Renewed obligations

10And he said, “Look, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will do wonders such as have not been created in all the earth or among any of the nations. And all the people in whose midst you are will see the work of the LORD, for what I am doing with you is awe-inspiring.”

11Keep what I am commanding you today. Behold, I am driving out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

12Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst.

13Instead, you shall tear down their altars, shatter their pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles.

14For you shall not bow down to another god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they prostitute themselves after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat from his sacrifice.

16and you take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters prostitute themselves after their gods and make your sons prostitute themselves after their gods.

17You shall not make cast-metal gods for yourself.

18You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.

19Every firstborn of the womb is mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep.

20You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem every firstborn of your sons. And none shall appear before me empty-handed.

21Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall cease; in plowing time and in harvest you shall cease.

22And you shall observe for yourself the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

23Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

24For I will drive out nations from before you and enlarge your border, and no man will covet your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times in the year.

25You shall not slaughter the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, and the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not remain until the morning.

26You shall bring the first of the firstfruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

27Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Write these words for yourself, for according to these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

28And he was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.
