Exodus 34:1-9 - Yahweh's Description Of Himself

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, "Hew the two tables of stone like unto the first that I may write in them the words which were in the first two tables, which thou brakest. 2 And be ready against the morning that thou mayest come up early unto the mount of Sinai and stand me there upon the top of the mount. 3 But let no man come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount, neither let sheep nor oxen feed before the hill."

4 And Moses hewed two tables of stone like unto the first and rose up early in the morning and went up unto the mount of Sinai as the LORD 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 he called upon the name of the LORD. 6 And when the LORD walked before him, he cried, "LORD, LORD God full of compassion and mercy, which art not lightly angry but abundant in mercy and truth, 7 and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness, trespass and sin - for there is no man innocent before thee - and visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon children's children, even unto the third and fourth generation."

8 And Moses bowed himself to the earth quickly, and worshipped, 9 and said, "If I have found grace in thy sight O Lord, then let my Lord go with us - for it is a stubborn people. And have mercy upon our wickedness and our sin, and let us be thine inheritance."
