15 1lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they 2whore after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and 3you are invited, you eat of his sacrifice,
16 and you take of 4their daughters for your sons, and their daughters 5whore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods.
17 6“You shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal.
18 7“You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in 8the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
19 9All that open the womb are mine, all your male[a] livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep.
20 The 10firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And 11none shall appear before me empty-handed.
21 12“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
22 13You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end.
23 14Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.
24 For I will 15cast out nations before you and 16enlarge your borders; 17no one shall covet your land, when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.
25 18“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, 19or let the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover remain until the morning.

Exodus 34:15-25 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 34

In this chapter Moses has orders to hew two tables of stone, that God might write on them the ten commands, and bring them up with him to the mount, Ex 34:1-4 where the Lord proclaimed his name, and caused his glory and his goodness to pass before him, Ex 34:5-7 when Moses took this favourable opportunity that offered to pray for the people, that God would forgive their sin, and go along with them, Ex 34:8,9 upon which he made a covenant with them, which on his part was to do wonders for them, and drive out the inhabitants of Canaan before them; and on their part, that they should have no confederacy and communion with these nations, and shun their idolatry, and everything that might lead unto it, Ex 34:10-17 and he repeated several laws before given, and urged the observance of them, which Moses was to acquaint the people with, Ex 34:18-27 and after a stay of forty days and forty nights on the mount, he came down with the two tables of the law; and the skin of his face shone so bright, that the people of Israel were afraid to come nigh him, and therefore he put a vail over his face while he conversed with them, Ex 34:28-35.
