Exodus 24

1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.

And to Moses he said come up to Yahweh you and Aaron Nadab and Abihu and seventy of [the] elders of Israel and you will bow down from a distance.

2 And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.

And he will draw near Moses to only him to Yahweh and they not they will draw near and the people not they will come up with him.

3 Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.

And he went Moses and he recounted to the people all [the] words of Yahweh and all the judgments and it answered all the people a voice one and they said all the words which he has spoken Yahweh we will do.

4 Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he wrote Moses all [the] words of Yahweh and he rose early in the morning and he built an altar under the mountain and two [plus] ten pillar[s] for two [plus] ten [the] tribes of Israel.

5 And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.

And he sent [the] young men of [the] people of Israel and they offered up burnt offerings and they sacrificed sacrifices peace offerings to Yahweh young bulls.

6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

And he took Moses half of the blood and he put [it] in bowls and [the] half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.

And he took [the] book of the covenant and he read [it] aloud in [the] ears of the people and they said all that he has spoken Yahweh we will do and we may obey.

8 Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.

And he took Moses the blood and he sprinkled [it] on the people and he said here! [the] blood of the covenant which he has made Yahweh with you on all the words these.

9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:

And he went up Moses and Aaron Nadab and Abihu and seventy of [the] elders of Israel.

10 And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.

And they saw [the] God of Israel and [was] under feet his like [the] working of pavement of sapphire and like [the] substance of the heavens to purity.

11 And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.

And against [the] nobles of [the] people of Israel not he stretched out hand his and they saw God and they ate and they drank.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.

And he said Yahweh to Moses come up to me the mountain towards and be there so let me give to you [the] tablets of stone and the law and the commandment which I have written to teach them.

13 Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

And he arose Moses and Joshua servant his and he went up Moses to [the] mountain of God.

14 And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.

And to the elders he said remain for us in this [place] until that we will return to you and here! Aaron and Hur [are] with you whoever [is] a master of matters he will draw near to them.

15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.

And he went up Moses to the mountain and it covered the cloud the mountain.

16 And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

And it settled down [the] glory of Yahweh on [the] mountain of Sinai and it covered it the cloud six days and he summoned Moses on the day seventh from [the] middle of the cloud.

17 And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.

And [the] appearance of [the] glory of Yahweh [was] like a fire consuming on [the] top of the mountain to [the] eyes of [the] people of Israel.

18 And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.

And he went Moses in [the] midst of the cloud and he went up to the mountain and he was Moses on the mountain forty day[s] and forty night[s].
