* And the Lord said unto Moses , Hew thyself two tables of stone like unto the first ; and I will write upon these tables the words which were on the first tables , which thou didst break . * And be ready by the morning , and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai , and present thyself there to me on 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 or herds feed near this 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 he took in his hand the two tables of stone . * And the Lord descended in a cloud , and stood with him there , and proclaimed , by name , the Lord . * And the Lord passed by before him , and proclaimed , The Lord is the immutable , eternal Being , the omnipotent God , merciful and gracious , long –suffering and abundant in beneficence and truth ; * Keeping mercy unto the thousandth , forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin , but who 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 prostrated himself . * And he said , If now I have found grace in thy eyes , O Lord , let the Lord , I pray thee , go among us ; even because it is a stiffnecked people ; and pardon thou our iniquity and our sin , and take us for thy heritage . * And he said , Behold , I make a covenant : before all thy people will I perform wonders , such as have not been done on all the earth , nor in any nation ; and all the people amongst whom 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 will drive out before thee the Emorite , 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 against which thou goest up , lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee ; * But their altars shall ye destroy , and their statues shall ye break , and their groves shall ye cut down . * For thou shalt worship no other God ; for the Lord whose name is Watchful , is a watchful God . * Make thou then no covenant with the inhabitants of the land ; lest that , if they go astray after their gods , and sacrifice unto their gods , any one call thee , and thou eat of his sacrifice ; * And lest thou take of his daughters unto thy sons ; and when his daughters go astray after their gods , they make thy sons also go astray after their gods . * Thou shalt not make unto thyself any molten gods . * The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep ; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread , as I have commanded thee , in the time of the month of Abib ; for in the month of Abib thou wentest forth out of Egypt . * All that openeth the womb is mine ; and every firstling that is a male among thy cattle , whether ox or lamb . * But the firstling of an ass shalt thou redeem with a lamb : and if thou redeem him not , then shalt thou break his neck ; all the first –born of thy sons shalt thou redeem ; and none shall appear before me empty . * Six days thou mayest work , but on the seventh day shalt thou rest : even in ploughing time and in harvest shalt thou rest . * And the feast of weeks shalt thou observe , with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest ; and the feast of ingathering at the closing of the year . * Thrice in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord , the Eternal , the God of Israel . * For I will cast out nations before thee , and enlarge thy borders ; yet shall no man desire thy land , when thou goest up to appear in the presence of the Lord thy God thrice in the year . * Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven ; neither shall be left unto the morning the sacrifice of the feast of the passover . * The first of the first –fruits of thy land shalt thou 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 thee down these words ; for after the tenor of these words have I made with thee a covenant and with Israel . * And he remained there with the Lord forty days and forty nights ; bread he did not eat , and water he did not drink ; 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 the testimony in Moses ’ hand , when be came down from the mount , that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone , because he had spoken with him . * And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses , and , behold , the skin of his face shone : and they were afraid to come nigh unto him . * But Moses called unto them , and then returned unto him Aaron and all the princes of the congregation : and Moses spoke to them . * And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh : and he commanded them all that which the Lord had spoken with him on mount Sinai . * And when Moses had done speaking with them , he put a vail over his face . * But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him , he took the vail off , until he came out ; and then he came out , and spoke unto the children of Israel that which he had been commanded . * And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses , that the skin of Moses ’ face shone : and Moses put the vail again over his face , until he went in to speak with him .
