1 Reče Jahve Mojsiju: "Okleši dvije kamene ploče kao i prijašnje pa ću ja na ploče napisati riječi koje su bile na prvim pločama što si ih razbio.

2 Budi gotov do jutra. Onda, ujutro, popni se na brdo Sinaj i ondje ćeš, navrh brda, stupiti preda me.

3 Nitko drugi neka se s tobom ne penje; neka se nitko nigdje na brdu ne pokaže. Neka ni ovce ni goveda ne pasu podno brda."

4 Mojsije okleše dvije kamene ploče kao i prijašnje; rano jutrom ustane i popne se na Sinajsko brdo, uzevši u ruke dvije kamene ploče, kako mu je Jahve naredio.

5 Jahve se spusti u liku oblaka, a on stade preda nj i zazva Ime: "Jahve!"

6 Jahve prođe ispred njega te se javi: "Jahve! Jahve! Bog milosrdan i milostiv, spor na srdžbu, bogat ljubavlju i vjernošću,

7 iskazuje milost tisućama, podnosi opačinu, grijeh i prijestup, ali krivca nekažnjena ne ostavlja nego kažnjava opačinu otaca na djeci - čak na unučadi do trećega i četvrtog koljena."

8 Mojsije smjesta pade na zemlju i pokloni se.

9 Onda reče: "Gospodine moj! Ako sam stekao blagonaklonost u tvojim očima, onda, o Gospodine, pođi s nama! Premda je narod tvrde šije, oprosti naše grijehe i naše opačine i primi nas za svoju baštinu!"

10 "Dobro", odgovori, "sklapam Savez. Pred cijelim tvojim pukom činit ću čudesa kakva se nisu događala ni u kojoj zemlji, ni u kojem narodu. Sav narod koji te okružuje vidjet će što može Jahve, jer ono što ću s tobom učiniti bit će strašno.

11 Vrši, dakle, što ti danas nalažem! Gle, protjerat će ispred tebe Amorejce, Kanaance, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.

12 Čuvaj se da ne praviš saveza sa stanovnicima zemlje u koju ideš; da ne budu zamkom u tvojoj sredini.

13 Nego porušite njihove žrtvenike, oborite njihove stupove, počupajte im ašere!

14 Jer ne smiješ se klanjati drugome bogu. TÓa Jahve - ime mu je Ljubomorni - Bog je ljubomoran.

15 Ne pravi saveza sa stanovnicima one zemlje da te oni, kad se odaju bludnosti sa svojim bogovima i žrtve im budu prinosili, ne bi pozivali, a ti pristao da jedeš od prinesene žrtve;

16 da ne bi uzimao njihove djevojke za žene svojim sinovima, da one - odajući se bludništvu sa svojim bogovima - ne bi za sobom povele i tvoje sinove.

17 Ne pravi sebi livenih bogova!

18 Drži Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha - jedući beskvasni kruh sedam dana, kako sam ti naredio - u određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu, jer si u mjesecu Abibu izišao iz Egipta.

19 Svako prvorođenče materinjega krila meni pripada: svako muško, svaki prvenac tvoga i sitnoga i krupnoga blaga.

20 Prvenca od magarice otkupi jednim grlom sitne stoke. Ako ga ne otkupiš, moraš mu šijom zavrnuti. A sve prvorođence od svojih sinova otkupljuj. Neka nitko preda me ne stupa praznih ruku!

21 Šest dana radi, a sedmoga od poslova odustani, sve ako je u doba oranja ili u vrijeme žetve.

22 Svetkuj Blagdan sedmica - prvine pšenične žetve - i Blagdan berbe na prekretu godine.

23 Triput na godinu neka se svi muškarci pojave pred Gospodinom Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim.

24 Jer ću protjerati narode ispred tebe i proširiti tvoje međe te nitko neće hlepiti za tvojom zemljom kad triput u godini budeš uzlazio da se pokažeš pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim.

25 Od žrtve koju mi namjenjuješ ne prinosi krvi ni s čim ukvasanim; niti ostavljaj žrtve prinesene na blagdan Pashe da prenoći do jutra.

26 U kuću Jahve, Boga svoga, donosi najbolje prvine plodova sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.

27 Zapiši ove riječi", reče Jahve Mojsiju, "jer su one temelji na kojima sam s tobom i s Izraelom sklopio Savez."

28 Mojsije ostade ondje s Jahvom četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći. Niti je kruha jeo niti je vode pio. Tada je na ploče ispisao riječi Saveza - Deset zapovijedi.

29 Napokon Mojsije siđe sa Sinajskog brda. Silazeći s brda, nosio je u rukama ploče Svjedočanstva. Nije ni znao da iz njegova lica, zbog razgovora s Jahvom, izbija svjetlost.

30 Kad su Aron i svi Izraelci vidjeli kako iz Mojsijeva lica izbija svjetlost, ne usudiše se k njemu pristupiti.

31 Onda ih Mojsije zovnu. Tada k njemu dođoše Aron i sve starješine zajednice. I Mojsije razgovaraše s njima.

32 Poslije k njemu dođoše i svi Izraelci, pa im on priopći sve što mu je naložio Jahve na Sinajskom brdu.

33 Kad je Mojsije završio razgovor s njima, prevuče preko svoga lica koprenu.

34 Kad bi god Mojsije ulazio pred Jahvu da s njim razgovara, koprenu bi skinuo dok opet ne bi izišao. Kad bi izlazio da Izraelcima kaže što mu je naređeno,

35 Izraelci bi vidjeli kako iz Mojsijeva lica izbija svjetlost. Tada bi Mojsije opet prevukao koprenu preko lica dok ne uđe da s Jahvom govori.

10621. 'Bearing iniquity, transgression, and sin' means shifting evil and its falsity away in order that it may not be apparent. This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing' or taking away as moving or shifting something in order that it may not be apparent, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'iniquity, transgression, and sin' as evils. And since evils are meant, so are the falsities that go with them; for every evil is wedded to its own falsity. But as for what kind of evil is meant by 'iniquity', what kind by 'transgression', and what kind by 'sin', see 9156. The reason why 'bearing' evil or taking it away means shifting it in order that it may not be apparent is that evils present in a person cannot be taken away from him, only shifted in order that they may not be apparent; and when they have been shifted they are thought to have been taken away from that person. Therefore the literal sense of the Word speaks of their having been taken away and completely banished. For the fact that they are merely moved or shifted in order that they may not be apparent, see in the places referred to in 10057(end).

9156. 'For every matter of transgression' means any harm whatever and any loss whatever. This is clear from the meaning of 'transgression' as everything that is contrary to the truth of faith, thus that injures it or wipes it out, therefore any harm whatever done to it and any loss whatever of it. In the Word evils are sometimes called sins, sometimes iniquities, and sometimes transgressions; but what the specific meaning of each of them is, is not evident except from the internal sense. The word transgressions is used for deeds contrary to the truths of faith, the word iniquities for deeds contrary to the good of faith, and the word sins for deeds contrary to the good of charity and love. The first two kinds of deeds spring from a perverted understanding, the last from a wicked will, as in David,

Wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is constantly before me. Psalms 51:2-3.

'Iniquity' stands for evil contrary to the good of faith, 'sin' for evil contrary to the good of charity and love, and 'transgression' for evil contrary to the truths of faith. Since 'transgression' is evil which springs from a perverted understanding, and so is recognized from the truths of faith, the words 'I acknowledge my transgressions' are used.

[2] In the same author,

Remember Your mercies, O Jehovah, and Your loving-kindnesses. Do not remember the sins of my youth, 1 nor my transgressions. Psalms 25:6-7.

'Sins' stands for evils springing from a wicked will, and 'transgressions' for evils springing from a perverted understanding. In Isaiah,

Behold, because of iniquities you have been sold, and because of transgressions your mother has been put away. Isaiah 50:1.

'Iniquities' stands for evils contrary to the Church's good of faith, and 'transgressions' for evils contrary to its truths of faith, 'mother' being the Church, which is said to be put away when it departs from faith. In Micah,

On account of the transgression of Jacob all this [will happen], and on account of the sin of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in you the transgressions of Israel were found. Micah 1:5, 13.

Here 'sin' in a similar way means something contrary to the good of charity and love, and 'transgression' something contrary to the truth of faith; for 'Samaria' means a Church whose faith is perverted, as likewise does 'Israel' in this instance.

[3] Since transgressions are offences against the truths of faith, the word 'transgressions' also describes going over to the other side and defecting. The same word is used in the original language to describe these actions, as is evident in David,

On account of the multitude of their transgressions overthrow them, for they rebel against You. Psalms 5:10.

The word 'rebel' is used when people defect and go over to the other side. And in Isaiah,

Are you not those born of transgression, the seed of a lie, who inflamed yourselves among the gods under every green tree, who slaughter children in the rivers? Isaiah 57:4-5.

'Transgression', it is plainly evident from these words, means evil contrary to the truths of faith. 'Those born of transgression' are falsities which destroy the truths of faith. For this reason they are also called 'the seed of a lie', falsity being meant by 'a lie', 8908. For the same reason they are said 'to be inflamed among the gods under every green tree', which means in the internal sense worship arising out of falsities, falsities being meant by 'the gods', 4402 (end), 4544, 7873, 8867, and the perception of falsity because of a perverted understanding being meant by 'green tree', 2722, 4552. And for still the same reason it says 'you slaughter children in the rivers', by which the annihilation of the truths of faith by falsities is meant; for 'slaughtering' means annihilating, 'children' means the truths of faith, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 2813, 3373, and 'the rivers' means falsities, 6693.
