The Second Tables (Tablets) of Stone

34 And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto Moses, Hew thee (Cut you) two tables (tablets) of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables (tablets), which thou brakest (you broke).

² And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself (yourself) there to me in the top of the mount.

³ And no man shall come up with thee (you), neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

⁴ And he hewed (cut) two tables (tablets) of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables (tablets) of stone.

The LORD (ELOHIM) Passes Before Moses

⁵ And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

⁶ And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), The Lord God (Adonai Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), 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.

(NOTE: iniquity (noun) = עָוֹן (Hebrew 5771 – avon) immoral sin, grossly unfair behavior, fault, mischief, evil, punishment of iniquity, sin)

(NOTE: transgression (noun) = an act that goes against a law, rule, or code of conduct / moral principle; breach / offense)

⁸ And Moses made haste (quickly), and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

⁹ And he said, If now I have found grace in thy (your) sight, O Lord (Adonai), let my Lord (Adonai), I pray thee (you), go among us; for it is a stiffnecked (haughty and stubborn) people; and pardon our iniquity (immoral or grossly unfair behavior) and our sin, and take us for thine (your) inheritance.

God (Elohim) Renews the Covenant

¹⁰ And he said, Behold (Look), I make a covenant (an agreement): before all thy (Your) people I will do marvels (amazing work, miracles), such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art (You are) shall see the work of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee (you).

¹¹ Observe thou (you) that which I command thee (you) this day: behold, I drive out before thee (you) the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

No Covenant with the Inhabitants

¹² Take heed to thyself (Pay attention to yourself), lest thou make a covenant (you must avoid the risk of making an agreement) with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest (where you are going), lest it be for a snare (for fear that it becomes a trap) in the midst of thee (you):

¹³ But ye (you) shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

¹⁴ For thou shalt (you shall) worship no other god: for the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah):

¹⁵ Lest thou (For fear that when you) make a covenant (agreement) with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee (you), and thou (you) eat of his sacrifice;

¹⁶ And thou (you) take of their daughters unto thy (your) sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy (your) sons go a whoring after their gods.

¹⁷ Thou shalt (You shall) make thee (you) no molten gods.

Keep the Feast of the Unleavened Bread

¹⁸ The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou (you shall) keep. Seven days thou shalt (you shall) eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee (you), in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest (you came) out from Egypt.

¹⁹ All that openeth (open) the matrix (womb) is mine; and every firstling among thy (your) cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

²⁰ But the firstling of an ass (a donkey) thou shalt (you shall) redeem with a lamb: and if thou (you) redeem him not, then shalt thou (shall you) break his neck. All the firstborn of thy (your) sons thou shalt (you shall) redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

²¹ Six days thou shalt (you shall) work, but on the seventh day (7th Day) thou shalt rest (you shall rest): in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest (you shall rest).

Keep the Other Feast Days

²² And thou shalt (you shall) observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

²³ Thrice (3 times) in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) God (Adonai Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), the God (Elohim / Aluahym) of Israel.

²⁴ For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy (your) borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt (you shall) go up to appear before the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) thy (your) God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) thrice (3 times) in the year.

²⁵ Thou shalt not (You shall 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 (your) land thou shalt (you shall) bring unto the house of the Lord thy God (Adonai your Elohim / Aluahym). Thou shalt not (You shall not) seethe (boil) a kid in his mother’s milk.

Recording the Covenant

²⁷ And the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) said unto Moses, Write thou (you) these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant (an agreement) with thee (you) and with Israel.

²⁸ And he was there with the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) forty (40) days and forty (40) nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables (tablets) the words of the covenant (agreement), the ten commandments (the Ten Commandments).

Moses’ Face Shines

²⁹ And it came to pass (And it happened like this), when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables (tablets) of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not (did not know) that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him (Him; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

³⁰ And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold (look), the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh (near) 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 (near): and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

³³ And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail (veil) on his face.

³⁴ But when Moses went in before the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) to speak with him, he took the vail (veil) off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto (spoke to) 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 (veil) upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him (Him; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

35 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) commanded, that ye (you) should do them.

² Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an (a) holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): whosoever doeth (does any) work therein shall be put to death.

Genesis 1:5 (King James Version) And God (Elohim / Aluahym; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.)

²² And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).
