No, I didn't say the 24th chapter; I said the 20th, which you quoted -- looks like the King James version, maybe? -- and the 34th.

The second version of the Ten Commandments comes right after Yahweh tells Moses to cut another set of tablets:

34:13 Beware of making an alliance with the inhabitants of the land against which you are going, or they will prove a snare in your midst.

34:14 You are not to bow in worship to any other god, for the Lord's name is the Jeasous God, and a jealous God he is.

34:15 Avoid any alliance with the inhabitants of the land, or, when they go wantonly after their gods and sacrifice to them, you, any one of you, may be invited to partake of their sacrifices,

34:16 and marry your sons to their daughters, and when their daughters go wantonly after their gods, they may lead your sons astray too.

34:17 Do not make yourselves gods of cast metal.

34:18 You are to celebrate the pilgrim-feast of Unleavened Bread: for seven days, as I have commanded you, you are to eat unleavened bread at the appointed time in the month of Abib, because it was in Abib that you came out of Egypt.

34:19 The first birth of every womb belongs to me, the males of all your herds, both cattle and sheep.

34:20 The first birth of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. Every firstborn among your sons you must redeem, and no one is to come into my presence without an offering.

34:21 For six days you may work, but on the seventh abstain from work; even at ploughing time and harvest you must cease work.

34:22 You are to observe the pilgrim-feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the pilgrim-feast of the Ingathering at the turn of the year.

34:23 Those three times a year all your males are eto come into the presence of the Lord, the Lord the God of Israel;

34:24 for after I have dispossessed the nations before you and extended your frontiers, there will be no danger from covetous neighbours when you go up those three times to enter the presence of the Lord your God.

34:25 Do not offer the blood of my sacrifice at the same time as anything leavened; nor is any portion of the victim of the pilgrim-feast of Passover to remain overnight till morning.

34:26 You must bring the choicest firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. Do not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

34:27 The Lord said to Moses, "Write these words down, because the covenant I make with you and with Israel is on those terms."

34:28 So Moses remained there wtih the Lord forty days and forty nights without food or drink. The Lord wrote down the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments, on the tablets.
