Exodus
Chapter 24
Moses Builds an altar
24:1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron,
Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ; and
worship you afar off.
24:2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD but they shall
not come near ; neither shall the people go up with him.
24:3 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 has said will we
do.
24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up
early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and
twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
24:5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which
offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.
24:6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put [it] in
basins ; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the
audience of the people and they said, All that the LORD has said
will we do, and be obedient.
24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the
people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the
LORD has made with you concerning all these words.
Moses ascends the mount
24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and
seventy of the elders of Israel
24:10 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.
24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid
not his hand also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
24:12 And the LORD said to Moses, Come up to me into the
mount, and be there and I will give ya'll tables of stone, and a
law, and commandments which I have written ; that you may teach
them.
24:13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua and Moses
went up into the mount of God.
24:14 And he said to the elders, Tarry you here for us,
until we come again to you and, behold, Aaron and Hur [are]
with you if any man have any matters to do, let him come to them.
24:15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered
the mount.
24:16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days and the seventh day
he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
24:17 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.
Forty days and nights in the mount
24:18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and got him
up into the mount and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty
nights
