Exodus 34:1-9

1And Jehovah said to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were upon the first tables, which thou hast broken.

2And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to mount Sinai, and stand there before me on the top of the mountain.

3And let no man go up with thee, neither shall any man be seen on all the mountain; neither shall sheep and oxen feed in front of that mountain.

4And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

5And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.

6And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah 1God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth,

7keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation].

8And Moses made haste, and bowed his head to the earth and worshipped,

9and said, If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for an inheritance!
