Exodus 34:1-14

1Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “CutH6458 out for yourself 1twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 like the formerH7223 onesH7223, and 2I will writeH3789 on the tabletsH3871 the wordsH1697 that were on the formerH7223 tabletsH3871 whichH834 you shatteredH7665. 2So be readyH3559 by morningH1242, and comeH5927 up in the morningH1242 to 3MountH2022 SinaiH5514, and 4presentH5324 yourselfH5324 thereH8033 to Me on the topH7218 of the mountainH2022. 35NoH3808 manH376 is to comeH5927 up with you, norH408 let anyH1571 manH376 be seenH7200 6anywhereH3605 on the mountainH2022; evenH1571 the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 may not grazeH7462 in frontH4136 of that mountainH2022.” 4So he cutH6458 out 7twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 like the formerH7223 onesH7223, and MosesH4872 roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and wentH5927 up to MountH2022 SinaiH5514, as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him, and he tookH3947 twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 in his handH3027. 58The LordH3068 descendedH3381 in the cloudH6051 and stoodH3320 thereH8033 with him as 9he calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LordH3068. 6Then the LordH3068 passedH5674 by in frontH6440 of him and proclaimedH7121, “The LordH3068, the LordH3068 GodH410, 10compassionateH7349 and graciousH2587, slowH750 to angerH639, and aboundingH7227 in lovingkindnessH2617 and 11truthH571; 7who 12keepsH5341 lovingkindnessH2617 for thousandsH505, who forgivesH5375 iniquityH5771, transgressionH6588 and sinH2403; yet He 13will by noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 the guilty unpunishedH5352, 14visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of fathersH1 on the childrenH1121 and on the grandchildrenH1121 to the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generations.” 8MosesH4872 madeH4116 hasteH4116 1516to bowH6915 lowH6915 towardH413 the earthH776 and worshipH7812. 9He saidH559, “17IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, O LordH136, I prayH4994, let the LordH136 goH1980 along in our midstH7130, evenH3588 thoughH3588 1819the peopleH5971 are so obstinateH7186H6203, and 20pardonH5545 our iniquityH5771 and our sinH2403, and 21takeH5157 us as Your own 22possessionH5157.”

10Then 23God saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 24I am going to makeH3772 a covenantH1285. BeforeH5048 allH3605 your peopleH5971 25I will performH6213 miraclesH6381 whichH834 have not been 26producedH1254 in allH3605 the earthH776 norH3808 among anyH3605 of the nationsH1471; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 27amongH7130 whomH834 you live will seeH7200 the workingH4639 of the LordH3068, for it is a fearfulH3372 thingH3372 that I am going to performH6213 with you.

11“28Be sure to observeH8104 whatH834 I am commandingH6680 you this dayH3117: beholdH2009, 29I am going to driveH1644 out the AmoriteH567 beforeH4480H6440 you, and the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. 1230WatchH8104 yourself that you makeH3772 noH6435 covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into whichH834 you are goingH935, orH6435 it will becomeH1961 a snareH4170 in your midstH7130. 1331But rather, you are to tearH5422 downH5422 their altarsH4196 and smashH7665 their sacred pillarsH4676 and cutH3772 downH3772 their 3233AsherimH842 14--for 34you shall not worshipH7812 anyH312 otherH312 godH410, for the LordH3068, whose nameH8034 is JealousH7067, is a jealousH7067 GodH410--
