 Exodus 34:1- 28 The New Stone Tablets

Read Exodus 34:1-28 here

The next day Moses was to go back up on Mount Sinai.  He was to come alone and to have new tables that he was to make to replace the ones that he broke.  He did as God told him.  When he was on the mountain he stood with the Lord.   

Exodus 34:6-7

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.”

Moses bowed down and worshiped the Lord and once again asked him to go with them.  God told him that he would and said that he would do amazing things not seen before among them.  God told Moses he would drive out:

1. Amorites

2. Canaanites

3. Hitites

4. Perizzites

5. Hivites 

6. Jebusites

God also told them to not make a treaty with them because they will be a snare among them.  They were to:

1. Not make a treaty

2. Break down their altars

3. Smash their sacred stones

4. Cut down their Asherah poles

5. Don’t worship their gods

6. Don’t marry them

7. Don’t make cast idols

The Lord told the Israelites to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  For seven days eat bread that is made without yeast.  The first offspring of everything born was to be the lord’s.  

Exodus 34:24

I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the LORD your God.

Moses was with God for forty days and nights without eating or drinking.
