Exodus 34:15-35

15otherwiseH6435 you mightH6435 makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 and they would playH2181 the harlotH2181 with their godsH430 and 1sacrificeH2076 to their godsH430, and someone 2might inviteH7121 you 3to eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077, 16and 4you might takeH3947 someH4480 of his daughtersH1323 for your sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323 might playH2181 the harlotH2181 with their godsH430 and cause your sonsH1121 also to playH2181 the harlotH2181 with their godsH430. 175You shall makeH6213 for yourself noH3808 moltenH4541 godsH430.

18“You shall observeH8104 6the FeastH2282 of UnleavenedH4682 BreadH4682. For 7sevenH7651 daysH3117 you are to eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, 8as I commandedH6680 you, at the appointedH4150 timeH4150 in the 9monthH2320 of AbibH24, for in the monthH2320 of AbibH24 you cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714.

19“10The firstH6363 offspringH6363 from everyH3605 wombH7358 belongs to Me, and allH3605 your maleH2145 livestockH4735, the firstH6363 offspringH6363 from 11cattleH7794 and sheepH7716. 2012You shall redeemH6299 with a lambH7716 the 13firstH6363 offspringH6363 from a donkeyH2543; and ifH518 you do not redeemH6299 it, then you shall breakH6202 its neckH6202. You shall redeemH6299 14allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of your sonsH1121. 1516NoneH3808 shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 Me empty-handedH7387.

21“You shall workH5647 17sixH8337 daysH3117, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 you shall restH7673; even during plowingH2758 timeH2758 and harvestH7105 you shall restH7673. 22You shall celebrateH6213 18the FeastH2282 of WeeksH7620, that is, the firstH1061 fruitsH1061 of the wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and the FeastH2282 of IngatheringH614 at the turnH8622 of the yearH8141. 2319ThreeH7969 timesH6471 a yearH8141 allH3605 your malesH2138 are to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH113 20GodH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 24For I will 2122driveH3423 out nationsH1471 beforeH4480H6440 you and enlargeH7337 your bordersH1366, and noH3808 manH376 shall covetH2530 your landH776 when you goH5927 up threeH7969 timesH6471 a yearH8141 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430.

25“23You shall not 24offerH7819 the bloodH1818 of My sacrificeH2077 with leavenedH2557 breadH2557, 25norH3808 is the sacrificeH2077 of the FeastH2282 of the PassoverH6453 to 26be leftH3885 overH3885 until morningH1242.

26“You shall bringH935 27the very firstH7225 of the firstH1061 fruitsH1061 of your soilH127 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430.

“You shall not boilH1310 a youngH1423 goatH1423 in its mother’sH517 milkH2461.”

27Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “28WriteH3789 29downH3789 theseH428 wordsH1697, for in accordanceH5921H6310 with theseH428 wordsH1697 I have madeH3772 30a covenantH1285 with you and with IsraelH3478.” 28So he was thereH8033 with the LordH3068 31fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; he did not eatH398 breadH3899 or drinkH8354 waterH4325. And 3233he wroteH3789 on the tabletsH3871 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285, 34the TenH6235 35CommandmentsH1697.

29It cameH1961 about when MosesH4872 was comingH3381 downH3381 from MountH2022 SinaiH5514 (and the 36twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of the testimonyH5715 were in Moses’H4872 handH3027 as he was comingH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022), that MosesH4872 did not knowH3045 that 37the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160 because of his speakingH1696 with Him. 30So when AaronH175 and allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 MosesH4872, beholdH2009, the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160, and 38they were afraidH3372 to comeH5066 nearH5066 him. 31Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 to them, and AaronH175 and allH3605 the rulersH5387 in the congregationH5712 returnedH7725 to him; and MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to them. 32AfterwardH310 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH5066 nearH5066, and he commandedH6680 them to do everythingH3605 that the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 39to him on MountH2022 SinaiH5514. 33When MosesH4872 had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 with them, 40he putH5414 a veilH4533 overH5921 his faceH6440. 34But whenever MosesH4872 wentH935 in beforeH6440 the LordH3068 to speakH1696 with Him, 41he would takeH5493 offH5493 the veilH4533 untilH5704 he cameH3318 out; and whenever he cameH3318 out and spokeH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 whatH834 he had been commandedH6680, 3542the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 would seeH7200 the faceH6440 of MosesH4872, that the skinH5785 of Moses’H4872 faceH6440 shoneH7160. So MosesH4872 would replaceH7725 the veilH4533 overH5921 his faceH6440 untilH5704 he wentH935 in to speakH1696 with Him.
