Exodus 34:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ No one must come with you. No one must be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks and herds must be allowed to eat grass in front of the mountain.”

⁴ So Moses carved out two stone tablets just like the first ones. Early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai. He carried the two stone tablets in his hands. He did as the Lord had commanded him to do. ⁵ Then the Lord came down in the cloud. He stood there with Moses and announced his name, the Lord.
