1 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Mosheh rose up early
in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as YAHUAH had commanded him, and
took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 And YAHUAH descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed
the name of YAHUAH.
6 And YAHUAH passed by before him, and proclaimed, YAHUAH, Almighty, merciful
and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
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].
8 And Mosheh made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Sovereign YAHUAH, let
my YAHUAH, 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 YAHUAH: 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 YAHUAH, whose name [is] jealous,
[is] a jealous Almighty One:
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 men children appear before the Master
YAHUAH, the YAHUAH of Yisrael.
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 YAHUAH thy
YAHUAH 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
YAHUAH thy YAHUAH. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
27 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of
these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Yisrael.
28 And he was there with YAHUAH 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 Mosheh came down from mount Sinai with the two
tables of testimony in Mosheh' hand, when he came down from the mount, that
Mosheh wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Yisrael saw Mosheh, behold, the skin
of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Mosheh called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation
returned unto him: and Mosheh talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Yisrael came nigh: and he gave them in
commandment all that YAHUAH had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And [till] Mosheh had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But when Mosheh went in before YAHUAH to speak with him, he took the vail
off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Yisrael
[that] which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Yisrael saw the face of Mosheh, that the skin of Mosheh'
face shone: and Mosheh put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to
speak with him.
