Adonoy said to Moshe, “Carve out two stone tablets for yourself just like the first ones. And I will write upon these tablets the words which were on the first Tablets that you broke.

Be ready for the morning, and in the morning go up to Mount Sinai and stand there before Me on the top of the mountain.

No man shall go up with you, nor shall any man be seen on the entire mountain; even the sheep and cattle shall not graze before that mountain.”

He [Moshe] carved out two stone tablets just like the first ones. Moshe rose early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Adonoy had commanded him; and he took the two stone tablets in his hand.

Adonoy descended [became revealed] in a cloud and it stood with him there; and he [Moshe] called out [invoked] the Name, Adonoy.

Adonoy [made his Shechina pass] passed before him, and proclaimed: “Adonoy, Adonoy, Almighty, merciful and gracious, slow to [distancing] anger, and [making] abounding in kindness [goodness] and truth [abound].

He preserves kindness for thousands [of generations], bearing [forgiving] iniquity, transgression [rebellion] and sin. He clears [acquits the penitent] [forgives those who return to his Torah] and he does not clear [acquit the impenitent], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and [rebellious] children’s children, [even] upon the third and fourth [generation].”

Moshe hastened, bowed to the ground, and prostrated himself,

and said, “If I have found favor in Your eyes [before You] my Master, let [the Shechina of] my Master go among us; although it is a stiff-necked people, pardon our iniquity and our sins, and take us as Your own possession.”

And He said, “I hereby make a covenant; before all your people I will perform wonders such as have not been created in all the earth or for any nation; and all the people in whose midst you are, will see how awesome is the deed of Adonoy which I will perform for you.

Preserve for your own sake that which I command you today. I am driving out [from] before you the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Chitites, the Perizites, the Chivities, and the Yevusites.

For your own sake, be careful not to make a covenant with the people who live in the land to which you are coming, lest it be a trap in your midst.

Rather you must shatter their altars, break down their monuments, and cut down their asherah-trees.

For you must not prostrate yourselves to another god [false gods of the peoples], because Adonoy—Jealous is His Name—He is a Jealous Almighty [God].

[Take care] not to make a covenant with the people who live in the land, and go astray after their [false] gods [religions], and sacrifice to their [false] gods, [for he] will then call you and you will eat of his sacrifice.

You will [then] accept his daughters [as wives] for your sons. His daughters will stray after their [false] gods, and they will lead your sons to stray after their [false] gods.

You must not make molten gods for yourselves.

Preserve the Festival of Matzos. Eat matzos for seven days as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of ripening [grain]; for in the month of ripening [grain] you went out of Egypt.

All that opens the womb [the first-born] is Mine, and of all your livestock that is male [you shall sanctify], that open [the womb] [the first-born] both cattle and sheep.

The [first-born] donkey that opens the womb shall be redeemed with a sheep, and if it is not redeemed, you must break its neck. [You must] redeem all first-born of your sons, and you must not appear before Me empty-handed.

Six days you shall work but on the Seventh day you must cease; you must cease plowing [sowing] and harvesting.

Make the Festival of Shavuos, [with bringing] the first crops of the wheat harvest; [also] the Festival of the Harvest at the turn of the year.

Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Presence of the Master [of the world], Adonoy, God of Yisrael.

For I will drive out the nations before you, and I will expand your boundaries; and no man will covet your land when you go up to appear before Adonoy, your God, three times a year.

Do not slaughter [the Pesach-offering to offer] the blood of My sacrifice [Pesach-offering] while there is chometz; and do not allow to remain overnight until morning [off the Altar] any [fats] of the offering of the Pesach Festival.

The first fruits of your land, you shall bring to the House [of the Sanctuary] of Adonoy, your God. You must not cook a kid in its mother’s milk [eat meat with milk].

Adonoy said to Moshe, “Write these words down for yourself, for with [regarding the expression of] these words I have made a covenant with you and with [the B’nei] Yisrael.”

He [Moshe] remained there with [before] Adonoy for forty days and forty nights. He did not eat bread nor drink water, and He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Words [commandments.]

And when Moshe came down from Mount Sinai, and the two Tablets of the Testimony were in Moshe’s hand when he came down from the Mountain. Moshe did not know that the skin [splendor of the glory] of his face had become radiant [increased] when He [God] spoke to him.

When Aharon and all the B’nei Yisrael saw Moshe, and beheld that the skin [splendor of the glory] of his face had become radiant [increased], they were afraid to come close to him.

Moshe called to them and they returned to him—Aharon and all the leaders of the congregation—and Moshe spoke to them.

After that, all the B’nei Yisrael came close [to him] and he commanded them [regarding] all that Adonoy had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

When Moshe finished speaking with them, he placed a [face] cover[ing] over his face.

[But] when Moshe came before Adonoy, to speak to Him; he removed the [face] cover[ing] until he was ready to leave. and he would then go out and speak to the B’nei Yisrael, [telling them] what he had been commanded.

The B’nei Yisrael saw Moshe’s face, that the skin [splendor of the glory] of Moshe’s face had become radiant [increased], and Moshe replaced the [face] cover[ing] over his face until he would come in to speak to Him [Adonoy].
