34 The Lord said🗣️ to2️⃣ Moses👴🏽, “Chisel out two2️⃣ stone🗿 tablets like the 🏅first🏆🥇 ones1️⃣, 🅰️and I will write✍️ on🔛 them👥 the words🔠🔡 that were on🔛 the 🥇🏆first🏅 tablets, which you broke💔. 2 Be🐝 ready in the 🌥️morning🌥️, 🅰️and then come up⬆️ on🔛 Mount⛰️ Sinai. 🎁Present yourself to2️⃣ me there on🔛 top🔝 of the mountain🏔️. 3 ❎No❎ one1️⃣ is to2️⃣ come with you or be🐝 seen👁️ 🅰️anywhere on🔛 the mountain🏔️; ❎not❎ even the 🦃🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥flocks🐦🐧🕊️🦅🦆🦉 and 🐮🐄🐷🐖🐗🐪🐫herds🐏🐑🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥 may graze🌽 in front of the mountain🏔️.”

4 So Moses👴🏽 chiseled out two2️⃣ stone🗿 tablets like the 🏅🥇first🏆 ones1️⃣ and went up⬆️ Mount🏔️ Sinai early in the 🌥️morning🌥️, 🅰️as the Lord had commanded🗣️ him; 🅰️and he carried the two2️⃣ stone🗿 tablets in his hands👐. 5 Then the Lord came down⬇️ in the ☁️cloud☁️ and stood🕴️ there with him 🅰️and proclaimed🗣️ his name, the Lord. 6 🅰️And he passed in front of Moses👴🏽, proclaiming🗣️, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate😍 🅰️and gracious God, slow🐌 to2️⃣ anger😣, 🆎abounding in 💘❤️💓💕💖💗💙love💚💛💜🖤💝💞💟 🅰️and 😇🙏faithfulness, 7 maintaining 💘❤️💓💕💖💗💙love💚💛💜🖤💝💞💟 to2️⃣ thousands1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣, 🅰️and 4️⃣forgiving wickedness, ✊rebellion✊ 🅰️and sin😈. Yet he does ❎not❎ leave the guilty unpunished; he 🔒punishes🔒 the children👶👦👧 and their👥 children👶👦👧 for4️⃣ the sin😈 of the parents👴👵 to2️⃣ the third🥉 and fourth4️⃣ generation👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.”

27 Then the Lord said🗣️ to2️⃣ Moses👴🏽, “Write✍️ down⬇️ these words🔠🔡, for4️⃣ in 🅰️accordance with these words🔡🔠 I have ⛏️⚒️made🛠️🔨 a🅰️ covenant with you 🅰️and with Israel.”28 👴🏽Moses was there with the Lord forty4️⃣0️⃣ days📆 🅰️and forty4️⃣0️⃣ 🌙nights🌙 without eating 🍞bread🥖 or drinking🍶 🌊💧water💦💦. 🅰️And he wrote✍️ on🔛 the tablets the words🔠🔡 of the covenant ➖ the Ten🔟 Commandments.

The Radiant Face of Moses

29 When Moses👴🏽 came down⬇️ from Mount⛰️ Sinai with the two2️⃣ tablets of the covenant law⚖️ in his hands👐, he was ❌not❌ 🅰️aware that his face was ☢️radiant☢️ 🐝because he had spoken🗣️ with the Lord. 30 When 🅰️Aaron and 🅰️all the Israelites saw👁️ Moses👴🏽, his face was ☢️radiant☢️, 🅰️and they👥 were 🅰️afraid to2️⃣ come near him. 31 But Moses👴🏽 called📞 to2️⃣ them👥; so 🅰️Aaron and 🅰️all the leaders of the community🏘️ came back🔙 to2️⃣ him, 🅰️and he spoke🗣️ to2️⃣ them👥. 32 🅰️Afterward 🅰️all the Israelites came near him, 🅰️and he gave them👥 🅰️all the commands🗣️ the Lord had given him on🔛 Mount⛰️ Sinai.

33 When Moses👴🏽 finished🏁 speaking🗣️ to2️⃣ them👥, he put a🅰️ veil over his face. 34 But whenever he entered↩️ the Lord’s presence to2️⃣ speak🗣️ with him, he ⛔removed⛔ the veil until he came out. 🅰️And when he came out 🅰️and told🗣️ the Israelites what he had 🐝been commanded🗣️, 35 they👥 saw👁️ that his face was ☢️radiant☢️. Then Moses👴🏽 would put the veil back🔙 over his face until he went in to2️⃣ speak🗣️ with the Lord.
