Exodus 32
[1] And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the
mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto
him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the
man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become
of him.
[2] And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in
the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them
unto me.
[3] And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
[4] And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving
tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods,
O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. [5] And when
Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and
said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. [6] And they rose up early on the
morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the
people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
[7] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which
thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: [8]
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they
have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed
thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee
up out of the land of Egypt. [9] And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen
this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
[10] Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them,
and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. [11]
And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax
hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of
Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? [12] Wherefore should the
Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them
in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from
thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
[13] Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou
swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed
as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give
unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. [14] And the LORD
repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
[15] And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of
the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their
sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. [16] And the
tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven
upon the tables.
[17] And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said
unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. [18] And he said, It is
not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of
them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I
hear.
[19] And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he
saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the
tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. [20] And he took
the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to
powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel
drink of it.
[21] And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou
hast brought so great a sin upon them? [22] And Aaron said, Let not the
anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on
mischief. [23] For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before
us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of
Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
[24] And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off.
So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this
calf.
[25] And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made
them naked unto their shame among their enemies:) [26] Then Moses stood in
the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come
unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
[27] And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every
man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout
the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and
every man his neighbour.
[28] And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there
fell of the people that day about three thousand men. [29] For Moses had
said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his
son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
[30] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye
have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I
shall make an atonement for your sin. [31] And Moses returned unto the
LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them
gods of gold. [32] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not,
blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. [33] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out
of my book.
[34] Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in
the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. [35] And the LORD
plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

Exodus 33
[1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the
people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land
which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed
will I give it:
[2] And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the
Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and
the Jebusite:
[3] Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the
midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in
the way.
[4] And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man
did put on him his ornaments.
[5] For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye
are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a
moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee,
that I may know what to do unto thee.
[6] And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by
the mount Horeb.
[7] And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar
off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it
came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. [8] And it came
to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose
up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he
was gone into the tabernacle. [9] And it came to pass, as Moses entered
into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of
the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
[10] And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door:
and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. [11]
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his
friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son
of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. [12] And Moses
said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and
thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said,
I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. [13] Now
therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy
way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider
that this nation is thy people. [14] And he said, My presence shall go with
thee, and I will give thee rest. [15] And he said unto him, If thy presence
go not with me, carry us not up hence.
[16] For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found
grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be
separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of
the earth.
[17] And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast
spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
[18] And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. [19] And he said, I
will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of
the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and
will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. [20] And he said, Thou canst not
see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
[21] And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt
stand upon a rock:
[22] And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put
thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass
by:
[23] And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but
my face shall not be seen.

Exodus 34
[1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto
the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the
first tables, which thou brakest.
[2] And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount
Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. [3] And no
man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the
mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
[4] And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up
early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had
commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. [5] And the
LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the
name of the LORD.
[6] And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD
God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and
truth,
[7] Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and
sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the
third and to the fourth generation. [8] And Moses made haste, and bowed his
head toward the earth, and worshipped.
[9] And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my
Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon
our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. [10] And he
said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels,
such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the
people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a
terrible thing that I will do with thee. [11] Observe thou that which I
command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the
Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the
Jebusite. [12] Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the
inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the
midst of thee: [13] But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images,
and cut down their groves:
[14] For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God:
[15] Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they
go a whoring after their gods , and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one
call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; [16] And thou take of their
daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods,
and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. [17] Thou shalt make thee
no molten gods. [18] The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven
days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of
the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. [19] All
that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle,
whether ox or sheep, that is male. [20] But the firstling of an ass thou
shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break
his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall
appear before me empty. [21] Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh
day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. [22]
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat
harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. [23] Thrice in the
year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of
Israel.
[24] For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders:
neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear
before the LORD thy God thrice in the year. [25] Thou shalt not offer the
blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast
of the passover be left unto the morning. [26] The first of the firstfruits
of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt
not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. [27] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a
covenant with thee and with Israel. [28] And he was there with the LORD
forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And
he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
[29] And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the
two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount,
that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with
him. [30] And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold,
the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. [31] And
Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation
returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. [32] And afterward all the
children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the
LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. [33] And till Moses had done
speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. [34] But when Moses went in
before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out.
And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was
commanded. [35] And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the
skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again,
until he went in to speak with him.
