   Exodus Chapter 33   
      
   1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the   
   people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the   
   land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto   
   thy seed will I give it:   
      
   2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the   
   Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite,   
   and the Jebusite:   
      
   3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the   
   midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in   
   the way.   
      
   4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man   
   did put on him his ornaments.   
      
   5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye   
   are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a   
   moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee,   
   that I may know what to do unto thee.   
      
   6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by   
   the mount Horeb.   
      
   7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar   
   off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And   
   it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the   
   tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.   
      
   8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all   
   the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked   
   after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.   
      
   9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy   
   pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD   
   talked with Moses.   
      
   10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle   
   door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.   
      
   11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto   
   his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua,   
   the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.   
      
   12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this   
   people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet   
   thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in   
   my sight.   
      
   13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew   
   me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy   
   sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.   
      
   14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.   
      
   15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up   
   hence.   
      
   16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found   
   grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be   
   separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face   
   of the earth.   
      
   17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou   
   hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.   
      
   18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.   
      
   19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will   
   proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom   
   I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.   
      
   20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see   
   me, and live.   
      
   21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt   
   stand upon a rock:   
      
   22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put   
   thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I   
   pass by:   
      
   23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but   
   my face shall not be seen.   
      
   Exodus Chapter 34   
      
   1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto   
   the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the   
   first tables, which thou brakest.   
      
   2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount   
   Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.   
      
   3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen   
   throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before   
   that mount.   
      
   4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose   
   up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had   
   commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.   
      
   5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and   
   proclaimed the name of the LORD.   
      
   6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD   
   God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and   
   truth,   
      
   7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and   
   sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity   
   of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto   
   the third and to the fourth generation.   
      
   8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.   
      
   9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my   
   Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and   
   pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.   
      
   10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will   
   do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any   
   nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of   
   the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.   
      
   11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out   
   before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the   
   Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.   
      
   12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants   
   of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:   
      
   13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down   
   their groves:   
      
   14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is   
   Jealous, is a jealous God:   
      
   15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they   
   go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one   
   call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;   
      
   16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters   
   go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after   
   their gods.   
      
   17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.   
      
   18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt   
   eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month   
   Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.   
      
   19 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy   
   cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.   
      
   20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if   
   thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn
