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.
