The LORD said to Moses, "Cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you shattered.
Be ready by morning, and in the morning come up on Mount Sinai and stand before me there on the top of the mountain.
No one is to come up with you; no one is even to be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of that mountain."
So Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, carrying the two stone tablets in his hand.
Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
The LORD passed before him and proclaimed: "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,
keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin—yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished, but visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and fourth generation."
Moses quickly bowed to the ground and worshiped.
He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, Lord, then let the Lord go with us. Though this is a stiff-necked people, pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as your own possession."
And the LORD said: "See, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will do wonders never yet performed in any land or among any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the LORD, for what I am about to do with you is awesome and terrifying.
Keep what I command you today. I am driving out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, or they will become a snare among you.
Rather, you shall tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles.
You shall bow down to no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, someone will invite you, and you will eat of his sacrifice.
And when you take their daughters for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and lead your sons to do the same.
You shall not make cast idols for yourself.
Keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
Every firstborn of the womb is mine, and all your male livestock — the firstborn of ox and of sheep.
The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. Every firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in plowing time and harvest you shall rest.
Celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
Do not slaughter my sacrifice, with its blood, while there is leaven present, and do not let the sacrifice of the Passover Feast remain until morning.
Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, he did not know that the skin of his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.
When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him.
But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the assembly came back to him, and Moses spoke with them.
Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them everything the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he came out. Then he would come out and tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD again.
