EXODUS · Chapter 34
34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew you two tables of stone like
unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were
in the first tables, which you brake.
34:2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount
Sinai, and present yourself there to me in the top of the mount.
34:3 And no man shall come up with you, neither let any man be seen
throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before
that mount.
34:4 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.
34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there,
and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The
LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness
and truth,
34:7 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.
34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and
worshipped.
34:9 And he said, If now I have found grace in your sight, O LORD,
let my LORD, I pray you, go among us; for it is a stubborn people; and
pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.
34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all your 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 you are shall see the work of
the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with you.
34:11 Observe you that which I command you this day: behold, I drive
out before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the
Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
34:12 Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants
of the land where you go, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:
34:13 But all of you shall destroy their altars, break their images,
and cut down their groves:
34:14 For you shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name
is Jealous, is a jealous God:
34:15 Lest you 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 you, and you eat of his sacrifice;
34:16 And you take of their daughters unto your sons, and their daughters
go a whoring after their gods, and make your sons go a whoring after their
gods.
34:17 You shall make you no molten gods.
34:18 The feast of unleavened bread shall you keep. Seven days you
shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month
Abib: for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
34:19 All that opens the womb is mine; and every first born among your
cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
34:20 But the first born of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb: and
if you redeem him not, then shall you break his neck. All the firstborn
of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
34:21 Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest:
in earring time and in harvest you shall rest.
34:22 And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits
of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
34:23 Three times in the year shall all your male children appear before
the LORD God, the God of Israel.
34:24 For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your
borders: neither shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to
appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.
34:25 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither
shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
34:26 The first of the first-fruits of your land you shall bring unto
the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's
milk.
34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write you these words: for after
the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.
34:28 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.
34:29 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 know not that the skin of his face shone while he talked
with him.
34:30 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.
34:31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the
congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
34:32 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.
34:33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on
his face.
34:34 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 spoke unto the
children of Israel that which he was commanded.
34:35 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.
