6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ^d“The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and ^egracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast ^flove and faithfulness, 7 ^gkeeping steadfast love for thousands,^{1 h}forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but ⁱwho will by no means clear the guilty, ^jvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”

10 And he said, “Behold, ^oI am making a covenant. Before all your people ^pI will do marvels, such as have not been created in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is an ^qawesome thing that I will do with you.

27 And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words ^rI have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 ^sSo he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights. He neither ate bread nor drank water. And he ^twrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.¹
