hashem, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Yaakov, has sent me unto you; this is My name forever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.

3:16Go, and gather the elders of Yisrael together, and say unto them, Hashem, the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, of Yitzchak, and of Yaakov, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Mitzrayim;

3:18And they shall listen to your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Yisrael, unto the king of Mitzrayim, and you shall say unto him, Hashem, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Hashem our God.

3:22But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her that sojourns in her house, articles of silver, and articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and you shall despoil the Egyptians.”

4:2And Hashem said unto him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A rod.”

4:3And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moshe fled from before it.

4:4And Hashem said unto Moshe, “Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail.” And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand;

4:5“that they may believe that Hashem, the God of their fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitzchak, and the God of Yaakov, has appeared unto you.”

4:6And Hashem said furthermore unto him, “Put now your hand into your bosom.” And he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

4:9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, nor listen unto your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land; and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.”

יטוַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהֹוָ֤ה אֶל־משֶׁה֙ בְּמִדְיָ֔ן לֵ֖ךְ שֻׁ֣ב מִצְרָ֑יִם כִּי־מֵ֨תוּ֙ כָּל־הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים הַֽמְבַקְשִׁ֖ים אֶת־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃

4:20And Moshe took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Mitzrayim; and Moshe took the rod of God in his hand.

Vayikaḥ Mosheh et-ishto ve'et-banav vayarkivem al-haḥamor vayashov artzah Mitzrayim vayikaḥ Mosheh et-mateh ha'Elohim beyado.

כוַיִּקַּ֨ח משֶׁ֜ה אֶת־אִשְׁתּ֣וֹ וְאֶת־בָּנָ֗יו וַיַּרְכִּבֵם֙ עַל־הַֽחֲמֹ֔ר וַיָּ֖שָׁב אַ֣רְצָה מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיִּקַּ֥ח משֶׁ֛ה אֶת־מַטֵּ֥ה הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּיָדֽוֹ׃

4:21And Hashem said unto Moshe, “When you go to return into Mitzrayim, see that you do all those wonders before Par’oh, which I have put in your hand; but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh beleḥteḥa lashuv Mitzraymah re'eh kol-hamofetim asher-samti veyadeḥa va'asitam lifnei Far'oh va'ani aḥazek et-libo velo yeshalaḥ et-ha'am.

כאוַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָה֘ אֶל־משֶׁה֒ בְּלֶכְתְּךָ֙ לָשׁ֣וּב מִצְרַ֔יְמָה רְאֵ֗ה כָּל־הַמֹּֽפְתִים֙ אֲשֶׁר־שַׂ֣מְתִּי בְיָדֶ֔ךָ וַֽעֲשִׂיתָ֖ם לִפְנֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֑ה וַֽאֲנִי֙ אֲחַזֵּ֣ק אֶת־לִבּ֔וֹ וְלֹ֥א יְשַׁלַּ֖ח אֶת־הָעָֽם׃

4:22And you shall say unto Par’oh, Thus says Hashem: Yisrael is My son, My firstborn;

Ve'amarta el-Par'oh koh amar Adonai beni veḥori Yisra'el.

כבוְאָֽמַרְתָּ֖ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֔ה בְּנִ֥י בְכֹרִ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

4:23and I say unto you, Let My son go, that he may serve Me; and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, your firstborn.”

Va'omar eleḥa shalaḥ et-beni veya'avdeni vatema'en leshaleḥo hineh anoḥi horeg et-binḥa beḥoreḥa.

כגוָֽאֹמַ֣ר אֵלֶ֗יךָ שַׁלַּ֤ח אֶת־בְּנִי֙ וְיַ֣עַבְדֵ֔נִי וַתְּמָאֵ֖ן לְשַׁלְּח֑וֹ הִנֵּה֙ אָֽנֹכִ֣י הֹרֵ֔ג אֶת־בִּנְךָ֖ בְּכֹרֶֽךָ׃

4:24And it came to pass on the way, at the lodging place, that Hashem met him, and sought to kill him.

Vayehi vadereḥ bamalon vayifgeshehu Adonai vayevakesh hamito.

כדוַיְהִ֥י בַדֶּ֖רֶךְ בַּמָּל֑וֹן וַיִּפְגְּשֵׁ֣הוּ יְהֹוָ֔ה וַיְבַקֵּ֖שׁ הֲמִיתֽוֹ׃

4:25Then Tzipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, “Surely a bridegroom of blood are you to me.”

Vatikaḥ Tziporah tzor vatiḥrot et-orlat benah vataga leraglav vatomer ki ḥatan-damim atah li.

כהוַתִּקַּ֨ח צִפֹּרָ֜ה צֹ֗ר וַתִּכְרֹת֙ אֶת־עָרְלַ֣ת בְּנָ֔הּ וַתַּגַּ֖ע לְרַגְלָ֑יו וַתֹּ֕אמֶר כִּ֧י חֲתַן־דָּמִ֛ים אַתָּ֖ה לִֽי׃

4:26So He let him go. Then she said, “A bridegroom of blood, because of the circumcision.”

Vayiref mimenu az amrah ḥatan damim lamulot.

כווַיִּ֖רֶף מִמֶּ֑נּוּ אָ֚ז אָֽמְרָ֔ה חֲתַ֥ן דָּמִ֖ים לַמּוּלֹֽת׃

4:27And Hashem said to Aharon, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moshe.” And he went, and met him at the mountain of God, and kissed him.

Vayomer Adonai el-Aharon leḥ likrat Mosheh hamidbarah vayeleḥ vayifgeshehu behar ha'Elohim vayishak-lo.

כזוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־אַֽהֲרֹ֔ן לֵ֛ךְ לִקְרַ֥את משֶׁ֖ה הַמִּדְבָּ֑רָה וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַיִּפְגְּשֵׁ֛הוּ בְּהַ֥ר הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיִּשַּׁק־לֽוֹ׃

4:28And Moshe told Aharon all the words of Hashem who had sent him, and all the signs which He had commanded him.

Vayaged Mosheh le'Aharon et kol-divrei Adonai asher shelaḥo ve'et kol-ha'otot asher tzivahu.

כחוַיַּגֵּ֤ד משֶׁה֙ לְאַ֣הֲרֹ֔ן אֵ֛ת כָּל־דִּבְרֵ֥י יְהֹוָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁלָח֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ת כָּל־הָֽאֹתֹ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּֽהוּ׃

4:29And Moshe and Aharon went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Yisrael;

Vayeleḥ Mosheh ve'Aharon vaya'asfu et-kol-ziknei benei Yisra'el.

כטוַיֵּ֥לֶךְ משֶׁ֖ה וְאַֽהֲרֹ֑ן וַיַּ֣אַסְפ֔וּ אֶת־כָּל־זִקְנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

4:30and Aharon spoke all the words which Hashem had spoken unto Moshe, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

Vayedaber Aharon et kol-hadevarim asher-diber Adonai el-Mosheh vaya'as ha'otot le'einei ha'am.

לוַיְדַבֵּ֣ר אַֽהֲרֹ֔ן אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־משֶׁ֑ה וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָֽאֹתֹ֖ת לְעֵינֵ֥י הָעָֽם׃

4:31And the people believed; and when they heard that Hashem had visited the children of Yisrael, and that He had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Vaya'amen ha'am vayishme'u ki-fakad Adonai et-benei Yisra'el veḥi ra'ah et-onyam vayikedu vayishtaḥavu.

לאוַיַּֽאֲמֵ֖ן הָעָ֑ם וַיִּשְׁמְע֡וּ כִּֽי־פָקַ֨ד יְהֹוָ֜ה אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְכִ֤י רָאָה֙ אֶת־עָנְיָ֔ם וַיִּקְּד֖וּ וַיִּשְׁתַּֽחֲוֽוּ׃

5:1And afterward Moshe and Aharon went in, and said to Par’oh, “Thus says Hashem, the God of Yisrael: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.”

Ve'aḥar ba'u Mosheh ve'Aharon vayomeru el-Par'oh koh-amar Adonai elohei Yisra'el shalaḥ et-ami veyaḥogu li bamidbar.

אוְאַחַ֗ר בָּ֚אוּ משֶׁ֣ה וְאַֽהֲרֹ֔ן וַיֹּֽאמְר֖וּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהֹוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־עַמִּ֔י וְיָחֹ֥גּוּ לִ֖י בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

5:2And Par’oh said, “Who is Hashem, that I should obey His voice to let Yisrael go? I do not know Hashem, nor will I let Yisrael go.”

Vayomer Par'oh mi Adonai asher eshma bekolo leshalaḥ et-Yisra'el lo yada'ti et-Adonai vegam et-Yisra'el lo ashaleaḥ.

בוַיֹּ֣אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֔ה מִ֤י יְהֹוָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶשְׁמַ֣ע בְּקֹל֔וֹ לְשַׁלַּ֖ח אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לֹ֤א יָדַ֨עְתִּי֙ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֔ה וְגַ֥ם אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֹ֥א אֲשַׁלֵּֽחַ׃

5:3And they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us; let us go, we pray you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto Hashem our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.”

Vayomeru elohei ha'ivrim nikra aleinu nelaḥah na dereḥ sheloshet yamim bamidbar venizbeḥah la-Adonai eloheinu pen-yifga'enu badever o veḥarev.

5:4And the king of Mitzrayim said unto them, “Why do you, Moshe and Aharon, take the people away from their work? Go unto your burdens.”

Vayomer alehem meleḥ Mitzrayim lamah Mosheh ve'Aharon tafri'u et-ha'am mima'asav leḥu lesivloteiḥem.

דוַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם לָ֚מָּה משֶׁ֣ה וְאַֽהֲרֹ֔ן תַּפְרִ֥יעוּ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם מִמַּֽעֲשָׂ֑יו לְכ֖וּ לְסִבְלֹֽתֵיכֶֽם׃

5:5And Par’oh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”

Vayomer Par'oh hen-rabim atah am ha'aretz vehishbatem otam misivlotam.

הוַיֹּ֣אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֔ה הֵֽן־רַבִּ֥ים עַתָּ֖ה עַ֣ם הָאָ֑רֶץ וְהִשְׁבַּתֶּ֥ם אֹתָ֖ם מִסִּבְלֹתָֽם׃

5:6And Par’oh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

Vayetzav Par'oh bayom hahu et-hanogesim ba'am ve'et-shoterav lemor.

ווַיְצַ֥ו פַּרְעֹ֖ה בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֑וּא אֶת־הַנֹּֽגְשִׂ֣ים בָּעָ֔ם וְאֶת־שֹֽׁטְרָ֖יו לֵאמֹֽר׃

5:7“You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as before; let them go and gather straw for themselves.

Lo tosifun latet teven la'am lilbon halevenim kitmol shilshom hem yeleḥu vekoshshu lahem teven.

זלֹ֣א תֹֽאסִפ֞וּן לָתֵ֨ת תֶּ֧בֶן לָעָ֛ם לִלְבֹּ֥ן הַלְּבֵנִ֖ים כִּתְמ֣וֹל שִׁלְשֹׁ֑ם הֵ֚ם יֵֽלְכ֔וּ וְקֽשְׁשׁ֥וּ לָהֶ֖ם תֶּֽבֶן׃

5:8And the quota of the bricks, which they made before, you shall lay upon them; you shall not diminish any of it; for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

Ve'et-matkonet halevenim asher hem osim temol shilshom tasimu aleihem lo tigre'u mimenu ki-nirpim hem al-ken hem tzo'akim lemor neleḥah nizbeḥah leloheinu.

5:9Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor in it; and let them not regard lying words.”

Tiḥbad ha'avodah al-ha'anashim veya'asu-vah ve'al-yish'u bedivrei-shaker.

טתִּכְבַּ֧ד הָֽעֲבֹדָ֛ה עַל־הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֖ים וְיַֽעֲשׂוּ־בָ֑הּ וְאַל־יִשְׁע֖וּ בְּדִבְרֵי־שָֽׁקֶר׃

5:10And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “Thus says Par’oh: I will not give you straw.

Vayetze'u nogesei ha'am veshoterav vayomeru el-ha'am lemor koh amar Par'oh eineni noten laḥem teven.

יוַיֵּ֨צְא֜וּ נֹֽגְשֵׂ֤י הָעָם֙ וְשֹׁ֣טְרָ֔יו וַיֹּֽאמְר֥וּ אֶל־הָעָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר פַּרְעֹ֔ה אֵינֶ֛נִּי נֹתֵ֥ן לָכֶ֖ם תֶּֽבֶן׃

5:11Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it; yet nothing of your work shall be diminished.”

Atem leḥu keḥu laḥem teven me'asher timtza'u ki ein nigra me'avodatḥem davar.

יאאַתֶּ֗ם לְכ֨וּ קְח֤וּ לָכֶם֙ תֶּ֔בֶן מֵֽאֲשֶׁ֖ר תִּמְצָ֑אוּ כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין נִגְרָ֛ע מֵֽעֲבֹֽדַתְכֶ֖ם דָּבָֽר׃

5:12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Mitzrayim to gather stubble for straw.

Vayafetz ha'am beḥol-eretz Mitzrayim lekoshesh kash lateven.

יבוַיָּ֥פֶץ הָעָ֖ם בְּכָל־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם לְקשֵׁ֥שׁ קַ֖שׁ לַתֶּֽבֶן׃

5:13And the taskmasters pressed them, saying, “Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.”

Vehanogesim atzim lemor kalu ma'aseiḥem devar-yom beyomo ka'asher bihyot hateven.

יגוְהַנֹּֽגְשִׂ֖ים אָצִ֣ים לֵאמֹ֑ר כַּלּ֤וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיכֶם֙ דְּבַר־י֣וֹם בְּיוֹמ֔וֹ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֖ר בִּֽהְי֥וֹת הַתֶּֽבֶן׃

5:14And the officers of the children of Yisrael, whom Par’oh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and today, as before?”

Vayuku shoterei benei Yisra'el asher-samu alehem nogesei Far'oh lemor madua lo ḥilitem ḥakeḥem lilbon kitmol shilshom gam-temol gam-hayom.

5:15Then the officers of the children of Yisrael came and cried unto Par’oh, saying, “Why do you deal thus with your servants?

Vayavo'u shoterei benei Yisra'el vayitz'aku el-Par'oh lemor lamah ta'aseh ḥoh la'avadeḥa.

טווַיָּבֹ֗אוּ שֹֽׁטְרֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּצְעֲק֥וּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר לָ֧מָּה תַֽעֲשֶׂ֦ה כֹ֖ה לַֽעֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃

5:16There is no straw given unto your servants, and they say to us, Make brick; and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”

Teven ein nitan la'avadeḥa ulevenim omerim lanu asu vehineh avadeḥa mukim veḥatat ameḥa.

5:17But he said, “You are idle, you are idle; therefore you say, Let us go and sacrifice to Hashem.

Vayomer nirpim atem nirpim al-ken atem omerim neleḥah nizbeḥah la-Adonai.

יזוַיֹּ֛אמֶר נִרְפִּ֥ים אַתֶּ֖ם נִרְפִּ֑ים עַל־כֵּן֙ אַתֶּ֣ם אֹֽמְרִ֔ים נֵֽלְכָ֖ה נִזְבְּחָ֥ה לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃

5:18Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the quota of bricks.”

Ve'atah leḥu ivdu veteven lo-yinaten laḥem vetoḥen levenim titenu.

יחוְעַתָּה֙ לְכ֣וּ עִבְד֔וּ וְתֶ֖בֶן לֹֽא־יִנָּתֵ֣ן לָכֶ֑ם וְתֹ֥כֶן לְבֵנִ֖ים תִּתֵּֽנוּ׃

5:19And the officers of the children of Yisrael saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your bricks of your daily task.”

Vayir'u shoterei venei-Yisra'el otam bera lemor lo-tigre'u milivneiḥem devar-yom beyomo.

יטוַיִּרְא֞וּ שֹֽׁטְרֵ֧י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֹתָ֖ם בְּרָ֣ע לֵאמֹ֑ר לֹֽא־תִגְרְע֥וּ מִלִּבְנֵיכֶ֖ם דְּבַר־י֥וֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃

5:20And they met Moshe and Aharon, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Par’oh;

Vayifge'u et-Mosheh ve'et-Aharon nitzavim likratam betzetam me'et Par'oh.

כוַיִּפְגְּעוּ֙ אֶת־משֶׁ֣ה וְאֶת־אַֽהֲרֹ֔ן נִצָּבִ֖ים לִקְרָאתָ֑ם בְּצֵאתָ֖ם מֵאֵ֥ת פַּרְעֹֽה׃

5:21and they said unto them, “Hashem look upon you, and judge; because you have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Par’oh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.”

Vayomeru alehem yere Adonai aleiḥem veyishpot asher hi'ashtem et-reiḥenu be'einei Far'oh uve'einei avadav latet-ḥerev beyadam lehorgenu.

5:22And Moshe returned unto Hashem, and said, “Lord, why have You dealt so ill with this people? Why is it that You have sent me?

Vayashov Mosheh el-Adonai vayomar Adonai lamah hare'otah la'am hazeh lamah zeh shelaḥtani.

6:1Then Hashem said unto Moshe, “Now you shall see what I will do to Par’oh; for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.”

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh atah tir'eh asher e'eseh leFar'oh ki veyad ḥazakah yeshaleḥem uveyad ḥazakah yegareshem me'artzo.

5:22And Moshe returned unto Hashem, and said, “Lord, why have You dealt so ill with this people? Why is it that You have sent me?

6:1Then Hashem said unto Moshe, “Now you shall see what I will do to Par’oh; for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.”

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh atah tir'eh asher e'eseh leFar'oh ki veyad ḥazakah yeshaleḥem uveyad ḥazakah yegareshem me'artzo.

27:6He shall cause those that come of Yaakov to take root; Yisrael shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Haba'im yashresh Ya'akov yatzitz ufaraḥ Yisra'el umale'u fenei-tevel tenuvah.

27:7Has He struck him, as He struck those that struck him? Or is he slain according to the slaughter of those that are slain by him?

Hakemakat makehu hikahu im-kehereg harugav horag.

זהַכְּמַכַּ֥ת מַכֵּ֖הוּ הִכָּ֑הוּ אִם־כְּהֶ֥רֶג הֲרֻגָ֖יו הֹרָֽג׃

27:8In measure, when it shoots forth, You will contend with it; He stays His rough wind in the day of the east wind.

Besas'ah beshalḥah terivenah hagah beruḥo hakashah beyom kadim.

27:9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Yaakov be purged; and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten apart, the groves and images shall not stand up.

Laḥen bezot yeḥupar avon-Ya'akov vezeh kol-peri hasir ḥatato besumo kol-avnei mizbeaḥ ke'avnei-gir menupatzot lo-yakumu asherim veḥamanim.

27:10Yet the fortified city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.

27:11When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; the women come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have mercy on them, and He that formed them will show them no favor.

Bivosh ketzirah tishavarnah nashim ba'ot me'irot otah ki lo am-binot hu al-ken lo-yeraḥamenu osehu veyotzero lo yeḥunenu.

27:12And it shall come to pass in that day, that Hashem shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the brook of Mitzrayim, and you shall be gathered one by one, O you children of Yisrael.

Vehayah bayom hahu yaḥbot Adonai mishibolet hanahar ad-naḥal Mitzrayim ve'atem teluketu le'aḥad eḥad benei Yisra'el.

27:13And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great shofar shall be blown, and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Ashur (Assyria), and the outcasts in the land of Mitzrayim, and shall worship Hashem in the holy mountain at Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).

28:1Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Efrayim (Ephraim), whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which is on the head of the fat valley of those that are overcome with wine!

Hoy ateret ge'ut shikorei Efrayim vetzitz novel tzevi tif'arto asher al-rosh gei-shemanim halumei yayin.

28:2Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

28:3The crown of pride, the drunkards of Efrayim, shall be trodden under feet;

Beraglayim teramasnah ateret ge'ut shikorei Efrayim.

28:4and the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the first-ripe fig before the summer, which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.

28:5In that day shall Hashem of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of His people,

Bayom hahu yihyeh Adonai tzeva'ot la'ateret tzevi velitzfirat tif'arah lish'ar amo.

28:6and for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to those that turn the battle to the gate.

Uleruaḥ mishpat layoshev al-hamishpat veligvurah meshivei milḥamah sha'rah.

28:7But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are gone astray; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they have gone astray through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

Vegam-eleh bayayin shagu uvasheḥar ta'u kohen venavi shagu vasheḥar nivle'u min-hayayin ta'u min-hasheḥar shagu baro'eh paku peliliyah.

28:8For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

Ki kol-shulḥanot male'u ki tzo'ah beli makom.

חכִּי כָּל־שֻׁלְחָנ֔וֹת מָֽלְא֖וּ קִ֣יא צֹאָ֑ה בְּלִ֖י מָקֽוֹם׃

28:9Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Those that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

Et-mi yoreh de'ah ve'et-mi yavin shemu'ah gemulei meḥalav atikei mishadayim.

28:10For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little.

Ki tzav latzav tzav latzav kav lakav kav lakav ze'eir sham ze'eir sham.

יכִּ֣י צַ֚ו לָצָו֙ צַ֣ו לָצָ֔ו קַ֥ו לָקָ֖ו קַ֣ו לָקָ֑ו זְעֵ֥יר שָׁ֖ם זְעֵ֥יר שָֽׁם׃

28:11For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people;

Ki bela'agei safah uvelashon aḥeret yedaber el-ha'am hazeh.

יאכִּי בְּלַֽעֲגֵ֣י שָׂפָ֔ה וּבְלָשׁ֖וֹן אַחֶ֑רֶת יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֶל־הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּֽה׃

28:12to whom He said, “This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing”; yet they would not hear.

Asher amar aleihem zot hamenuḥah haniḥu le'ayef vezot hamarge'ah velo avu shemoa.

28:13But the word of Hashem was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Vehayah lahem devar-Adonai tzav latzav tzav latzav kav lakav kav lakav ze'eir sham ze'eir sham lema'an yeleḥu veḥashlu aḥor venishbaru venokeshu venilkadu.

29:22Therefore thus says Hashem, who redeemed Avraham, concerning the house of Yaakov: Yaakov shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.

Laḥen koh-amar Adonai el-beit Ya'akov asher padah et-Avraham lo-atah yevosh Ya'akov velo atah panav yeḥevaru.

29:23But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall sanctify My name; yes, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Yaakov, and shall fear the God of Yisrael.

Ki vir'oto yeladav ma'aseh yaday bekirbo yakdishu shemi vehikdishu et-kedosh Ya'akov ve'et-elohei Yisra'el ya'aritzu.

1:1The words of Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) the son of Chilkiyahu (Hilkiah), of the priests that were in Anatot (Anathoth) in the land of Binyamin;

Divrei Yirmeyahu ben-Ḥilkiyahu min-hakohanim asher ba'Anatot be'eretz Binyamin.

1:2to whom the word of Hashem came in the days of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) the son of Amon king of Yehudah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

Asher hayah devar-Adonai elav bimei Yoshiyahu ven-Amon meleḥ Yehudah bishlosh-esreh shanah lemolḥo.

1:3It came also in the days of Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of Yoshiyahu king of Yehudah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Tzidkiyahu (Zedekiah) the son of Yoshiyahu king of Yehudah, unto the carrying away of Yerushalayim captive in the fifth month.

1:4And the word of Hashem came unto me, saying,

Vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor.

דוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

1:5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet unto the nations.”

Beterem etzareḥa vabeten yeda'tiḥa uveterem tetze mereḥem hikdashtiḥa navi lagoyim netatiḥa.

1:6Then I said, “Ah, Lord Hashem! Behold, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child.”

Va'omar ahah Adonai Elohim hineh lo-yada'ti daber ki-na'ar anoḥi.

ווָֽאֹמַ֗ר אֲהָהּ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֔ה הִנֵּ֥ה לֹֽא־יָדַ֖עְתִּי דַבֵּ֑ר כִּי־נַ֖עַר אָנֹֽכִי׃

1:7But Hashem said unto me, “Do not say, I am a child; for you shall go to all that I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

Vayomer Adonai elay al-tomar na'ar anoḥi ki al-kol-asher eshlaḥaḥa teleḥ ve'et kol-asher atzaveḥa tedaber.

1:8Do not be afraid of their faces; for I am with you to deliver you,” says Hashem.

Al-tira mipeneihem ki-iteḥa ani lehatzileḥa ne'um-Adonai.

חאַל־תִּירָ֖א מִפְּנֵיהֶ֑ם כִּֽי־אִתְּךָ֥ אֲנִ֛י לְהַצִּלֶ֖ךָ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽה׃

1:9Then Hashem put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And Hashem said unto me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

Vayishlaḥ Adonai et-yado vayaga al-pi vayomer Adonai elay hineh natati devaray befiḥa.

1:10See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down; to build, and to plant.”

1:11Moreover the word of Hashem came unto me, saying, “Yirmeyahu, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a rod of an almond tree.”

Vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor mah-atah ro'eh Yirmeyahu va'omar makel shaked ani ro'eh.

1:12Then Hashem said unto me, “You have seen well; for I will hasten My word to perform it.”

Vayomer Adonai elay heitavta lir'ot ki-shoked ani al-devari la'asoto.

1:13And the word of Hashem came unto me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot; and its face is toward the north.”

Vayehi devar-Adonai elay shenit lemor mah atah ro'eh va'omar sir nafuaḥ ani ro'eh ufanav mipenei tzafonah.

1:14Then Hashem said unto me, “Out of the north the evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

Vayomer Adonai elay mitzafon tipataḥ hara'ah al kol-yoshevei ha'aretz.

1:15For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says Hashem; “and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Yerushalayim, and against all its walls round about, and against all the cities of Yehudah.

1:16And I will utter My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken Me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Vedibarti mishpatay otam al kol-ra'atam asher azavuni vayekateru le'elohim aḥerim vayishtaḥavu lema'asei yedeihem.

1:17You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command you; do not be dismayed at their faces, lest I confound you before them.

Ve'atah te'zor motneḥa vekamta vedibarta aleihem et kol-asher anoḥi atzaveka al-teḥat mipeneihem pen-aḥiteḥa lifneihem.

1:18For, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and walls of bronze against the whole land, against the kings of Yehudah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

1:19And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you,” says Hashem, “to deliver you.”

2:1Moreover the word of Hashem came to me, saying,

Vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor.

אוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2:2“Go and cry in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying, Thus says Hashem: I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your betrothal, when you went after Me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

2:3Yisrael was holiness unto Hashem, the firstfruits of His increase; all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them,” says Hashem.
