Exodus 34: The Covenant Renewed

God told Moses to cut two new stone tablets and climb Mount Sinai again. The Lord came down in the cloud and proclaimed His name: Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, forgiving sin yet not ignoring guilt. Moses quickly bowed and worshiped and asked God to go with them and forgive them. God renewed His covenant, promised wonders, and warned Israel not to make covenants with the nations or worship their idols. He repeated laws about feasts, firstborn and the Sabbath. Moses stayed forty days and nights, and God wrote the ten commandments on the tablets. When Moses came down, his face shone, so he wore a veil.
