Exodus 34:1-9

1Now the Lord said to Moses, “Cut out for yourself 1two stone tablets like the former ones, and 2I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered. 2So be ready by morning, and come up in the morning to 3Mount Sinai, and 4present yourself there to Me on the top of the mountain. 35No man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen 6anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds may not graze in front of that mountain.” 4So he cut out 7two stone tablets like the former ones, and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and he took two stone tablets in his hand. 58The Lord descended in the cloud and stood there with him as 9he called upon the name of the Lord. 6Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, 10compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and 11truth; 7who 12keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He 13will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, 14visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” 8Moses made haste 1516to bow low toward the earth and worship. 9He said, “17If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though 1819the people are so obstinate, and 20pardon our iniquity and our sin, and 21take us as Your own 22possession.”
