Exodus 24:3-18
3Then MosesH4872 cameH935 and recountedH5608 to the peopleH5971 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068 and allH3605 the 1ordinancesH4941; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 with oneH259 voiceH6963 and saidH559, “2AllH3605 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 we will doH6213!” 43MosesH4872 wroteH3789 downH3789 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068. Then he aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and builtH1129 an 4altarH4196 5at the footH8478 of the mountainH2022 with twelveH8147H6240 pillarsH4676 for the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 5He sentH7971 youngH5288 menH5288 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 6and they offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificedH2076 youngH6499 bullsH6499 as peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 to the LordH3068. 67MosesH4872 tookH3947 halfH2677 of the bloodH1818 and putH7760 it in basinsH101, and the other halfH2677 of the bloodH1818 he sprinkledH2236 on the altarH4196. 7Then he tookH3947 8the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 and readH7121 it in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971; and they saidH559, “9AllH3605 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 we will doH6213, and we will be obedientH8085!” 8So 10MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bloodH1818 and sprinkledH2236 it on the peopleH5971, and saidH559, “BeholdH2009 11the bloodH1818 of the covenantH1285, whichH834 the LordH3068 has 12madeH3772 with you 13in accordanceH5921 with allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697.”
9Then MosesH4872 wentH5927 up 14with AaronH175, 15NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, and seventyH7657 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, 10and 16they sawH7200 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; and underH8478 His feetH7272 1718there appeared to be a pavementH3843 of sapphireH5601, 19as clearH2892 as the skyH8064 itselfH6106. 11Yet He did not stretchH7971 out His handH3027 againstH413 the noblesH678 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and 20they sawH2372 GodH430, and they ateH398 and drankH8354.
12Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ComeH5927 up to Me on the mountainH2022 and 21remainH1961 thereH8033, and 22I will giveH5414 you the stoneH68 tabletsH3871 23with the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687 whichH834 I have writtenH3789 for their instructionH3384.” 13So MosesH4872 aroseH6965 24with 25JoshuaH3091 his 26servantH8334, and MosesH4872 wentH5927 up to 27the mountainH2022 of GodH430. 14But to the eldersH2205 he saidH559, “28WaitH3427 hereH2088 for us untilH5704H834 we returnH7725 to you. And beholdH2009, 29AaronH175 and HurH2354 are with you; whoeverH4310 30has a legal matterH1697, let him approachH5066 them.” 15Then MosesH4872 wentH5927 up to the mountainH2022, and 31the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 the mountainH2022. 1632The gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 33restedH7931 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514, and the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it for sixH8337 daysH3117; and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 He 34calledH7121 to MosesH4872 from the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051. 1735And to the eyesH5869 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 the appearanceH4758 of the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 was like a 36consumingH398 fireH784 on the mountainH2022 topH7218. 18MosesH4872 enteredH935 the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051 37as he wentH5927 up to the mountainH2022; and MosesH4872 was on the mountainH2022 38fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.
