The Covenant Renewed^(A)

¹⁰ And He said: “Behold, ^(B)I make a covenant. Before all your people I will ^(C)do ^[a]marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is ^(D)an awesome thing that I will do with you. ^11 (E)Observe what I command you this day. Behold, ^(F)I am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. ^12 (G)Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. ¹³ But you shall ^(H)destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and ^(I)cut down their wooden images ¹⁴ (for you shall worship ^(J)no other god, for the Lord, whose ^(K)name is Jealous, is a ^(L)jealous God), ¹⁵ lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they ^(M)play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them ^(N)invites you and you ^(O)eat of his sacrifice, ¹⁶ and you take of ^(P)his daughters for your sons, and his daughters ^(Q)play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.

^17 (R)“You shall make no molded gods for yourselves.

¹⁸ “The Feast of ^(S)Unleavened Bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Abib; for in the ^(T)month of Abib you came out from Egypt.

^19 (U)“All ^[b]that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep. ²⁰ But ^(V)the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem.

“And none shall appear before Me ^(W)empty-handed.

^21 (X)“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

²² “And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end.

^23 (Y)“Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ For I will ^(Z)cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man 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, ^(AA)nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning.

^26 (AB)“The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring to 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, “Write ^(AC)these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” ^28 (AD)So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And ^(AE)He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ^[c]Ten Commandments.
