4. He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; then Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.
5. The Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Lord’s name.
6. The Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, “The Lord! the Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,
7. keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
8. Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.
9. He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
10. He said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor 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 do with you.
