Exodus 24:12-18

12Now the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commandments which I have written for their instruction.”

13So Moses arose with Joshua his attendant, and he went up to the mountain of God.

14And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Remember that Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a legal matter, let him go to them.”

15Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

16The glory and brilliance of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day God called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.

17In the sight of the Israelites the appearance of the glory and brilliance of the Lord was like consuming fire on the top of the mountain.

18Moses entered the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain; and he was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
