Exodus 34:1-9 - Yahweh's Description Of Himself
1 Jehovah said to Moses: Cut two more stone tablets like the first ones. I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets that you smashed. 2 Be ready in the morning. Come up on Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No man may come with you or even be seen anywhere on the mountain. Even the flocks and herds may not graze in front of this mountain.
4 Moses cut two more stone tablets. Early the next morning he carried them up Mount Sinai, just as Jehovah commanded.
5 Jehovah came down in a cloud and stood with him as Moses called upon the name of Jehovah! 6 Jehovah then passed in front of him and called out: I, Jehovah, am a God who is full of compassion and pity. I am not easily angered and show great love and faithfulness. 7 I keep my promise for thousands of generations and forgive evil and sin. But I will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their fathers.
8 Moses hurried to bow low toward the earth and worship. 9 He prayed: Jehovah, if you really are pleased with me, I pray that you will go with us. It is true that these people are sinful and rebellious. However, please forgive our sin and let us be your people.
