1Yahweh said to Moses, "Carve out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke."
2"Be ready by morning, and come up to Mount Sinai in the morning. Present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain."
3"No one else should come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain. Do not let flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain."
4He carved out two stone tablets like the first ones. Moses got up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, carrying the two stone tablets.
5Yahweh came down in the cloud, and stood with him there, and announced Yahweh's name.
6Yahweh passed by before him, and announced, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and rich in faithful love and truth.
7He keeps faithful love for thousands, forgiving wrongdoing, rebellion, and sin; but he will not let the guilty go unpunished. He punishes the children and their children for the sins of their parents, to the third and fourth generation."
8Moses quickly bowed his head toward the ground and worshiped.
9He said, "If I have found favor with you, Lord, please let the Lord go among us. Even though these are a stubborn people, please pardon our wrongdoing and our sin, and take us as your own possession."
10He said, "Look, I am making a covenant. Before all your people, I will do miracles such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation. All the people where you are will see the work of Yahweh, for what I will do with you is awesome.
11Obey what I command you today. Look, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
12Be careful not to make a treaty with the people of the land where you are going, or it will become a trap among you.
13Instead, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and cut down their Asherah poles.
14For you must not worship any other god. Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
15"Do not make a treaty with the people of the land. Otherwise, they might chase after their gods and offer sacrifices to them. Then they might invite you, and you would eat from their sacrifices.
16You might also take their daughters as wives for your sons. Then their daughters would chase after their gods and lead your sons to do the same.
17"You must not make any molten idols for yourselves.
18"You must celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, just as I commanded you, at the set time in the month of Abib. This is because you left Egypt in the month of Abib.
19"Every firstborn, whether human or animal, belongs to me. This includes the firstborn males of cows and sheep.
20You must buy back the firstborn male of a donkey with a lamb. If you do not buy it back, you must break its neck. You must also buy back all the firstborn among your sons. No one should come to me empty-handed.
21"You may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. You must rest even during the busy times of plowing and harvest.
22"You must observe the Festival of Weeks, celebrating the first harvest of wheat, and the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year.
23Three times a year, all your men must appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.
24I will drive out the nations before you and expand your territory. No one will want your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times a year.
25"You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything made with yeast. Also, do not leave any part of the Passover sacrifice until morning.
26"You must bring the very first of your harvest to the house of Yahweh your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk."
27Yahweh said to Moses, "Write down these words, because based on these words, I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
28Moses stayed there with Yahweh for forty days and forty nights. He did not eat bread or drink water. He wrote the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments, on the stone tablets.
29When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hand, he did not know that his face was glowing because he had spoken with God.
30When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, they noticed that his face was glowing, and they were afraid to go near him.
31Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the community returned to him, and Moses spoke with them.
32Afterward, all the Israelites came closer, and he gave them all the commands that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
33When Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34However, whenever Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he came out. When he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded.
35The Israelites saw Moses' face, and the skin of his face glowed. So Moses put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Yahweh again.
