Then He saidh559 to Mosesh4872, " aComeh5927 up to the LORDh3068, you and Aaronh175,  bNadabh5070 and Abihuh30 and  cseventyh7657 of the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478, and you shall worshiph7812 at a distanceh7350.

"Mosesh4872 aloneh905, however, shall comeh5066 nearh5066 to the LORDh3068, but they shall not comeh5066 nearh5066, norh3808 shall the peopleh5971a comeh5927 up with him."

Then Mosesh4872 cameh935 and recountedh5608 to the peopleh5971a allh3605 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068 and allh3605 the  1ordinancesh4941; and allh3605 the peopleh5971a answeredh6030a with oneh259 voiceh6963 and saidh559, " aAllh3605 the wordsh1697 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has spokenh1696 we will doh6213a!"

4

 aMosesh4872 wroteh3789 downh3789 allh3605 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068. Then he aroseh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242, and builth1129 an  baltarh4196  1at the footh8478 of the mountainh2022 with twelveh8147h6240 pillarsh4676 for the twelveh8147h6240 tribesh7626 of Israelh3478.

He senth7971 youngh5288 menh5288 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478,  aand they offeredh5927 burnth5930a offeringsh5930a and sacrificedh2076 youngh6499 bullsh6499 as peaceh8002 offeringsh8002 to the LORDh3068.

 aMosesh4872 tookh3947 halfh2677 of the bloodh1818 and puth7760 it in basinsh101, and the other halfh2677 of the bloodh1818 he sprinkledh2236b on the altarh4196.

7

Then he tookh3947  athe bookh5612 of the covenanth1285 and readh7121 it in the hearingh241 of the peopleh5971a; and they saidh559, " bAllh3605 that the LORDh3068 has spokenh1696 we will doh6213a, and we will be obedienth8085!"

8

So  aMosesh4872 tookh3947 the bloodh1818 and sprinkledh2236b it on the peopleh5971a, and saidh559, "Beholdh2009  bthe bloodh1818 of the covenanth1285, whichh834 the LORDh3068 has  1madeh3772 with you  2in accordanceh5921 with allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697."

9

Then Mosesh4872 wenth5927 up  1with Aaronh175,  aNadabh5070 and Abihuh30, and seventyh7657 of the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478,

10

and  athey sawh7200 the Godh430 of Israelh3478; and underh8478 His feeth7272  1 bthere appeared to be a pavementh3843 of sapphireh5601,  2as clearh2892a as the skyh8064 itselfh6106.

11

Yet He did not stretchh7971 out His handh3027 againsth413 the noblesh678 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478; and  athey sawh2372 Godh430, and they ateh398 and drankh8354.

12

Now the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Comeh5927 up to Me on the mountainh2022 and  1remainh1961 thereh8033, and  aI will giveh5414 you the stoneh68 tabletsh3871  2with the lawh8451 and the commandmenth4687 whichh834 I have writtenh3789 for their instructionh3384."

13

So Mosesh4872 aroseh6965  1with  aJoshuah3091 his  2servanth8334, and Mosesh4872 wenth5927 up to  bthe mountainh2022 of Godh430.

14

But to the eldersh2205 he saidh559, " aWaith3427 hereh2088 for us untilh5704h834 we returnh7725 to you. And beholdh2009,  bAaronh175 and Hurh2354 are with you; whoeverh4310  1has a legal matterh1697, let him approachh5066 them."

15

Then Mosesh4872 wenth5927 up to the mountainh2022, and  athe cloudh6051 coveredh3680 the mountainh2022.

16

 aThe gloryh3519b of the LORDh3068  1restedh7931 on Mounth2022 Sinaih5514, and the cloudh6051 coveredh3680 it for sixh8337a daysh3117; and on the seventhh7637 dayh3117 He  bcalledh7121 to Mosesh4872 from the midsth8432 of the cloudh6051.

17

 aAnd to the eyesh5869 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 the appearanceh4758 of the gloryh3519b of the LORDh3068 was like a  bconsumingh398 fireh784 on the mountainh2022 toph7218.

18

Mosesh4872 enteredh935 the midsth8432 of the cloudh6051  1as he wenth5927 up to the mountainh2022; and Mosesh4872 was on the mountainh2022  afortyh705 daysh3117 and fortyh705 nightsh3915.
