1
And Moses said: If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lorda, let my Lord, I pray thee, go amongb us!
2
Though we are a stiff-necked people; forgive us our iniquity and our sina, and takeb us for thine inheritance!
3
And the Voicea 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;
4
And all the people among which thou art shall see the work of YHVH; for it is a terriblea thing that I will do with thee.
5
Observe thou that which I instruct thee this day:
ONE
7
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;
8
But ye shall tear down their altars, break their obelisks, and cut down their idols of wood, for thou shalt worship no other god; for YHVH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous Elohim.
9
Do this, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and my people should go a whoringa after their elohim and do sacrifice unto their elohim, and one call thee, and thou eat of their sacrifice, and thou fulfill their desire to receive unto thy will to bestow;
10
Which is to say, when they go a whoring after their elohim, ye too should go a whoring after their elohim, thereby giving pleasure to their flesh.
TWO
11
¶ Thou shalt make thee no molten elohima.
THREE
12
¶ The Feast of Unleavened Breada shalt thou keep:
13
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the first montha; for in the first month thou camest out from Egypt.
FOUR
14
¶ All of the first borna from every womb are mine; even the firstling among thy livestock, be they ox or sheep.
15
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou redeem them not, then shalt thou break their neck:
16
All the firstborn of thy sons and thy daughters thou shalt redeem, and none shall appear before me empty handed.
FIVE
17
¶ Honor the Sabbath of the Seventh daya: six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
SIX
18
¶ And thou shalt observe the Sabbaths of the Feast of Weeksa, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the end of the season.
SEVEN
19
¶ Thrice in the yeara in thy Sabbaths shall all your children appear before the Lorda YHVH, the Elohim of Israel.
20
For I will cast out the nations before thee and enlarge thy borders; neither shall anyone desire thy land when thou shalt go up to appear before YHVH, thy Elohim, thrice in the year.
EIGHT
21
¶ Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Feast of Unleavened Breada be left unto the morning.
NINE
22
¶ The first of the firstfruitsa of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of YHVH, thy Elohim.
TEN
23
¶ Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mothera.
24
¶ And YHVH said unto Moses: Write thou these words; for after the tenora of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel;
25
But they shall not understand my words, and the time will come that they should forget them;
26
But when these words are returned unto my children, they shall be given the power to understand the true Priesthooda of my covenant with my children, even Israela.
27
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah were there with YHVH forty days and forty nightsa; and while in the presenceb of YHVH they did neither eat bread nor drink water.
28
And Moses wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, and the ten commandments.
