‏ Exodus 34

1And the Lord said to Moses, Hew for yourself two tables of stone, as also the first were,and come up to me to the mountain; and I will write upon the tables the words, which were on the firsttables, which you broke. 2And be ready by the morning, and you shall go up to the mount Sina, and shall stand therefor me on the top of the mountain. 3And let no one go up with you, nor be seen in all the mountain; and let not the sheepand oxen feed near that mountain. 4AndMoses hewed two tables of stone, as also the first were; and Moses having arisen early, wentup to the mount Sina, as the Lord appointed him; and Moses took the two tables of stone. 5And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood near him there, and called by the name ofthe Lord. 6And the Lord passed by before his face, and proclaimed, The Lord God, pitiful and merciful,longsuffering and very compassionate, and true, 7and keeping justice and mercy for thousands, taking away iniquity, and unrighteousness,and sins; and he will not clear the guilty; bringing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, andto the children's children, to the third and fourth generation. 8And Moses hasted, and bowed to the earth and worshipped; 9and said, If I have found grace before you, let my Lord go with us; for the people isstiff-necked: and you shall take away our sins and our iniquities, and we will be your. 10And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I establish a covenant for you in the presence ofall your people; I will do glorious things, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation;and all the people among whom you are shall see the works of the Lord, that they are wonderful, whichI will do for you. 11Do you take heed to all things whatever I command you: behold, I cast out before yourface the Amorite and the Chananite and the Pherezite, and the Chettite, and Evite, and Gergesite and Jebusite: 12take heed to yourself, lest at any time you make a covenant with the dwellers on theland, into which you are entering, lest it be to you a stumbling block among you. 13You⌃ shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and you⌃ shall cutdown their groves, and the graven images of their gods you⌃ shall burn with fire. 14For you⌃ shall not worship strange gods, for the Lord God, a jealous name, is a jealousGod; 15lest at any time you make a covenant with the dwellers on the land, and they go a whoringafter their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and they call you, and you should eat of their feasts, 16and you should take of their daughters to your sons, and you should give of your daughtersto their sons; and your daughters should go a whoring after their gods, and your sons should go a whoringafter their gods. 17And you shall not make to yourself molten gods. 18And you shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days shall you eat unleavenedbread, as I have charged you, at the season in the month of newcorn; for in the month of newcorn you came out from Egypt. 19The malesare mine, everything that opens the womb; every firstborn of oxen, andevery firstborn of sheep. 20And the firstborn of an ass you shall redeem with a sheep, and if you will not redeemit you shall pay a price: every firstborn of your sons shall you redeem: you shall not appear before meempty. 21Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest:there shall be rest in seed time and harvest. 22And you shall keep to me the feast of weeks, the beginning of wheat harvest; and thefeast of ingathering in the middle of the year. 23Three times in the year shall every male of your appear before the Lord the God of Israel. 24For when I shall have cast out the nations before your face, and shall have enlargedyour coasts, no one shall desire your land, whenever you may go up to appear before the Lord your God,three times in the year. 25You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifices with leaven, neither shall the sacrificesof the feast of the passover remain till the morning. 26The first fruits of your land shall you put into the house of the Lord your God: youshall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk. 27And the Lord said to Moses, Write these words for yourself, for on these words I haveestablished a covenant with you and with Israel. 28And Moses was there before the Lord forty days, and forty nights; he did not eat bread,and he did not drink water; and he wrote upon the tables these words of the covenant, the ten sayings. 29And when Moses went down from the mountain,there were the two tables in the hands of Moses, —as then he went down from the mountain, Mosesknew not that the appearance of the skin of his face was glorified, when God spoke to him. 30And Aaron and all the elders of Israel saw Moses, and the appearance of the skin of hisface was made glorious, and they feared to approach him. 31And Moses called them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the synagogue turned towards him,and Moses spoke to them. 32And afterwards all the children of Israel came to him, and he commanded them all things,whatever the Lord had commanded him in the mount of Sina. 33And when he ceased speaking to them, he put a veil on his face. 34And whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak to him, he took off the veil tillhe went out, and he went forth and spoke to all the children of Israel whatever the Lord commanded him. 35And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that it was glorified; and Moses putthe veil over his face, till he went in to speak with him.
