Exodus, chapter 34, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 34 Vulgate

   1 Dixitque Dominus ad Moy sen: "Praecide tibi duas ta bulas lapideas instar priorum, et scribam super eas verba, quae habuerunt tabulae, quas fregisti.
   2 Esto paratus mane, ut ascendas statim in montem Sinai; stabisque mihi super verticem montis.
   3 Nullus ascendat tecum, nec videatur quispiam per totum montem; oves quoque et boves non pascantur e contra"
   4 Excidit ergo duas tabulas lapideas, quales antea fuerant; et de nocte consurgens ascendit in montem Sinai, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, portans secum tabulas.
   5 Cumque descendisset Dominus per nubem, stetit cum eo vocans in nomine Domini.
   6 Et transiens coram eo clamavit: "Dominus, Dominus Deus, misericors et clemens, patiens et multae miserationis ac verax,
   7 qui custodit misericordiam in milia, qui aufert iniquitatem et scelera atque peccata, nihil autem impunitum sinit, qui reddit iniquitatem patrum in filiis ac nepotibus in tertiam et quartam progeniem"
   8 Festinusque Moyses curvatus est pronus in terram et adorans
   9 ait: "Si inveni gratiam in conspectu tuo, Domine, obsecro, ut gradiaris nobiscum; populus quidem durae cervicis est, sed tu auferes iniquitates nostras atque peccata nosque possidebis"
   10 Respondit Dominus: "Ego inibo pactum coram universo populo tuo; mirabilia faciam, quae numquam visa sunt super totam terram nec in ullis gentibus, ut cernat cunctus populus, in cuius es medio, opus Domini terribile, quod facturus sum tecum.
   11 Observa cuncta, quae hodie mando tibi: ego ipse eiciam ante faciem tuam Amorraeum et Chananaeum et Hetthaeum, Pherezaeum quoque et Hevaeum et Iebusaeum.
   12 Cave, ne umquam cum habitatoribus terrae, quam intraveris, iungas amicitias, quae tibi sint in ruinam;
   13 sed aras eorum destrue, confringe lapides palosque succide.
   14 Noli adorare deum alienum: Dominus Zelotes nomen eius, Deus est aemulator.
   15 Ne ineas pactum cum hominibus illarum regionum, ne, cum fornicati fuerint cum diis suis et sacrificaverint eis, vocet te quispiam, et comedas de immolatis.
   16 Nec uxorem de filiabus eorum accipies filiis tuis, ne, postquam ipsae fuerint fornicatae cum diis suis, fornicari faciant et filios tuos in deos suos.
   17 Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.
   18 Sollemnitatem Azymorum custodies: septem diebus vesceris azymis, sicut praecepi tibi, in tempore constituto mensis Abib; mense enim verni temporis egressus es de Aegypto.
   19 Omne, quod aperit vulvam generis masculini, meum erit; de cuncto grege tuo tam de bobus quam de ovibus meum erit.
   20 Primogenitum asini redimes ove, sin autem nec pretium pro eo dederis, franges cervicem eius. Primogenitum filiorum tuorum redimes; nec apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.
   21 Sex diebus operaberis, die septimo cessabis etiam arare et metere.
   22 Sollemnitatem Hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuae triticeae et sollemnitatem Collectae, quando, redeunte anni tempore, cuncta conduntur.
   23 Tribus temporibus anni apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu omnipotentis Domini, Dei Israel.
   24 Cum enim tulero gentes a facie tua et dilatavero terminos tuos, nullus insidiabitur terrae tuae, ascendente te et apparente in conspectu Domini Dei tui ter in anno.
   25 Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem hostiae meae; neque residebit mane de victima sollemnitatis Paschae.
   26 Primitias frugum terrae tuae afferes in domum Domini Dei tui. Non coques haedum in lacte matris suae"
   27 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: "Scribe tibi verba haec, quibus et tecum et cum Israel pepigi foedus"
   28 Fuit ergo ibi cum Domino quadraginta dies et quadraginta noctes; panem non comedit et aquam non bibit et scripsit in tabulis verba foederis, decem verba.
   29 Cumque descenderet Moyses de monte Sinai, tenebat duas tabulas testimonii et ignorabat quod resplenderet cutis faciei suae ex consortio sermonis Domini.
   30 Videntes autem Aaron et filii Israel resplendere cutem faciei Moysi, timuerunt prope accedere;
   31 vocatique ab eo reversi sunt tam Aaron quam principes synagogae. Et postquam locutus est ad eos,
   32 venerunt ad eum etiam omnes filii Israel; quibus praecepit cuncta, quae audierat a Domino in monte Sinai.
   33 Impletisque sermonibus, posuit velamen super faciem suam,
   34 quod ingressus ad Dominum et loquens cum eo auferebat, donec exiret; et tunc loquebatur ad filios Israel omnia, quae sibi fuerant imperata.
   35 Qui videbant cutem faciei Moysi resplendere, sed operiebat ille rursus faciem suam, donec ingressus loqueretur cum eo.

King James Version

   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 of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
   21 ¶ Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
   22 ¶ And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
   23 ¶ Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
   24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
   25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
   26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
   27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
   28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
   29 ¶ And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
   30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
   31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
   32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
   33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
   34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
   35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
