5 Infatti l’Eterno avea detto a Mosè: "Di’ ai figliuoli d’Israele: Voi siete un popolo di collo duro; s’io salissi per un momento solo in mezzo a te, ti consumerei! Or dunque, togliti i tuoi ornamenti, e vedrò com’io ti debba trattare".

For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’ ”
