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 .
