OET (OET-RV) Yahweh said, “Listen, I’m about to make an agreement in front of all your people.[fn] I will do miracles that have not been done before anywhere on the earth or in any country of the world. All the people that you’re among will see my work, because what I’m going to do with you is awe-inspiring.

34:10 Because there’s no punctuation in the original Hebrew, it’s not certain if ‘in front of all your people’ goes with what it follows (as the OET-RV has chosen), or with what follows it (as in several other translations).

Key: khaki:verbs, red:negative, green:YHWH.
Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

Starting in this verse, the covenant is largely repeated and consists of two parts: (1) what Yahweh will do, which is detailed in verses 10–11 (and briefly restated in verse 24) and (2) what is required of the Israelites, which is detailed in verses 12–26. For further context, see Exodus 19:5 and following, and 23:20–24:8. Verses 12–26 are another list of ten commandments.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כֹּרֵ֣ת בְּרִית֒

making covenant

To cut a covenant means to make a covenant. The terminology refers to ancient rituals around making covenants, which is illustrated in Genesis 15. See the imagery and how you translated there. Alternate translation: “am about to make a covenant”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

עַמְּ⁠ךָ֙

people,your

Here, the people are referred to as belonging to Moses. This refers to his being their leader. Alternate translation: “the people you lead”

כָל־הָ֠⁠עָם אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּ֨ה בְ⁠קִרְבּ֜⁠וֹ

all the,people which/who you(ms) in/on/at/with,,

This phrase is ambiguous and could refer to: (1) the nations that surrounded Israel or (2) the Israelites (who surrounded Moses). Attempt to maintain the ambiguity if you can; otherwise you may choose one, perhaps following another locally known translation’s choice.

כִּֽי־נוֹרָ֣א ה֔וּא אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנִ֖י עֹשֶׂ֥ה עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

that/for/because/then/when awesome he/it which/who I producing with,you

This means that what Yahweh is doing causes people to be afraid. In this case, people will fear Yahweh when they see what he does. Alternate translation: “for what I am doing with you will cause fear”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

with,you

Here, you refers to Moses and the people of Israel. If your language makes a distinction, use a plural form here.
