34:1 1 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut out 2 two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write 3 on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you smashed. 34:2 Be prepared 4 in the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and station yourself 5 for me there on the top of the mountain. 34:3 No one is to come up with you; do not let anyone be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks or the herds may graze in front of that mountain.” 34:4 So Moses 6 cut out two tablets of stone like the first; 7 early in the morning he went up 8 to Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded him, and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
34:5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the Lord by name. 9 34:6 The Lord passed by before him and proclaimed: 10 “The Lord, the Lord, 11 the compassionate and gracious 12 God, slow to anger, 13 and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness, 14 34:7 keeping loyal love for thousands, 15 forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression 16 of fathers by dealing with children and children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.”
34:8 Moses quickly bowed 17 to the ground and worshiped 34:9 and said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord 18 go among us, for we 19 are a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
34:10 He said, “See, I am going to make 20 a covenant before all your people. I will do wonders such as have not been done 21 in all the earth, nor in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you. 22
34:11 “Obey 23 what I am commanding you this day. I am going to drive out 24 before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 34:12 Be careful not to make 25 a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it become a snare 26 among you. 34:13 Rather you must destroy their altars, smash their images, and cut down their Asherah poles. 27 34:14 For you must not worship 28 any other god, 29 for the Lord, whose name 30 is Jealous, is a jealous God.
