¹ Im ersten Jahre Darius’, des Sohnes Ahasveros’, aus dem Samen der Meder, welcher über das eich der Chaldäer König geworden war,

⁸ Er ist hinweggenommen worden aus der Angst (Eig. aus der Bedrückung) und aus dem Gericht. Und wer wird sein Geschlecht aussprechen? denn er wurde abgeschnitten aus dem Lande der Lebendigen: wegen der Übertretung meines Volkes hat ihn Strafe (Eig. Schlag, Plage) getroffen. (Und wer von seinen Zeitgenossen bedachte es, daß er… abgeschnitten wurde, indem ihn Strafe traf wegen der Übertretung meines Volkes?)

²⁹ It happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

³⁰ When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

³¹ Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

³² Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

³³ When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

³⁴ But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

³⁵ The children of Israel saw Moses' face, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
