King James Version

1 And the LORD said to Moses, "Carve for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke." 2 And you shall be ready in the morning, and you shall ascend to Mount Sinai in the morning, and you shall stand there for Me on the top of the mountain. 3 And no man shall ascend with you, and let no man be afraid in all the mountain; neither let the sheep and the cattle graze against the mountain that one. 4 And he chiseled two stone tablets like the first ones, and Moses rose early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai as Yahweh had commanded him, and he took in his hand two stone tablets. 5 And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood there with him and called in the name of the LORD. 6 And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." 7 He keeps mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children's children to the third and the fourth generation. 8 And Moses hurried and bowed down to the ground and prostrated himself. 9 And he said, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, please let my lord go in our midst, for this is a stiff-necked people, and forgive our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance." 10 And he said, "Behold, I make a covenant before all your people; I will do wonders that have not been created in all the earth and in all the nations, and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is awesome what I am doing with you." 11 Keep for yourself what I command you today. Here I am driving out from before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 12 Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst. 13 For you will demolish their altars, and break their sacred stones, and cut down their Asherah poles. 14 For you shall not bow down to another god, for the Lord is a jealous God. 15 Lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they go whoring after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and call you and you eat of their sacrifice. 16 And you shall take from my daughters for your sons, and my daughters shall be prostitutes after their gods, and they shall cause your sons to be prostitutes after their gods. 17 You shall not make for yourself a god of molten image. 18 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt. 19 Every firstborn of the womb belongs to me, and every firstborn of your cattle, the firstborn of ox and sheep, shall be remembered. 20 And you shall redeem a donkey with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you shall break its neck; every firstborn of your sons you shall redeem, and none shall appear before me empty-handed. 21 You shall work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest, in plowing and in harvesting you shall rest. 22 And you shall make the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of your wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel. 24 For I will drive out nations from before you and expand your border, and no man shall covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year. 25 You shall not slaughter the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven, and the sacrifice of the Passover shall not remain until morning. 26 You shall bring the first of the fruits of your land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. 27 And the Lord said to Moses, "Write for you these words, for according to these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel." 28 And it was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; bread he did not eat and water he did not drink. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words. 29 And it was when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses' hand as he came down from the mountain, that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to approach him. 31 And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. 32 And after that, all the children of Israel came near and commanded them all that the Lord had spoken to him on Mount Sinai. 33 And Moses finished speaking with them and put a veil over his face. 34 And when Moses came before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he went out, and he would go out and speak to the children of Israel what he had been commanded. 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone; and Moses would put the veil over his face until he went in to speak with him.
