Chapter 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.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.'  

 

 

--

3


 

  Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, 'All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.'  

 

 

--

4


 

  Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.  

 

 

--

5


 

  He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen to Yahweh.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.  

 

 

--

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.'  

 

 

--

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.'  

 

 

--

9


 

  Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.  

 

 

--

10


 

  They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.  

 

 

--

11


 

  He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Yahweh said to Moses, 'Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.'  

 

 

--

13


 

  Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.  

 

 

--

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.'  

 

 

--

15


 

  Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The glory of Yahweh 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.  

 

 

--

17


 

  The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.  

 

 

--

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.
