^{1 Ref} And the Lord said to Moses, Make two other stones like the first two; and I will put on them the words which were on the first stones, which were broken by you.

^{2 Ref} And be ready by the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai, and come before me there in the morning, on the top of the mountain.

^{3 Ref} No one is to come up with you, and let no man be seen anywhere on the mountain; let no flocks or herds come near to get their food at its foot.

⁴ So Moses got two stones cut like the first; and early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had said, with the two stones in his hand.

^{5 Ref} And the Lord came down in the cloud and took his place by the side of Moses, and Moses gave worship to the name of the Lord.

^{6 Ref} And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;

^{7 Ref} Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.

^{8 Ref} Then Moses quickly went down on his face in worship.

^{9 Ref} And he said, If now I have grace in your eyes, let the Lord go among us, for this is a stiff-necked people, and give us forgiveness for our wrongdoing and our sin, and take us for your heritage.

^{10 Ref} And the Lord said, See, this is what I will undertake: before the eyes of your people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth or in any nation: and all your people will see the work of the Lord, for what I am about to do for you is greatly to be feared.

^{11 Ref} Take care to do the orders which I give you today; I will send out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

^{12 Ref} But take care, and do not make any agreement with the people of the land where you are going, for it will be a cause of sin to you.

^{13 Ref} But their altars are to be overturned and their pillars broken and their images cut down:

^{14 Ref} For you are to be worshippers of no other god: for the Lord is a God who will not give his honour to another.

^{15 Ref} So see that you make no agreement with the people of the land, and do not go after their gods, or take part in their offerings, or be guests at their feasts,

^{16 Ref} Or take their daughters for your sons; for when their daughters give worship before their gods, they will make your sons take part with them.

^{17 Ref} Make for yourselves no gods of metal.

^{18 Ref} Keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days your food is to be bread without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib; for in that month you came out of Egypt.

^{19 Ref} Every first male child is mine; the first male birth of your cattle, the first male of every ox and sheep.

^{20 Ref} A lamb may be given in payment for the young of an ass, but if you will not make payment for it, its neck will have to be broken. For all the first of your sons you are to make payment. No one is to come before me without an offering.

^{21 Ref} Six days let work be done, but on the seventh day take your rest: at ploughing time and at the grain-cutting you are to have a day for rest.

^{22 Ref} And you are to keep the feast of weeks when you get in the first-fruits of the grain, and the feast at the turn of the year when you take in the produce of your fields.

^{23 Ref} Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord, the God of Israel.

^{24 Ref} For I will send out the nations before you and make wide the limits of your land; and no man will make an attempt to take your land while you go up to give worship to the Lord, three times in the year.

^{25 Ref} No leaven is to be offered with the blood of my offering, and the offering of the Passover feast may not be kept till the morning.

^{26 Ref} Take the first-fruits of your land as an offering to the house of the Lord your God. Let not the young goat be cooked in its mother's milk

^{27 Ref} And the Lord said to Moses, Put all these words in writing; for on them is based the agreement which I will make with you.

^{28 Ref} And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

^{29 Ref} Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God.

^{30 Ref} But when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and the shining of his face, they would not come near him for fear.

^{31 Ref} Then Moses sent for them; and Aaron, with the chiefs of the people, came to him; and Moses had talk with them.

^{32 Ref} And later, all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the orders which the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

^{33 Ref} And at the end of his talk with them, Moses put a veil over his face.

^{34 Ref} But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to have talk with him, he took off the veil till he came out. And whenever he came out he said to the children of Israel what he had been ordered to say;

^{35 Ref} And the children of Israel saw that the face of Moses was shining: so Moses put the veil over his face again till he went to the Lord.

^{1 Ref} And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and I have written on the tables the words which were on the first tables which thou hast broken;

^{2 Ref} and be prepared at morning, and thou hast come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and hast stood before Me there, on the top of the mount,

^{3 Ref} and no man cometh up with thee, and also no man is seen in all the mount, also the flock and the herd do not feed over-against that mount.'

⁴ And he heweth two tables of stone like the first, and Moses riseth early in the morning, and goeth up unto mount Sinai, as Jehovah commanded him, and he taketh in his hand two tables of stone.

^{5 Ref} And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth Himself with him there, and calleth in the Name of Jehovah,

^{6 Ref} and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth,

^{7 Ref} keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third `generation', and on a fourth.'

^{8 Ref} And Moses hasteth, and boweth to the earth, and doth obeisance,

^{9 Ref} and saith, `If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, O my Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee, go in our midst (for it `is' a stiff-necked people), and thou hast forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and hast inherited us.'

^{10 Ref} And He saith, `Lo, I am making a covenant: before all thy people I do wonders, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst thou `art' have seen the work of Jehovah, for it `is' fearful that which I am doing with thee.

^{11 Ref} `Observe for thyself that which I am commanding thee to-day: lo, I am casting out from before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;

^{12 Ref} take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which thou art going, lest it become a snare in thy midst;

^{13 Ref} for their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and its shrines ye cut down;

^{14 Ref} for ye do not bow yourselves to another god -- for Jehovah, whose name `is' Zealous, is a zealous God.

^{15 Ref} `Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they have gone a-whoring after their gods, and have sacrificed to their gods, and `one' hath called to thee, and thou hast eaten of his sacrifice,

^{16 Ref} and thou hast taken of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters have gone a-whoring after their gods, and have caused thy sons to go a-whoring after their gods;

^{17 Ref} a molten god thou dost not make to thyself.

^{18 Ref} `The feast of unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at an appointed time, the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou didst come out from Egypt.

^{19 Ref} `All opening a womb `are' Mine, and every firstling of thy cattle born a male, ox or sheep;

^{20 Ref} and the firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb; and if thou dost not ransom, then thou hast beheaded it; every first-born of thy sons thou dost ransom, and they do not appear before Me empty.

^{21 Ref} `Six days thou dost work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest; in ploughing-time and in harvest thou dost rest.

^{22 Ref} `And a feast of weeks thou dost observe for thyself; first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the feast of in-gathering, at the revolution of the year.

^{23 Ref} `Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, God of Israel;

^{24 Ref} for I dispossess nations from before thee, and have enlarged thy border, and no man doth desire thy land in thy going up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in a year.

^{25 Ref} `Thou dost not slaughter with a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice; and the sacrifice of the feast of the passover doth not remain till morning:

^{26 Ref} the first of the first-fruits of the land thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.'

^{27 Ref} And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write for thyself these words, for, according to the tenor of these words I have made with thee a covenant, and with Israel.'

^{28 Ref} And he is there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk; and he writeth on the tables the matters of the covenant -- the ten matters.

^{29 Ref} And it cometh to pass, when Moses is coming down from mount Sinai (and the two tables of the testimony `are' in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mount), that Moses hath not known that the skin of his face hath shone in His speaking with him,

^{30 Ref} and Aaron seeth -- all the sons of Israel also -- Moses, and lo, the skin of his face hath shone, and they are afraid of coming nigh unto him.

^{31 Ref} And Moses calleth unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the company return unto him, and Moses speaketh unto them;

^{32 Ref} and afterwards have all the sons of Israel come nigh, and he chargeth them with all that Jehovah hath spoken with him in mount Sinai.

^{33 Ref} And Moses finisheth speaking with them, and putteth on his face a vail;

^{34 Ref} and in the going in of Moses before Jehovah to speak with Him, he turneth aside the vail until his coming out; and he hath come out and hath spoken unto the sons of Israel that which he is commanded;

^{35 Ref} and the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses that the skin of the face of Moses hath shone, and Moses hath put back the vail on his face until his going in to speak with Him.

^{1 Ref} Yahweh said to Moses, "Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

^{2 Ref} Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

^{3 Ref} No one shall come up with you; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain."

⁴ He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.

^{5 Ref} Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yahweh.

^{6 Ref} Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

^{7 Ref} keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."

^{8 Ref} Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

^{9 Ref} He said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us; although this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance."

^{10 Ref} He said, "Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.

^{11 Ref} Observe that which I command you this day. Behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

^{12 Ref} Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:

^{13 Ref} but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim;

^{14 Ref} for you shall worship no other god: for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

^{15 Ref} Don't make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;

^{16 Ref} and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.

^{17 Ref} You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.

^{18 Ref} "You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.

^{19 Ref} All that opens the womb is mine; and all your cattle that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.

^{20 Ref} The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one shall appear before me empty.

^{21 Ref} Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

^{22 Ref} You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year's end.

^{23 Ref} Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

^{24 Ref} For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year.

^{25 Ref} "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left to the morning.

^{26 Ref} You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk."

^{27 Ref} Yahweh said to Moses, "Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

^{28 Ref} He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

^{29 Ref} It happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

^{30 Ref} When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

^{31 Ref} Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

^{32 Ref} Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

^{33 Ref} When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

^{34 Ref} But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

^{35 Ref} The children of Israel saw Moses' face, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
