Exo 24:2

Exo 24:2“Moses alone, however, shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him.”

Exo 24:3

Exo 24:3Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the LORD and all the [fn]ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words which the LORD has spoken we will do!”

Exo 24:4

Exo 24:4Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an altar [fn]at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

Exo 24:5

Exo 24:5He sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.

Exo 24:6

Exo 24:6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

Exo 24:7

Exo 24:7Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!”

Exo 24:8

Exo 24:8So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has [fn]made with you [fn]in accordance with all these words.”

Exo 24:9Then Moses went up [fn]with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

Exo 24:10

Exo 24:10and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet [fn]there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, [fn]as clear as the sky itself.

Exo 24:11

Exo 24:11Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Exo 24:12

Exo 24:12Now the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and [fn]remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets [fn]with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.”

Exo 24:13

Exo 24:13So Moses arose [fn]with Joshua his [fn]servant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

Exo 24:14

Exo 24:14But to the elders he said, “Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever [fn]has a legal matter, let him approach them.”

Exo 24:15Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Exo 24:16

Exo 24:16The glory of the LORD [fn]rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.

Exo 24:17

Exo 24:17And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountain top.

Exo 24:18
