King James Version
The New Stone Tablets
1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him
there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The
LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering,
and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 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.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth,
and worshipped.
9 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 men children 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.
The Radiant Face of
Moses
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.1
