Exodus 24:1-18

Chapter 24
1 He said to Moses, "Go up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel, and you shall worship from afar." 2 Moses shall draw near alone to the LORD, but they shall not draw near, and the people shall not go up with him. 3 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 that 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 under the mountain and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 He sent the young men of the sons of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings to the LORD, bulls. 6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw on the altar. 7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, all that the LORD had spoken, and they said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will obey." 8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Behold, the blood of the covenant that the LORD has cut with you concerning all these words." 9 Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up. 10 And they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was the work of sapphire brick, and like the bone of the heavens for purity. 11 And he did not lay his hand on the nobles of the sons of Israel, and they saw God, and they ate and drank. 12 And the LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone and the Torah and the commandment which I have written to instruct them." 13 And Moses arose, with his servant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. 14 And he said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we return to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is a possessor of words will approach them." 15 And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. 16 And the glory of the LORD dwelt upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. And he called to Moses on the seventh day from within the cloud. 17 The appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel. 18 And Moses entered the midst of the cloud and went up to the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
