The Second Tablets

And the LORD said to Moses: Carve for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write upon the tablets the words that were upon the first tablets, which you shattered. And be ready by the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and station yourself for Me there on the top of the mountain. And he carved two tablets of stone like the first ones, and Moses rose early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and he took in his hand two tablets of stone. And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and he called out in the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed before his face and proclaimed: The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth, keeping lovingkindness for thousands, bearing iniquity and transgression and sin, yet He does not wholly acquit, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon children and upon children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations. And Moses hastened and bowed to the earth and prostrated himself. And he said: If now I have found favor in Your eyes, my Lord, let my Lord go now in our midst, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance. And He said: Behold, I am making a covenant; before all your people I will do wonders such as have not been created in all the earth and among all the nations, and all the people in whose midst you are shall see the work of the LORD, for it is awesome, that which I am doing with you.
