24:1 And to Moses he said, Go up to the
Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of
Israel: and they shall worship Yehovah from a distance.
24:2 And Moses alone shall draw nigh to Elohim; and they shall not draw nigh,
and the people shall not come up with them.
24:3 And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of Elohim and
the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the
words which Yehovah has spoken, we will do and be obedient.
24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of Yehovah; and Moses rose up early in
the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve
stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
24:5 And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they
offered whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a
peace-offering to Elohim.
24:6 And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the
blood he poured out upon the altar.
24:7 And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the
people, and they said, All things whatsoever Yehovah has spoken we will do
and hearken therein.
24:8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which Yehovah has made with you
concerning all these words.
24:9 And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the
elders of Israel.
24:10 And they saw the place where the Elohim of Israel stood; and under his
feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance
of the firmament of heaven in its purity.
24:11 And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and
they appeared in the place of Elohim, and did eat and drink.
24:12 And Yehovah said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be
there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the
commandments, which I have written to give them laws.
24:13 And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the
mount of Elohim.
24:14 And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and
behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let
them go to them.
24:15 And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered
the mountain.
24:16 And the glory of Elohim came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud
covered it six days; and Yehovah called Moses on the seventh day out of the
midst of the cloud.
24:17 And the appearance of the glory of Yehovah was as burning fire on the
top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
24:18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the
mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights. |
24:1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto
Yehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of
Israel; and worship ye afar off.
24:2 And Moses alone shall come near Yehovah: but they shall not come nigh;
neither shall the people go up with him.
24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of Yehovah, and all
the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the
words which Yehovah hath said will we do.
24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of Yehovah, and rose up early in the
morning, and builded 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 unto Yehovah.
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 Yehovah hath 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 Yehovah hath made with you
concerning all these words.
24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Israel:
24:10 And they saw the Elohim 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 Elohim, and did eat and drink.
24:12 And Yehovah 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.
24:13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the
mount of Elohim.
24:14 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.
24:15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
24:16 And the glory of Yehovah 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.
24:17 And the sight of the glory of Yehovah was like devouring fire on the
top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
24:18 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. |
