NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Exodus 34

The Two Tablets Replaced

1

Now the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Cuth6458 out for yourself  atwoh8147 stoneh68 tabletsh3871 like the formerh7223 onesh7223, and  bI will writeh3789 on the tabletsh3871 the wordsh1697 that were on the formerh7223 tabletsh3871 whichh834 you shatteredh7665.

2

"So be readyh3559 by morningh1242, and comeh5927 up in the morningh1242 to  aMounth2022 Sinaih5514, and  1presenth5324 yourselfh5324 thereh8033 to Me on the toph7218 of the mountainh2022.

3

aNoh3808 manh376 is to comeh5927 up with you, norh408 let anyh1571 manh376 be seenh7200  1anywhereh3605 on the mountainh2022; evenh1571 the flocksh6629 and the herdsh1241 may not grazeh7462a in fronth4136 of that mountainh2022."

4

So he cuth6458 out  atwoh8147 stoneh68 tabletsh3871 like the formerh7223 onesh7223, and Mosesh4872 roseh7925 up earlyh7925 in the morningh1242 and wenth5927 up to Mounth2022 Sinaih5514, as the LORDh3068 had commandedh6680 him, and he tookh3947 twoh8147 stoneh68 tabletsh3871 in his handh3027.

5

 aThe LORDh3068 descendedh3381 in the cloudh6051 and stoodh3320 thereh8033 with him as  1he calledh7121 upon the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068.

6

Then the LORDh3068 passedh5674a by in fronth6440 of him and proclaimedh7121, "The LORDh3068, the LORDh3068 Godh410,  acompassionateh7349 and gracioush2587, slowh750 to angerh639, and aboundingh7227a in lovingkindnessh2617a and  1truthh571;

7

who  akeepsh5341 lovingkindnessh2617a for thousandsh505, who forgivesh5375 iniquityh5771, transgressionh6588 and sinh2403a; yet He  bwill by noh3808 meansh5352 leaveh5352 the guilty unpunishedh5352,  cvisitingh6485 the iniquityh5771 of fathersh1 on the childrenh1121 and on the grandchildrenh1121 to the thirdh8029 and fourthh7256 generations."

8

Mosesh4872 madeh4116 hasteh4116  1 ato bowh6915 lowh6915 towardh413 the earthh776 and worshiph7812.

9

He saidh559, " aIfh518 nowh4994 I have foundh4672 favorh2580 in Your sighth5869, O Lordh136, I prayh4994, let the Lordh136 goh1980 along in our midsth7130, evenh3588 thoughh3588  1 bthe peopleh5971a are so obstinateh7186h6203, and  cpardonh5545 our iniquityh5771 and our sinh2403b, and  dtakeh5157 us as Your own  2possessionh5157."

The Covenant Renewed

10

Then  1God saidh559, "Beholdh2009,  aI am going to makeh3772 a covenanth1285. Beforeh5048 allh3605 your peopleh5971a  bI will performh6213a miraclesh6381 whichh834 have not been  2producedh1254a in allh3605 the earthh776 norh3808 among anyh3605 of the nationsh1471; and allh3605 the peopleh5971a  3amongh7130 whomh834 you live will seeh7200 the workingh4639 of the LORDh3068, for it is a fearfulh3372a thingh3372a that I am going to performh6213a with you.

11

1Be sure to observeh8104 whath834 I am commandingh6680 you this dayh3117: beholdh2009,  aI am going to driveh1644 out the Amoriteh567 beforeh4480h6440 you, and the Canaaniteh3669a, the Hittiteh2850, the Perizziteh6522, the Hiviteh2340 and the Jebusiteh2983.

12

aWatchh8104 yourself that you makeh3772 noh6435 covenanth1285 with the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776 into whichh834 you are goingh935, orh6435 it will becomeh1961 a snareh4170 in your midsth7130.

13

aBut rather, you are to tearh5422 downh5422 their altarsh4196 and smashh7665 their sacred pillarsh4676 and cuth3772 downh3772 their  1 bAsherimh842

14

--for  ayou shall not worshiph7812 anyh312 otherh312 godh410, for the LORDh3068, whose nameh8034 is Jealoush7067, is a jealoush7067 Godh410--

15

otherwiseh6435 you mighth6435 makeh3772 a covenanth1285 with the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776 and they would playh2181 the harloth2181 with their godsh430 and  asacrificeh2076 to their godsh430, and someone  bmight inviteh7121 you  1to eath398 of his sacrificeh2077,

16

and  ayou might takeh3947 someh4480 of his daughtersh1323 for your sonsh1121, and his daughtersh1323 might playh2181 the harloth2181 with their godsh430 and cause your sonsh1121 also to playh2181 the harloth2181 with their godsh430.

17

aYou shall makeh6213a for yourself noh3808 moltenh4541a godsh430.

18

"You shall observeh8104  athe Feasth2282 of Unleavenedh4682 Breadh4682. For  bsevenh7651 daysh3117 you are to eath398 unleavenedh4682 breadh4682,  1as I commandedh6680 you, at the appointedh4150 timeh4150 in the  cmonthh2320 of Abibh24, for in the monthh2320 of Abibh24 you cameh3318 out of Egypth4714.

19

aThe firsth6363a offspringh6363a from everyh3605 wombh7358 belongs to Me, and allh3605 your maleh2145 livestockh4735, the firsth6363a offspringh6363a from  1cattleh7794 and sheeph7716.

20

aYou shall redeemh6299 with a lambh7716 the  1firsth6363a offspringh6363a from a donkeyh2543; and ifh518 you do not redeemh6299 it, then you shall breakh6202 its neckh6202. You shall redeemh6299  ballh3605 the firstbornh1060 of your sonsh1121.  2 cNoneh3808 shall appearh7200 beforeh6440 Me empty-handedh7387.

21

"You shall workh5647  asixh8337a daysh3117, but on the seventhh7637 dayh3117 you shall resth7673a; even during plowingh2758 timeh2758 and harvesth7105a you shall resth7673a.

22

"You shall celebrateh6213a  athe Feasth2282 of Weeksh7620, that is, the firsth1061 fruitsh1061 of the wheath2406 harvesth7105a, and the Feasth2282 of Ingatheringh614 at the turnh8622 of the yearh8141.

23

aThreeh7969 timesh6471 a yearh8141 allh3605 your malesh2138 are to appearh7200 beforeh6440 the Lordh113  1GODh3068, the Godh430 of Israelh3478.

24

"For I will  1 adriveh3423 out nationsh1471 beforeh4480h6440 you and enlargeh7337 your bordersh1366, and noh3808 manh376 shall coveth2530 your landh776 when you goh5927 up threeh7969 timesh6471 a yearh8141 to appearh7200 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

25

aYou shall not  1offerh7819 the bloodh1818 of My sacrificeh2077 with leavenedh2557 breadh2557,  bnorh3808 is the sacrificeh2077 of the Feasth2282 of the Passoverh6453 to  2be lefth3885a overh3885a until morningh1242.

26

"You shall bringh935  athe very firsth7225 of the firsth1061 fruitsh1061 of your soilh127 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

"You shall not boilh1310 a youngh1423 goath1423 in its mother'sh517 milkh2461."

27

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, " aWriteh3789  1downh3789 theseh428 wordsh1697, for in accordanceh5921h6310 with theseh428 wordsh1697 I have madeh3772  ba covenanth1285 with you and with Israelh3478."

28

So he was thereh8033 with the LORDh3068  afortyh705 daysh3117 and fortyh705 nightsh3915; he did not eath398 breadh3899 or drinkh8354 waterh4325. And  1 bhe wroteh3789 on the tabletsh3871 the wordsh1697 of the covenanth1285,  cthe Tenh6235  2Commandmentsh1697.

Moses' Face Shines

29

It cameh1961 about when Mosesh4872 was comingh3381 downh3381 from Mounth2022 Sinaih5514 (and the  atwoh8147 tabletsh3871 of the testimonyh5715 were in Moses'h4872 handh3027 as he was comingh3381 downh3381 from the mountainh2022), that Mosesh4872 did not knowh3045 that  bthe skinh5785 of his faceh6440 shoneh7160 because of his speakingh1696 with Him.

30

So when Aaronh175 and allh3605 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 sawh7200 Mosesh4872, beholdh2009, the skinh5785 of his faceh6440 shoneh7160, and  athey were afraidh3372a to comeh5066 nearh5066 him.

31

Then Mosesh4872 calledh7121 to them, and Aaronh175 and allh3605 the rulersh5387a in the congregationh5712 returnedh7725 to him; and Mosesh4872 spokeh1696 to them.

32

Afterwardh310 allh3605 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 cameh5066 nearh5066, and he commandedh6680 them to do everythingh3605 that the LORDh3068 had spokenh1696  1to him on Mounth2022 Sinaih5514.

33

When Mosesh4872 had finishedh3615 speakingh1696 with them,  ahe puth5414 a veilh4533 overh5921 his faceh6440.

34

But whenever Mosesh4872 wenth935 in beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 to speakh1696 with Him,  ahe would takeh5493 offh5493 the veilh4533 untilh5704 he cameh3318 out; and whenever he cameh3318 out and spokeh1696 to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 whath834 he had been commandedh6680,

35

 athe sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 would seeh7200 the faceh6440 of Mosesh4872, that the skinh5785 of Moses'h4872 faceh6440 shoneh7160. So Mosesh4872 would replaceh7725 the veilh4533 overh5921 his faceh6440 untilh5704 he wenth935 in to speakh1696 with Him.
