Shemoth (Exodus) 34

Exod 34:1 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Cut two tablets of stone like the first
ones, and I shall write on these tablets the Words that were on the first tablets
which you broke.
Exod 34:2 “And be ready in the morning. Then you shall come up in the
morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the
mountain.
Exod 34:3 “And let no man come up with you, and let no man be seen in all
the mountain, and let not even the flock or the herd feed in front of that
mountain.”
Exod 34:4 And he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Mosheh
rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as יהוה had commanded
him, and he took two tablets of stone in his hand.
Exod 34:5 And יהוה came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and
proclaimed the Name, יהוה.
Exod 34:6 And יהוה passed before him and proclaimed, “ יהוה, יהוה, an Ĕl
compassionate and showing favour, patient, and great in kindness and truth,
Exod 34:7 watching over kindness for thousands, forgiving crookedness and
transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished, visiting the
crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the
third and the fourth generation.”
Exod 34:8 And Mosheh hurried and bowed himself toward the earth, and
did obeisance,
Exod 34:9 and said, “If, now, I have found favour in Your eyes, O יהוה, I
pray, let יהוה go on in our midst, even though we are a stiff-necked people.
And forgive our crookedness and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
Exod 34:10 And He said, “See, I am making a covenant. Before all your
people I am going to do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth,
nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work
of יהוה. For what I am doing with you is awesome.
Exod 34:11 “Guard what I command you today. See, I am driving out from
before you the Amorite and the Kena‛anite and the Ḥittite and the Perizzite
and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite.
Exod 34:12 “Guard yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants
of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.
Exod 34:13 “But break down their altars, and smash their pillars, and cut
down their Ashĕrim –
Exod 34:14 for you do not bow yourselves to another mighty one, for יהוה,
whose Name is jealous, is a jealous Ĕl –
Exod 34:15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and
they whore after their mighty ones, and slaughter to their mighty ones, and
one of them invites you and you eat of his slaughterings,
Exod 34:16 and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters
whore after their mighty ones, and make your sons whore after their mighty
ones.
Exod 34:17 “Do not make a moulded mighty one for yourselves.
Exod 34:18 “Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you
eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the
month of Aḇiḇ, because in the month of Aḇiḇ you came out from Mitsrayim.
Exod 34:19 “Everyone opening the womb is Mine, and every male first-born
among your livestock, whether bull or sheep.
Exod 34:20 “But the first-born of a donkey you ransom with a lamb. And if
you do not ransom, then you shall break his neck. Every first-born of your
sons you shall ransom. And they shall not appear before Me empty-handed.
Exod 34:21 “Six days you work, but on the seventh day you rest – in
ploughing time and in harvest you rest.
Exod 34:22 “And perform the Festival of Weeks for yourself, of the first-
fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
Exod 34:23 “Three times in the year all your men are to appear before the
Master, יהוה, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl,
Exod 34:24 for I dispossess nations before you, and shall enlarge your
borders, and let no one covet your land when you go up to appear before יהוה
your Elohim three times in the year.
Exod 34:25 “Do not offer the blood of My slaughtering with leaven, and do
not let the slaughtering of the Festival of the Passover remain until morning.
Exod 34:26 “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land to the House of
יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
Exod 34:27 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write these Words, for according to
the mouth of these Words I have made a covenant with you and with
Yisra’ĕl.”
Exod 34:28 And he was there with יהוה forty days and forty nights. He did
not eat bread and he did not drink water. And He wrote on the tablets the
Words of the covenant, the Ten Words.
Exod 34:29 And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai,
while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came
down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face
shone since he had spoken with Him.
Exod 34:30 And Aharon and all the children of Yisra’ĕl looked at Mosheh
and saw the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
Exod 34:31 But Mosheh called out to them, and Aharon and all the rulers of
the congregation returned to him, and Mosheh spoke to them.
Exod 34:32 And afterward all the children of Yisra’ĕl came near, and he
commanded them all that יהוה had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Exod 34:33 And when Mosheh ended speaking with them, he put a veil on
his face.
Exod 34:34 But whenever Mosheh went in before יהוה to speak with Him, he
would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out he spoke to
the children of Yisra’ĕl what he had been commanded,
Exod 34:35 and the children of Yisra’ĕl would see the face of Mosheh, that
the skin of Mosheh’s face shone, and Mosheh would put the veil on his face
again, until he went in to speak with Him.
