Exodus
Exod.24
[1] And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou,
and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;
and worship ye afar off.
[2] And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they
shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
[3] And Moses came and told the people all the words of
the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with
one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will
we do.
[4] And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up
early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and
twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
[5] And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which
offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen
unto the LORD.
[6] And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in
basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
[7] And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the
audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath
said will we do, and be obedient.
[8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the
people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the
LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
[9] Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and
seventy of the elders of Israel:
[10] And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under
his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it
were the body of heaven in his clearness.
[11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid
not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
[12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the
mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a
law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest
teach them.
[13] And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses
went up into the mount of God.
[14] And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us,
until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with
you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto
them.
[15] And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered
the mount.
[16] And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and
the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto
Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
[17] And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like
devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the
children of Israel.
[18] And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat
him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and
forty nights.
