1Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “CutH6458 outH6458 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 smashedH7665. 2So be readyH3559 by morningH1242, and comeH5927 upH5927 in the morningH1242 to 3MountH2022 SinaiH5514, and 4presentH5324 yourself thereH8033 to Me on the topH7218 of the mountainH2022. 3And 5noH3808 oneH376 is to comeH5927 upH5927 with you, norH1571H408 let anyoneH376 be seenH7200 6anywhereH3605 on the mountainH2022; evenH1571 the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 are not to grazeH7462 in frontH4136 of that mountainH2022.” 4So he cutH6458 outH6458 7twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 like the formerH7223 onesH7223, and MosesH4872 gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and wentH5927 upH5927 to MountH2022 SinaiH5514, as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him, and he tookH3947 the twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 in his handH3027. 5And 8the LordH3068 descendedH3381 in the cloudH6051 and stoodH3320 thereH8033 with him as he 9calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LordH3068. 6Then the LordH3068 passedH5674 byH5674 in frontH6440 of him and proclaimedH7121, “The LordH3068, the LordH3068 GodH410, 10compassionateH7349 and mercifulH2587, slowH750 to angerH639, and aboundingH7227 in faithfulnessH2617 and 11truthH571; 7who 12keepsH5341 faithfulnessH2617 for thousandsH505, who forgivesH5375 wrongdoingH5771, violationH6588 of His Law, and sinH2403; yet He 13will byH5352 noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 the guilty unpunishedH5352, 14inflictingH6485 the 15punishmentH5771 of fathersH1 on the childrenH1121 and on the grandchildrenH1121 to the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generations.” 8And MosesH4872 hurriedH4116 1617to bowH6915 lowH6915 towardH413 the groundH776 and worshipH2331. 9Then he saidH559, “18IfH518 in anyH4994 wayH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, LordH136, pleaseH4994 may the LordH136 goH1980 along in our midstH7130, evenH3588 thoughH3588 1920the peopleH5971 are so obstinateH7186H6203, and 21pardonH5545 our wrongdoingH5771 and our sinH2403, and 22takeH5157 us asH5157 Your own 23possessionH5157.”
