(KJV) Exodus 24¹

⥃The Covenant Sealed

[1] And he said unto Moses, Come up² unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab³, and Abihu, and seventy⁴ 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.⁵

[3] [¶]And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments⁶: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words⁷ which the Lord hath said will we do. [4] And Moses wrote⁸ all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded⁹ an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars¹⁰, according¹¹ to the twelve tribes of Israel. [5] And he sent young men¹² of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings¹³, and sacrificed peace offerings¹⁴ of oxen unto the Lord. [6] And Moses took half of the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he¹⁵ sprinkled on the altar¹⁶. [7] And he took the book¹⁷ of the covenant, and read¹⁸ in the audience of the people: and they said, All that¹⁹ the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. [8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled²⁰ [it] on the people, and said, Behold²¹ 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:²² [10] And they saw²³ the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone²⁴, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness²⁵. [11] And upon the nobles²⁶ of the children of Israel he laid not²⁷ his hand: also they saw²⁸ God, and did eat²⁹ and drink.

⥃Moses on the Mountain

[12] And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up³⁰ to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables³¹ of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou³² mayest teach them. [13] And Moses rose up, and his minister³³ Joshua: and Moses went up³⁴ into the mount of God. [14] And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye³⁵ here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur³⁶ [are] with you: if any man³⁷ have any matters to do, let him come unto them. [15] And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud³⁸ covered the mount. [16] And the glory³⁹ of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day⁴⁰ he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. [17] And the sight of the glory of the Lord [was] like devouring fire⁴¹ on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. [18] And Moses went into⁴² the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days⁴³ and forty nights.
