Exodus Chapter 24

¹He said to Moses, "Come up to ForeverOne, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

²Moses alone can come near to ForeverOne, but they shall not come near. The people must not go up with him." ³Moses came and told the people all the words of ForeverOne, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which ForeverOne has spoken will we do." ⁴Moses wrote all the words of ForeverOne, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to ForeverOne.

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

⁷He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that ForeverOne has spoken will we do, and be obedient." ⁸Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which ForeverOne has made with you concerning all these words." ⁹Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

¹⁰They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

¹¹He didn't lay his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

¹²ForeverOne said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them." ¹³Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

¹⁴He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we return to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them." ¹⁵Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

¹⁶The glory of ForeverOne settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷The appearance of the glory of ForeverOne was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
