⥃New Stone Tablets ^{[ Deuteronomy 10:1–11 ]}

[1] And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew² thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will³ write upon [these] tables the words⁴ that were in the first tables, which⁵ 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 top⁶ 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.⁷

[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 descended⁸ in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name⁹ of the Lord. [6] And the Lord passed¹⁰ by before him, and proclaimed¹¹, The Lord¹², The Lord God, merciful¹³ and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant¹⁴ in goodness and truth¹⁵, [7] Keeping¹⁶ mercy for thousands, forgiving¹⁷ iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty¹⁸]; visiting¹⁹ 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.²⁰ [9] And he said, If now²¹ I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord²², I pray thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked²³ people; and pardon²⁴ our iniquity and our sin, and take us²⁵ for thine inheritance.

⥃The LORD Renews the Covenant ^{[ 2 Corinthians 3:7–18 ]}

[10] And he said, Behold, I make²⁶ a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels²⁷, 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 terrible²⁸ thing that I will do with thee. [11] Observe²⁹ thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive³⁰ out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. [12] Take heed³¹ to thyself, lest³² 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 shall³³ destroy their altars, break their images³⁴, and cut down their groves: [14] For thou shalt worship³⁵ no other god: for the Lord, whose³⁶ name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God³⁷: [15] Lest thou make³⁸ a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring³⁹ after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and [one] call thee⁴⁰, and thou eat⁴¹ 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.⁴² [17] Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.⁴³

[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.⁴⁴ [19] All that openeth⁴⁵ the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male]. [20] But the firstling⁴⁶ of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb⁴⁷: and if thou redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the⁴⁸ firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none⁴⁹ shall appear before me empty.

[21] [¶]Six⁵⁰ days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing⁵¹ time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

[22] [¶]And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks⁵², of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end⁵³.

[23] [¶]Thrice⁵⁴ in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God, the God⁵⁵ of Israel. [24] For I will⁵⁶ cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge⁵⁷ thy borders: neither shall any man desire⁵⁸ 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 leaven⁵⁹; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left⁶⁰ unto the morning. [26] The first⁶¹ of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe⁶² a kid in his mother’s milk. [27] And the Lord said unto Moses, Write⁶³ thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have⁶⁴ made a covenant with thee and with Israel. [28] And he was there with the Lord forty days⁶⁵ and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote⁶⁶ upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments⁶⁷.

[29] [¶]And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables⁶⁸ of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist⁶⁹ not that the skin⁷⁰ of his face shone⁷¹ while he talked with him.⁷² [30] And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid⁷³ to come nigh him. [31] And Moses called⁷⁴ unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked⁷⁵ with them. [32] And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave⁷⁶ 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 vail⁷⁷ on his face. [34] But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took⁷⁸ 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. ⁷⁹
