Éxodo 34
Dios Habla Hoy
Las nuevas tablas de la ley(A)
34 El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
—Corta tú mismo dos tablas de piedra iguales a las primeras, para que yo escriba en ellas las mismas palabras que estaban escritas en las primeras tablas, las que hiciste pedazos. 2 Prepárate también para subir al monte Sinaí mañana por la mañana, y preséntate ante mí en la parte más alta del monte. 3 Nadie debe subir contigo, ni se debe ver a nadie por todo el monte; tampoco debe haber ovejas o vacas pastando frente al monte.
4 Moisés cortó dos tablas de piedra iguales a las primeras. Al día siguiente, muy temprano, tomó las dos tablas de piedra y subió al monte Sinaí, tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado. 5 Entonces el Señor bajó en una nube y estuvo allí con Moisés, y pronunció su propio nombre. 6 Pasó delante de Moisés, diciendo en voz alta:
—¡El Señor! ¡El Señor! ¡Dios tierno y compasivo, paciente y grande en amor y verdad! 7 Por mil generaciones se mantiene fiel en su amor y perdona la maldad, la rebeldía y el pecado; pero no deja sin castigo al culpable, sino que castiga la maldad de los padres en los hijos y en los nietos, en los bisnietos y en los tataranietos.
8 Rápidamente Moisés se inclinó hasta tocar el suelo con la frente, y adoró al Señor 9 diciendo:
—¡Señor! ¡Señor! Si en verdad me he ganado tu favor, acompáñanos. Esta gente es realmente muy terca, pero perdónanos nuestros pecados y maldad, y acéptanos como tu pueblo.
La alianza renovada(B)
10 El Señor dijo:
«Pongan atención: yo hago ahora una alianza ante todo tu pueblo. Voy a hacer cosas maravillosas que no han sido hechas en ninguna otra nación de la tierra, y toda la gente entre la que ustedes se encuentran verá lo que el Señor puede hacer, pues será maravilloso lo que yo haré con ustedes.
11 »Cumplan lo que les he ordenado hoy, y yo arrojaré de la presencia de ustedes a los amorreos, cananeos, hititas, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos.
12 »No hagan ningún pacto con los que viven en el país al que van a entrar, para que no los hagan caer en sus redes. 13 Al contrario, derriben sus altares y destrocen por completo sus piedras y troncos sagrados.
14 »No adoren a ningún otro dios, porque el Señor es celoso. Su nombre es Dios celoso.
15 »No hagan ningún pacto con los que viven en esa tierra, no sea que cuando ellos se rebajen a adorar a sus dioses y les presenten ofrendas, los inviten a ustedes y ustedes coman también de esas ofrendas, 16 o casen ellos a sus hijas con los hijos de ustedes, y cuando ellas cometan inmoralidades al adorar a sus dioses, hagan que los hijos de ustedes también se rebajen a adorarlos.
17 »Jamás se hagan ustedes ídolos de metal fundido.
Fiestas anuales(C)
18 »Celebren la fiesta del pan sin levadura y, de acuerdo con lo que les he ordenado, coman pan sin levadura durante siete días. La fecha señalada es el mes de Abib, porque en ese mes salieron de Egipto.
19 »Todo primer hijo que ustedes tengan, será para mí, lo mismo que toda primera cría de sus vacas, ovejas y cabras, si la cría es un macho. 20 En el caso de la primera cría de una asna, deben dar un cordero o un cabrito en lugar del asno; pero si no lo dan, le romperán el cuello al asno. También deben dar una ofrenda en lugar de cada hijo mayor. Y nadie ha de venir a verme si no trae algo.
21 »Trabajen durante seis días, pero el día séptimo deben descansar, aun en tiempo de siembra o de cosecha.
22 »Celebren la fiesta de las Semanas, la de los primeros frutos de la cosecha de trigo, y la de la cosecha de fin del año.
23 »Todos los hombres se presentarán tres veces al año ante el Señor, el Dios de Israel. 24 Yo voy a arrojar de la presencia de ustedes a las demás naciones, y extenderé el territorio de ustedes. Así nadie tratará de adueñarse de su tierra mientras ustedes van a presentarse ante el Señor su Dios tres veces al año.
25 »En los sacrificios de animales, no ofrezcan juntos la sangre y el pan con levadura, ni guarden para el día siguiente lo que sobre del animal sacrificado en la Pascua.
26 »Deben llevar los mejores primeros frutos de su tierra al templo del Señor su Dios.
»No cocinen cabritos en la leche de su madre.»
Moisés escribe la ley
27 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: «Escribe estas palabras, porque ellas son la base de la alianza que yo hago contigo y con los israelitas.»
28 Moisés se quedó allí con el Señor cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, sin comer ni beber. Allí escribió sobre las tablas las palabras de la alianza, es decir, los diez mandamientos. 29 Después bajó Moisés del monte Sinaí llevando las dos tablas de la ley; pero al bajar del monte no se dio cuenta de que su cara resplandecía por haber hablado con el Señor. 30 Cuando Aarón y todos los israelitas vieron que la cara de Moisés resplandecía, sintieron miedo y no se acercaron a él. 31 Pero Moisés los llamó, y cuando Aarón y todos los jefes de la comunidad volvieron a donde estaba Moisés, él habló con ellos. 32 Poco después se acercaron todos los israelitas, y Moisés les dio todas las órdenes que el Señor le había dado en el monte Sinaí. 33 Luego que terminó de hablar con ellos, se puso un velo sobre la cara.
34 Cuando Moisés entraba a la presencia del Señor para hablar con él, se quitaba el velo y se quedaba así hasta que salía. Entonces comunicaba a los israelitas las órdenes que había recibido del Señor. 35 Al ver los israelitas que la cara de Moisés resplandecía, él volvía a ponerse el velo sobre la cara, y se lo dejaba puesto hasta que entraba a hablar de nuevo con el Señor.
Exodus 34
New International Version
The New Stone Tablets
34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones,(A) and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,(B) which you broke.(C) 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(D) Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain;(E) not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
4 So Moses chiseled(F) out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.(G) 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud(H) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(I) 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate(J) and gracious God, slow to anger,(K) abounding in love(L) and faithfulness,(M) 7 maintaining love to thousands,(N) and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.(O) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;(P) he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”(Q)
8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor(R) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.(S) Although this is a stiff-necked(T) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,(U) and take us as your inheritance.”(V)
10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant(W) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders(X) never before done in any nation in all the world.(Y) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command(Z) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(AA) 12 Be careful not to make a treaty(AB) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare(AC) among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a](AD) 14 Do not worship any other god,(AE) for the Lord, whose name(AF) is Jealous, is a jealous God.(AG)
15 “Be careful not to make a treaty(AH) with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute(AI) themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.(AJ) 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives(AK) for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,(AL) they will lead your sons to do the same.
17 “Do not make any idols.(AM)
18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(AN) For seven days eat bread made without yeast,(AO) as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(AP) for in that month you came out of Egypt.
19 “The first offspring(AQ) of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(AR) Redeem all your firstborn sons.(AS)
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(AT)
21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;(AU) even during the plowing season and harvest(AV) you must rest.
22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits(AW) of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering(AX) at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times(AY) a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations(AZ) before you and enlarge your territory,(BA) and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast,(BB) and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.(BC)
26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(BD) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.
“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”(BE)
27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(BF) down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant(BG) with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights(BH) without eating bread or drinking water.(BI) And he wrote on the tablets(BJ) the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.(BK)
The Radiant Face of Moses
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai(BL) with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands,(BM) he was not aware that his face was radiant(BN) because he had spoken with the Lord. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community(BO) came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands(BP) the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil(BQ) over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant.(BR) Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.

Exodus 34
King James Version
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which 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 top 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.
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 descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, 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.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, 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 terrible thing that I will do with thee.
11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest 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 shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat 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.
17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
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.
19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire 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 leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
27 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28 And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh 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: and he gave 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 vail on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took 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.
