Exodus 24

1 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.

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

2 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.

Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

3 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.

Moses came and told the people all Yahweh’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.”

4 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.

Moses wrote all Yahweh’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 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.

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

6 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.

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

7 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.

He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that Yahweh has said, and be obedient.”

8 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.

Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”

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

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

10 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.

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

11 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.

He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

12 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.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”

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

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

14 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.

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

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

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

16 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.

Yahweh’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

17 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.

The appearance of Yahweh’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 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].

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