Exodus 24:6-18

6 1MosesH4872 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 2the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 and readH7121 it in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971; and they saidH559, “3AllH3605 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 we will doH6213, and we will be obedientH8085!” 8So 4MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bloodH1818 and sprinkledH2236 it on the peopleH5971, and saidH559, “BeholdH2009 5the bloodH1818 of the covenantH1285, whichH834 the LordH3068 has 6madeH3772 with you 7in accordanceH5921 with allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697.”

9Then MosesH4872 wentH5927 up 8with AaronH175, 9NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, and seventyH7657 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, 10and 10they sawH7200 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; and underH8478 His feetH7272 11 12there appeared to be a pavementH3843 of sapphireH5601, 13as clearH2892 as the skyH8064 itselfH6106. 11Yet He did not stretchH7971 out His handH3027 againstH413 the noblesH678 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and 14they sawH2372 GodH430, and they ateH398 and drankH8354.

12Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ComeH5927 up to Me on the mountainH2022 and 15remainH1961 thereH8033, and 16I will giveH5414 you the stoneH68 tabletsH3871 17with the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687 whichH834 I have writtenH3789 for their instructionH3384.” 13So MosesH4872 aroseH6965 18with 19JoshuaH3091 his 20servantH8334, and MosesH4872 wentH5927 up to 21the mountainH2022 of GodH430. 14But to the eldersH2205 he saidH559, “22WaitH3427 hereH2088 for us untilH5704 H834 we returnH7725 to you. And beholdH2009, 23AaronH175 and HurH2354 are with you; whoeverH4310 24has a legal matterH1697, let him approachH5066 them.” 15Then MosesH4872 wentH5927 up to the mountainH2022, and 25the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 the mountainH2022. 16 26The gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 27restedH7931 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514, and the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it for sixH8337 daysH3117; and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 He 28calledH7121 to MosesH4872 from the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051. 17 29And to the eyesH5869 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 the appearanceH4758 of the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 was like a 30consumingH398 fireH784 on the mountainH2022 topH7218. 18MosesH4872 enteredH935 the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051 31as he wentH5927 up to the mountainH2022; and MosesH4872 was on the mountainH2022 32fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.
