Chapter 24 |
| 1 | And he said
unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and
seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. |
| 2 | And Moses
alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the
people go up with him. |
| 3 | And Moses came and told the people all the
words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one
voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. |
| 4 |
And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning,
and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the
twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 5 | And he sent young men of the children of
Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen
unto the LORD. |
|
6 | And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in
basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. |
| 7 | And he
took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they
said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. |
| 8 | And
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the
blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these
words. |
| 9 |
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy
of the elders of Israel: |
|
10 | And they saw the God of Israel: and
there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it
were the body of heaven in his clearness. |
|
11 | And upon the nobles of the
children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and
drink. |
| 12
| And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the
mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and
commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. |
| 13 | And
Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of
God. |
| 14 |
And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we
come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have
any matters to do, let him come unto them. |
|
15 | And Moses went up into
the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. |
|
16 | And the glory of the LORD
abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day
he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. |
| 17 | And the
sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount
in the eyes of the children of Israel. |
| 18 | And Moses went into the midst
of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty
days and forty nights. |
