1
And Jehovah said to Moses , Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first ; and I will write upon the tables the words that were upon the first tables, which thou hast broken .
2
And be ready for the morning , and go up in the morning to mount Sinai , and stand there before me on the top of the mountain .
3
And let no man go up with thee, neither shall any man be seen on all the mountain ; neither shall sheep and oxen feed in front of that mountain .
4
And he hewed two tables of stone like the first ; and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to mount Sinai , as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone .
5
And Jehovah came down in the cloud , and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah .
6
And Jehovah passed by before his face , and proclaimed, Jehovah , Jehovah ùGod merciful and gracious, slow to anger , and abundant in goodness and truth ,
7
keeping mercy unto thousands , forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin , but by no means clearing [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children , and upon the children 's children , upon the third and upon the fourth [generation].
8
And Moses made haste , and bowed his head to the earth and worshipped,
9
and said , If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes , Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin , and take us for an inheritance!
10
And he said , Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels that have not been done in all the earth , nor in any nation ; and all the people in the midst of which thou [art] shall see the work of Jehovah ; for a terrible thing it shall be that I will do with thee.
11
Observe what I command thee this day : behold, I will drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite , and the Perizzite, and the Hivite , and the Jebusite.
12
Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which thou shalt come , lest it be a snare in the midst of thee;
13
but ye shall demolish their altars , shatter their statues, and hew down their Asherahs.
14
For thou shalt worship no other ùGod; for Jehovah -- Jealous is his name -- is a jealous ùGod;
15
lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land , and then, when they go a whoring after their gods , and sacrifice unto their gods , thou be invited, and eat of their sacrifice,
16
and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods , and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods .
17
-- Thou shalt make thyself no molten gods .
18
-- The feast of the unleavened bread shalt thou keep : seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread , as I have commanded thee, at the appointed time of the month Abib ; for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt .
19
-- All that openeth the womb [is] mine; and all the cattle that is born a male, the firstling of ox and sheep.
20
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; and if thou ransom [it] not, then shalt thou break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt ransom ; and none shall appear before me empty.
21
-- Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in ploughing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22
-- And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks , of the first-fruits of wheat-harvest , and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year.
23
Thrice in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah , the God of Israel .
24
For I will dispossess the nations before thee, and enlarge thy border , and no man shall desire thy land , when thou goest up to appear before the face of Jehovah thy God thrice in the year.
25
-- Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven ; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left over night until the morning .
26
-- The first of the first -fruits of thy land shalt thou bring into the house of Jehovah thy God . Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk .
27
And Jehovah said to Moses , Write thee these words ; for after the tenor of these words have I made a covenant with thee and with Israel .
28
-- And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights ; he ate no bread , and drank no water . -- And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words .
29
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai -- and the two tables of testimony were in Moses ' hand , when he came down from the mountain -- that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone through his talking with him.
30
And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses , and behold, the skin of his face shone ; and they were afraid to come near him.
31
And Moses called to them; and they turned to him, -- Aaron and all the principal men of the assembly; and Moses talked with them.
32
And afterwards, all the children of Israel came near ; and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him on mount Sinai .
33
And Moses ended speaking with them; and he had put on his face a veil.
34
And when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel what he was commanded .
35
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses , that the skin of Moses ' face shone ; and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
