Exodus 24
- 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.
