Exodus 34:23

At three times ¹  in the year all your men ²  must appear before the Lord God, ³  the God of Israel.

Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign LORD, the God of Israel.

"Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

Three times each year all the men of Israel must appear before the Sovereign LORD, the God of Israel.

"All your men are to appear before the Master, the GOD of Israel, three times a year.

Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord, the God of Israel.

Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.

"Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the LORD God of Israel.

At three times ¹  in the year all your men ²  must appear before the Lord God, ³  the God of Israel.

¹ tn “Three times” is an adverbial accusative.

² tn Heb “all your males.”

³ tn Here the divine name reads in Hebrew הָאָדֹן יְהוָה (ha’adon yÿhvah), which if rendered according to the traditional scheme of “Lord” for “Yahweh” would result in “Lord Lord.” A number of English versions therefore render this phrase “Lord God,” and that convention has been followed here.

sn The title “Lord” is included here before the divine name (translated “God” here; see Exod 23:17), perhaps to form a contrast with Baal (which means “lord” as well) and to show the sovereignty of Yahweh. But the distinct designation “the God of Israel” is certainly the point of the renewed covenant relationship.
