1 And the LORD said
unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will
write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables,
which thou breakest.
2 And be ready in the morning, and
come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me
in the top of the mount.
3 And no man shall come up with
thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let
the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4 And he hewed two tables of stone
like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up
unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the
two tables of stone.
5 And the LORD
descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name
of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed by before him,
and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious,
longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means
clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children, and upon the childrens children, unto the third and to the
fourth generation.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed
his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found
grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is
a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for
thine inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold,
I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have
not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people
among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is
a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11 Observe thou that which I command
thee this day: behold, I 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, lest thou
make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest
it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
13 But ye shall destroy their
altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt worship no other
god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with
the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and
do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of
his 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 thee no molten
gods.
18 The feast of
unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened
bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the
month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
19 All that openeth the matrix is
mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that
is male.
20 But the firstling of an ass thou
shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt
thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And
none shall appear before me empty.
21 Six days thou shalt work, but on
the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt
rest.
22 And thou shalt observe the feast
of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of
ingathering at the years end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your
men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations
before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy
land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD 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 unto the morning.
26 The first of the firstfruits of
thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt
not seethe a kid in his mothers milk.
27 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a
covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there
with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor
drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the
ten commandments.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses
came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses
hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin
of his face shone while he talked with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the
children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they
were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Moses called unto them; and
Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses
talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of
Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had
spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And till Moses had done
speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before the
LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he
came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which 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
vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
