King James Version
Exodus • Chapter 24
1
And the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and you shall worship from a distance."
2
And Moses alone approached the LORD, but they shall not approach, and the people shall not 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 has spoken we will do."
4
And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and he rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5
And he sent the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings to the Lord, bulls.
6
And Moses took half of the blood and put it in the basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7
And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do and we will hear."
8
And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Here is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you concerning all these things."
9
And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
10
And they saw the God of Israel, and under His feet was like the work of a sapphire stone, and as the essence of the heavens in clarity.
11
And he did not lay his hand on the nobles of the sons of Israel, and they beheld God, and they ate and drank.
12
And the LORD said to Moses, "Ascend to Me on the mountain and be there, and I will give you the stone tablets and the law and the commandment that I have written to teach them."
13
And Moses rose up, and Joshua his assistant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14
And to the elders he said, "Sit here for us until we return to you, and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has matters, let him approach them."
15
And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16
And the glory of the LORD dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, and He called to Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.
17
And the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the children of Israel.
18
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud and ascended the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
