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.
02 And Moses alone shall come near the
Lord: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall
the people go up with him.
03 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.
04 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.
05 And he sent young men of the children of
Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and
sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord.
06 And Moses took half of the blood, and
put it in basons; and half of the blood he
sprinkled on the altar.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
