¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew¹ thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will² write upon these tables the words³ that were in the first tables, which⁴ thou brakest.

And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top⁵ of the mount.

⁶And 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.

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.

¶ And the LORD descended⁷ in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name⁸ of the LORD.

And the LORD passed⁹ by before him, and proclaimed¹⁰, The LORD¹¹, The LORD God, merciful¹² and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant¹³ in goodness and truth¹⁴,

Keeping¹⁵ mercy for thousands, forgiving¹⁶ iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty;¹⁷ visiting¹⁸ the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

¹⁹And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

And he said, If now²⁰ I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord²¹, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked²² people; and pardon²³ our iniquity and our sin, and take us²⁴ for thine inheritance.

¶ And he said, Behold, I make²⁵ a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels²⁶, 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 terrible²⁷ thing that I will do with thee.

Observe²⁸ thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive²⁹ out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Take heed³⁰ to thyself, lest³¹ thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

But ye shall³² destroy their altars, break their images³³, and cut down their groves:

For thou shalt worship³⁴ no other god: for the LORD, whose³⁵ name is Jealous, is a jealous God³⁶:

Lest thou make³⁷ a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring³⁸ after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee,³⁹ and thou eat⁴⁰ of his sacrifice;

⁴¹And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

⁴²Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

¶⁴³The 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.

All that openeth⁴⁴ the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male].

¶ But the firstling⁴⁵ of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb⁴⁶: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none⁴⁷ shall appear before me empty.

Six⁴⁸ days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing⁴⁹ time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks⁵⁰, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end⁵¹.

Thrice⁵² in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God⁵³ of Israel.

For I will⁵⁴ cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge⁵⁵ thy borders: neither shall any man desire⁵⁶ thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven⁵⁷; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left⁵⁸ unto the morning.

The first⁵⁹ of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe⁶⁰ a kid in his mother's milk.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write⁶¹ thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have⁶² made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

¶ And he was there with the LORD forty days⁶³ and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote⁶⁴ upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments⁶⁵.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables⁶⁶ of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist⁶⁷ not that the skin⁶⁸ of his face shone⁶⁹ while he talked with him.

¶ And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid⁷⁰ to come nigh him.

And Moses called⁷¹ unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked⁷² with them.

And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave⁷³ them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail⁷⁴ on his face.

But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took⁷⁵ the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.

⁷⁶And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
