Chapter 24

And he said¹ unto Moses, Come up³ unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship⁹⁸ ye afar off.

And Moses alone shall come near⁸ the LORD: but they shall not come nigh;⁴ neither shall the people go up⁴ with him.

And Moses came⁴ and told¹⁷ the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered⁴ with one voice, and said,⁴ All the words which the LORD hath said¹⁴ will we do.⁴

And Moses wrote⁴ all the words of the LORD, and rose up early⁵⁵ in the morning, and builded⁴ an altar under the hill, and twelve ⁶²⁴⁰ pillars, according to the twelve ⁶²⁴⁰ tribes of Israel.

And he sent⁴ young men of the children of Israel, which offered⁵⁵ burnt offerings, and sacrificed⁴ peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

And Moses took⁴ half of the blood, and put⁴ [it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled¹ on the altar.

And he took⁴ the book of the covenant, and read⁴ in the audience of the people: and they said,⁴ All that the LORD hath said¹⁴ will we do,⁴ and be obedient.⁴

And Moses took⁴ the blood, and sprinkled⁴ [it] on the people, and said,⁴ Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made¹ with you concerning all these words.

Then went up⁴ Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

And they saw⁴ 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.

And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid¹ not his hand: also they saw⁴ God, and did eat⁴ and drink.⁴

And the LORD said⁴ unto Moses, Come up³ to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give⁴ thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written;¹ that thou mayest teach⁵³ them.

And Moses rose up,⁴ and his minister¹⁸ Joshua: and Moses went up⁴ into the mount of God.

And he said¹ unto the elders, Tarry³ ye here for us, until we come again⁴ unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come⁴ unto them.

And Moses went up⁴ into the mount, and a cloud covered¹⁷ the mount.

And the glory of the LORD abode⁴ upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered¹⁷ it six days: and the seventh day he called⁴ unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

And the sight of the glory of the LORD [was] like devouring⁶ fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

And Moses went⁴ into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up⁴ into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
