“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.” (Ex 24:1-18 AV)
