The Book of Exodus 34

34 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Carve for yourself two tablets of stone like the first. And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke. 2 And be ready by morning, and in the morning come up to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain. 3 And a man shall not come up with you and also let a man not be seen on all of the mountain. Also let not the flocks and the herds graze to the front of that mountain.” 4 And he carved two tablets of stone like the first, and Moses got up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai as Yahweh had commanded him. And he took the two tablets of stone in his hand.

5 And Yahweh came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and he pronounced in the name of Yahweh. 6 And Yahweh passed over above his face and proclaimed, “Yahweh, Yahweh, a God compassionate and gracious, long of nostril and abounding in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness, 7 keeping covenant faithfulness to thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. But he will surely not acquit, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons and on the sons of the sons, on the third and on the fourth.”

8 And Moses hurried and bowed to the ground and prostrated himself. 9 And he said, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, my Lord, may my Lord please go among us, for this is a people hard of neck. And forgive our iniquity and our sin and inherit us.”

10 And he said, “Behold, I am about to cut a covenant: before all of your people, I will do wonders that have not been created in all of the earth and in all of the nations. And all of the people that you are in the midst of will see the work of Yahweh, for it is fear-filling, what I am doing with you. 11 Keep for yourself what I am commanding today. Behold I am about to drive out from before your face the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.

12 Guard yourself, lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitant of the land where you are about to go into, lest he become as a trap in your midst. 13 Instead, their altars you shall break down, and their pillars you shall smash, and his Asherah poles you shall cut down. 14 For you shall not bow to another god, for Yahweh—Jealous is his name—he is a jealous God. 15 Lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they prostitute after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and he invite you, and you eat from his sacrifice 16 and take from his daughters for your sons, and his daughters prostitute after their gods and cause your sons to prostitute after their gods.

17 Do not make for yourselves gods of molten metal.

18 You shall keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread seven days, which I commanded you, at the appointed time, the month of Aviv, for in the month of Aviv you came out from Egypt.

19 All of the openers of the womb are mine even from all of your male livestock, the openers of cattle and of sheep. 20 And the opener of a donkey you shall ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break his neck. You shall ransom all the firstborn of your sons. And you shall not appear at my face empty-handed.

21 Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest time, you shall rest.

22 And you shall keep for yourself the Festival of Weeks with the first-fruits of the harvest of the wheat, and the Festival of the Gathering at the turning of the year. 23 Three times in a year, all your males shall appear before the face of the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel. 24 For I will drive out nations before your face and expand your borders. And a man will not desire your land when you go up to appear before the face of Yahweh your God three times in a year.

25 You shall not slaughter the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, and the sacrifice of the Festival of the Passover shall not remain all night to the morning.

26 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 the milk of its mother.”

27 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Write these words for yourself, for over the mouth of these words I have cut a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 And he was there with Yahweh 40 days and 40 nights; bread he did not eat and water he did not drink. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.

29 And it happened, as Moses was descending from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in the hand of Moses as he was descending from the mountain, that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while speaking with him. 30 And Aaron and all of the sons of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone! And they were afraid to come near to him. 31 And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all of the leaders among the congregation returned to him. And Moses spoke to them. 32 And after this, all of the sons of Israel approached, and he commanded them all that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. 33 And Moses finished from speaking with them, and he put a veil over his face.

34 And whenever Moses went before the face of Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And he would come out, and he would speak to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded. 35 And the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses shone. And Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with him.
