Exodus 24

People Affirm Their Covenant with God

1Then He said to Moses, “1Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, 2Nadab and Abihu and 3seventy of the elders of Israel, and you shall worship at a distance. 2Moses alone, however, shall come near to the Lord, but they shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him.”

3Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the 4ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, “5All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!” 46Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an 7altar 8at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. 5He sent young men of the sons of Israel, 9and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord. 610Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7Then he took 11the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “12All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!” 8So 13Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold 14the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has 15made with you 16in accordance with all these words.”

9Then Moses went up 17with Aaron, 18Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10and 19they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet 2021there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, 22as clear as the sky itself. 11Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and 23they saw God, and they ate and drank.

12Now the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and 24remain there, and 25I will give you the stone tablets 26with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.” 13So Moses arose 27with 28Joshua his 29servant, and Moses went up to 30the mountain of God. 14But to the elders he said, “31Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, 32Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever 33has a legal matter, let him approach them.” 15Then Moses went up to the mountain, and 34the cloud covered the mountain. 1635The glory of the Lord 36rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He 37called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. 1738And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a 39consuming fire on the mountain top. 18Moses entered the midst of the cloud 40as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain 41forty days and forty nights.
