| 21 So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was. | 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. | 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. | 21 And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was. | 21 And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God is. | 22 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven. | 22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. | 22 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. | 22 And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven. | 22 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye -- ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you; | 23 You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves. | 23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. | 23 Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you. | 23 You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make to yourselves gods of gold. | 23 ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves. | 24 'You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you. | 24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. | 24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. | 24 You shall make an altar of earth unto me, and you shall offer upon it your holocausts and peace offerings, your sheep and oxen, in every place where the memory of my name shall be: I will come to thee, and will bless thee. | 24 'An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee. | 25 'If you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it. | 25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. | 25 And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. | 25 And if thou make an altar of stone unto me, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up a tool upon it, it shall be defiled. | 25 'And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 26 'And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it.' | 26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. | 26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon. | 26 Thou shalt not go up by steps unto my altar, lest thy nakedness be discovered. | 26 neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it. |
