Exodus 34 - The Tablets are reissued

The Lord told Moses to cut two stones like the ones God had carved the ten commandments on before and Moses had broken them. He was to bring them up to Mount Sinai the next morning when he went up to visit God and to not bring any others with him. The Israelites were not to be seen in the area nor their flocks. 

God came down in a great cloud to visit Moses. He proclaimed His name as Lord and then said to Moses:

The Lord, the Lord a merciful and a gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity, continuing his kindness for a thousand generations, and forgiving wickedness and crime and sins; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless...verses 6, 7

Moses asked God again  to please remain with them on their trip to the promised land and the Lord made a convenant to him, Moses that the people would see more awe-inspiring deeds performed by God.

God carved out the ten commandments again and as Moses brought it down to the people there was a radiant glow about his face from being in God's presence. Moses covered his face with a veil when talking to the Israelites. Read the ten commandments here.

Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word.
