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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and
stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of
the Lord.
06 And the Lord passed by before him, and
proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and
gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness
and truth,
07 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.
08 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head
toward the earth, and worshipped.
09 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 year's end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your
menchildren 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 mother's
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.
