Exodus 34 The LORD said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The LORD said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. ² "Be ready in the morning. Come up on Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. ³ No one shall come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain. Do not let the flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain.” ⁴ And Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and he started early in the morning, and he went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and he took in his hand the two stone tablets. ⁵ The LORD came down in a cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed the name of the LORD. ⁶ And the LORD passed over before him, and he proclaimed, "the LORD, the LORD, God, who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding with loyal love and faithfulness, ⁷ "He graciously loves thousands, and forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin. But he does not leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the ancestors on their children, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation." ⁸ And Moses bowed himself to the earth quickly, and worshipped, ⁹ He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.” ¹⁰ Then the LORD said, "Now I'm going to make a covenant. Before all your people I'll do miraculous deeds that haven't been done in all the earth or in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the LORD, for it's an awesome thing that I'll do with you. ¹¹ Obey what I am commanding you today. I'll drive out from before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. ¹² Be very careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, so they won't be a snare among you. ¹³ "Instead tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their Asherim. ¹⁴ for you shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. ¹⁵ lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they prostitute themselves after their gods, and they sacrifice to their gods, and they invite you, and you eat their sacrifice, ¹⁶ and you take from their daughters for your sons. and their daughters fornicate with their gods, and they lead your sons to fornicate with their gods. ¹⁷ Work no molten elohim. ¹⁸ Keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days your food is to be bread without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib; for in that month you came out of Egypt. ¹⁹ "Every first male offspring is mine. The firstborn males of all your livestock, whether cattle, sheep, or goats are mine. ²⁰ You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a sheep, and if you don't redeem it, you shall break its neck. You shall redeem every firstborn of your sons, and no one shall appear before me empty-handed. ²¹ "For six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. ²² "You shall observe the Festival of Weeks, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year. ²³ Three times in the year your men shall appear before the Sovereign LORD, the God of Israel. ²⁴ For I'll drive out nations before you, and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the LORD your God three times a year. ²⁵ "Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me at the same time you offer anything containing yeast. No part of the sacrifice at the Passover festival should be left over in the morning. ²⁶ You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk." ²⁷ The LORD said to Moses, "Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel." ²⁸ And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread, nor drank water. And He wrote upon the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. ²⁹ Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God. ³⁰ Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses and saw his face glowing. They were afraid to come near him. ³¹ And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the community returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. ³² And afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them all that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. ³³ When Moses finished speaking with them he put a veil over his face, ³⁴ When Moses went into the LORD's presence to speak with him, he took off the veil until he came out. When he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, ³⁵ they would see that Moses' face was glowing. Moses would put the veil back on until he went in again to speak with the LORD.
