People Affirm Their Covenant with God

1Then He saidH559 to MosesH4872, “1ComeH5927 upH5927 to the LordH3068, you and AaronH175, 2NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, and 3seventyH7657 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and you shall worshipH2331 at a distanceH7350. 2MosesH4872 aloneH905, however, shall approachH5066 the LordH3068, but they shall not approachH5066, norH3808 shall the peopleH5971 comeH5927 upH5927 with him.”

3Then MosesH4872 cameH935 and reportedH5608 to the peopleH5971 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068 and allH3605 the 4ordinancesH4941; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 with oneH259 voiceH6963 and saidH559, “5AllH3605 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 we will doH6213!” 4And 6MosesH4872 wroteH3789 downH3789 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068. Then he gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and builtH1129 an 7altarH4196 8atH8478 theH8478 footH8478 ofH8478 the mountainH2022 with twelveH8147H6240 memorialH4676 stonesH4676 for the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 5And he sentH7971 youngH5288 menH5288 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 9and they offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificedH2076 bullsH6499 as peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 to the LordH3068. 610MosesH4872 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 11the BookH5612 of the CovenantH1285 and readH7121 it 12as the peopleH5971 listenedH241; and they saidH559, “13AllH3605 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 we will doH6213, and we will beH8085 obedientH8085!” 8So 14MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bloodH1818 and sprinkledH2236 it on the peopleH5971, and saidH559, “BeholdH2009 15the bloodH1818 of the covenantH1285, whichH834 the LordH3068 has 16madeH3772 with you 17inH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697.”

9Then MosesH4872 wentH5927 upH5927 18with AaronH175, 19NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, and seventyH7657 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, 10and 20they sawH7200 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; and underH8478 His feetH7272 2122there appeared to be a pavementH3843 of sapphireH5601, 23as clearH2892 as the skyH8064 itselfH6106. 11Yet He did not reachH7971 outH7971 with His handH3027 againstH413 the noblesH678 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and 24they sawH2372 GodH430, and they ateH398 and drankH8354.

12Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ComeH5927 upH5927 to Me on the mountainH2022 and 25stayH1961 thereH8033, and 26I will giveH5414 you the stoneH68 tabletsH3871 27with the LawH8451 and the 28commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I have writtenH3789 for their instructionH3384.” 13So MosesH4872 gotH6965 upH6965 29along with 30JoshuaH3091 his 31servantH8334, and MosesH4872 wentH5927 upH5927 to 32the mountainH2022 of GodH430. 14But to the eldersH2205 he saidH559, “33WaitH3427 hereH2088 for us untilH5704H834 we returnH7725 to you. And beholdH2009, 34AaronH175 and HurH2354 are with you; whoeverH4310 35has a legal matterH1697, have him approachH5066 them.” 15Then MosesH4872 wentH5927 upH5927 to the mountainH2022, and 36the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 the mountainH2022. 1637The gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 38settledH7931 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514, and the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it for sixH8337 daysH3117; and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 He 39calledH7121 to MosesH4872 from the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051. 1740And to the eyesH5869 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, the appearanceH4758 of the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 was like a 41consumingH398 fireH784 on the mountainH2022 topH7218. 18Then MosesH4872 enteredH935 the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051 42as he wentH5927 upH5927 to the mountainH2022; and MosesH4872 was on the mountainH2022 for 43fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.
