Moses Goes Up Mount Sinai a Second Time

The Lord said to Moses,
"Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones,
and I will write on them the words
that were on the first tablets,
which you broke.
Be ready in the morning,
and then come up on Mount Sinai.
Present yourself to Me there on top of the mountain.

So Moses chiseled out
two stone tablets like the first ones
and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning,
as the Lord had commanded him;
and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.

Moses was there with the Lord
forty days and forty nights
without eating bread or drinking water.
And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant --
the Ten Commandments.

(Exodus 34:1-2, 4,28)
