02:024:001 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.
02:024:002 And Moses alone shall come near the lord:
but they shall not
come
nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
02:024:003 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.
02:024:004 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.
02:024:005 And he sent young men of the children of
Israel, which offered
burnt
offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto
the
lord.
02:024:006 And Moses took half of the blood, and put
it in basons; and
half
of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
02:024:007 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.
02:024:008 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.
02:024:009 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and
Abihu, and seventy
of
the elders of Israel:
02:024:010 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.
02:024:011 And upon the nobles of the children of
Israel he laid not his
hand:
also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
02:024:012 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.
02:024:013 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua:
and Moses went up
into
the mount of God.
02:024:014 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.
02:024:015 And Moses went up into the mount, and a
cloud covered the
mount.
02:024:016 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.
