23. Your men must come to worship me three times a year, because I am the Lord God of Israel.
24. I will force the nations out of your land and enlarge your borders. Then no one will try to take your property when you come to worship me these three times each year.
25. When you sacrifice an animal on the altar, don't offer bread made with yeast. And don't save any part of the Passover meal for the next day.
26. I am the Lord your God, and you must bring the first part of your harvest to the place of worship.Don't boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
27. The Lord told Moses to put these laws in writing, as part of his agreement with Israel.
28. Moses stayed on the mountain with the Lord for forty days and nights, without eating or drinking. And he wrote down the Ten Commandments, the most important part of God's agreement with his people.
29. Moses came down from Mount Sinai, carrying the Ten Commandments. His face was shining brightly because the Lord had been speaking to him. But Moses did not know at first that his face was shining.
30. When Aaron and the others looked at Moses, they saw that his face was shining, and they were afraid to go near him.
31. Moses called out for Aaron and the leaders to come to him, and he spoke with them.
32. Then the rest of the people of Israel gathered around Moses, and he gave them the laws that the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
33. The face of Moses kept shining, and after he had spoken with the people, he covered his face with a veil.
34. Moses would always remove the veil when he went into the sacred tent to speak with the Lord. And when he came out, he would tell the people everything the Lord had told him to say.
35. They could see that his face was still shining. So after he had spoken with them, he would put the veil back on and leave it on until the next time he went to speak with the Lord.
