�1: And the Lord (Yahaveh) said to Moses (Moses must have descended the 5th time, see 19:3), "Hew you two tables of stone like unto the first (Moses makes these second tables; Yahaveh made the first, see 31:18): and I will
write (see 17:14) upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which you broke.
�2: And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to mount Sinai, and present yourself there to Me in the top of the mount.
�3: And no man shall come up with you, 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;

2-3rd of August 1491 B.C. a Sabbath
and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai (Moses 6th and last descent, see 19:3), as the Lord (Yehovah) had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
�5: And the Lord (Yahaveh) descended in the cloud, and stood with him
there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord (Yahaveh). (As promised in 33:19.)
�6: And the Lord (Yahaveh) passed by before him, and proclaimed,
"Lord, Lord (Yahaveh, Yahaveh) GOD (El), merciful and gracious, longsuffering
(=slow to anger), and abundant in goodness (lovingkindness, or grace) and truth (=faithfulness),
�7: Keeping mercy (=lovingkindness, or grace) for thousands, forgiving iniquity (=bearing away perverseness) and transgression (=rebellion) and sin, and That will by no means clear the guilty (Not even Christ, when our sins were imputed to Him: therefore, all now in Him are "cleared", Heb. "clearing will not clear", emphasis on "by no means"); visiting the perverseness of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, to the third and to the fourth generation." (This refrain recurs in whole or in part in Ex.20:5. Cp. also Num.14:18. Deut.5:9. Neh.9:17. Ps. 103:8. Jer.9:24; 30:11; 46:28. Dan.9:4. Nah.1:3. The visiting spread over in mercy, not extended in wrath.)
�8: And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the
earth, and worshipped. (This is ever the effect of the manifestation of Yehovah in grace. Cp. 2 Sam.7:18.)
�9: And he said, "If now I have found grace in Your sight,
O Lord (Yahaveh), let my Lord (Yahaveh), I pray You, go among us; for it
is a stiffnecked People (The moment Yahaveh speaks of grace, Moses turns the very charge of Yehovah, in 33:5, into a plea and ground for His presence); and pardon our perverseness and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance."

H���K���10,11. Yahaveh the only true God. ����K���12-17. No other Gods.
�10: And the Lord (Yahaveh) said, "Behold, I make a covenant (of marvels. This covenant finds its complete fulfilment in the Apocolpse): before all your 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 you are shall see the work of the Lord (Yahaveh): for it is a terrible (Heb. yare, to fear; mor. to revere) thing that I will do with you.
�11: You observe that which I command you this day: behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and
the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the
Jebusite.
�12: Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with
the inhabitants of the land to which place you go, lest,
they be for a snare in the midst of you:
�13: But you all shall destroy their altars, break their
sacred pillars (cp. 23:24; 24:4, and Lev.26:1), and cut down their groves: (Heb. '�sh�r�h. First occ. out of 40: always rendered "groves", but denotes a phallic image,
worshipped by libidinous rites and lascivious practices.
See notes below.)
�14: For you shall worship no other god: for the Lord (Yehovah), Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous GOD (El):
�15: Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land, and they go a whoring after their gods , and do offer slain sacrifices to their gods, and one (of them) call you, and you eat of his slain offering;
�16: And you take of their daughters unto your sons, and
their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make
your sons go a whoring after their gods.
�17: you shall make you no molten gods.

�19: All that opens the matrix is Mine; and every
firstling among your cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is
male.
�20: But the firstling of an ass you shall ransom (see 6:6 & 13:13) with a lamb: and if you redeem him not, then shall you break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty. (This is an alteration, in pointing, made by the Sopherim to soften the Fig. Condenscention of the primitive text, which was "see My face". See 23:15, and cp. the other passages where the change is made, namely 34:20,23,24. Deut.16:16; 31:11. Ps.11:7; 17:15; 42:2. Isa.1:12; 38:11. In this, therefore, there is no contradiction of 33:20)
�21: Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in earing time (=ploughing time) and in harvest you shall rest.
�22: And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the
firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering
at the year's end.
�23: Thrice (#3 = Divine perfection) in the year shall all your men children appear before THE Lord God ('Adon Yahaveh Elohim), the God (Elohim) of Israel.
�24: For I will cast out the nations before you, and
enlarge your borders: neither shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to appear before the Lord (Yahaveh) your God (Elohim) thrice in the year.
�25: You shall not slay and pour out the blood of My sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left untill the morning.
�26: The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the Lord (Yahaveh) your God (Elohim). You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk."
�27: And the Lord (Yahaveh) said to Moses, "You write these words (see 17:14): for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
2-3rd August to 10-11th Sept. 1491 B.C.
�28: And he was there with the Lord (Yahaveh) forty days and forty nights (#40 = probation); he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And the Lord (Yahaveh) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. (See 31:18)
Y6��X���34:29-35. Conclusion of the ascents. ����X���35:1-3. Preparation for the work.
�29: And it came to pass, when Moses came down (Moses' 6th and last descent, see 19:3) from mount Sinai { with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount}, that Moses knew not (Cp. Moses: unconscious moral strength for testmony. Samson unconscious weakness for unfaithfulness [Judg.16:20]. Peter: unconscious deliverence for service [Acts 12:9]) that the skin of his face radiated (i.e. reflected as a miror the Divine Glory, see 2 Cor.3:7; and cp. 1 Cor.15:41. Rev.18:1. Matt.17:2. Acts 6:15. The Vulgate mistook the Heb. word keren = to radiate, for keren, a beam or horn of light. See Hab.3:4 and note on the superscription to Ps.21. Hence the traditional paintings of Moses with two horns) while the Lord (Yahaveh) talked with him. (=Through His having spoken with him. This interprets 1 John 3:2. Cp. Matt.17:2, and "till" of v.33, and "untill" of v.35.)
�30: And when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw
Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were
afraid to come near him. (See Ex.20:18-21)
�31: And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the
rulers of the congregation returned to him: and Moses
talked with them.
�32: And afterward all the sons of Israel came near:
and he gave them in commandment (charged them all) all that the Lord (Yahaveh) had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
�33: And until Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
�34: But when Moses went into the tent before the Lord (Yahaveh) to speak with Him, he took the vail off (and, when Israel thus turns to Yahaveh, He will take the vail from their heart, as Moses did from his face, 2 Cor.3:16. We, now, are "not as Moses", v.13), until he came out. And he came
out, and spoke to the sons of Israel that which he was commanded.
�35: And the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon
his face again (so 2 Cor.3:13. Greek = "Kept putting a vail on his face" [imperfect tense]. They could not see "the end of the Law", which is Christ. Rom.10:4), until he went in to speak with Yahaveh.

�19: The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.' "
�20: And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
�21: And they brought in, every one whose heart stirred (see v.5) him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the heave offering of Yahaveh (see 29:27) to the work of the tent of the congregation, and for all His service, and for the holy garments.
�22: And they brought in, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted (see v.5), and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets (4 items, #4 = material things of the earth, creative works), all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered a wave offering (see 29:27) of gold to Yahaveh.
�23: And every man, with whom was found blue, and (7 items, 3 + 4 = Divine completeness plus creative works) purple, and scarlet, and fine linen (Egypt noted for it. The thread was dyed before being woven), and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
�24: Every one that did offer a heave offering of silver and brass brought the heave offering of the Lord (Yahaveh): and every man, with whom was found aacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
�25: And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands (In Egypt the women did the dying and spinning; the men did the weaving and embroidering), and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
�26: And all the women whose heart stirred (see v.5) them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
�27: And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
�28: And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.

�31: And He has filled him with the spirit of God (Elohim), the Creator, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
�32: And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
�33: And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of skillful work. (See 26:1)

to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise skillful work.
�2: And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the Lord (Yahaveh) had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred (see 35:5) him up to come to the work to do it:
�3: And they received of Moses all the heave offerings (see 29:27), which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet to him free-will offerings every morning.
�4: And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
�5: And they spoke to Moses, saying, "The People bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which Yahaveh commanded to make."
