Exodus 34 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Two Tablets Replaced

(Deu 10:1–5 )

Now the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Cut^H6458 out^H6458 for yourself two^H8147 stone^H68 tablets^H3871 like the former^H7223 ones^H7223, and I will write^H3789 on the tablets^H3871 the words^H1697 that were on the former^H7223 tablets^H3871 which^H834 you smashed^H7665.

Exo 34:2

Exo 34:2“So be ready by morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and [fn]present yourself there to Me on the top of the mountain.

Exo 34:3

Exo 34:3“And no one is to come up with you, nor let anyone be seen [fn]anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds are not to graze in front of that mountain.”

Exo 34:4

Exo 34:4So he cut out 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.

Exo 34:5

Exo 34:5And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood there with him as he [fn]called upon the name of the LORD.

Exo 34:6

Exo 34:6Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in faithfulness and [fn]truth;

Exo 34:7

Exo 34:7who keeps faithfulness for thousands, who forgives wrongdoing, violation of His Law, and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, inflicting the [fn]punishment of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

Exo 34:8

Exo 34:8And Moses hurried [fn]to bow low toward the ground and worship.

Exo 34:9

Exo 34:9Then he said, “If in any way I have found favor in Your sight, Lord, please may the Lord go along in our midst, even though [fn]the people are so obstinate, and pardon our wrongdoing and our sin, and take us as Your own [fn]possession.”

The Covenant Renewed

(Exo 23:14–19; Deu 7:1–6; 16:1–17 )

Exo 34:10

Then [fn]God said^H559, “Behold^H2009, I am going to make^H3772 a covenant^H1285. Before^H5048 all^H3605 your people^H5971 I will perform^H6213 miracles^H6381 which^H834 have not been [fn]produced^H1254 in all^H3605 the earth^H776 nor^H3808 among any^H3605 of the nations^H1471; and all^H3605 the people^H5971 [fn]among^H7130 whom^H834 you live will see^H7200 the working^H4639 of the LORD^H3068, for it is a fearful^H3372 thing^H3372 that I am going to perform^H6213 with you.

Exo 34:11

“[fn]Be sure to comply^H8104 with^H8104 what^H834 I am commanding^H6680 you this day^H3117: behold^H2009, I am going to drive^H1644 out^H1644 the Amorite^H567 from you, and the Canaanite^H3669, the Hittite^H2850, the Perizzite^H6522, the Hivite^H2340, and the Jebusite^H2983.

Exo 34:12

Exo 34:12“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.

Exo 34:13

Exo 34:13“But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their memorial stones, and cut down their [fn]Asherim

Exo 34:14

Exo 34:14—for you shall not worship any other god, because the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—

Exo 34:15

Exo 34:15otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they would prostitute themselves with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone might invite you [fn]to eat of his sacrifice,

Exo 34:16

Exo 34:16and 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.

Exo 34:17

Exo 34:17“You shall not make for yourself any gods cast in metal.

Exo 34:18

“You shall keep^H8104 the Feast^H2282 of Unleavened^H4682 Bread^H4682. For seven^H7651 days^H3117 you are to eat^H398 unleavened^H4682 bread^H4682, [fn]as I commanded^H6680 you, at the appointed^H4150 time^H4150 in the month^H2320 of Abib^H24; for in the month^H2320 of Abib^H24 you came^H3318 out^H3318 of Egypt^H4714.

Exo 34:19

“The [fn]firstborn^H1060 from every^H3605 womb^H7358 belongs to Me, and all^H3605 your male^H2145 livestock^H4735, the [fn]firstborn^H1060 from [fn]cattle^H7794 and sheep^H7716.

Exo 34:20

Exo 34:20“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 all the firstborn of your sons. [fn]None are to appear before Me empty-handed.

Exo 34:21

“You shall work^H5647 six^H8337 days^H3117, but on the seventh^H7637 day^H3117 you shall rest^H7673; even during plowing^H2758 time^H2758 and harvest^H7105 you shall rest^H7673.

Exo 34:22

Exo 34:22“And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

Exo 34:23

Exo 34:23“Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord [fn]GOD, the God of Israel.

Exo 34:24

Exo 34:24“For I will [fn]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.

Exo 34:25

“You shall not [fn]offer^H7819 the blood^H1818 of My sacrifice^H2077 with leavened^H2557 bread^H2557, nor^H3808 is the sacrifice^H2077 of the Feast^H2282 of the Passover^H6453 to [fn]be left^H3885 over^H3885 until morning^H1242.

Exo 34:26

“You shall bring^H935 the very first^H7225 of the first^H1061 fruits^H1061 of your soil^H127 into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430.

“You shall not boil^H1310 a young^H1423 goat^H1423 in its mother’s^H517 milk^H2461.”

Exo 34:27

Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Write^H3789 [fn]down^H3789 these^H428 words^H1697, for in^H5921 accordance^H5921^H6310 with^H5921 these^H428 words^H1697 I have made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with you and with Israel^H3478.”

Exo 34:28

Exo 34:28So he was there with the LORD for forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And [fn]He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten [fn]Commandments.

Moses’ Face Shines

Exo 34:29

And it came^H1961 about^H1961, when Moses^H4872 was coming^H3381 down^H3381 from Mount^H2022 Sinai^H5514 (and the two^H8147 tablets^H3871 of the testimony^H5715 were in Moses’^H4872 hand^H3027 as he was coming^H3381 down^H3381 from the mountain^H2022), that Moses^H4872 did not know^H3045 that the skin^H5785 of his face^H6440 shone^H7160 because of his speaking^H1696 with Him.

Exo 34:30

Exo 34:30So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to approach him.

Exo 34:31

Exo 34:31Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

Exo 34:32

Exo 34:32Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the LORD had spoken [fn]to him on Mount Sinai.

Exo 34:33

Exo 34:33When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

Exo 34:34

Exo 34:34But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, 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,

Exo 34:35

Exo 34:35the 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.
