Exodus 34:1-9, 27-28
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. 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.
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." 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. The LORD
descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name,
"The LORD." 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,
keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation,
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."
And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. He
said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, O LORD, I pray, let the
LORD go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, pardon our
iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance."
The LORD said to Moses: Write these words; in accordance with these words
I have made a covenant with you and with Israel. 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.
