Exodus 34:1-7
Moses Makes New Tablets
34:1 And the Lord said to Moses, [Ex. 24:12; 31:18; 32:15, 16, 19; Deut. 4:13] “Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and (Deut. 10:2, 4) I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke.
2 So be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there (Ex. 19:11, 18, 20) on the top of the mountain.
3 And no man shall (Ex. 19:12, 13; 24:9–11) come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.”
4 So 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.
5 Now the Lord descended in the (Ex. 19:9) cloud and stood with him there, and ( Ex. 33:19) proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord (Num. 14:18; Deut. 4:31; Neh. 9:17; Joel 2:13) God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in (Rom. 2:4) goodness and (Ps. 108:4) truth,
7 (Ex. 20:6) keeping mercy for thousands, (Ps. 103:3, 4; Dan. 9:9; Eph. 4:32; 1 John 1:9) forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, (Josh. 24:19; Job 10:14; Mic. 6:11; Nah. 1:3) 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.”
