The Skilled Craftsmen
31 (A)Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel, the (B)son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have (C)filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of [a]craftsmanship, 4 to create [b]artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in [c]bronze, 5 and in the cutting of stones [d]for settings, and in the carving of wood, so that he may work in all kinds of [e]craftsmanship. 6 And behold, I Myself have [f]appointed with him (D)Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are [g]skillful I have put [h]skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you: 7 (E)the tent of meeting, (F)the ark of testimony, (G)the [i]atoning cover that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent, 8 (H)the table and its [j]utensils, the (I)pure gold lampstand with all its [k]utensils, and (J)the altar of incense, 9 (K)the altar of burnt offering with all its [l]utensils, and (L)the basin and its stand, 10 the [m](M)woven garments as well: the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, with which to [n]carry out their priesthood; 11 (N)the anointing oil also, and the (O)fragrant incense for the Holy Place, they are to make them according to everything that I have commanded you.”
The Sign of the Sabbath
12 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘(P)You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is (Q)a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. 14 Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. (R)Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 (S)For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a (T)Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; (U)whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16 So the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to [o]celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.’ 17 (V)It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; (W)for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”
18 When He had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses (X)the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, (Y)written by the finger of God.
The Golden Calf
32 Now when the people saw that Moses (Z)delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled around Aaron and said to him, “Come, (AA)make us [p]a god who will go before us; for (AB)this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt—we do not know what happened to him.” 2 Aaron said to them, “(AC)Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. 4 Then he took the gold from their [q]hands, and fashioned it with an engraving tool and made it into a (AD)cast metal calf; and they said, “[r]This is your god, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” 5 Now when Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of it; and Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord.” 6 So the next day they got up early and (AE)offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and (AF)the people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up (AG)to engage in lewd behavior.
7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go [s]down at once, for your people, whom (AH)you brought up from the land of Egypt, have (AI)behaved corruptly. 8 They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. (AJ)They have made for themselves a cast metal calf, and have worshiped it and (AK)have sacrificed to it and said, ‘[t](AL)This is your god, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!’” 9 (AM)Then the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, they are [u](AN)an obstinate people. 10 So now (AO)leave Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and (AP)I will make of you a great nation.”
Moses’ Plea
11 Then (AQ)Moses pleaded with the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, why does Your anger burn against Your people whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should (AR)the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘With evil motives He brought them out, to kill them on the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your burning anger and relent of doing harm to Your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You (AS)swore by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I will (AT)multiply your [v]descendants as the stars of the heavens, and (AU)all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your [w]descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14 (AV)So the Lord relented of the harm which He said He would do to His people.
15 (AW)Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, (AX)tablets which were written on both [x]sides; they were written on one side and the other. 16 The tablets were God’s work, and the writing was God’s writing engraved on the tablets. 17 Now when Joshua heard the sound of the people [y]as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a sound of war in the camp.” 18 But he said,
“It is not the sound of the cry of victory,
Nor is it the sound of the cry of defeat;
But I hear the sound of singing.”
Moses’ Anger
19 And it came about, as soon as [z]Moses approached the camp, that (AY)he saw the calf and the people dancing; and Moses’ anger burned, and (AZ)he threw the tablets from his hands and shattered them to pieces [aa]at the foot of the mountain. 20 Then (BA)he took the calf which they had made and completely burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it over the surface of the water and made the sons of Israel drink it.
21 Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin upon them?” 22 And Aaron said, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you know the people yourself, (BB)that they are [ab]prone to evil. 23 For (BC)they said to me, ‘Make [ac]a god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt—we do not know what happened to him.’ 24 So I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them tear it off.’ Then they gave it to me, and (BD)I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 Now when Moses saw that the people were [ad]out of control—for Aaron had (BE)let them [ae]get out of control to the point of being an object of ridicule among [af]their enemies— 26 Moses then stood at the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him. 27 And he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘Every man of you put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his [ag]neighbor.’” 28 So (BF)the sons of Levi did [ah]as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day. 29 Then Moses said, “[ai]Dedicate yourselves today to the Lord—for every man has been against his son and against his brother—in order that He may bestow a blessing upon you today.”
30 And on the next day Moses said to the people, “(BG)You yourselves have [aj]committed a great sin; and now I am going up to the Lord; perhaps I can (BH)make atonement for your sin.” 31 Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Oh, this people has [ak]committed a great sin, and they have made a (BI)god of gold for themselves! 32 But now, if You will forgive their sin, very well; but if not, please wipe me out from Your (BJ)book which You have written!” 33 However, the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, (BK)I will wipe him out of My book. 34 But go now, lead the people (BL)where I told you. Behold, (BM)My angel shall go before you; nevertheless (BN)on the day when I [al]punish, (BO)I will [am]punish them for their sin.” 35 (BP)Then the Lord struck the people with a plague, because of (BQ)what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.
The Journey Resumed
33 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which (BR)I swore to Abraham, (BS)Isaac, and (BT)Jacob, saying, ‘(BU)To your [an]descendants I will give it.’ 2 And I will send (BV)an angel before you and (BW)I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 3 Go up to a land (BX)flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are [ao](BY)an obstinate people, and (BZ)I might destroy you on the way.”
4 When the people heard this [ap]sad word, (CA)they went into mourning, and none of them put on his jewelry. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are [aq](CB)an obstinate people; if I [ar]were to go up in your midst for just one moment, I would destroy you. So now, take off your [as]jewelry that I may know what I shall do to you.’” 6 So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry, from Mount Horeb onward.
7 Now Moses used to take (CC)the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And (CD)everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp. 8 And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent. 9 Whenever Moses entered the tent, (CE)the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; (CF)and [at]the Lord would speak with Moses. 10 When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would stand and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. 11 So (CG)the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When [au]Moses returned to the camp, (CH)his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Moses Intercedes
12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘(CI)Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know (CJ)whom You will send with me. (CK)Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’ 13 Now then, if I have found favor in Your sight in any way, please (CL)let me know Your ways so that I may know You, in order that I may find favor in Your sight. (CM)Consider too, that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “(CN)My presence shall go with you, and (CO)I will give you rest.” 15 Then he said to Him, “(CP)If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here. 16 For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that (CQ)we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are on the face of the [av]earth?”
17 The Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; (CR)for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.” 18 (CS)Then Moses said, “Please, show me Your glory!” 19 And He said, “(CT)I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and (CU)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.” 20 He further said, “You cannot see My face, (CV)for mankind shall not see Me and live!” 21 Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place [aw]by Me, and (CW)you shall stand there on the rock; 22 and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and (CX)cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but (CY)My face shall not be seen.”
The Two Tablets Replaced
34 Now the Lord said to Moses, “Cut out for yourself (CZ)two stone tablets like the former ones, and (DA)I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you smashed. 2 So be ready by morning, and come up in the morning to (DB)Mount Sinai, and [ax]present yourself there to Me on the top of the mountain. 3 And (DC)no one is to come up with you, nor let anyone be seen [ay]anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds are not to graze in front of that mountain.” 4 So he cut out (DD)two stone tablets like the former ones, and Moses got up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and he took the two stone tablets in his hand. 5 And (DE)the Lord descended in the cloud and stood there with him as he [az]called upon the name of the Lord. 6 Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, (DF)compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in faithfulness and [ba]truth; 7 who (DG)keeps faithfulness for thousands, who forgives wrongdoing, violation of His Law, and sin; yet He (DH)will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, (DI)inflicting the [bb]punishment of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” 8 And Moses hurried [bc](DJ)to bow low toward the ground and worship. 9 Then he said, “(DK)If in any way I have found favor in Your sight, Lord, please may the Lord go along in our midst, even though [bd](DL)the people are so obstinate, and (DM)pardon our wrongdoing and our sin, and (DN)take us as Your own [be]possession.”
The Covenant Renewed
10 Then [bf]God said, “Behold, (DO)I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people (DP)I will perform miracles which have not been [bg]produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people [bh]among whom you live will see the working of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.
11 “[bi]Be sure to comply with what I am commanding you this day: behold, (DQ)I am going to drive out the Amorite from you, and the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 12 (DR)Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst. 13 (DS)But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their memorial stones, and cut down their [bj](DT)Asherim 14 —for (DU)you shall not worship any other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— 15 otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they would prostitute themselves with their gods and (DV)sacrifice to their gods, and someone (DW)might invite you [bk]to eat of his sacrifice, 16 and (DX)you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might prostitute themselves with their gods and cause your sons also to prostitute themselves with their gods. 17 (DY)You shall not make for yourself any gods cast in metal.
18 “You shall keep (DZ)the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For (EA)seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, [bl]as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the (EB)month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 “(EC)The [bm]firstborn from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the [bn]firstborn from [bo]cattle and sheep. 20 (ED)You shall redeem with a lamb the firstborn from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem (EE)all the firstborn of your sons. [bp](EF)None are to appear before Me empty-handed.
21 “You shall work (EG)six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. 22 And you shall celebrate (EH)the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 (EI)Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord [bq]God, the God of Israel. 24 For I will [br](EJ)drive out nations from you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 “(EK)You shall not [bs]offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, (EL)nor is the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover to [bt]be left over until morning.
26 “You shall bring (EM)the very first of the first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God.
“You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(EN)Write [bu]down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made (EO)a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 So he was there with the Lord for (EP)forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And [bv](EQ)He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, (ER)the Ten [bw]Commandments.
Moses’ Face Shines
29 And it came about, when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the (ES)two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that (ET)the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. 30 So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and (EU)they were afraid to approach him. 31 Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the Lord had spoken [bx]to him on Mount Sinai. 33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, (EV)he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, (EW)he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded, 35 (EX)the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Him.

New International Version
Bezalel and Oholiab(A)
31 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel(B) son of Uri, the son of Hur,(C) of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge(D) and with all kinds of skills(E)— 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. 6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab(F) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan,(G) to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers(H) to make everything I have commanded you: 7 the tent of meeting,(I) the ark of the covenant law(J) with the atonement cover(K) on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— 8 the table(L) and its articles, the pure gold lampstand(M) and all its accessories, the altar of incense,(N) 9 the altar of burnt offering(O) and all its utensils, the basin(P) with its stand— 10 and also the woven garments(Q), both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11 and the anointing oil(R) and fragrant incense(S) for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded(T) you.”
The Sabbath
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths.(U) This will be a sign(V) between me and you for the generations to come,(W) so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.(X)
14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death;(Y) those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work(Z) is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest,(AA) holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,(AB) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign(AC) between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.(AD)’”(AE)
18 When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai,(AF) he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone(AG) inscribed by the finger of God.(AH)
The Golden Calf
32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain,(AI) they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[a] who will go before(AJ) us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.”(AK)
2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings(AL) that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol(AM) cast in the shape of a calf,(AN) fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[b](AO) Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”(AP)
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival(AQ) to the Lord.” 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.(AR) Afterward they sat down to eat and drink(AS) and got up to indulge in revelry.(AT)
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt,(AU) have become corrupt.(AV) 8 They have been quick to turn away(AW) from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol(AX) cast in the shape of a calf.(AY) They have bowed down to it and sacrificed(AZ) to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’(BA)
9 “I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked(BB) people. 10 Now leave me alone(BC) so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy(BD) them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”(BE)
11 But Moses sought the favor(BF) of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?(BG) 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’?(BH) Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster(BI) on your people. 13 Remember(BJ) your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self:(BK) ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars(BL) in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land(BM) I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” 14 Then the Lord relented(BN) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.
15 Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law(BO) in his hands.(BP) They were inscribed(BQ) on both sides, front and back. 16 The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.(BR)
17 When Joshua(BS) heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”
18 Moses replied:
“It is not the sound of victory,
it is not the sound of defeat;
it is the sound of singing that I hear.”
19 When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf(BT) and the dancing,(BU) his anger burned(BV) and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces(BW) at the foot of the mountain. 20 And he took the calf the people had made and burned(BX) it in the fire; then he ground it to powder,(BY) scattered it on the water(BZ) and made the Israelites drink it.
21 He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”
22 “Do not be angry,(CA) my lord,” Aaron answered. “You know how prone these people are to evil.(CB) 23 They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.’(CC) 24 So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!”(CD)
25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock(CE) to their enemies. 26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.
27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’”(CF) 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. 29 Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”
30 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin.(CG) But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement(CH) for your sin.”
31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed!(CI) They have made themselves gods of gold.(CJ) 32 But now, please forgive their sin(CK)—but if not, then blot me(CL) out of the book(CM) you have written.”
33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out(CN) of my book. 34 Now go, lead(CO) the people to the place(CP) I spoke of, and my angel(CQ) will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish,(CR) I will punish them for their sin.”
35 And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf(CS) Aaron had made.
33 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath(CT) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’(CU) 2 I will send an angel(CV) before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(CW) 3 Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.(CX) But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked(CY) people and I might destroy(CZ) you on the way.”
4 When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn(DA) and no one put on any ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people.(DB) If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy(DC) you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” 6 So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.(DD)
The Tent of Meeting
7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”(DE) Anyone inquiring(DF) of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents,(DG) watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud(DH) would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke(DI) with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent.(DJ) 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,(DK) as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua(DL) son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Moses and the Glory of the Lord
12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’(DM) but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name(DN) and you have found favor(DO) with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways(DP) so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”(DQ)
14 The Lord replied, “My Presence(DR) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(DS)
15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence(DT) does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us?(DU) What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”(DV)
17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,(DW) because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”(DX)
18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”(DY)
19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(DZ) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(EA) the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.(EB) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(EC) me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock(ED) and cover you with my hand(EE) until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
The New Stone Tablets
34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones,(EF) and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,(EG) which you broke.(EH) 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(EI) 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;(EJ) not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
4 So Moses chiseled(EK) 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.(EL) 5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud(EM) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(EN) 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate(EO) and gracious God, slow to anger,(EP) abounding in love(EQ) and faithfulness,(ER) 7 maintaining love to thousands,(ES) and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.(ET) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;(EU) he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”(EV)
8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor(EW) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.(EX) Although this is a stiff-necked(EY) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,(EZ) and take us as your inheritance.”(FA)
10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant(FB) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders(FC) never before done in any nation in all the world.(FD) 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(FE) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(FF) 12 Be careful not to make a treaty(FG) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare(FH) among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[c](FI) 14 Do not worship any other god,(FJ) for the Lord, whose name(FK) is Jealous, is a jealous God.(FL)
15 “Be careful not to make a treaty(FM) with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute(FN) themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.(FO) 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives(FP) for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,(FQ) they will lead your sons to do the same.
17 “Do not make any idols.(FR)
18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(FS) For seven days eat bread made without yeast,(FT) as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(FU) for in that month you came out of Egypt.
19 “The first offspring(FV) 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.(FW) Redeem all your firstborn sons.(FX)
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(FY)
21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;(FZ) even during the plowing season and harvest(GA) you must rest.
22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits(GB) of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering(GC) at the turn of the year.[d] 23 Three times(GD) a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations(GE) before you and enlarge your territory,(GF) 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,(GG) and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.(GH)
26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(GI) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.
“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”(GJ)
27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(GK) down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant(GL) with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights(GM) without eating bread or drinking water.(GN) And he wrote on the tablets(GO) the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.(GP)
The Radiant Face of Moses
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai(GQ) with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands,(GR) he was not aware that his face was radiant(GS) 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(GT) came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands(GU) the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil(GV) 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.(GW) Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.
