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 brakest
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
And the LORD descended
in the cloud
, and stood
with him there, and proclaimed
the name
of the LORD
.
And the LORD passed by
before him
, and proclaimed
, The LORD
, The LORD
God
, merciful
and gracious
, longsuffering
, and abundant
in goodness
and truth
,
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 children's
children, unto the third
and to the fourth
generation .
And Moses made haste
, and bowed his head
toward the earth
, and worshipped
.
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
.
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.
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
.
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:
But ye shall destroy their altars
, break
their images
, and cut down
their groves
:
For thou shalt worship no other
god
: for the LORD
, whose name
is Jealous
, is a jealous
God
:
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
;
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
.
Thou shalt make thee no molten
gods
.
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
.
All that openeth the matrix
is mine; and every firstling
among thy cattle
, whether ox
or sheep
, that is male
.
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
.
Six days
thou shalt work
, but on the seventh
day
thou shalt rest
: in earing time
and in harvest
thou shalt rest
.
And thou shalt observe the feast
of weeks
, of the firstfruits
of wheat
harvest
, and the feast
of ingathering
at the year's
end
.
Thrice in the year
shall all your men children
appear
before
the Lord
GOD
, the God
of Israel
.
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
.
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
.
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 mother's
milk
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
And Moses called
unto them; and Aaron
and all the rulers
of the congregation
returned
unto him: and Moses
talked
with them.
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
.
And till Moses had done
speaking
with them, he put
a vail
on his face
.
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
.
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.
