Exodus 24

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

Now hee had said vnto Moses, Come vp to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seuentie of the Elders of Israel, and yee shall worship a farre off.

2 Moses alone shall come near to God, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

And Moses himselfe alone shall come neere to the Lord, but they shall not come neere, neither shall the people goe vp with him.

3 Moses came and told the people all the words of God, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which YHWH has spoken will we do."

Afterwarde Moses came and told the people all the wordes of the Lord, and all the lawes: and all the people answered with one voyce, and said, All the things which the Lord hath said, will we doe.

4 Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And Moses wrote all the wordes of the Lord, and rose vp early, and set vp an altar vnder the mountaine, and twelue pillars according to the twelue tribes of Israel.

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

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offrings of bieues, and sacrificed peace offrings vnto the Lord.

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

Then Moses tooke halfe of the blood, and put it in basens, and halfe of the blood he sprinckled on the altar.

7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that YHWH has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

After he tooke the booke of the couenant, and read it in the audience of the people: who said, All that the Lord hath said, we will do, and be obedient.

8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you concerning all these words."

Then Moses tooke the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the couenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these things.

9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

Then went vp Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seuentie of the Elders of Israel.

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

And they saw the God of Israel, and vnder his feete was as it were a worke of a Saphir stone, and as the very heauen when it is cleare.

11 He did not lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

And vpon the nobles of the children of Israel he laide not his hande: also they sawe God, and did eate and drinke.

12 YHWH 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."

And the Lord said vnto Moses, Come vp to me into the mountaine, and be there, and I will giue thee tables of stone, and the law and the commandement, which I haue written, for to teach them.

13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

Then Moses rose vp, and his minister Ioshua, and Moses went vp into the mountaine of God,

14 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

And said vnto the Elders, Tary vs here, vntill we come againe vnto you: and beholde, Aaron, and Hur are with you: whosoeuer hath any matters, let him come to them.

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Then Moses went vp to the mount, and the cloude couered the mountaine,

16 The glory of God 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.

And the glorie of the Lord abode vpon mount Sinai, and the cloude couered it sixe dayes: and the seuenth day he called vnto Moses out of the middes of the cloude.

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

And the sight of the glorie of the Lord was like consuming fire on the top of the moutaine, in the eyes of the children of Israel.

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

And Moses entred into the middes of the cloude, and went vp to the mountaine: and Moses was in the mount fourtie dayes and fourty nightes.
