1 耶和華吩咐摩西:你要鑿出兩塊版,和先前你摔碎的那版一樣;其上的我要在這版上。

2 明日早晨,你要預備好了,上西乃,在頂上站在我面前。

3 誰也不可和你一同上去,遍都不可有,在根也不可叫羊群牛群吃草。

4 摩西就鑿出兩塊版,和先前的一樣。清晨起來,照耶和華所吩咐的上西乃去,裡拿著兩塊版。

5 耶和華中降臨,和摩西一同站在那裡,宣告耶和華的名。

6 耶和華在他面前宣告耶和華耶和華,是有憐憫有恩典的神,不輕易發怒,並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實,

7 萬人存留慈愛,赦免孽、過犯,和罪惡,萬不以有的為無,必追討他的,自父及子,直到、四代。

8 摩西急忙伏下拜,

9 :主阿,我若在你眼前蒙恩,求你在我們中間同行,因為這是硬著頸項的百姓。又求你赦免我們孽和罪惡,以我們為你的產業。

10 耶和華:我要立約,要在百姓面前行奇妙的事,是在遍萬國中所未曾行的。在你四圍的外邦人就要耶和華的作為,因我向你所行的是可畏懼的事。

11 今天所吩咐你的,你要謹守。我要從你面前攆出亞摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人。

12 你要謹慎,不可與你所去那居民立約,恐怕成為你們中間的網羅;

13 卻要拆毀他們的祭壇,打碎他們的柱像,砍下他們的木偶。

14 不可敬拜別神;因為耶和華是忌邪的神,名為忌邪者。

15 只怕你與那居民立約,百姓隨從他們的,就行邪淫,祭祀他們的,有人你,你便他的祭物,

16 又為你的兒子娶他們的女兒為妻,他們的女兒隨從他們的,就行邪淫,使你的兒子也隨從他們的行邪淫。

17 不可為自己鑄造像。

18 你要守除酵節,照我所吩咐你的,在亞筆內所定的日期無酵,因為你是這亞筆內出了埃及

19 凡頭生的都是我的;一切牲畜頭生的,無論是是羊,公的都是我的。

20 頭生的要用羊羔代贖,若不代贖就要打折他的頸項。凡頭生的兒子都要贖出來。誰也不可空手朝見我。

21 日要做工,第七日要安息,雖在耕種收割的時候也要安息。

22 在收割初熟麥子的時候要守七七節;又在年底要守收藏節。

23 你們一切男丁要一年三次朝見耶和華以色列的

24 我要從你面前趕出外邦,擴張你的境界。你一年三次上去朝見耶和華─你的時候,必沒有貪慕你的土。

25 你不可將我祭物的血和有的餅一同獻上。逾越節的祭物也不可留到早晨

26 地裡首先初熟之物要送到耶和華─你的殿。不可用山羊羔母的奶山羊羔。

27 耶和華吩咐摩西:你要將這些上,因為我是按這與你和以色列人立約。

28 摩西在耶和華那裡四十晝夜,也不飯也不耶和華將這約的,就是條誡,在兩塊版上。

29 摩西裡拿著兩塊法版西乃的時候,不知道自己的面因耶和華和他說話就發了光。

30 亞倫以色列眾人摩西的發光他。

31 摩西他們來;於是亞倫和會眾的官長都到他那裡去,摩西就與他們說話

32 以色列眾人都前來,他就把耶和華在西乃與他所的一切話都吩咐他們。

33 摩西與他們說完了話就用帕子蒙上臉。

34 摩西進到耶和華面前與他說話就揭去帕子,及至出的時候便將耶和華所吩咐的告訴以色列人

35 以色列人摩西的發光摩西又用帕子蒙上臉,等到他進去與耶和華說話就揭去帕子。

59. The statements made in 55 above about the proclamation, holiness, and power of the law may be found in the following passages in the Word: Jehovah came down in fire upon Mount Sinai and the mountain smoked and shook; and there was thunder, lightning, thick clouds, and the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16, 18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-23). Before Jehovah came down, the people spent three days preparing and sanctifying themselves (Exodus 19:10-11, 15). The mountain was fenced off so that no one would approach and come near its base and die; not even priests were allowed near; Moses alone was allowed (Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2). The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21). The law was written on two stone tablets by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10). When Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone (Exodus 34:29-35). The tablets were placed in an ark (Exodus 25:16; 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9). On top of the ark there was a mercy seat, and on the mercy seat were placed angel guardians made of gold (Exodus 25:17-21). The ark, with the mercy seat and the angel guardians, formed the very heart of the tabernacle, while the golden lampstand, the golden altar of incense, and the gilded table for the showbread were placed just outside [the veil], and all these objects were surrounded in turn by the ten curtains of fine linen and purple and scarlet [thread] (Exodus 25:1 to the end; 26:1 to the end; Exodus40:17-28). The area set aside for the ark was called "the most holy place" (Exodus 26:33). The whole Israelite population camped around the dwelling, in a set arrangement tribe by tribe, and traveled behind it in a set sequence (Numbers 2:1 to the end). There was a cloud above the tabernacle in the daytime then, and fire above it at night (Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-16 to the end; 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33). The Lord spoke with Moses from above the ark, between the angel guardians (Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89). Because it contained the law, the ark was called "Jehovah" there: when the ark would set out, Moses would say, "Rise up, Jehovah, " and when it would come to rest he would say, "Return, Jehovah" (Numbers 10:35-36; see also 2 Samuel 6:2 and Psalms 132:7-8). Because of the holiness of the law, Aaron was not allowed to go behind the veil without sacrifices and incense (Leviticus 16:2-14 and following). David brought the ark into Zion with sacrifices and rejoicing (2 Samuel 6:1-19). At that time Uzzah died because he touched the ark (2 Samuel 6:6-7). [Solomon] placed the ark at the center of the Jerusalem temple, where he had made an inner sanctuary for it (1 Kings 6:19 and following; 8:3-9). Because of the Lord's presence and power in the law that was in the ark, the waters of the Jordan were cut off; and as long as the ark rested in its midst, the people crossed over on dry ground (Joshua 3:1-17; 4:5-20). The walls of Jericho fell because the ark was carried around them (Joshua 6:1-20). Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the earth before the ark and later lay on the threshold of the shrine with its head broken off (1 Samuel 5:1-4). Tens of thousands of the people of Beth-shemesh were struck down because of the ark (1 Samuel 6:19).
