1. Yahweh said to Moses, "Cut 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. Be ready by morning, go up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and station yourself there for me on the mountain's summit.
3. No man shall go up with you; neither shall any man appear anywhere on the mountain; neither shall the flocks or herds graze before that mountain.
4. Moses chiseled two stone tablets like the first ones, rose early in the morning, and climbed Mount Sinai as Yahweh had commanded him, taking the two stone tablets in his hand.
5. Yahweh descended in the cloud and stationed himself with him there, proclaiming the name Yahweh.
6. Yahweh passed before his face and proclaimed, "Yahweh, Yahweh, compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness."
7. Preserves steadfast love for thousands, bears iniquity, transgression, and sin, but leaves no one innocent, bringing the iniquity of fathers upon children and children's children to the third and fourth generations.
8. Moses hurried and bowed his head to the ground and worshiped.
9. He said, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, for it is a stiff-necked people; forgive our iniquity and our sin, and claim us as your inheritance."
10. He said, “See, I am making a covenant right in front of your whole people; I will perform wonders such as have never been done anywhere on earth or among any nation, and all the people in whose midst you are will see Yahweh’s deed, because it is a fearsome thing that I am doing with you.”
11. Take heed to what I command you today. See, I will drive out from before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12. Be on your guard, lest you make a covenant with those dwelling in the land into which you are coming, lest it become a snare among you.
13. For you shall break down their altars, shatter their pillars, and cut down their Asherim.
14. for you shall not prostrate yourself before any other god, because Yahweh—Jealous is his name—is a jealous God.
15. Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they prostitute themselves after their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and one calls you and you eat from his sacrifice.
16. and you take their daughters for your sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods, and make your sons play the harlot after their gods.
17. Do not make molten gods for yourself.
18. Observe the festival of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the set time in the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.
19. Every firstborn that opens the womb belongs to me, and every male among your livestock—the firstborn of oxen and sheep.
20. A donkey's firstborn you shall redeem with a lamb; if you do not redeem it, then break its neck. Every firstborn among your sons you shall redeem, and none shall come before me empty.
21. Six days you shall work, and on the seventh day you shall rest—in plowing and in harvest you shall rest.
22. You shall keep the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the year's end.
23. Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel.
24. For I will drive nations from before you and enlarge your borders, nor will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times in the year.
25. You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Passover feast remain until morning.
26. You shall bring the first of your ground's firstfruits to the house of Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
27. Yahweh said to Moses, "Write these words, for according to the mouth of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
28. He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.
29. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, as he descended from the mountain, he did not realize that the skin of his face shone from speaking with him.
30. Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and look, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to approach him.
31. Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
32. Afterward all the children of Israel approached, and he commanded them all that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
33. When Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34. Whenever Moses entered before Yahweh to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out; he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel whatever he was commanded.
35. The sons of Israel saw Moses's face, for the skin of Moses's face shone, and Moses put the veil back on his face until he entered to speak with him.
