¹Then he said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from a distance. ²And Moses alone shall approach the Lord, but they shall not approach. And the people shall not go up with him.” ³Moses then came and told the people all the Lord's words and all the injunctions, and all the people answered unanimously and said, “We will do all the things which the Lord has said.” ⁴And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars to the twelve tribes of Israel. ⁵And he sent youths of the sons of Israel to offer burnt offerings and to offer peace-sacrifices of bulls to the Lord. ⁶Then Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and he sprinkled half of the blood on the altar. ⁷And he took the book of the covenant, and he read it in the audience of the people. And they said, “We will do and obey everything the Lord has said.” ⁸Then 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 things.” ⁹Then Moses went up, as did Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. ¹⁰And they saw the God of Israel, and under his feet was a kind of artefact of clear sapphire, and like the sky itself in purity. ¹¹And he did not lay his hand on the noble men of the sons of Israel, and they beheld God, and they ate and drank. ¹²Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up the mountain to me and be there, and I will give you the slabs of stone and the law and the commandments which I have written so as to instruct them.” ¹³And Moses arose, as did his servant Joshua, and Moses went up the mountain of God. ¹⁴But he said to the elders, “Wait for us here until we return to you, and look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Let whoever has an issue approach them.” ¹⁵Then Moses went up the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain. ¹⁶And the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, then he called to Moses on the seventh day from within the cloud. ¹⁷And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as a consuming fire on the summit of the mountain, in the sight of the sons of Israel. ¹⁸And Moses went inside the cloud, and he went up the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
