Targum
Pseudo Jonathan on Exodus 33:12 – 34:26
And
Mosheh said before the Lord, Lo, what have You said to me, Take this people up?
but You have not made me to know whom You will send with me. By Your Word You
have said, I have ordained you with a goodly name, and you have found favor
before Me. But now I pray, if I have found mercy before You, make me to know
the way of Your goodness, to understand Your mercy when in Your dealing with
just/generous men it falls to them as it (falls) to the guilty, and to the
guilty as to the just/generous; but, on the contrary how it (indeed) befalls
the just/generous according to their righteousness/generosity and the guilty
according to their guilt: that I may find mercy before You, and it be made
manifest by You that this people is Your people. And He said, Await, until the
face of My displeasure will have gone away, and afterward I will give you rest.
And he said to Him, If Your wrath goes not from us, suffer us not to go up from
hence under the frown of Your displeasure. In what will it be known that I have
found mercy before You but in the converse of Your Shekinah with us, that
distinguishing signs may be wrought for us, in the withholding of the Spirit of
prophecy from the nations, and by Your speaking by the Holy Spirit to me and to
Your people, that we may be distinguished from all the peoples upon the face of
the earth? And the Lord said to Mosheh, This thing also which you have spoken
of, will I do; for you have found mercy before Me, and I have ordained you with
a goodly name. And he said, Show now unto me Your glory: but He said, Behold, I
will make all the measure of My goodness pass before you, and I will give
utterance in the good name of the Word of the Lord before you; and I will have
compassion upon whom I see it right to have compassion, and will be merciful to
whom I see it right to have mercy. [JERUSALEM. And He said, Behold, I will make
all the measure of My goodness to pass before you, and I will give utterance in
the Name of the Lord before you, and I will have compassion upon whom I see it
right to have compassion, and will be merciful upon whom I see it right to have
mercy.] And He said, you can not see the visage of My face; for no man can see
Me and abide alive. And the Lord said, Behold, a place is prepared before Me,
and you will stand upon the rock. And it will be that when the glory of My
Shekinah passes before you, I will put you in a cavern of the rock, and will
overshadow you with My Word until the time that I have passed by. [JERUSALEM.
And I will overshadow with My hand.] And I will make the host of angels who
stand and minister before Me to pass by, and you will see the hand-border of
the tephilla of My glorious Shekinah; but the face of the glory of My Shekinah
you will not be able to see. [JERUSALEM. And I will cause the hosts of angels
who stand and minister before Me to pass by, and will make known the oracle;
for the glory of My Shekinah you are not able to behold.
XXXIV.
And the Lord said to Mosheh, Hew yourself two tables of stone, as the former,
and write upon the tables the words that were upon the former tables which you
did break; and be ready in the morning; and at morning ascend Mount Sinai and
stand there before Me on the summit of the mountain. No man will ascend with
you, nor any man be seen on all the mountain, nor sheep, nor oxen grazing on
the side of the mount. And he hewed two tables of stone like the former: and
Mosheh arose in the morning and ascended Mount Sinai, as the Lord had
instructed him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
And
the Lord revealed Himself in the cloud of the glory of His Shekinah, and Mosheh
stood with Him there; and Mosheh called on the Name of the Word of the Lord.
And the Lord made His Shekinah to pass by before his face, and proclaimed, The
Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and near in mercies,
abounding to exercise compassion and truth; keeping mercy and bounty for
thousands of generations, absolving and remitting guilt, passing by rebellions,
and covering sins; pardoning them who convert unto the law, but holding not
guiltless in the great day of judgment those who will not convert; visiting the
sins of fathers upon rebellious children upon the third and upon the fourth
generation. And Mosheh made haste and bowed himself upon the earth and
worshipped. [JERUSALEM. And the glory of the Shekinah of the Lord passed by
before him; and Mosheh prayed, and said, Lord, Lord God, merciful and gracious,
slow to be angry but ready to be merciful, and abounding to exercise kindness
and truth; keeping goodness for thousands of generations; absolving and
remitting sin and transgressions, but not to acquit the guilty in the great day
of judgment; and remembering the sins of wicked fathers upon rebellious
children upon the third and upon the fourth generation. And Mosheh hastened and
prostrated himself upon the earth, and gave thanks and glorified.]
And
he said, If now I have found mercy before the Lord let the Shekinah of the
Glory of the Lord go among us; for it is a people of hard neck; but You pardon
our guilt and our sin, and give us the inheritance of the land which You did
covenant unto our fathers, and change us not to become an alien people. And He
said, Behold, I make covenant that I will not change this people to become an
alien people; nevertheless from you will proceed a multitude of the
righteous/generous; and with all your people will I do wondrous things in the
time when they go into captivity by the rivers of Bavel: for I will bring them
up from thence, and make them dwell from within the river Sambation; and like wonders
will not be created among all the inhabitants of the earth, nor among any
nation. And all the people among whom you will dwell will see in that day the
work of the Lord; for terrible is the thing that I will do with you.
Observe
that which I command you this day: behold, I Chase out from before you the
Amoraee, and Kenaanaee, and Hittaee, and Pherizaee, and Hivaee, and Jebusaee.
Take heed to yourself, lest you strike covenants with the inhabitants of that
land into which you are to enter; that it may not be a stumbling block unto
you. But you will rather destroy their high places, and break their statues,
and cut down their groves; for it is not lawful for you to worship other gods;
for the Lord is zealous and vengeful; His Name is God, the Zealous and the
Avenger. Lest you strike covenant with the dwellers in the land, and they draw
you astray after their idols, and they sacrifice to their idols, and invite
you, and you eat of the sacrifices of their idols and you take of their
daughters for your sons, and when their daughters wander after their idols they
make your sons also go astray after their idols. [JERUSALEM. And they cause to
err.] Molten gods you will not make for you.
You
will observe the feast of the unleavened. Seven days you will eat unleavened
(cakes), as I have commanded you, in the time of the month Abib; for in the
month of Abib you came out free from Mizraim. Whatever first opens the womb is
Mine; and of all cattle you are to consecrate the males, of oxen, and of sheep.
But the firstling of an ass you may redeem with a lamb; but if you redeem him
not, you will cut him off with the blade. And each firstborn of your sons you
must redeem; and they will not appear before Me empty-handed [JERUSALEM. All
firstlings opening the womb you will sanctify unto My Name; all the firstborn
of your males, the first that breaks through the womb, of oxen and of sheep.
20. My people of the house of Israel, it will not be allowed you to see the
Lord your God empty of any precept.]
Six
days will you work, and in the seventh day have rest; in ploughing time and in
harvest time you will rest. [JERUSALEM. In ploughing.] The feast of weeks also
will you make to yourself in the time of the firsts of the wheat harvest; and
the feast of ingathering at the conclusion of the year. Three times in the year
will all your males appear before the Master of the world, the Lord God of
Israel. For I will Chase out the nations from before you, and enlarge your borders;
and no man will covet your land at the time of your going up to appear before
the Lord your God thrice in the year.
You
will not sacrifice the victim of My passover before you have done away with
leaven; nor suffer the fat of the paschal sacrifice to remain about the altar
till the morning. [JERUSALEM. You will not sacrifice with leaven the blood of
the paschal victim, nor suffer the flesh which you sacrifice on the night of
the feast of the first of Pascha to remain from the evening till the morning.]
The best of the first-fruits of your land you will bring to the sanctuary of
the Lord your God. You are not allowed to boil or to eat flesh and milk mixed
together, lest My displeasure be kindled against you, and the fruit of your
trees, with the grapes in their branches and their leaves, be laid waste
together [JERUSALEM. The first (best) of the firstfruits of your produce you
will bring to the sanctuary of the Lord your God. My people of the house of
Israel, you will not be allowed to boil or to eat flesh and milk mixed
together.]
Ashlamatah
for Shabbat Hol HaMoed Sukkoth
Ezekiel
38:18 – 39:16
18
And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of
Israel, says the Lord GOD, that My fury shall arise up in My nostrils.
19
For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath have I spoken: Surely in that
day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of
the field and all creeping things that creep upon the ground, and all the men
that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the
mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall
shall fall to the ground.
21
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says the
Lord GOD; every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will cause
to rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with
him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify Myself,
and sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations;
and they shall know that I am the LORD.
1 ¶ And you, son of man, prophesy
against Gog, and say: Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog,
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
2 and I will turn you about and
lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the
north; and I will bring you upon the mountains of Israel;
3 and I will smite your bow out
of thy left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
4 You shall fall upon the
mountains of Israel, you, and all your bands, and the peoples that are with
you; I will give you unto the ravenous birds of every sort and to the beasts of
the field, to be devoured.
5 You shall fall upon the open
field; for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on
Magog, and on them that dwell safely in the isles; and they shall know that I
am the LORD.
7 And My holy name will I make
known in the midst of My people Israel; neither will I suffer My holy name to
be profaned any more; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy
One in Israel.
8 ¶ Behold, it comes, and it
shall be done, says the Lord GOD; This is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the
cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and use
them as fuel, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and
the hand-staves, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years;
10 so that they shall take no
wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests, for they shall
make fires of the weapons; and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and
rob those that robbed them, says the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in
that day, that I will give unto Gog a place fit for burial in Israel, the
valley of them that pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop them
that pass through; and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and
they shall call it the valley of Hamon-gog. {That is, The multitude of Gog.}
12 And seven months shall the
house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the
land shall bury them, and it shall be to them a renown; in the day that I shall
be glorified, says the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall set apart men
of continual employment, that shall pass through the land to bury with them
that pass through those that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it;
after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And when they that pass
through shall pass through the land, and any sees a man’s bone, then shall he
set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of
Hamon-gog.
16 And Hamonah {That is,
Multitude.} shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
