27. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write down the words I have spoken. I have made a covenant with you and with Israel in keeping with those words."
28. 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. Those words are the Ten Commandments.
29. Moses came down from Mount Sinai. He had the two tablets of the covenant in his hands. His face was shining because he had spoken with the Lord. But he didn't realize it.
30. Aaron and all of the people of Israel saw Moses. His face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him.
31. But Moses called out to them. So Aaron and all of the leaders of the community came to him. And Moses spoke to them.
32. After that, all of the people came near him. And he gave them all of the commands the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
33. Moses finished speaking to them. Then he put a veil over his face.
