Exodus 34 ©

1 Moses is commanded to prepare new tables, and to go up again to the top of the mount. 4 The name of the Lord is there proclaimed before him. 8 Moses entreateth God to go with the people. 10 God maketh a covenant with them, in which he restraineth idolatry; and 18 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 25 repeateth certain duties before prescribed. 27 Moses continueth in the mount forty days, and by God's command writeth upon the tables the ten commandments. 29 On his return his face shineth, and he covereth it with a vail.
