בֶּן־אָדָם דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵֽי־עַמְּךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם אֶרֶץ כִּֽי־אָבִיא עָלֶיהָ חָרֶב וְלָקְחוּ עַם־הָאָרֶץ אִישׁ אֶחָד מִקְצֵיהֶם וְנָתְנוּ אֹתוֹ לָהֶם לְצֹפֶֽה׃

וְשָׁמַע הַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת־קוֹל הַשּׁוֹפָר וְלֹא נִזְהָר וַתָּבוֹא חֶרֶב וַתִּקָּחֵהוּ דָּמוֹ בְּרֹאשׁוֹ יִֽהְיֶֽה׃

then whoever hears the sound of the shofar, and takes no warning; if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

אֵת קוֹל הַשּׁוֹפָר שָׁמַע וְלֹא נִזְהָר דָּמוֹ בּוֹ יִֽהְיֶה וְהוּא נִזְהָר נַפְשׁוֹ מִלֵּֽט׃

He heard the sound of the shofar, and took no warning; his blood shall be upon him. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life.

והוא נזהר נפשו מלט. אם נזהר היה נמלט:

33:6

וְהַצֹּפֶה כִּי־יִרְאֶה אֶת־הַחֶרֶב בָּאָה וְלֹֽא־תָקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר וְהָעָם לֹֽא־נִזְהָר וַתָּבוֹא חֶרֶב וַתִּקַּח מֵהֶם נָפֶשׁ הוּא בַּעֲוֺנוֹ נִלְקָח וְדָמוֹ מִיַּֽד־הַצֹּפֶה אֶדְרֹֽשׁ׃ {פ}

But if the watchman sees the sword comes, and does not blow the shofar, and the people are not warned; if the sword comes, and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
