Pues Jehová dijo a Moisés: Di a los hijos de Israel: Vosotros sois pueblo de dura cerviz: en un momento subiré en medio de ti, y te consumiré: quítate pues ahora tus atavíos, que yo sabré lo que te tengo de hacer.
Et l'Eternel dit à Moïse: Dis aux enfants d'Israël: Vous êtes un peuple au cou roide; si je montais un seul instant au milieu de toi, je te consumerais. Ote maintenant tes ornements de dessus toi, et je verrai ce que je te ferai.
Perciocchè il Signore avea detto a Mosè: Di’ a’ figliuoli d’Israele: Voi siete un popolo di collo duro; in un momento, se salgo nel mezzo di te, io ti avrò consumato; ora dunque, levati d’addosso i tuoi ornamenti, e io saprò quello che avrò da farti.
