And they rofe up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people fat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 7 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughteft out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8 They have turned afide quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have facrificed thereunto, and faid, Thefe be thy gods, O Ifrael, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, I have feen this people, and, behold, it is a ftiffnecked people: Io Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may confume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. II And Mofes befought the LORD his God, and faid, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou haft brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore fhould the Egyptians fpeak, and fay, For mischief did he bring them out, to flay them in the mountains, and to confume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Ifaac, and Ifrael, thy fervants, to whom thou fwarest by thine ownfelf, and faidft unto them, I will multiply your feed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have fpoken Mofes breaketh the two tables. Chap. xxxiii. Ipoken of will I give unto your feed, and they fhall inherit it for ever. 14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 15 And Mofes turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the teftimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their fides; on the one fide and on the other were they written. 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17 And when Jofhua heard the noife of the people as they fhouted, he faid unto Mofes, There is a noife of war in the camp. 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that fing do I hear. 19 T And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he faw the calf, and the dancing: and Mofes' anger waxed hot, and he caft the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and ftrawed it upon the water, and made the children of Ifrael drink of it. 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou haft brought fo great a fin upon them? 22 And Aaron faid, Let not the anger The Lord refufeth to go with Ifrael, 28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Mofes : and there fell of the people that day about three thoufand men. 29 For Mofes had faid, Confecratę yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his fon, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a bleffing this day. 30 And it came to pafs on the mor row, that Mofes faid unto the people, Ye have finned a great fin: and now will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your fin. 31 And Mofes returned unto the LORD, and faid, Oh, this people have finned a great fin, and have made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their fin---; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou haft written. 33 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Whofoever hath finned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel fhall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I vifit I will vilit their fin upon them. 35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 9 CHAP. XXXIII. The Lord refufeth to go with the people. ND the LORD faid unto Mofes, of my lord wax hot: thou knoweft the people, that they are fet on mifchief. 23 For they faid unto me, Make us the people which thou haft brought up gods, which fhall go before us: for as out of the land of Egypt, unto the land for this Mofes, the man that brought us which I fware unto Abraham, to Ifaac, up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not and to Jacob, faying, Unto thy feed what is become of him. will I give it : 24 And I said unto them, Whofoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I caft it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 25 T And when Mofes faw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their fhame among their enemies :) 26 Then Mofes ftood in the gate of the camp, and faid, Who is on the LORD's fide? let him come unto me. And all the fons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 27 And he said unto them, Thus faith the LORD God of Ifrael, Put every man his fword by his fide, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and flay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 2 And I will fend an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebufite: 3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midft of thee; for thou art a ftiffnecked people: left I confume thee in the way. 4 And when the people heard thefe evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 5 For the LORD had said unto Mofes, Say unto the children of Ifrael, Ye are a ftiffnecked people: I will come up into the midft of thee in a moment, and confume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Ifrael stripped F 2 them EXODUS. God talketh with Mofes. themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 7 And Mofes took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pafs, that every one which fought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. 8 And it came to pafs, when Mofes went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rofe up, and food every man at his tent door, and looked after Mofes, until he was gone into the tabernacle. The two tables renewed. 20 And he said, Thou canst not fee my face for there shall no man fee me, and live. 21 And the LORD faid, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22 And it fhall come to pafs, while my glory paffeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pafs by: 9 ¶ And it came to pafs, as Mofes en-1 tered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar defcended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Mofes. 10 And all the people faw the cloudy pillar ftand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. II And the LORD fpake unto Mofes face to face, as a man fpeaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his fervant Jofhua, the fon of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 12 And Mofes faid unto the LORD, See, thou fayelt unto me, Bring up this people and thou haft not let me know whom thou wilt fend with me. Yet thou haft faid, I know thee by name, and thou haft alfo found grace in my fight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy fight, thew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that J may find grace in thy fight: and confi. der that this nation is thy people. 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou fhalt fee my back parts: but my face fhall not be feen.

And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. 29 And it came to pafs, when Mofes came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Mofes wift not that the fkin of his face fhone while he talked with him, 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Ifrael faw Mofes, hehold, the fkin of his face fhone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31 And Mofes called unto them; and 16 And thou take of their daughters Aaron and all the rulers of the congregaI unto thy fons, and their daughters go a tion returned unto him: and Mofas talkwhoring after their gods, and make thy led with them. fons go a whoring after their gods. 17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 32 And afterward all the children of Ifrael came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33 And till Mofes had done fpeaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 18 The feast of unleavened bread fhalt thou keep.
