chapter 34
1
And
after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the former, and I
will write upon them the words which were in the tables, which thou brokest.
2 Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go
up into mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount.
3 Let no man go up with thee: and let not any man be
seen throughout all the mount: neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over
against it.
4 Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been
before: and rising very early he went up into the mount Sinai, as the Lord had
commanded him, carrying with him the tables.
5 And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses
stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.
6 And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord,
the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,
7 Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away
iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before
thee. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the
grandchildren, unto the third and fourth generation.
8 And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the
earth, and adoring,
9 Said: If I have found grace in thy sight: O Lord, I
beseech thee, that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people,) and
take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.
10 The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the
sight of all. I will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in
any nation: that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the
terrible work of the Lord which I will do.
11 Observe all things which this day I command thee: I
myself will drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the
Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
12 Beware thou never join in friendship with the
inhabitants of that land, which may be thy ruin:
13 But destroy their altars, break their statues, and
cut down their groves:
14 Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is
Jealous, he is a jealous God.
15 Make no covenant with the men of those countries
lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored
their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.
16 Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife
for thy son, lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make
thy sons also to commit fornication with their gods.
17 Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods.
18 Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread.
Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of
the month of the new corn: for in the month of the springtime thou camest out
from Egypt.
19 All of the male kind, that openeth the womb, shall
be mine. Of all beasts, both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine.
20 The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a
sheep: but if thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The
firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me
empty.
21 Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt
cease to plough, and to reap.
22 Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the
firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of
the year returneth that all things are laid in.
23 Three times in a year all thy males shall appear in
the sight of the Almighty Lord the God of Israel.
24 For when I shall have taken away the nations from
thy face, and shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against
thy land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God
thrice in a year.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon
leaven: neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of
the solemnity of the Lord.
26 The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt
offer in the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk
of his dam.
27 And the Lord said to Moses: Write these words by
which I have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty
nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the
ten words of the covenant.
29 And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he
held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned
from the conversation of the Lord.
30 And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face
of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.
31 And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron
and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.
32 And all the children of Israel came to him: and he
gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.
33 And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his
face.
34 But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him,
he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of
Israel all things that had been commanded him.
35 And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out
was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
