This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
12:14 Don’t just take God’s message lightly
14 Strive to live live peacefully with everyone and to distance yourselves from sin, because no one will get to see the master without doing that. 15 Watch carefully to make sure that no one misses out on God’s grace, and to make sure that no bitterness grows up among you that could mess up many people’s lives,[ref] 16 and watch also that none of you are sexually immoral or godless like Esau who sold his own inheritance for a single meal.[ref] 17 As you all know, even afterwards when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he couldn’t find a way to undo what he’d done despite looking for it along with his many tears.[ref]
18 You all haven’t come to what can be touched and to a blazing fire and to darkness and to gloom and to a storm (like Israelis encountered at Mt. Sinai)[ref] 19 and to a a trumpet blast and then God speaking a message. But when they heard him speaking, they pleaded for him not to say anything else to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be killed.”[ref] 21 Even Moses, when he saw how frightening everything was he said, “I’m trembling because I am afraid!”[ref]
22 But in contrast, you’ve all come to the city of the living God (Mt. Zion), to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of God’s messengers to the assembly, 23 and to the assembly of the eldest sons who have been registered in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the people who’ve been declared innocent and who’ve been made perfect, 24 and to Yeshua, the mediator of a new agreement, and to the sprinkled blood that says even more than Abel’s blood did.[ref]
25 Make sure that you all obey God who’s speaking to you, because if the ancient Jews were punished when they were warned on earth (at Mt. Sinai), how much more God will punish any of us who don’t obey what he reveals to us now (from Mount Zion).[ref] 26 When God spoke back then (from Mount Sinai), it made the earth quake. However, at this time he promises, “I’ll make the earth and also heaven quake one more time.”[ref] 27 The words ‘one more time’ mean that God will take away everything that he shakes, since it was him who created all those things. So everything that he doesn’t shake and take will last forever.
28 So then, since we now live in a kingdom that can’t be shaken, we should be thankful, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with awe and the deepest respect 29 because ‘the God we worship is a fire that burns things up’.[ref]
Deu 29:18 (LXX):
Gen 25:29-34:
29 One day, Yacob was cooking some stew when Esaw arrived home from being out, and he was very hungry 30 and asked Yacob, “Can I have some of that red stuff because I’m starving.” (Esaw’s nickname became ‘Edom’, meaning ‘red’, because of that.)
31 “Well, today,” Yacob answered, “sell me your future inheritance.”
32 “Listen, I’m dying of starvation,” said Esaw, “so what use would a future inheritance be to me?”
33 “Well now, make a vow to me,” insisted Yacob.[ref]
So Esaw promised him, effectively selling his future inheritance to Yacob, 34 and Yacob gave him some of the lentil stew and some bread. So Esaw ate and drank and left again, thus despising his own inheritance as firstborn son.
Gen 27:30-40:
27:30 Esau begs for a secondary blessing
30 Then just as Yitshak had finished blessing Yacob, and as Yacob had only just gone out from his father’s presence, his brother Esau his brother returned from his hunting. 31 Then he too prepared some tasty food and brought it in to his father and said, “Let my father get up and eat from the game that his son hunted so that you can bless me.”
32 But Yitshak asked him, “Which son are you?”
“I’m your oldest son Esau.” he answered.
33 Then Yitshak started to trembled badly and he said, “Then who was it that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it all just before you came in, and I blessed that man and indeed, he’ll be blessed.”
34 When Esau heard that, then he let out a very loud and exceedingly bitter wail, and then begged his father, “Bless me too, my father.”
35 But Yitshak replied, “Your brother came in and deceived me and he’s taken your blessing!”
36 “Yes, his name Yacob (meaning ‘deceiver’) suits him exactly!”[ref] said Esau. “First he took my inheritance and man, now he’s also taken my blessing!” Then he asked, “Haven’t you at least saved a blessing for me?”
37 But Yitshak replied, “Listen, I’ve made him master over you, and I’ve given all his brothers to him as slaves. And I’ve sustained him with grain and wine. So then, what else can I do for you, my son?”
38 “Did you only have one blessing that you could give, my father? Esau asked. “Bless me too, my father!” Then Esau sobbed loudly.[ref]
39 Then his father Yitshak responded and said to him,[ref]
“Listen, you and your descendants will live
away from the most fertile land on the earth[fn]
in a place that doesn’t get dew from the sky.
40 You and your descendants will live by your sword,[ref]
and you’ll serve your brother.
But when you become restless
you’ll all break away from serving them.
27:39 The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “away from the fatness of the earth and away from the dew of the heavens from above.” or “in a place/region where the earth/land/ground is not rich/fertile and where there is very little dew/rain.” or “in a place/region where the land/soil is not good for farming and where there is not much rain.” or (2) “of the fatness of the earth and of the dew of the heavens from above.” or “in a place where the land is good/fertile for farming and where there is plenty of dew/rain.”
Exo 19:16-22:
16 So on the morning of the third day, there was thunder and lightning and a thick cloud on the mountain, and an extremely loud horn blast, and all the people in the camp were trembling.[ref] 17 Then Mosheh led the people out of the camp to go and meet God, and they stationed themselves at the foot of the mountain. 18 Yahweh descended onto Mount Sinai surrounded by fire and the entire mountain smoked. Its smoke went up like the smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently. 19 Then it happened after the sound of the horn got extremely loud, that Mosheh was speaking and God was answering him in a voice. 20 Yahweh had descended onto the top of Mount Sinai, and he called Mosheh up to the top of the mountain, so Mosheh ascended. 21 But Yahweh told him, “Go back down and warn the people in case they force their way through to look at me and many of them perish. 22 Also, the priests who come nearer to me, they must be very careful to purify themselves in case I suddenly punish them.”
20:18-21:
20:18 The people are afraid of God
18 All of the people could hear and see the thunder and the lightning, the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking. They trembled when they saw it, and they remained standing at a distance.[ref] 19 They begged Mosheh, “You be the one to speak to us, and we’ll listen, but don’t let God speak directly to us, in case we die.”
20 “Don’t be afraid,” Mosheh responded, “because God has come to test you so that the fear of him will remain with you so that you all won’t disobey him.” 21 So the people stood at a good distance while Mosheh approached toward the thick darkness where God was.
Deu 4:11-12:
5:22-27:
Exo 19:12-13:
12 Set boundaries for the people all around, and tell them, ‘Don’t climb on the mountain or touch its edge, because anyone who does will definitely be executed.[ref] 13 Anyone who touches the mountain mustn’t be touched by anyone else—they must be executed by throwing rocks at them or shooting them with a bow. No person or animal who touches the mountain can stay alive.’ Only after a long trumpet blast should they start to climb the mountain.”
Deu 9:19:
Gen 4:10:
10 “What have you done?” Yahweh asked. “Your brother’s blood is calling out to me from the ground.[ref]
Exo 20:22:
20:22 Instructions about altars
22 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “This is what you need to tell the Israelis: ‘You yourselves have seen that I, Yahweh, have talked with you from heaven.
