1. The Lord said to Moses, "Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. I’ll write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke into pieces.
2. Get ready in the morning and come up to Mount Sinai. Stand there on top of the mountain in front of me.
3. No one else can come up with you. Don’t allow anyone even to be seen anywhere on the mountain. Don’t even let sheep and cattle graze in front of the mountain."
4. So Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones. He got up early in the morning and climbed up Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded him. He carried the two stone tablets in his hands.
5. The Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him, and proclaimed the name, "The Lord."
6. The Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed:"The Lord! The Lord!a God who is compassionate and merciful,very patient,full of great loyalty and faithfulness,
7. showing great loyalty to a thousand generations,forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion,yet by no means clearing the guilty,punishing for their parents’ sinstheir children and their grandchildren,as well as the third and the fourth generation."
8. At once Moses bowed to the ground and worshipped.
