| 24.1 |
He said to Moses, “Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance. |
| 24.2 |
Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.” |
| 24.3 |
Moses came and told the people all Yahweh’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.” |
| 24.4 |
Moses wrote all Yahweh’s words, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 24.5 |
He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh. |
| 24.6 |
Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. |
| 24.7 |
He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient.” |
| 24.8 |
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.” |
| 24.9 |
Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up. |
| 24.10 |
They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness. |
| 24.11 |
He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank. |
| 24.12 |
Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.” |
| 24.13 |
Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain. |
| 24.14 |
He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.” |
| 24.15 |
Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. |
| 24.16 |
Yahweh’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. |
| 24.17 |
The appearance of Yahweh’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. |
| 24.18 |
Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights. |
