Bible verse for August 12

³ Nobody may come up with you, and nobody may be seen anywhere on the mountain. Even the sheep and cattle must not graze facing that mountain.” ⁴ So he carved out two stone tablets like the earlier ones, and early in the morning Moses rose and climbed Mount Sinai as Yahweh had commanded him, carrying the two stone tablets in his hand. ⁵ Yahweh descended in the cloud and stood beside him there, and he called out the name of Yahweh. ⁶ Yahweh passed by in front of him and called out, “Yahweh, Yahweh, a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in steadfast love and faithfulness, ⁷ who preserves steadfast love for thousands and forgives iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But he will certainly not acquit the guilty; he calls the children and the grandchildren to account for the iniquity of the fathers, to the third and the fourth generation.” ⁸ Moses at once bent low to the ground and worshiped. ⁹ He said, “If now I have found favor with you, Lord, please let the Lord go along in our midst. This is a stiff-necked people, but pardon our iniquity and our sin, and make us your inheritance.”
