- Deuteronomy 5:19
אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה דִּבֶּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־כׇּל־קְהַלְכֶם בָּהָר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ הֶעָנָן וְהָעֲרָפֶל קוֹל גָּדוֹל וְלֹא יָסָף וַיִּכְתְּבֵם עַל־שְׁנֵי לֻחֹת אֲבָנִים וַיִּתְּנֵם אֵלָי׃
GOD spoke those words—those and no more—to your whole congregation at the mountain, with a mighty voice out of the fire and the dense clouds. After inscribing them on two tablets of stone, [God] gave them to me.
Targum Onkelos
יָת פִּתְגָמַיָּא הָאִלֵּין מַלֵּיל יְיָ עִם כָּל קְהָלְכוֹן בְּטוּרָא מִגּוֹ אִישָׁתָא עֲנָנָא וַאֲמִטְּתָא קָל רַב וְלָא פָסִיק וּכְתַבִנּוּן עַל תְּרֵין לוּחֵי אַבְנַיָּא וִיהַבִנּוּן לִי׃
These words did Adonoy address to your entire assemblage at the mountain from within the fire, the cloud, and the thick cloud—a voice great and without cessation. He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and He gave them to me.
- Deuteronomy 5:20
וַיְהִי כְּשׇׁמְעֲכֶם אֶת־הַקּוֹל מִתּוֹךְ הַחֹשֶׁךְ וְהָהָר בֹּעֵר בָּאֵשׁ וַתִּקְרְבוּן אֵלַי כׇּל־רָאשֵׁי שִׁבְטֵיכֶם וְזִקְנֵיכֶם׃
When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, you came up to me, all your tribal heads and elders,
Targum Onkelos
וַהֲוָה כְּמִשְׁמַעְכוֹן יָת קָלָא מִגּוֹ חֲשׁוֹכָא וְטוּרָא בָּעֵר בְּאִישָׁתָא וּקְרֵיבְתּוּן לְוָתִי כָּל רֵישֵׁי שִׁבְטֵיכוֹן וְסָבֵיכוֹן׃
When you heard the voice from within the darkness, as the mountain burned with fire, you approached me—all the leaders of your tribes and your elders.
- Deuteronomy 5:21
וַתֹּאמְרוּ הֵן הֶרְאָנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֶת־כְּבֹדוֹ וְאֶת־גׇּדְלוֹ וְאֶת־קֹלוֹ שָׁמַעְנוּ מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה רָאִינוּ כִּי־יְדַבֵּר אֱלֹהִים אֶת־הָאָדָם וָחָי׃
and said, “The ETERNAL our God has just shown us a majestic Presence, and we have heard God’s voice out of the fire; we have seen this day that humankind may live though addressed by God.
Targum Onkelos
וַאֲמַרְתּוּן הָא אַחְזְיַנָא יְיָ אֱלָהַנָא יָת יְקָרֵיהּ וְיָת רְבוּתֵיהּ וְיָת קָל מֵימְרֵיהּ שְׁמַעְנָא מִגּוֹ אִישָׁתָא יוֹמָא הָדֵין חֲזֵינָא אֲרֵי מְמַלֵּיל יְיָ עִם אֲנָשָׁא וּמִתְקַיַּים׃
You said, ‘‘Look! Adonoy, our God, showed us His glory and His greatness, and His voice [of His word] we heard from within the fire; today we saw that God can address man and he will survive.
- Deuteronomy 5:22
וְעַתָּה לָמָּה נָמוּת כִּי תֹאכְלֵנוּ הָאֵשׁ הַגְּדֹלָה הַזֹּאת אִם־יֹסְפִים ׀ אֲנַחְנוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת־קוֹל יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ עוֹד וָמָתְנוּ׃
Let us not die, then, for this fearsome fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the ETERNAL our God any longer, we shall die.
Targum Onkelos
וּכְעַן לְמָא נְמוּת אֲרֵי תֵיכְלִנַּנָא אִישָׁתָא רַבְּתָא הָדָא אִם מוֹסְפִין אֲנַחְנָא לְמִשְׁמַע יָת קָל מֵימְרָא דַּייָ אֱלָהַנָא עוֹד מָיְתִין אֲנַחְנָא׃
Now, why should we die when this great fire will consume us? If we continue to hear the [word of His] voice of Adonoy, our God, any longer we will die.
- Deuteronomy 5:23
כִּי מִי כׇל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע קוֹל אֱלֹהִים חַיִּים מְדַבֵּר מִתּוֹךְ־הָאֵשׁ כָּמֹנוּ וַיֶּחִי׃
For what mortal ever heard the voice of the living God speak out of the fire, as we did, and lived?
Targum Onkelos
אֲרֵי מַן כָּל בִּשְׂרָא דִּשְׁמַע קָל מֵימְרָא דַּייָ קַיָּימָא מְמַלֵּיל מִגּוֹ אִישָׁתָא כְּוָתַנָא וְאִתְקַיַּים׃
For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the [word of the] living God speaking from within the fire like us, and survived?
- Deuteronomy 5:24
קְרַב אַתָּה וּשְׁמָע אֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר יֹאמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְאַתְּ ׀ תְּדַבֵּר אֵלֵינוּ אֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר יְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְשָׁמַעְנוּ וְעָשִׂינוּ׃
You go closer and hear all that the ETERNAL our God says, and then you tell us everything that the ETERNAL our God tells you, and we will willingly do it.”
Targum Onkelos
קְרַב אַתְּ וּשְׁמַע יָת כָּל דְּיֵימַר יְיָ אֱלָהַנָא וְאַתְּ תְּמַלֵּיל עִמַּנָא יָת כָּל דִּימַלֵּיל יְיָ אֱלָהַנָא עִמָּךְ וּנְקַבֵּיל וְנַעֲבֵיד׃
Approach—yourself—and listen to everything that Adonoy, our God, says; and you will tell us everything that Adonoy, our God, tells you and we will accept and fulfill.

וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהֹוָה אֶת־קוֹל דִּבְרֵיכֶם בְּדַבֶּרְכֶם אֵלָי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶת־קוֹל דִּבְרֵי הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ אֵלֶיךָ הֵיטִיבוּ כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּרוּ׃
GOD heard the plea that you made to me, and GOD said to me, “I have heard the plea that this people made to you; they did well to speak thus.
Targum Onkelos
וּשְׁמִיעַ קֳדָם יְיָ יָת קָל פִּתְגָמֵיכוֹן בְּמַלָּלוּתְכוֹן עִמִּי וַאֲמַר יְיָ לִי שְׁמִיעַ קֳדָמַי יָת קָל פִּתְגָמֵי עַמָּא הָדֵין דְּמַלִּילוּ עִמָּךְ אַתְקִינוּ כָּל דְּמַלִּילוּ׃

- Deuteronomy 5:26
מִי־יִתֵּן וְהָיָה לְבָבָם זֶה לָהֶם לְיִרְאָה אֹתִי וְלִשְׁמֹר אֶת־כׇּל־מִצְוֺתַי כׇּל־הַיָּמִים לְמַעַן יִיטַב לָהֶם וְלִבְנֵיהֶם לְעֹלָם׃
May they always be of such mind, to revere Me and follow all My commandments, that it may go well with them and with their children forever!
Targum Onkelos
לְוֵי דִּיהֵי לִבָּא הָדֵין לְהוֹן לְמִדְחַל קֳדָמַי וּלְמִטַּר יָת כָּל פִּקּוֹדַי כָּל יוֹמַיָּא בְּדִיל דְּיִיטַב לְהוֹן וְלִבְנֵיהוֹן לְעָלַם׃
