Exodus 34

American Standard Version

1And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Hew thee twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223: and I will writeH3789 upon the tables the wordsH1697 that were on the firstH7223 tables, which thou brakest. 2And beH1961 ready by the morningH1242, and come up in the morningH1242 unto mount SinaiH5514, and present thyself there to me on the topH7218 of the mount. 3And no manH376 shall comeH5927 up with thee; neither let any manH376 be seenH7200 throughout all the mount; neither let the flocksH6629 nor herdsH1241 feedH7462 before that mount. 4And he hewed twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223; and MosesH4872 roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and wentH5927 up unto mount SinaiH5514, as Jehovah had commandedH6680 him, and tookH3947 in his handH3027 twoH8147 tables of stoneH68. 5And Jehovah descended in the cloudH6051, and stoodH3320 with him there, and proclaimedH7121 the nameH8034 of Jehovah. 6And Jehovah passedH5674 by before him, and proclaimedH7121, Jehovah, Jehovah, a GodH410 merciful and graciousH2587, slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness and truthH571; 7keepingH5341 lovingkindness for thousandsH505, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588 and sinH2403; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the children, and upon the children’s children, upon the thirdH8029 and upon the fourthH7256 generationH8029. 8And MosesH4872 madeH4116 hasteH4116, and bowedH7812 his head toward the earthH776, and worshipped. 9And he saidH559, If now I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, O LordH136, let the LordH136, I pray thee, go in the midstH7130 of us; for it is a stiffnecked peopleH5971; and pardon our iniquityH5771 and our sinH2403, and takeH5157 us for thine inheritanceH5157.

10And he saidH559, Behold, I makeH6213 a covenantH1285: before all thy peopleH5971 I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earthH776, nor in any nationH1471; and all the peopleH5971 among which thou art shall seeH7200 the workH4639 of Jehovah; for it is a terrible thing that I do with thee. 11ObserveH8104 thou that which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117: behold, I driveH1644 out before thee the AmoriteH567, and the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983. 12TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself, lestH6435 thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 whither thou goest, lestH6435 it beH1961 for a snareH4170 in the midstH7130 of thee: 13but ye shall breakH7665 down their altarsH4196, and dash in pieces their pillarsH4676, and ye shall cutH3772 down their Asherim; 14(for thou shalt worship no otherH312 godH410: for Jehovah, whose nameH8034 is JealousH7067, is a jealousH7067 GodH410); 15lestH6435 thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, and they playH2181 the harlot after their godsH430, and sacrificeH2077 unto their godsH430, and one callH7121 thee and thou eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077; 16and thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 playH2181 the harlot after their godsH430, and make thy sonsH1121 playH2181 the harlot after their godsH430. 17Thou shalt makeH6213 thee no molten godsH430.

18The feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shalt thou keepH8104. SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, as I commandedH6680 thee, at the time appointedH4150 in the monthH2320 AbibH24; for in the monthH2320 AbibH24 thou camest out from EgyptH4714. 19All that openeth the wombH7358 is mine; and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of cow and sheepH7716. 20And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeemH6299 with a lambH7716: and if thou wilt not redeemH6299 it, then thou shalt breakH6202 its neckH6202. All the first-born of thy sonsH1121 thou shalt redeemH6299. And none shall appearH7200 before me emptyH7387.

21SixH8337 daysH3117 thou shalt workH5647, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 thou shalt rest: in plowingH2758 time and in harvestH7105 thou shalt rest. 22And thou shalt observeH6213 the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, even of the first-fruits of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and the feastH2282 of ingatheringH614 at the year’sH8141 end. 23ThreeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141 shall all thy malesH2138 appearH7200 before the Lord Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 24For I will cast out nationsH1471 before thee, and enlargeH7337 thy bordersH1366: neither shall any manH376 desireH2530 thy landH776, when thou goest up to appearH7200 before Jehovah thy GodH430 threeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141.

25Thou shalt not offer the bloodH1818 of my sacrificeH2077 with leavenedH2557 bread; neither shall the sacrificeH2077 of the feastH2282 of the passoverH6453 be left unto the morningH1242. 26The firstH7225 of the first-fruits of thy groundH127 thou shalt bringH935 unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah thy GodH430. Thou shalt not boilH1310 a kid in its mother’sH517 milkH2461.

27And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 thou these wordsH1697: for after the tenor of these wordsH1697 I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee and with IsraelH3478. 28And he wasH1961 there with Jehovah fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; he did neither eatH398 breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325. And he wroteH3789 upon the tables the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285, the tenH6235 commandments.

29And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 came downH3381 from mount SinaiH5514 with the twoH8147 tables of the testimonyH5715 in Moses’H4872 handH3027, when he came downH3381 from the mount, that MosesH4872 knewH3045 not that the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160 by reason of his speakingH1696 with him. 30And when AaronH175 and all the children of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 MosesH4872, behold, the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160; and they were afraidH3372 to come nigh him. 31And MosesH4872 calledH7121 unto them; and AaronH175 and all the rulers of the congregationH5712 returnedH7725 unto him: and MosesH4872 spake to them. 32And afterward all the children of IsraelH3478 came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spokenH1696 with him in mount SinaiH5514. 33And when MosesH4872 had done speakingH1696 with them, he putH5414 a veilH4533 on his faceH6440. 34But whenH834 MosesH4872 wentH3318 in before Jehovah to speakH1696 with him, he took the veilH4533 off, until he cameH935 out; and he cameH935 out, and spake unto the children of IsraelH3478 that which he was commandedH6680. 35And the children of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 the faceH6440 of MosesH4872, that the skinH5785 of Moses’H4872 faceH6440 shoneH7160: and MosesH4872 put the veilH4533 upon his faceH6440 again, until he wentH935 in to speakH1696 with him.
