Moses Makes New Tablets

¹And the Lord said to Moses, ⚓“Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and ⚓I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke. ²So be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there ⚓on the top of the mountain. ³And no man shall ⚓come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.”
⁴So he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
⁵Now the Lord descended in the ⚓cloud and stood with him there, and ⚓proclaimed the name of the Lord. ⁶And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord⚓God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in ⚓goodness and ⚓truth, ⁷⚓keeping mercy for thousands, ⚓forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, ⚓by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”
⁸So Moses made haste and ⚓bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. ⁹Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, ⚓let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a ⚓stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as ⚓Your inheritance.”

The Covenant Renewed

¹⁰And He said: “Behold, ⚓I make a covenant. Before all your people I will ⚓do 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⚓an awesome thing that I will do with you. ¹¹⚓Observe what I command you this day. Behold, ⚓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⚓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. ¹³But you shall ⚓destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and ⚓cut down their wooden images ¹⁴(for you shall worship ⚓no other god, for the Lord, whose ⚓name is Jealous, is a ⚓jealous God), ¹⁵lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they ⚓play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them⚓invites you and you ⚓eat of his sacrifice, ¹⁶and you take of ⚓his daughters for your sons, and his daughters ⚓play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.
¹⁷⚓“You shall make no molded gods for yourselves.
¹⁸“The Feast of ⚓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 month of Abib you came out from Egypt.
¹⁹⚓“All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep. ²⁰But ⚓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 ⚓empty-handed.
²¹⚓“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⚓“Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴For I will ⚓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, ⚓nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning.
²⁶⚓“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.”
²⁷Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write ⚓these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” ²⁸⚓So 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.

The Shining Face of Moses

²⁹Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the ⚓two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. ³⁰So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, ⚓the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. ³¹Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them. ³²Afterward all the children of Israel came near, ⚓and he gave them as commandments all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. ³³And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put ⚓a veil on his face. ³⁴But ⚓whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded. ³⁵And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.

復造法版

（申10．1－5）

¹耶和華對摩西說：「你要鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣；我要把你摔碎的那版上先前所寫的字，寫在這版上。 ²明日早晨，你要預備好了，上西奈山，在山頂那裏站在我面前。 ³誰也不可和你上去，整座山都不可見到人，也不可有羊羣牛羣在山下吃草。」 ⁴摩西就鑿出兩塊石版，和先前的一樣。他清晨起來，遵照耶和華吩咐他的，上西奈山去，手裏拿着兩塊石版。 ⁵耶和華在雲中降臨，與摩西一同站在那裏，宣告耶和華的名。 ⁶耶和華在他面前經過，宣告：
「耶和華，耶和華，
有憐憫，有恩惠的上帝，
不輕易發怒，
且有豐盛的慈愛和信實，
⁷為千代的人存留慈愛，
赦免罪孽、過犯和罪惡，
萬不以有罪的為無罪，
必懲罰人的罪，
自父及子，直到三、四代。」
⁸摩西急忙俯伏在地敬拜， ⁹說：「主啊，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求主在我們中間同行。雖然這是硬着頸項的百姓，求你赦免我們的罪孽和罪惡，接納我們為你的產業。」

重新立約

（出23．14－19；申7．1－5；16．1－17）

¹⁰耶和華說：「看哪，我要立約，要在你眾百姓面前行奇妙的事，是在全地萬國中未曾做過的。你周圍的萬民要看見我藉着你所行，耶和華可畏懼的作為。
¹¹「我今天所吩咐你的，你要謹守。看哪，我要從你面前趕出亞摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人。 ¹²你要謹慎，不可與你所要去那地的居民立約，免得他們成為你中間的圈套。 ¹³你要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，砍斷他們的亞舍拉。 ¹⁴不可敬拜別神，因為耶和華是忌邪⚓的上帝，他的名是忌邪者。 ¹⁵你不可與那地的居民立約，因為他們隨從自己的神明行淫；祭他們神明的時候，有人邀請你參加，你就會吃他的祭物。 ¹⁶你為你兒子娶他們的女兒為妻，他們的女兒因着隨從她們的神明行淫，就引誘你的兒子也隨從她們的神明行淫。
¹⁷「不可為自己鑄造神像。
¹⁸「你要守除酵節，照我所吩咐你的，在亞筆月內所定的日期吃無酵餅七天，因為你是在亞筆月內出了埃及。
¹⁹「凡頭生的都是我的；無論是牛是羊，一切頭生的公的牲畜都要分別出來⚓。 ²⁰頭生的驢可以用羔羊代贖。若不贖牠，就要打斷牠的頸項。凡頭生的兒子都要贖出來。沒有人可以空手來朝見我。
²¹「六日你要做工，第七日要安息，即使在耕種或收割的時候也要安息。 ²²在收割初熟麥子的時候要守七七節，又要在年底守收藏節。 ²³你所有的男丁要一年三次朝見主耶和華－以色列的上帝。 ²⁴我要從你面前趕走列國，擴張你的疆界。你一年三次上去朝見耶和華－你上帝的時候，必沒有人貪圖你的地。
²⁵「不可將我祭牲的血和有酵之物一同獻上。逾越節的祭牲也不可留到早晨。 ²⁶土地裏上好的初熟之物要奉到耶和華－你上帝的殿。不可用母山羊的奶來煮牠的小山羊。」
²⁷耶和華對摩西說：「你要將這些話寫上，因為我按這話與你和以色列人立約。」 ²⁸摩西在耶和華那裏四十晝夜，不吃飯不喝水。他把這約的話，那十條誡命⚓，寫在版上。

摩西下西奈山

²⁹摩西下西奈山。摩西從山上下來的時候，手裏拿着兩塊法版。摩西不知道自己臉上的皮膚因耶和華和他說話而發光。 ³⁰亞倫和以色列眾人看見摩西，看哪，他臉上的皮膚發光，他們就怕靠近他。 ³¹摩西叫他們來，亞倫和會眾的官長回到他那裏，摩西就跟他們說話。 ³²隨後以色列眾人都近前來，他就把耶和華在西奈山與他所說的一切話都吩咐他們。 ³³摩西跟他們說完了話，就用面紗蒙上臉。 ³⁴但摩西進到耶和華面前與他說話的時候，就把面紗揭下，直到出來。摩西出來，將所吩咐他的話告訴以色列人。 ³⁵以色列人看見摩西的臉，他臉上的皮膚發光。摩西就用面紗蒙上臉，直到他進去與耶和華說話才揭下。
