Exodus 34:2-35

Exodus 34:2-35

[2] And be ready  in the morning,  and come up  in the morning  unto mount  Sinai,  and present  thyself there to me in the top  of the mount.  [3] And no man  shall come up  with thee, neither  let any man  be seen  throughout all the mount;  neither let the flocks  nor herds  feed  before  that mount.  [4] And he hewed  two  tables  of stone  like unto the first;  and Moses  rose up early  in the morning,  and went up  unto mount  Sinai,  as the LORD  had commanded  him, and took  in his hand  the two  tables  of stone.  [5] And the LORD  descended  in the cloud,  and stood  with him there, and proclaimed  the name  of the LORD.  [6] And the LORD  passed by  before him,  and proclaimed,  The LORD,  God,  merciful  and gracious,  longsuffering,  and abundant  in goodness  and truth,  [7] Keeping  mercy  for thousands,  forgiving  iniquity  and transgression  and sin,  and that will by no means  the guilty; visiting  the iniquity  of the fathers  upon the children,  children, unto the third  and to the fourth  [8] And Moses  made haste,  and bowed his head  toward the earth,  and worshipped.  [9] And he said,  If now I have found  grace  in thy sight,  O Lord,  among  us; for it is a stiffnecked  people;  and pardon  our iniquity  and our sin,  and take us for thine inheritance.  [10] And he said,  Behold, I make  a covenant:  before all thy people  I will do  marvels,  such as have not been done  in all the earth,  nor in any nation:  and all the people  among  which thou art shall see  the work  of the LORD:  for it is a terrible thing  that I will do  [11] Observe  thou that which I command  thee this day:  behold, I drive out  before  thee the Amorite,  and the Canaanite,  and the Hittite,  and the Perizzite,  and the Hivite,  and the Jebusite.  [12] Take heed  to thyself, lest thou make  a covenant  with the inhabitants  of the land  whither thou goest,  lest it be for a snare  in the midst  of thee: [13] But ye shall destroy  their altars,  break  their images,  and cut down  their groves:  [14] For thou shalt worship  no other  god:  for the LORD,  whose name  is Jealous,  God:  [15] Lest thou make  a covenant  with the inhabitants  of the land,  and they go a whoring  after  their gods,  and do sacrifice  unto their gods,  and one call  thee, and thou eat  of his sacrifice;  [16] And thou take  of their daughters  unto thy sons,  and their daughters  go a whoring  after  their gods,  thy sons  go a whoring  after  their gods.  [17] Thou shalt make  thee no molten  gods.  [18] The feast  of unleavened bread  shalt thou keep.  Seven  days  thou shalt eat  unleavened bread,  as I commanded  thee, in the time  of the month  Abib:  for in the month  Abib  thou camest out  from Egypt.  [19] All that openeth  the matrix  is mine; and every firstling  among thy cattle,  whether ox  or sheep,  that is male  . [20] But the firstling  of an ass  thou shalt redeem  with a lamb:  and if thou redeem  him not, then shalt thou break his neck.  All the firstborn  of thy sons  thou shalt redeem.  And none shall appear  before  me empty.  [21] Six  days  thou shalt work,  but on the seventh  day  thou shalt rest:  in earing time  and in harvest  thou shalt rest.  [22] And thou shalt observe  the feast  of weeks,  of the firstfruits  of wheat  harvest,  and the feast  of ingathering  at the year's  end.  [23] Thrice  in the year  shall all your men children  appear  before  GOD,  the God  of Israel.  [24] For I will cast out  the nations  before  thee, and enlarge  thy borders:  neither shall any man  desire  thy land,  when thou shalt go up  to appear  before  the LORD  thy God  thrice  in the year.  [25] Thou shalt not offer  the blood  of my sacrifice  with leaven;  neither shall the sacrifice  of the feast  of the passover  be left  unto the morning.  [26] The first  of the firstfruits  of thy land  thou shalt bring  unto the house  of the LORD  thy God.  Thou shalt not seethe  a kid  in his mother's  milk.  [27] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Write  thou these words:  for after the tenor  of these words  I have made  a covenant  with thee and with Israel.  [28] And he was there with the LORD  forty  days  and forty  nights;  he did neither eat  bread,  nor drink  water.  And he wrote  upon the tables  the words  of the covenant,  the ten  commandments.  [29] And it came to pass, when Moses  came down  from mount  Sinai  with the two  tables  of testimony  in Moses'  hand,  when he came down  from the mount,  that Moses  wist  not that the skin  of his face  shone  while he talked  [30] And when Aaron  and all the children  of Israel  saw  Moses,  behold, the skin  of his face  shone;  and they were afraid  to come nigh  [31] And Moses  called  unto them; and Aaron  and all the rulers  of the congregation  returned  unto him: and Moses  talked  [32] And afterward  all the children  of Israel  came nigh:  and he gave them in commandment  all that the LORD  had spoken  with him in mount  Sinai.  [33] And till Moses  had done  speaking  with them, he put  a vail  on his face.  [34] But when Moses  went in  before  the LORD  to speak  the vail  off,  until he came out.  and spake  unto the children  of Israel  that which he was commanded.  [35] And the children  of Israel  saw  the face  of Moses,  that the skin  of Moses'  face  shone:  and Moses  the vail  upon his face  again,  until he went  in to speak  with him.
