< previous EXODUS - CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR next >
1 He said to Moses, “Come up to Jehovah, you, and
Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from
a distance. 2 Moses alone shall come near to Jehovah, but they shall not
come near. The people shall not go up with him.”
3 Moses came and told the people all Jehovah’s
words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and
said, “All the words which Jehovah has spoken will we do.”
4 Moses wrote all Jehovah’s words, and rose up
early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars
for the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 He sent young men of the children of
Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to
Jehovah. 6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of
the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 He took the book of the covenant
and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “All that Jehovah has
spoken will we do, and be obedient.”
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the
people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Jehovah has
made with you concerning all these words.”
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of
the elders of Israel went up. 10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his
feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness. 11 He
didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and
ate and drank.
12 Jehovah said to Moses, “Come up to me on the
mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and
the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and
Moses went up onto God’s Mountain. 14 He said to the elders, “Wait here
for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever
is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud
covered the mountain. 16 Jehovah’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the
cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle
of the cloud. 17 The appearance of Jehovah’s glory was like devouring fire
on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 Moses
entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses
was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
