Exodus 34:1

Moses
Covenant and promises
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

2 Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.

3 No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
