Exodus 34

English Standard Version



1 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. (Ex 32:19; Ex 34:28; De 10:1; De 10:2; De 10:4) 2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain. (Ex 19:20) 3 No one shall come up with you, and let no one be seen throughout all the mountain. Let no flocks or herds graze opposite that mountain.” (Ex 19:12; Ex 19:21) 4 So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first. And he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone. 5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. (Ex 33:19; Nu 11:25; 1Ki 8:10) 6 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, (Ex 22:27; Nu 14:18; 2Ch 30:9; Ne 9:17; Ps 57:10; Ps 86:15; Ps 103:8; Ps 108:4; Ps 111:4; Ps 112:4; Ps 116:5; Ps 145:8; Joe 2:13) 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands,[1] forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” (Ex 20:5; Ex 23:21; De 5:9; De 5:10; Jos 24:19; Job 10:14; Ps 103:3; Ps 130:4; Jer 32:18; Da 9:4; Da 9:9; Na 1:3; 1Jo 1:9) 8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. (Ex 4:31; Ex 12:27) 9 And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.” (Ex 32:9; Ex 33:15; De 32:9; Ps 28:9; Ps 33:12; Ps 78:62; Ps 94:14; Jer 10:16; Zec 2:12) 



10 And he said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been created in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you. (Ex 34:27; De 4:32; De 5:2; De 10:21; De 29:1; Jos 6:20; Jos 10:12; 2Sa 7:23; Ps 77:14; Ps 78:12; Ps 145:6; Isa 64:3) 11 “Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. (Ex 13:5) 12 Take care, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you go, lest it become a snare in your midst. (Ex 23:32; Ex 23:33; De 7:2; Jos 23:12; Jud 2:2) 13 You shall tear down their altars and break their pillars and cut down their Asherim (Ex 23:24; De 7:5; De 12:3; De 16:21; Jud 2:2; Jud 6:25; 2Ki 18:4; 2Ki 23:14; 2Ch 31:1; 2Ch 34:3) 14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), (Ex 20:3; Ex 20:5) 15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they whore after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and you are invited, you eat of his sacrifice, (Ex 34:12; Le 17:7; Le 20:5; Nu 25:2; De 31:16; Jud 2:17; Ps 106:28; Jer 3:9; Eze 6:9; 1Co 8:4; 1Co 8:7; 1Co 8:10; 1Co 10:27) 16 and you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters whore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods. (Ex 34:15; De 7:3; 1Ki 11:2; Ezr 9:2; Ne 13:25) 17 “You shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal. (Ex 32:4; Ex 32:8; Le 19:4; De 27:15) 18 “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt. (Ex 12:15; Ex 13:4) 19 All that open the womb are mine, all your male[2] livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep. (Ex 13:2) 20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty-handed. (Ex 13:13; Ex 23:15; Nu 18:15; De 16:16) 21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest. (Ex 20:9) 22 You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end. (Ex 23:16; De 16:10; De 16:13) 23 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. (Ex 23:14; Ex 23:17; De 16:16) 24 For I will cast out nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one shall covet your land, when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year. (Ex 23:27; Ex 33:2; De 7:1; De 12:20; De 19:8; Ps 78:55; Ps 80:8; Pr 16:7) 25 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover remain until the morning. (Ex 12:8; Ex 12:10) 26 The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.” (Ex 23:19; De 14:21) 27 And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” (Ex 34:10) 28 So 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.[3] (Ex 24:18; Ex 31:18; Ex 32:16; Ex 34:1; De 4:13; De 10:2; De 10:4) 



29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.[4] (Ex 32:15; Mt 17:2; 2Co 3:7) 30 Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. (Ex 34:29) 31 But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them. 32 Afterward all the people of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that the Lord had spoken with him in Mount Sinai. (Ex 24:3) 33 And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. (2Co 3:13) 34 Whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded, (2Co 3:16) 35 the people of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face was shining. And Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he went in to speak with him. (Ex 34:29)

Exodus 34

الكتاب المقدس



1 ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْحَتْ لَكَ لَوْحَينِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مِثْلَ اللَّوْحَينِ الأَوَّلَيْنِ. فَأَكْتُبَ أَنَا عَليْهِمَا الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي دَوَّنْتُهَا عَلَى اللَّوْحَينِ الأَوَّلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَسَرْتَهُمَا. 2 وَتَأَهَّبْ فِي الصَّبَاحِ ثُمَّ اصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَامْثُلْ أَمَامِي هُنَاكَ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ. 3 وَلا يَصْعَدْ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يُشَاهَدْ عَلَى الجَبَلِ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلا تَرْعَ الْغَنَمُ أَيْضاً وَالْبَقَرُ بِاتِّجَاهِ هَذَا الجَبَلِ». 4 فَنَحَتَ مُوسَى لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مُمَاثِلَيْنِ لِلأَوَّلَيْنِ، وَبَكَّرَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ. 5 فَنَزَلَ بِهَيْئَةِ سَحَابٍ، وَوَقَفَ مَعَهُ هُنَاكَ حَيْثُ أَعْلَنَ لَهُ اسْمَهُ: «الرَّبُّ»، 6 وَعَبَرَ مِنْ أَمَامِ مُوسَى مُنَادِياً: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ. الرَّبُّ إِلَهٌ رَؤُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ، بَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ وَكَثِيرُ الإِحْسَانِ وَالْوَفَاءِ. 7 أَدَّخِرُ الإِحْسَانَ وَأَغْفِرُ الإِثْمَ وَالْمَعْصِيَةَ وَالْخَطِيئَةَ. وَلَكِنِّي لَا أُعْفِي الْمُذْنِبَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ، بَلْ أَفْتَقِدُ إِثْمَ الآبَاءِ فِي الأَبْنَاءِ وَالأَحْفَادِ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ». 8 فَخَرَّ مُوسَى فِي الحَالِ وَسَجَدَ، 9 وَقَالَ: «إِنْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، فَلْيُرَافِقْنَا الرَّبُّ فِي مَسِيرِنَا. وَمَعَ أَنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ عَنِيدٌ. لَكِنِ اصْفَحْ عَنْ إِثْمِنَا وَخَطِيئَتِنَا وَاتَّخِذْنَا شَعْباً خَاصّاً لَكَ». 10 فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَكَ عَهْداً، فَأُجْرِي أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِكَ مُعْجِزَاتٍ لَمْ يُجْرَ مَثِيلُهَا فِي جَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَيَشْهَدُ الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي تُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِهِ، الْفِعْلَ الْمَهُولَ الَّذِي أَصْنَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ. 11 وَلَكِنْ أَطِعْ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ بِهِ. هَا أَنَا طَارِدٌ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ. 12 إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَعْقِدَ مُعَاهَدَةً مَعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ مَاضٍ إِلَيْهَا لِئَلّا يَكُونُوا شَرَكاً لَكُمْ. 13 بَلِ اهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَاكْسِرُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، وَاقْطَعُوا أَشْجَارَهُمُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ. 14 إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا إِلَهاً آخَرَ غَيْرِي، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ اسْمُهُ غَيُورٌ جِدّاً. 15 إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْقِدُوا مُعَاهَدَةً مَعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّهُمْ حِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَتَهُمْ مُشْرِكِينَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ لَهُمْ، يَدْعُونَكُمْ فَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَبِيحَتِهِمْ. 16 وَتُزَوِّجُونَ بَنِيكُمْ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ، فَيَجْعَلْنَ بَنِيكُمْ يَغْوُونَ أَيْضاً بِعِبَادَةِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ. 17 إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ آلِهَةً مَسْبُوكَةً. 18 احْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ شَهْرِ نِيسَانَ وَهُوَ الشَّهْرُ الأَوَّلُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ)، لأَنَّكُمْ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. 19 كُلُّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ هُوَ لِي، وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ مَاشِيَتِكَ مِنَ الثِّيرَانِ وَالْخِرْفَانِ وَالْمَاعِزِ. 20 أَمَّا بِكْرُ الْحِمَارِ فَتَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ، وَإلَّا تَدُقُّ عُنُقَهُ. كُلُّ ابْنٍ بِكْرٍ لَكَ تَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ. لَا تَمْثُلُوا أَمَامِي بِأَيْدٍ فَارِغَةٍ. 21 فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْسَّابِعِ تَسْتَرِيحُ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْفَلاحَةِ وَالْحَصَادِ. 22 احْتَفِلُوا أَيْضاً بِعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ فِي أَوَّلِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ. وَبِعِيدِ الْجَمْعِ فِي آخِرِ السَّنَةِ. 23 عَلَى جَمِيعِ الذُّكُورِ أَنْ يَمْثُلُوا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ أَمَامَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 24 هَا أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، وَأُوَسِّعُ حُدُودَكُمْ، وَلَنْ يَطْمَعَ أَحَدٌ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ حِينَ تَصْعَدُونَ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ. 25 لَا تُقَرِّبْ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةٍ مَعَ عَجِينٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ. وَلا تَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ الْفِصْحِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي. 26 تُحْضِرُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاكُورَةَ ثِمَارِ أَرْضِكَ. وَلا تَطْبُخْ جَدْياً فِي لَبَنِ أُمِّهِ». 27 وَاسْتَطْرَدَ الرَّبُّ: «دَوِّنْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، لأَنَّنِي قَطَعْتُ مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْداً بُناءً عَلَيْهَا». 28 وَمَكَثَ مُوسَى فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَمْ يَأْكُلْ فِيهَا خُبْزاً، وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً. فَدَوَّنَ عَلَى اللَّوْحَينِ كَلِمَاتِ العَهْدِ، أَيِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرَ. 



29 وَعِنْدَمَا انْحَدَرَ مِنْ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ حَامِلاً بِيَدَيْهِ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْرِي أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ كَانَ يَلْمَعُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَ اللهِ. 30 وَحِينَ شَاهَدَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُوسَى، كَانَ وَجْهُهُ لامِعاً، فَخَافُوا أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا مِنْهُ، 31 فَدَعَاهُمْ مُوسَى فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ هَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ فَخَاطَبَهُمْ. 32 وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْهُ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَلا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَمْلاهَا الرَّبُّ فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ. 33 وَعِنْدَمَا أَنْهَى مُوسَى حَدِيثَهُ مَعَهُمْ، وَضَعَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ بُرْقُعاً، 34 كَانَ يَخْلَعُهُ عِنْدَ مُثُولِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ لِيَتَحَادَثَ مَعَهُ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ مِنْ لَدُنْهِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ لِيُخَاطِبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا أَوْصَاهُ. 35 فَإِذَا عَايَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَعَاناً فِي جِلْدِ وَجْهِ مُوسَى، كَانَ يَرُدُّ الْبُرْقُعَ إِلَى حِينِ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ لِلتَّحَدُّثِ مَعَ الرَّبِّ فَيَرْفَعُهُ.
