34 Og Herren sa til Moses: Hugg dig ut to stentavler likesom de første! Så vil jeg skrive på tavlene de ord som stod på de første tavler, de som du slo i stykker.

Hold dig så rede til imorgen tidlig! Da skal du stige op på Sinai berg og vente på mig der på toppen av fjellet.

Ingen må gå med dig op, og ingen må vise sig på hele fjellet, heller ikke må får eller okser beite under dette fjell.

Så hugg Moses ut to stentavler likesom de første, og han stod tidlig op om morgenen og steg op på Sinai berg, som Herren hadde befalt ham, og hadde de to stentavler i sin hånd.

Og Herren steg ned i skyen og stilte sig der hos ham og ropte ut Herrens navn.

Og Herren gikk forbi hans ansikt og ropte: Herren, Herren er en barmhjertig og nådig Gud, langmodig og rik på miskunnhet og sannhet;

han bevarer miskunnhet imot tusen ledd, han forlater misgjerning og overtredelse og synd; men han lar ikke den skyldige ustraffet, han hjemsøker fedres misgjerning på barn og på barnebarn, på dem i tredje og på dem i fjerde ledd.

Da bøide Moses sig hastig til jorden og tilbad.

Og han sa: Herre, dersom jeg har funnet nåde for dine øine, så gå med oss, Herre! For vel er det et hårdnakket folk; men du vil jo forlate oss vår misgjerning og vår synd og gjøre oss til din eiendom.

10 Han svarte: Se, jeg vil gjøre en pakt: For hele ditt folks øine vil jeg gjøre underfulle ting, ting som det ikke har vært make til på hele jorden eller hos noget folkeslag; og hele det folk som du lever blandt, skal se Herrens gjerning, hvor forferdelig den er, den som jeg vil gjøre for dig.

11 Hold du de bud jeg gir dig idag! Se, jeg vil jage amorittene og kana'anittene og hetittene og ferisittene og hevittene og jebusittene bort for dig.

12 Ta dig i vare så du ikke gjør nogen pakt med innbyggerne i det land du kommer til, forat de ikke skal bli til en snare blandt eder.

13 I skal rive ned deres altere, og I skal slå i stykker deres billedstøtter, og I skal hugge ned deres Astarte-billeder[a].

14 Du skal ikke tilbede nogen fremmed gud; for Herren heter Nidkjær, en nidkjær Gud er han.

15 Ta dig i vare så du ikke gjør nogen pakt med landets innbyggere! For de vil drive avgudsdyrkelse og ofre til sine guder, og når de da innbyr dig, så vil du ete av deres offer.

16 Og du vil ta hustruer blandt deres døtre til dine sønner, og deres døtre vil drive avgudsdyrkelse med sine guder og få dine sønner til å gjøre det samme.

17 Støpte gudebilleder skal du ikke gjøre dig.

18 De usyrede brøds høitid skal du holde; i syv dager skal du ete usyret brød, som jeg har befalt dig, på den fastsatte tid i måneden abib; for i måneden abib drog du ut av Egypten.

19 Alt det som åpner morsliv, hører mig til, alt ditt fe av hankjønn som åpner morsliv, enten det er storfe eller småfe.

20 Og det som åpner morsliv av asener, skal du løse med et stykke småfe, men dersom du ikke løser det, da skal du bryte nakken på det. Hver førstefødt blandt dine sønner skal du løse, og ingen skal vise sig tomhendt for mitt åsyn.

21 Seks dager skal du arbeide, og på den syvende dag skal du hvile; om det så er i våronnen eller høstonnen, så skal du holde hviledagen.

22 Ukenes høitid[b] skal du holde når du får førstegrøden av hvetehøsten, og innsamlingens høitid[c] når året er omme.

23 Tre ganger om året skal alle menn blandt eder vise sig for Herrens, Israels Guds åsyn.

24 For jeg vil jage hedningene bort for dig og utvide ditt land, og ingen skal attrå ditt land mens du går op for å vise dig for Herren din Guds åsyn tre ganger om året.

25 Du skal ikke ofre blodet av mitt slaktoffer, så lenge det er syret brød hos dig, og påskehøitidens slaktoffer skal ikke bli liggende natten over til om morgenen.

26 Det første av din jords førstegrøde skal du bære til Herren din Guds hus. Du skal ikke koke et kje i dets mors melk.

27 Og Herren sa til Moses: Skriv nu du op disse ord! For efter disse ord har jeg gjort en pakt med dig og med Israel.

28 Og han var der hos Herren firti dager og firti netter uten å ete brød og uten å drikke vann; og han[d] skrev på tavlene paktens ord, de ti ord.

29 Så gikk Moses ned fra Sinai berg, og da han gikk ned fra fjellet, hadde han vidnesbyrdets to tavler i sin hånd; men Moses visste ikke at hans ansikts hud skinte fordi han[e] hadde talt med ham.

30 Og Aron og alle Israels barn så at huden på Moses' ansikt skinte; og de fryktet for å komme nær til ham.

31 Da kalte Moses på dem, og Aron og alle menighetens høvdinger vendte tilbake til ham, og Moses talte til dem.

32 Derefter gikk alle Israels barn nær til, og han bar frem til dem alle de bud som Herren hadde gitt ham på Sinai berg.

33 Og da Moses holdt op å tale til dem, la han et dekke over sitt ansikt.

34 Men når Moses gikk inn for Herrens åsyn for å tale med ham, tok han dekket av, til han gikk ut igjen; og når han kom ut, talte han til Israels barn det som var blitt sagt ham.

35 Og Israels barn så at huden på Moses' ansikt skinte; og Moses la atter dekket over sitt ansikt, til han gikk inn igjen for å tale med ham.

The New Stone Tablets

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones,(A) and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,(B) which you broke.(C) Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(D) Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain;(E) not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

So Moses chiseled(F) out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.(G) Then the Lord came down in the cloud(H) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(I) And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate(J) and gracious God, slow to anger,(K) abounding in love(L) and faithfulness,(M) maintaining love to thousands,(N) and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.(O) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;(P) he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”(Q)

Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor(R) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.(S) Although this is a stiff-necked(T) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,(U) and take us as your inheritance.”(V)

10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant(W) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders(X) never before done in any nation in all the world.(Y) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command(Z) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(AA) 12 Be careful not to make a treaty(AB) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare(AC) among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a](AD) 14 Do not worship any other god,(AE) for the Lord, whose name(AF) is Jealous, is a jealous God.(AG)

15 “Be careful not to make a treaty(AH) with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute(AI) themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.(AJ) 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives(AK) for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,(AL) they will lead your sons to do the same.

17 “Do not make any idols.(AM)

18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(AN) For seven days eat bread made without yeast,(AO) as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(AP) for in that month you came out of Egypt.

19 “The first offspring(AQ) of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(AR) Redeem all your firstborn sons.(AS)

“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(AT)

21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;(AU) even during the plowing season and harvest(AV) you must rest.

22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits(AW) of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering(AX) at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times(AY) a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations(AZ) before you and enlarge your territory,(BA) and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast,(BB) and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.(BC)

26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(BD) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”(BE)

27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(BF) down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant(BG) with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights(BH) without eating bread or drinking water.(BI) And he wrote on the tablets(BJ) the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.(BK)

The Radiant Face of Moses

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai(BL) with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands,(BM) he was not aware that his face was radiant(BN) because he had spoken with the Lord. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community(BO) came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands(BP) the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil(BQ) over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant.(BR) Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.

34 And the Lord 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.

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.

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.

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 descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.

And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

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.

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

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 Lord: 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 Lord, 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.

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 menchildren appear before the Lord 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 with him.

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 him.

31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.

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 with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And 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 put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
