Exodus 34:23-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty, the Lord God of Israel.

24. For when I will have taken away the nations before your face, and enlarged your borders, no one shall lie in wait against your land when you will go up to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, three times a year.

25. You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven; and there shall not remain, in the morning, any of the victim of the Solemnity of the Passover.

26. The first of the fruits of your land you shall offer in the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother."

27. And the Lord said to Moses, "Write these words to you, through which I have formed a covenant, both with you and with Israel."

28. Therefore, he was in that place with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread and he did not drink water, and he wrote on the tablets the ten words of the covenant.

29. And when Moses descended from Mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he did not know that his face was radiant from the sharing of words with the Lord.

30. Then Aaron and the sons of Israel, seeing that the face of Moses was radiant, were afraid to approach close by.

31. And being called by him, they turned back, both Aaron and the leaders of the assembly. And after he had spoken to them,

32. all the sons of Israel also now came to him. And he instructed them in all the things that he had heard from the Lord on Mount Sinai.

33. And having completed these words, he placed a veil over his face.

34. But when he entered to the Lord and was speaking with him, he took it off, until he exited. And then he spoke to the sons of Israel all that had been commanded to him.

35. And they saw that the face of Moses, when he came out, was radiant, but he covered his face again, whenever he spoke to them.
