Chapter 34 of Exodus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now the LORD said to Moses, “Cut out for yourself 1two stone tablets like the former ones, and 2I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered.
  2. So be ready by morning, and come up in the morning to 3Mount Sinai, and [a]present yourself there to Me on the top of the mountain.
  3. 4No man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen [b]anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds may not graze in front of that mountain.”
  4. So he cut out 5two stone tablets like the former ones, and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and he took two stone tablets in his hand.
  5. 6The LORD descended in the cloud and stood there with him as [c]he called upon the name of the LORD.
  6. Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, 7compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and [d]truth;
  7. who 8keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He 9will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, 10visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
  8. Moses made haste [e]11to bow low toward the earth and worship.
  9. He said, “12If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though [f]13the people are so obstinate, and 14pardon our iniquity and our sin, and 15take us as Your own [g]possession.”
  10. ¶ Then [h]God said, “Behold, 16I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people 17I will perform miracles which have not been [i]produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people [j]among whom you live will see the working of the LORD, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.
  11. ¶ “[k]Be sure to observe what I am commanding you this day: behold, 18I am going to drive out the Amorite before you, and the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.
  12. 19Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst.
  13. 20But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their [l]21Asherim
  14. —for 22you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—
  15. otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and 23sacrifice to their gods, and someone 24might invite you [m]to eat of his sacrifice,
  16. and 25you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods.
  17. 26You shall make for yourself no molten gods.
  18. ¶ “You shall observe 27the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For 28seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, [n]as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the 29month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
  19. ¶ “30The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from [o]cattle and sheep.
  20. 31You shall redeem with a lamb the [p]first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem 32all the firstborn of your sons. [q]33None shall appear before Me empty-handed.
  21. ¶ “You shall work 34six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest.
  22. You shall celebrate 35the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
  23. 36Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord [r]GOD, the God of Israel.
  24. For I will [s]37drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
  25. ¶ “38You shall not [t]offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, 39nor is the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover to [u]be left over until morning.
  26. ¶ “You shall bring 40the very first of the first fruits of your soil into the house of the LORD your God.
    ¶ “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
  27. ¶ Then the LORD said to Moses, “41Write [v]down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made 42a covenant with you and with Israel.”
  28. So he was there with the LORD 43forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And [w]44he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, 45the Ten [x]Commandments.
  29. ¶ It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the 46two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that 47the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.
  30. So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and 48they were afraid to come near him.
  31. Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.
  32. Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the LORD had spoken [y]to him on Mount Sinai.
  33. When Moses had finished speaking with them, 49he put a veil over his face.
  34. But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, 50he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded,
  35. 51the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. So Moses would replace the veil over his face until he went in to speak with Him.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
