⁸ So Moses made haste and ^(A)bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. ⁹ Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, ^(B)let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a ^(C)stiff-necked^[a] people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as ^(D)Your inheritance.”

The Covenant Renewed^(E)

¹⁰ And He said: “Behold, ^(F)I make a covenant. Before all your people I will ^(G)do ^[b]marvels 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 the Lord. For it is ^(H)an awesome thing that I will do with you.

²⁷ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write ^(A)these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” ^28 (B)So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And ^(C)He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ^[a]Ten Commandments.
