CHAPTER 34
And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write
upon
these
tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
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 L
ORD
had commanded him, and took in his hand the two
tables of stone.
5
And the L
ORD
descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed
the name of the L
ORD
.
6
And the L
ORD
passed by before him, and proclaimed, The L
ORD
, The L
ORD
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 clear
the
guilty;
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto
the third and to the fourth
generation.
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, let my Lord,
I pray thee, go 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 L
ORD
: for it
is
a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
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 L
ORD
, whose name
is
Jealous,
is
a 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, and make 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.
