Exodus 34
Revised Version 1895
1And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Hew thee twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223: and I will writeH3789 uponH5921 the tables the wordsH1697 that were on the firstH7223 tables, whichH834 thou brakest. 2And be readyH3559 by the morningH1242, and comeH1961 upH5927 in the morningH1242 unto mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and presentH8033 thyself there to meH413 on the topH7218 of the mountH2022. 3And noH3808 manH376 shall comeH5927 upH5927 with thee, neitherH3808 letH408 anyH3605 manH376 be seenH7200 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the mountH2022; neitherH3808 letH408 the flocksH6629 norH3808 herdsH1241 feedH7462 beforeH413 that mountH2022. 4And he hewed twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223; and MosesH4872 roseH7925 upH5927 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and wentH5927 upH5927 unto mountH2022 SinaiH5514, as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 him, and tookH3947 in his handH3027 twoH8147 tables of stoneH68. 5And the LORDH3068 descendedH3381 in the cloudH6051, and stoodH3320 with him there, and proclaimedH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. 6And the LORDH3068 passedH5674 by beforeH6440 him, and proclaimedH7121, The LORDH3068, the LORDH3068, a GodH410 fullH7227 of compassion and graciousH2587, slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteous in mercyH3068 and truthH571; 7keepingH5341 mercy for thousandsH505, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588 and sinH2403: and that will by noH3808 meansH5352 clearH5352 the guiltyH5771; visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 uponH5921 the childrenH1121, and uponH5921 the children’sH1121 childrenH1121, uponH5921 the thirdH8029 and uponH5921 the fourthH7256 generationH8029. 8And MosesH4872 madeH4116 hasteH4116, and bowedH7812 his head toward the earthH776, and worshipped. 9And he saidH559, IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136, letH4994 the LordH136, I prayH4994 thee, goH4994 in the midstH7130 of usH4994; for it is a stiffnecked peopleH5971; and pardonH5545 our iniquityH5771 and our sinH2403, and takeH5157 usH4994 for thine inheritanceH5157. 10And he saidH559, BeholdH2009, I makeH6213 a covenantH1285: beforeH5048 allH3605 thy peopleH5971 I will doH6213 marvels, suchH834 as have notH3808 been wroughtH4639 in allH3605 the earthH776, norH3808 in anyH3605 nationH1471: and allH3605 the peopleH5971 among whichH834 thou artH4639 shall seeH7200 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068, for it is a terrible thingH3588 that I doH6213 with thee. 11ObserveH8104 thou that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117: beholdH2005, I driveH1644 outH1644 beforeH6440 thee the AmoriteH567, and the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983. 12TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself, lestH6435 thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 whither thou goest, lestH6435 it be for a snareH4170 in the midstH7130 of thee: 13but ye shall breakH7665 downH5422 their altarsH4196, and dash in piecesH7665 their pillarsH4676, and ye shall cutH3772 downH5422 their AsherimH842: 14for thou shalt worshipH7812 noH3808 otherH312 godH410: for the LORDH3068, whoseH8034 nameH8034 is JealousH7067, is a jealousH7067 GodH410: 15lestH6435 thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, and they go a whoring afterH310 their godsH430, and do sacrificeH2077 unto their godsH430, and one callH7121 thee and thou eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077; 16and thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoring afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH3947 thy sonsH1121 go a whoring afterH310 their godsH430. 17Thou shalt makeH6213 thee noH3808 molten godsH430. 18The feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shalt thou keepH8104. SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, as I commandedH6680 thee, at the time appointedH4150 in the monthH2320 AbibH24: for in the monthH2320 AbibH24 thou camest outH3318 from EgyptH4714. 19AllH3605 that openeth the wombH7358 is mine; and allH3605 thy cattleH4735 that is male, the firstlings of oxH7794 and sheepH7716. 20And the firstlingH6363 of an ass thou shalt redeemH6299 with a lambH7716: and ifH518 thou wilt notH3808 redeemH6299 it, then thou shalt breakH6202 itsH3605 neckH6202. AllH3605 the firstbornH1060 of thy sonsH1121 thou shalt redeemH6299. And noneH3808 shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 meH6440 emptyH7387. 21SixH8337 daysH3117 thou shalt workH5647, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 thou shalt rest: in plowingH2758 time and in harvestH7105 thou shalt rest. 22And thou shalt observeH6213 the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, evenH6213 of the firstfruits of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and the feastH2282 of ingatheringH614 at the year’sH8141 end. 23ThreeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141 shall allH3605 thy malesH2138 appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 GODH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 24For I will castH5927 outH3423 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 thee, and enlargeH7337 thy bordersH1366: neitherH3808 shall anyH376 manH376 desireH2530 thy landH776, when thou goest upH5927 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 threeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141. 25Thou shalt notH3808 offerH2077 the bloodH1818 of my sacrificeH2077 with leavenedH2557 breadH2557; neitherH3808 shall the sacrificeH2077 of the feastH2282 of the passoverH6453 be left unto the morningH1242. 26The firstH7225 of the firstfruits of thy groundH127 thou shalt bringH935 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. Thou shalt notH3808 seetheH1310 a kid in itsH935 mother’sH517 milkH2461. 27And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 thou theseH428 wordsH1697: for afterH5921 the tenor of theseH428 wordsH1697 I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee and with IsraelH3478. 28And he was there with the LORDH3068 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; he didH3808 neitherH3808 eatH398 breadH3899, norH3808 drinkH8354 waterH4325. And he wroteH3789 uponH5921 the tables the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285, the tenH6235 commandmentsH1697. 29And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when MosesH4872 cameH1961 downH3381 from mountH2022 SinaiH5514 with the twoH8147 tables of the testimonyH5715 in Moses’H4872 handH3027, when he cameH1961 downH3381 from the mountH2022, that MosesH4872 wist notH3808 that the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160 by reason of his speakingH1696 with him. 30And when AaronH175 and allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 MosesH4872, beholdH2009, the skinH5785 of his faceH6440 shoneH7160; and they were afraidH3372 to comeH5066 nigh him. 31And MosesH4872 calledH7121 unto them; and AaronH175 and allH3605 the rulers of the congregationH5712 returnedH7725 unto him: and MosesH4872 spake to them. 32And afterwardH310 allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH5066 nigh: and he gaveH6680 them in commandmentH6680 allH3605 that the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 with him in mountH2022 SinaiH5514. 33And when MosesH4872 had done speakingH1696 with them, he putH5414 a veilH4533 on his faceH6440. 34But when MosesH4872 wentH3318 in beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to speakH1696 with him, he tookH3318 the veilH4533 offH5493, untilH5704 he cameH935 outH3318; and he cameH935 outH3318, and spake unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that whichH834 he was commandedH6680; 35and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 the faceH6440 of MosesH4872, that the skinH5785 of Moses’H4872 faceH6440 shoneH7160: and MosesH4872 putH935 the veilH4533 uponH5921 his faceH6440 againH7725, untilH5704 he wentH935 in to speakH1696 with him.
