Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
יְהוָ֣ה׀ יְהוָ֔ה אֵ֥ל רַח֖וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן
YHWH YHWH god compassionate and,gracious
God is speaking about himself. If this is confusing in your language, you may use the first person. Alternate translation: “I, Yahweh, am God, and I am merciful and gracious”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
רַח֖וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן
compassionate and,gracious
This is emphasizing that Yahweh cares for people and acts kindly toward them. If doubling would not strengthen the statement here in your language, consider another form that would.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֶ֥רֶךְ אַפַּ֖יִם
slow anger
The phrase long of nostril is an idiom that means Yahweh does not get angry easily or quickly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “slow to anger”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וְרַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת
and,abounding steadfast_love and,faithfulness
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness, you can express the same idea in another way. (For covenant faithfulness, see Exodus 20:6). Alternate translation: “always being faithful to my covenant and always being trustworthy”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת
steadfast_love and,faithfulness
This is emphasizing that Yahweh always does what he promises toward the people he loves. If doubling would not strengthen the statement here in your language, consider another form that would.
34:6 compassion and mercy (see 20:5-6; 33:19 and study notes): The Creator who was revealing himself to the Israelites, and through them to the world, is a God of grace. Neither his justice nor his sovereignty are underlined here, as true as those attributes are. If God were merely just, the Old Testament would have ended at this point, or it would have picked up and started again with an entirely new family. This did not happen because God, in his unique character, is slow to anger and full of unfailing love and faithfulness. These qualities were the basis for his renewal of the covenant.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
