1 And he said{H559}{(H8804)} unto Moses{H4872}, Come up{H5927}{(H8798)} unto the LORD{H3068}, thou, and Aaron{H175}, Nadab{H5070}, and Abihu{H30}, and seventy{H7657} of the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478}; and worship{H7812}{(H8694)} ye afar off{H7350}.

2 And Moses{H4872} alone shall come near{H5066}{(H8738)} the LORD{H3068}: but they shall not come nigh{H5066}{(H8799)}; neither shall the people{H5971} go up{H5927}{(H8799)} with him.

3 And Moses{H4872} came{H935}{(H8799)} and told{H5608}{(H8762)} the people{H5971} all the words{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, and all the judgments{H4941}: and all the people{H5971} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} with one{H259} voice{H6963}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, All the words{H1697} which the LORD{H3068} hath said{H1696}{(H8765)} will we do{H6213}{(H8799)}.

4 And Moses{H4872} wrote{H3789}{(H8799)} all the words{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, and rose up early{H7925}{(H8686)} in the morning{H1242}, and builded{H1129}{(H8799)} an altar{H4196} under the hill{H2022}, and twelve pillars{H4676}, according to the twelve{H8147}{H6240} tribes{H7626} of Israel{H3478}.

5 And he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} young men{H5288} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, which offered{H5927}{(H8686)} burnt offerings{H5930}, and sacrificed{H2076}{(H8799)} peace{H8002} offerings{H2077} of oxen{H6499} unto the LORD{H3068}.

6 And Moses{H4872} took{H3947}{(H8799)} half{H2677} of the blood{H1818}, and put{H7760}{(H8799)} it in basons{H101}; and half{H2677} of the blood{H1818} he sprinkled{H2236}{(H8804)} on the altar{H4196}.

7 And he took{H3947}{(H8799)} the book{H5612} of the covenant{H1285}, and read{H7121}{(H8799)} in the audience{H241} of the people{H5971}: and they said{H559}{(H8799)}, All that the LORD{H3068} hath said{H1696}{(H8765)} will we do{H6213}{(H8799)}, and be obedient{H8085}{(H8799)}.

8 And Moses{H4872} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the blood{H1818}, and sprinkled{H2236}{(H8799)} it on the people{H5971}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold the blood{H1818} of the covenant{H1285}, which the LORD{H3068} hath made{H3772}{(H8804)} with you concerning all these words{H1697}.

9 Then went up{H5927}{(H8799)} Moses{H4872}, and Aaron{H175}, Nadab{H5070}, and Abihu{H30}, and seventy{H7657} of the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478}:

10 And they saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}: and there was under his feet{H7272} as it were a paved{H3840} work{H4639} of a sapphire stone{H5601}, and as it were the body{H6106} of heaven{H8064} in his clearness{H2892}.

11 And upon the nobles{H678} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} he laid{H7971}{(H8804)} not his hand{H3027}: also they saw{H2372}{(H8799)} God{H430}, and did eat{H398}{(H8799)} and drink{H8354}{(H8799)}.

12 And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Moses{H4872}, Come up{H5927}{(H8798)} to me into the mount{H2022}, and be there: and I will give{H5414}{(H8799)} thee tables{H3871} of stone{H68}, and a law{H8451}, and commandments{H4687} which I have written{H3789}{(H8804)}; that thou mayest teach{H3384}{(H8687)} them.

13 And Moses{H4872} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)}, and his minister{H8334}{(H8764)} Joshua{H3091}: and Moses{H4872} went up{H5927}{(H8799)} into the mount{H2022} of God{H430}.

14 And he said{H559}{(H8804)} unto the elders{H2205}, Tarry{H3427}{(H8798)} ye here{H2088} for us, until we come again{H7725}{(H8799)} unto you: and, behold, Aaron{H175} and Hur{H2354} are with you: if any{H4310} man{H1167} have any matters{H1697} to do{H1167}, let him come{H5066}{(H8799)} unto them.

15 And Moses{H4872} went up{H5927}{(H8799)} into the mount{H2022}, and a cloud{H6051} covered{H3680}{(H8762)} the mount{H2022}.

16 And the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} abode{H7931}{(H8799)} upon mount{H2022} Sinai{H5514}, and the cloud{H6051} covered{H3680}{(H8762)} it six{H8337} days{H3117}: and the seventh{H7637} day{H3117} he called{H7121}{(H8799)} unto Moses{H4872} out of the midst{H8432} of the cloud{H6051}.

17 And the sight{H4758} of the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} was like devouring{H398}{(H8802)} fire{H784} on the top{H7218} of the mount{H2022} in the eyes{H5869} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

18 And Moses{H4872} went{H935}{(H8799)} into the midst{H8432} of the cloud{H6051}, and gat him up{H5927}{(H8799)} into the mount{H2022}: and Moses{H4872} was in the mount{H2022} forty{H705} days{H3117} and forty{H705} nights{H3915}.
