And made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. And he said, If now I have found in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. And he said, Behold, I make a : before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. The shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month : for in the month thou camest out from . All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether or , that is male. But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a : and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty. Six days thou shalt work, but the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. And thou shalt observe the , of the of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end. Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of . For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of be left unto the morning. The first of the of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
