Moses is instructed by God to carve two new stone tablets, as God will re-inscribe the commandments on them. God calls Moses back to Mount Sinai, signaling the renewal of the covenant despite Israel's rebellion. As Moses seeks a deeper understanding of God's glory, God reveals His name, unveiling a profound aspect of His character.

Yahweh, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin, yet who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation.

This revelation serves to deepen Israel’s understanding of how to relate to God as a people still in need of redemption. God’s nature—merciful, gracious, patient, and abounding in steadfast love—is key to their ongoing relationship with Him. Frances Hogan outlines the first six attributes revealed by God, drawing connections between the Old Testament passage and New Testament themes.
