Exodus 34:2-8 Good News Bible (GNB)

2. Be ready tomorrow morning, and come up Mount Sinai to meet me there at the top.

3. No one is to come up with you; no one is to be seen on any part of the mountain; and no sheep or cattle are to graze at the foot of the mountain.”

4. So Moses cut two more stone tablets, and early the next morning he carried them up Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded.

5. The Lord came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and pronounced his holy name, the Lord.

6. The Lord then passed in front of him and called out, “I, the Lord, am a God who is full of compassion and pity, who is not easily angered and who shows 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 parents.”

8. Moses quickly bowed down to the ground and worshipped.
