So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform,[ even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

And he revealed to you the covenant he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments, writing them on two stone tablets.

He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets.

Moses was there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights. He didn’t eat any food or drink any water. The Lord wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant law. Those words are the Ten Commandments.

The Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai. Then he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law. They were made out of stone. The words on them were written by the finger of God.

The Lord said to Moses,“ Come up to me on the mountain. Stay here. I will give you the stone tablets. They contain the law and commandments I have written to teach the people.”

I went up the mountain. I went there to receive the tablets of the covenant law. They were made out of stone. It was the covenant the Lord had made with you. I stayed on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights. I didn’t eat any food or drink any water.The Lord gave me two stone tablets. The words on them were written by the finger of God. All the commandments the Lord gave you were written on the tablets. He announced them to you out of the fire on the mountain. He wrote them on the day you gathered together there.The 40 days and 40 nights came to an end. Then the Lord gave me the two stone tablets. They were the tablets of the covenant law.

At that time the Lord spoke to me. He said,“ Carve out two stone tablets, just like the first ones. Then come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you must put the tablets in the ark.”So I made the ark out of acacia wood. I carved out two stone tablets that were just like the first ones. I went up the mountain. I carried the two tablets in my hands.The Lord wrote on the tablets what he had written before. It was the Ten Commandments. He had announced them to you out of the fire on the mountain. It was on the day you had gathered together there. So the Lord gave the tablets to me.Then I came back down the mountain. I put the tablets in the ark I had made, just as the Lord had commanded me. And that’s where they are now.

Now obey me completely. Keep my covenant. If you do, then out of all the nations you will be my special treasure. The whole earth is mine.

The people of Israel saw the glory of the Lord. It looked like a fire burning on top of the mountain.Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. He stayed on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights.

It had the golden altar for incense. It also had the wooden chest called the ark of the covenant. The ark was covered with gold. It held the gold jar of manna. It held Aaron’s walking stick that had budded. It also held the stone tablets. The words of the covenant were written on them.

Moses sent for all the Israelites. Here is what he said to them. Israel, listen to me. Here are the rules and laws I’m announcing to you today. Learn them well. Be sure to obey them.The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Mount Horeb.He didn’t make it only with our people of long ago. He also made it with us. In fact, he made it with all of us who are alive here today.The Lord spoke to you face to face. His voice came out of the fire on the mountain.At that time I stood between the Lord and you. I announced to you the Lord’ s message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn’t go up the mountain. The Lord said,“ I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.“ Do not put any other gods in place of me.“ Do not make statues of gods that look like anything in the sky or on the earth or in the waters.Do not bow down to them or worship them. I am the Lord your God. I want you to worship only me. I cause the sins of the parents to affect their children. I will cause the sins of those who hate me to affect even their grandchildren and great- grandchildren.But for all time to come I show love to all those who love me and keep my commandments.“ Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will find guilty anyone who misuses his name.“ Keep the Sabbath day holy. Do this just as the Lord your God has commanded you.Do all your work in six days.But the seventh day is a sabbath to honor the Lord your God. Do not do any work on that day. The same command applies to your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen, your donkeys and your other animals. It also applies to any outsiders who live in your towns. I want your male and female servants to rest, just as you do.Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. The Lord your God reached out his mighty hand and powerful arm and brought you out of there. So the Lord your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day holy.“ Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has commanded you. Then you will live a long time in the land he is giving you. And things will go well with you there.“ Do not murder.“ Do not commit adultery.“ Do not steal.“ Do not be a false witness against your neighbor.“ Do not want to have your neighbor’s wife. Do not desire anything your neighbor owns. Do not desire to have your neighbor’s house or land, male or female servant, ox or donkey.”

Moses first announced every command of the law to all the people. Then he took the blood of calves. He also took water, bright red wool and branches of a hyssop plant. He sprinkled the Book of the Covenant. He also sprinkled all the people.He said,“ This is the blood of the covenant God has commanded you to keep.”( Exodus 24:8)

The Law was written in letters on stone. Even though it was a way of serving God, it led to death. But even that way of serving God came with glory. The glory lasted for only a short time. Even so, the people of Israel couldn’t look at Moses’ face very long.
