Exodus 34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Moses Makes New Tablets
34 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut two tablets of stone like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets, which you broke.(A) 2 Be ready in the morning and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.(B) 3 No one shall come up with you, and do not let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain, and do not let flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain.”(C) 4 So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the former ones, and he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tablets of stone. 5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name, “The Lord.”[a](D) 6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed,
“The Lord, the Lord,
a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger,
and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,(E)
7 keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation,[b]
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
yet by no means clearing the guilty,
but visiting the iniquity of the parents
upon the children
and the children’s children
to the third and the fourth generation.”(F)
8 And Moses quickly bowed down to the ground and worshiped.(G) 9 He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, my Lord, I pray, let my Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”(H)
The Covenant Renewed
10 He said, “I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform marvels, such as have not been done[c] in all the earth or in any nation, and all the people among whom you live shall see the work of the Lord, for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.(I)
11 “Observe what I command you today. See, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.(J) 12 Take care not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, or it will become a snare among you.(K) 13 Rather, you shall tear down their altars, break their pillars, and cut down their sacred poles,[d](L) 14 for you shall worship no other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.(M) 15 You shall not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods, someone among them will invite you, and you will eat of the sacrifice,(N) 16 and you will take wives from among their daughters for your sons, and their daughters who prostitute themselves to their gods will make your sons also prostitute themselves to their gods.(O)
17 “You shall not make cast idols.(P)
18 “You shall keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.(Q)
19 “All that first opens the womb is mine, all your male[e] livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep.(R) 20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem.
“No one shall appear before me empty-handed.(S)
21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in plowing time and in harvest time you shall rest.(T) 22 You shall observe the Festival of Weeks, the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.(U) 23 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.(V) 24 For I will cast out nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one shall covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.
25 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, and the sacrifice of the festival of the Passover shall not be left until the morning.(W)
26 “The best of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God.
“You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”(X)
27 The Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”(Y) 28 He was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.[f](Z)
The Shining Face of Moses
29 Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.(AA) 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.(AB) 33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face,(AC) 34 but whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he would take the veil off until he came out, and when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded,(AD) 35 the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining, and Moses would put the veil on his face again until he went in to speak with him.
2 Mooseksen 34
Raamattu 1933/38
34 Ja Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Veistä itsellesi kaksi kivitaulua, entisten kaltaista, niin minä kirjoitan niihin tauluihin ne sanat, jotka olivat entisissä tauluissa, jotka sinä murskasit.
2 Ole siis huomenaamuksi valmis; ja nouse huomenaamuna Siinain vuorelle ja seiso siellä minua vastassa vuoren huipulla.
3 Mutta älköön kukaan nousko sinne sinun kanssasi, älköönkä ketään näkykö koko vuorella; lampaitakaan ja karjaa älköön käykö laitumella vuoren vaiheilla."
4 Ja Mooses veisti kaksi kivitaulua, entisten kaltaista. Ja varhain seuraavana aamuna Mooses nousi Siinain vuorelle, niinkuin Herra oli häntä käskenyt, ja otti ne kaksi kivitaulua käteensä.
5 Niin Herra astui alas pilvessä, ja Mooses asettui siellä hänen läheisyyteensä ja huusi Herran nimeä.
6 Ja Herra kulki hänen ohitsensa ja huusi: "Herra, Herra on laupias ja armahtavainen Jumala, pitkämielinen ja suuri armossa ja uskollisuudessa,
7 joka pysyy armollisena tuhansille, joka antaa anteeksi pahat teot, rikokset ja synnit, mutta ei kuitenkaan jätä rankaisematta, vaan kostaa isien pahat teot lapsille ja lasten lapsille kolmanteen ja neljänteen polveen".
8 Niin Mooses kumartui nopeasti maahan ja rukoili ja sanoi:
9 "Herra, jos olen saanut armon sinun silmiesi edessä, niin käyköön Herra meidän keskellämme. Sillä tämä on tosin niskurikansa, mutta anna anteeksi meidän pahat tekomme ja syntimme ja ota meidät perintöosaksesi."
10 Hän vastasi: "Katso, minä teen liiton, minä teen kaiken sinun kansasi nähden ihmeellisiä tekoja, joiden kaltaisia ei ole tehty yhdessäkään maassa, ei minkään kansan keskuudessa. Niin koko kansa, jonka keskellä sinä olet, on näkevä Herran teot, sillä peljättävää on se, mitä minä sinulle teen.
11 Noudata, mitä minä tänä päivänä käsken sinun noudattaa. Katso, minä karkoitan sinun tieltäsi amorilaiset, kanaanilaiset, heettiläiset, perissiläiset, hivviläiset ja jebusilaiset.
12 Kavahda, ettet tee liittoa sen maan asukasten kanssa, johon tulet, etteivät he tulisi teidän keskuudessanne ansaksi;
13 vaan kukistakaa heidän alttarinsa ja murskatkaa heidän patsaansa ja hakatkaa maahan heidän asera-karsikkonsa.
14 Älä kumarra muuta jumalaa; sillä Herra on nimeltänsä Kiivas, hän on kiivas Jumala.
15 Älä siis tee liittoa maan asukasten kanssa, ettet, kun he kulkevat haureudessa jumaliensa jäljessä ja uhraavat jumalillensa ja kutsuvat sinua, sinä söisi heidän uhristaan,
16 ja etteivät heidän tyttärensä, kun sinä otat heitä pojillesi vaimoiksi ja kun he kulkevat haureudessa jumaliensa jäljessä, viettelisi sinun poikiasikin haureudessa kulkemaan heidän jumaliensa jäljessä.
17 Älä tee itsellesi valettuja jumalankuvia.
18 Vietä happamattoman leivän juhlaa: seitsemänä päivänä syö happamatonta leipää, niinkuin minä olen sinua käskenyt, määrättynä aikana, aabib-kuussa, sillä aabib-kuussa sinä olet lähtenyt Egyptistä.
19 Kaikki, mikä avaa äidinkohdun, on minun; samoin myös kaikki sinun karjasi urospuolet, raavaittesi ja lampaittesi ensiksisynnyttämät.
20 Mutta aasin ensiksisynnyttämä lunasta lampaalla, mutta jos et sitä lunasta, niin taita siltä niska. Jokainen esikoinen pojistasi lunasta. Ja tyhjin käsin älköön tultako minun kasvojeni eteen.
21 Kuusi päivää tee työtä, mutta lepää seitsemäs päivä; kyntö- ja elonleikkuuaikanakin sinun on levättävä.
22 Ja vietä viikkojuhla, kun leikkaat nisusi uutisen, ja korjuujuhla vuoden vaihteessa.
23 Kolme kertaa vuodessa kaikki sinun miesväkesi tulkoon Herran, sinun Herrasi, Israelin Jumalan, kasvojen eteen.
24 Sillä minä karkoitan kansat sinun tieltäsi ja laajennan sinun alueesi; eikä kukaan ole himoitseva sinun maatasi, kun sinä kolme kertaa vuodessa vaellat tullaksesi Herran, sinun Jumalasi, kasvojen eteen.
25 Älä uhraa minun teurasuhrini verta happamen leivän ohella. Ja pääsiäisjuhlan uhrista älköön mitään jääkö yli yön seuraavaan aamuun.
26 Parhaat maasi uutisesta tuo Herran, sinun Jumalasi, huoneeseen. Älä keitä vohlaa emänsä maidossa."
27 Ja Herra sanoi Moosekselle: "Kirjoita itsellesi nämä sanat, sillä näiden sanojen mukaisesti minä olen tehnyt liiton sinun ja Israelin kanssa".
28 Ja hän oli siellä Herran tykönä neljäkymmentä päivää ja neljäkymmentä yötä syömättä ja juomatta. Ja hän kirjoitti tauluihin liiton sanat, ne kymmenen sanaa.
29 Ja kun Mooses astui alas Siinain vuorelta ja hänellä vuorelta alas astuessaan oli kädessänsä kaksi laintaulua, ei hän tiennyt, että hänen kasvojensa iho oli tullut säteileväksi hänen puhuessaan Herran kanssa.
30 Ja kun Aaron ja kaikki israelilaiset näkivät Mooseksen kasvojen ihon säteilevän, pelkäsivät he lähestyä häntä.
31 Mutta Mooses huusi heitä; niin Aaron ja kaikki kansan päämiehet kääntyivät takaisin hänen luokseen, ja Mooses puhui heille.
32 Sitten kaikki israelilaiset lähestyivät häntä, ja hän käski heidän noudattaa kaikkea, mitä Herra oli puhunut hänelle Siinain vuorella.
33 Ja kun Mooses oli lakannut puhumasta heidän kanssaan, pani hän peitteen kasvoillensa.
34 Mutta niin usein kuin hän meni Herran eteen puhuttelemaan häntä, poisti hän peitteen, siksi kunnes tuli ulos. Ja tultuaan ulos hän puhui israelilaisille, mitä hänen oli käsketty puhua.
35 Ja israelilaiset näkivät joka kerta Mooseksen kasvojen ihon säteilevän; ja Mooses veti peitteen kasvoillensa, siksi kunnes hän jälleen meni puhuttelemaan häntä.
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.
