(Exodus 34:23-30)
"Three times a year all of your men must come to worship me, the Lord, the God of Israel. After I have driven out the nations before you and extended your territory, no one will try to conquer your country during the three festivals.
"Do not offer bread made with yeast when you sacrifice an animal to me. Do not keep until the following morning any part of the animal killed at the Passover Festival.
"Each year bring to the house of the Lord the first grain that you harvest. Do not cook a young sheep or goat in it's mother's milk."
The Lord said to Moses, "Write these words down, because it is on the basis of these words that I am making a covenant with you and Israel." Moses stayed there with the Lord forty days and forty nights, eating and drinking nothing. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant-- the Ten Commandments.
When Moses went down from Mount Sinai carrying the ten commandments, his face was shining because he had been speaking with the Lord, but he did not know it. Aaron and all the people looked at Moses and saw that his face was shining, and they were afraid to go near him.
