重做法版(A)

34 耶和华对摩西说:“你要凿出两块石版,好象先前的一样,我要把先前写在你摔碎了的石版上的字写在这两块石版上。 早晨之前,你要预备好了;到早晨的时候,你要上到西奈山来,在山顶上站在我面前。 谁也不准同你一起上来,整个山都不准有人出现,也不准牛羊在这山前吃草。” 摩西就凿了两块石版,好象先前的一样。他一早起来,照着耶和华吩咐他的,上到西奈山去,手里拿着两块石版。 耶和华在云彩中降下来,与摩西一同站在那里,并且宣告耶和华的名字。 耶和华在摩西面前经过,并且宣告说:“耶和华,耶和华,是有怜悯有恩典的 神,不轻易发怒,并且有丰盛的慈爱和诚实, 为千千万万人留下慈爱,赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶。一定要清除罪,追讨罪孽自父及子至孙,直到三四代。” 摩西急忙俯首在地敬拜, 说:“主啊,我若是在你眼前蒙恩,求我主与我们同行,因为这是硬着颈项的人民。又求你赦免我们的罪孽和我们的罪恶,把我们当作你的产业。”

重新立约(B)

10 耶和华说:“看哪,我要立约,我要在你全体的人民面前作奇妙的事,是在全地万国中没有行过的。在你四周的万民都必看见耶和华的作为,因为我向你所行的是可畏惧的事。 11 我今天吩咐你的,你务要遵守。看哪,我要把亚摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人,从你面前赶逐出去。 12 你要小心,不可与你所去的那地的居民立约,恐怕这事在你中间成为陷阱。 13 他们的祭坛你们却要拆毁,他们的柱像你们要打碎,他们的亚舍拉你们要砍下。 14 你不可敬拜别的神,因为耶和华是忌邪的 神,他名为忌邪者。 15 恐怕你与那地的居民立约,他们随从自己的神行邪淫,给自己的神献祭的时候,有人叫你,你就吃他的祭物; 16 又恐怕你给你的儿子娶他们的女儿为妻,他们的女儿随从自己的神行邪淫的时候,使你的儿子也随从她们的神行邪淫。 17 你不可为自己铸造神像。

18 “你要守除酵节,要照着我吩咐你的,在亚笔月内所定的时期吃无酵饼七天,因为你是在亚笔月从埃及出来的。 19 凡是头胎的都是我的;你的牲畜中,无论是牛或羊,凡是公的和头生的,都是我的。 20 头生的驴,你要用羊代赎,如果不代赎,就要打断牠的颈项。你所有头胎的儿子,你都要代赎出来。没有人可以空手见我。

21 “你六日要工作,但第七天你要休息,在耕种和收割的时候,也要休息。 22 在收割初熟麦子的时候,你要守七七节;在年底,你要过收藏节。 23 你所有的男子,都要一年三次去见主耶和华以色列的 神。 24 我要把列国从你面前赶出去,扩张你的境界;你一年三次上去面见耶和华你的 神的时候,必没有人贪图你的地。

25 “你不可把我祭物的血和有酵的饼一同献上,逾越节的祭物也不可留到早晨。 26 你要把你地里最早生产的初熟之物送到耶和华你的 神的殿里。不可用羊羔母的奶去煮羊羔。”

27 耶和华对摩西说:“你要把这些话写上,因为我是按着这些话与你和以色列人立约的。” 28 摩西在那里与耶和华在一起共四十昼夜,不吃饭,也不喝水。他把这约的话写在两块版上,这就是十诫。

摩西从山上下来

29 摩西从西奈山下来的时候,手里拿着两块法版;摩西从山上下来的时候,不知道自己的脸皮因为与耶和华谈过话而发光。 30 亚伦和全体以色列人看见了摩西,见他脸上发光,就害怕接近他。 31 摩西叫他们过来,于是,亚伦和会众中所有的首领才回到摩西那里去,摩西就与他们谈话。 32 以后,全体以色列人都近前来,摩西就把耶和华在西奈山上与他所说的一切话都吩咐他们。 33 摩西和他们说完了话,就用帕子蒙上自己的脸。 34 每逢摩西进到耶和华面前与他谈话的时候,就把帕子揭去,直到他出来。他出来了,就把耶和华吩咐他的对以色列人说。 35 以色列人看见摩西的脸,见他的脸皮发光。摩西再用帕子蒙上自己的脸,直到他进去和耶和华说话为止。

新的約版

34 耶和華對摩西說:「你要鑿出兩塊石版,跟你之前摔碎的兩塊一樣,我要把前兩塊石版上的字刻在上面。 你要預備好,明天清早你要上西奈山頂來見我。 誰也不可與你同來,整座山上都不可有人,就是牛羊也不得在山前吃草。」 於是,摩西鑿出兩塊石版,跟先前的兩塊一樣。他清早起來,照著耶和華的吩咐把石版帶到西奈山上。 耶和華在雲中降臨和摩西一同站在那裡,宣告祂的名——耶和華。 耶和華在摩西面前經過,並且宣告說:「我是耶和華,我是耶和華,是有憐憫和恩典的上帝,不輕易發怒,充滿慈愛,無比信實, 向千萬人彰顯慈愛,赦免罪惡和過犯,但決不免除罪責,必向子孫追討父輩的罪債,直到三四代。」 摩西急忙俯伏在地上敬拜, 說:「主啊,如果我在你面前蒙了恩,求你與我們同行。雖然百姓頑固不化,求你赦免我們的過犯和罪惡,接納我們做你的子民。」

10 耶和華說:「我要與你立約,我要在你的同胞面前行奇事,是天下萬國從未有過的奇事,你周圍的外族人必看見我為你做的偉大而可畏的事。 11 你要遵行我今天的吩咐。我必從你面前驅逐亞摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人。 12 你要謹慎,到了目的地後,不可與當地的居民立約,免得因此而陷入網羅。 13 相反,要拆掉他們的祭壇,打碎他們的神柱,砍掉他們的亞舍拉神像。 14 不可拜別的神明,因為耶和華是痛恨不貞的上帝,祂名為『痛恨不貞』。

15 「不可與當地的居民立約,免得他們與自己的神明苟合時邀請你,你就吃他們的祭物, 16 給兒子娶他們的女兒為妻,以致她們與自己的神明苟合時誘使你的兒子犯同樣的罪。

17 「不可為自己鑄造神像。

18 「要守除酵節,照我的吩咐在亞筆月所定的時間吃七天的無酵餅,因為你是在亞筆月離開埃及的。

19 「凡是頭胎生的兒子都屬於我,包括牲畜中一切頭胎生的公牛和公羊。 20 頭胎生的驢要用羊贖回,如果不用羊贖回,就要打斷牠的脖子。凡頭胎生的男嬰,都要贖回他的性命。誰也不可空手來朝見我。

21 「一週工作六天,第七天要休息,就是耕種和收割時也要休息。

22 「在收割初熟麥子的時候,要守七七收割節,年底要守收藏節。 23 所有的男子都要一年三次來朝見主耶和華——以色列的上帝。 24 我要從你面前趕走外族人,擴張你的領土。你一年三次來朝見你的上帝耶和華時,必沒有人貪戀你的土地。

25 「不可把祭牲的血和有酵的餅一起獻給我。逾越節的祭物也不可留到第二天早晨。

26 「要把田中最好的初熟之物送到你們的上帝耶和華的殿中。

「不可用母山羊的奶煮牠的小羊羔。」

27 耶和華又對摩西說:「你要把我說的這些話記錄下來,因為我要按這些話跟你和以色列人立約。」 28 摩西在耶和華那裡待了四十晝夜,沒吃也沒喝。耶和華把約的內容,就是十條誡命,寫在石版上。

29 摩西手裡拿著兩塊約版下西奈山,他不知道自己因為曾與耶和華說話而臉上發光。 30 亞倫和所有的以色列百姓看見摩西臉上發光,都不敢走近他。 31 摩西召他們過來,亞倫和會眾的首領便上前來。摩西與他們說話。 32 之後,所有的以色列人都來到他面前,他就把耶和華在西奈山上的吩咐都告訴他們。 33 說完之後,他就用帕子遮住自己的臉。 34 每當進到會幕跟耶和華說話時,他就揭開帕子,出來後便把耶和華的吩咐告訴以色列百姓。 35 百姓會看到他臉上發光,於是他再用帕子遮住臉,直到下次與耶和華說話的時候才揭開。

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) Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(D) Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 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.”

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) Then the Lord came down in the cloud(H) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(I) 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) 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)

Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. “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.

Footnotes

  1. Exodus 34:13 That is, wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah
  2. Exodus 34:22 That is, in the autumn

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.

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.

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.

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.

And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.

And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

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.

And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

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.

重做法版(A)

34 耶和华对摩西说:“你要凿出两块石版,好象先前的一样,我要把先前写在你摔碎了的石版上的字写在这两块石版上。 早晨之前,你要预备好了;到早晨的时候,你要上到西奈山来,在山顶上站在我面前。 谁也不准同你一起上来,整个山都不准有人出现,也不准牛羊在这山前吃草。” 摩西就凿了两块石版,好象先前的一样。他一早起来,照着耶和华吩咐他的,上到西奈山去,手里拿着两块石版。 耶和华在云彩中降下来,与摩西一同站在那里,并且宣告耶和华的名字。 耶和华在摩西面前经过,并且宣告说:“耶和华,耶和华,是有怜悯有恩典的 神,不轻易发怒,并且有丰盛的慈爱和诚实, 为千千万万人留下慈爱,赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶。一定要清除罪,追讨罪孽自父及子至孙,直到三四代。” 摩西急忙俯首在地敬拜, 说:“主啊,我若是在你眼前蒙恩,求我主与我们同行,因为这是硬着颈项的人民。又求你赦免我们的罪孽和我们的罪恶,把我们当作你的产业。”

重新立约(B)

10 耶和华说:“看哪,我要立约,我要在你全体的人民面前作奇妙的事,是在全地万国中没有行过的。在你四周的万民都必看见耶和华的作为,因为我向你所行的是可畏惧的事。 11 我今天吩咐你的,你务要遵守。看哪,我要把亚摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人,从你面前赶逐出去。 12 你要小心,不可与你所去的那地的居民立约,恐怕这事在你中间成为陷阱。 13 他们的祭坛你们却要拆毁,他们的柱像你们要打碎,他们的亚舍拉你们要砍下。 14 你不可敬拜别的神,因为耶和华是忌邪的 神,他名为忌邪者。 15 恐怕你与那地的居民立约,他们随从自己的神行邪淫,给自己的神献祭的时候,有人叫你,你就吃他的祭物; 16 又恐怕你给你的儿子娶他们的女儿为妻,他们的女儿随从自己的神行邪淫的时候,使你的儿子也随从她们的神行邪淫。 17 你不可为自己铸造神像。

18 “你要守除酵节,要照着我吩咐你的,在亚笔月内所定的时期吃无酵饼七天,因为你是在亚笔月从埃及出来的。 19 凡是头胎的都是我的;你的牲畜中,无论是牛或羊,凡是公的和头生的,都是我的。 20 头生的驴,你要用羊代赎,如果不代赎,就要打断牠的颈项。你所有头胎的儿子,你都要代赎出来。没有人可以空手见我。

21 “你六日要工作,但第七天你要休息,在耕种和收割的时候,也要休息。 22 在收割初熟麦子的时候,你要守七七节;在年底,你要过收藏节。 23 你所有的男子,都要一年三次去见主耶和华以色列的 神。 24 我要把列国从你面前赶出去,扩张你的境界;你一年三次上去面见耶和华你的 神的时候,必没有人贪图你的地。

25 “你不可把我祭物的血和有酵的饼一同献上,逾越节的祭物也不可留到早晨。 26 你要把你地里最早生产的初熟之物送到耶和华你的 神的殿里。不可用羊羔母的奶去煮羊羔。”

27 耶和华对摩西说:“你要把这些话写上,因为我是按着这些话与你和以色列人立约的。” 28 摩西在那里与耶和华在一起共四十昼夜,不吃饭,也不喝水。他把这约的话写在两块版上,这就是十诫。

摩西从山上下来

29 摩西从西奈山下来的时候,手里拿着两块法版;摩西从山上下来的时候,不知道自己的脸皮因为与耶和华谈过话而发光。 30 亚伦和全体以色列人看见了摩西,见他脸上发光,就害怕接近他。 31 摩西叫他们过来,于是,亚伦和会众中所有的首领才回到摩西那里去,摩西就与他们谈话。 32 以后,全体以色列人都近前来,摩西就把耶和华在西奈山上与他所说的一切话都吩咐他们。 33 摩西和他们说完了话,就用帕子蒙上自己的脸。 34 每逢摩西进到耶和华面前与他谈话的时候,就把帕子揭去,直到他出来。他出来了,就把耶和华吩咐他的对以色列人说。 35 以色列人看见摩西的脸,见他的脸皮发光。摩西再用帕子蒙上自己的脸,直到他进去和耶和华说话为止。

新的約版

34 耶和華對摩西說:「你要鑿出兩塊石版,跟你之前摔碎的兩塊一樣,我要把前兩塊石版上的字刻在上面。 你要預備好,明天清早你要上西奈山頂來見我。 誰也不可與你同來,整座山上都不可有人,就是牛羊也不得在山前吃草。」 於是,摩西鑿出兩塊石版,跟先前的兩塊一樣。他清早起來,照著耶和華的吩咐把石版帶到西奈山上。 耶和華在雲中降臨和摩西一同站在那裡,宣告祂的名——耶和華。 耶和華在摩西面前經過,並且宣告說:「我是耶和華,我是耶和華,是有憐憫和恩典的上帝,不輕易發怒,充滿慈愛,無比信實, 向千萬人彰顯慈愛,赦免罪惡和過犯,但決不免除罪責,必向子孫追討父輩的罪債,直到三四代。」 摩西急忙俯伏在地上敬拜, 說:「主啊,如果我在你面前蒙了恩,求你與我們同行。雖然百姓頑固不化,求你赦免我們的過犯和罪惡,接納我們做你的子民。」

10 耶和華說:「我要與你立約,我要在你的同胞面前行奇事,是天下萬國從未有過的奇事,你周圍的外族人必看見我為你做的偉大而可畏的事。 11 你要遵行我今天的吩咐。我必從你面前驅逐亞摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人。 12 你要謹慎,到了目的地後,不可與當地的居民立約,免得因此而陷入網羅。 13 相反,要拆掉他們的祭壇,打碎他們的神柱,砍掉他們的亞舍拉神像。 14 不可拜別的神明,因為耶和華是痛恨不貞的上帝,祂名為『痛恨不貞』。

15 「不可與當地的居民立約,免得他們與自己的神明苟合時邀請你,你就吃他們的祭物, 16 給兒子娶他們的女兒為妻,以致她們與自己的神明苟合時誘使你的兒子犯同樣的罪。

17 「不可為自己鑄造神像。

18 「要守除酵節,照我的吩咐在亞筆月所定的時間吃七天的無酵餅,因為你是在亞筆月離開埃及的。

19 「凡是頭胎生的兒子都屬於我,包括牲畜中一切頭胎生的公牛和公羊。 20 頭胎生的驢要用羊贖回,如果不用羊贖回,就要打斷牠的脖子。凡頭胎生的男嬰,都要贖回他的性命。誰也不可空手來朝見我。

21 「一週工作六天,第七天要休息,就是耕種和收割時也要休息。

22 「在收割初熟麥子的時候,要守七七收割節,年底要守收藏節。 23 所有的男子都要一年三次來朝見主耶和華——以色列的上帝。 24 我要從你面前趕走外族人,擴張你的領土。你一年三次來朝見你的上帝耶和華時,必沒有人貪戀你的土地。

25 「不可把祭牲的血和有酵的餅一起獻給我。逾越節的祭物也不可留到第二天早晨。

26 「要把田中最好的初熟之物送到你們的上帝耶和華的殿中。

「不可用母山羊的奶煮牠的小羊羔。」

27 耶和華又對摩西說:「你要把我說的這些話記錄下來,因為我要按這些話跟你和以色列人立約。」 28 摩西在耶和華那裡待了四十晝夜,沒吃也沒喝。耶和華把約的內容,就是十條誡命,寫在石版上。

29 摩西手裡拿著兩塊約版下西奈山,他不知道自己因為曾與耶和華說話而臉上發光。 30 亞倫和所有的以色列百姓看見摩西臉上發光,都不敢走近他。 31 摩西召他們過來,亞倫和會眾的首領便上前來。摩西與他們說話。 32 之後,所有的以色列人都來到他面前,他就把耶和華在西奈山上的吩咐都告訴他們。 33 說完之後,他就用帕子遮住自己的臉。 34 每當進到會幕跟耶和華說話時,他就揭開帕子,出來後便把耶和華的吩咐告訴以色列百姓。 35 百姓會看到他臉上發光,於是他再用帕子遮住臉,直到下次與耶和華說話的時候才揭開。

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) Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(D) Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 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.”

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) Then the Lord came down in the cloud(H) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(I) 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) 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)

Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. “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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.

And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

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.

And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

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.
