Exodus 34:4-10 ▼

4 So Moses carved out two stone tablets like the first ones, got up early in the morning, and climbed Mount Sinai, just as the LORD had commanded him. He took with him the two stone tablets.

5 The LORD came down in a cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

6 The LORD passed in front of him and proclaimed, |The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and filled with gracious love and truth.

7 He graciously loves thousands, and forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin. But he does not leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the ancestors on their children, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.|

8 Moses quickly bowed to the ground and prostrated himself in worship.

9 He said, |If I've found favor in your sight, LORD, please, LORD, walk among us. Certainly this is an obstinate people, but pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your own inheritance.|

10 Then the LORD said, |I'm now going to make a covenant. I'll do miraculous deeds in full view of your people that haven't been done in all the earth or in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the LORD, because it's an awesome thing that I'll do with you.
