Exodus 24:1-18 (GNT)
1 "The LORD said to Moses, "Come up the mountain to me, you and Aaron,
Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the leaders of Israel; and while you are
still some distance away, bow down in worship. 2 You alone, and none
of the others, are to come near me. The people are not even to come up
the mountain. " 3 Moses went and told the people all the LORD's
commands and all the ordinances, and all the people answered together,
"We will do everything that the LORD has said. " 4 Moses wrote down
all the LORD's commands. Early the next morning he built an altar at
the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stones, one for each of the
twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent young men, and they burned
sacrifices to the LORD and sacrificed some cattle as fellowship
offerings. 6 Moses took half of the blood of the animals and put it in
bowls; and the other half he threw against the altar. 7 Then he took
the book of the Covenant, in which the LORD's commands were written,
and read it aloud to the people. They said, "We will obey the LORD and
do everything that he has commanded. " 8 Then Moses took the blood in
the bowls and threw it on the people. He said, "This is the blood that
seals the covenant which the LORD made with you when he gave all these
commands. " 9 Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the leaders
of Israel went up the mountain 10 and they saw the God of Israel.
Beneath his feet was what looked like a pavement of sapphire, as blue
as the sky. 11 God did not harm these leading men of Israel; they saw
God, and then they ate and drank together. 12 The LORD said to Moses,
"Come up the mountain to me, and while you are here, I will give you
two stone tablets which contain all the laws that I have written for
the instruction of the people." 13 Moses and his helper Joshua got
ready, and Moses began to go up the holy mountain. 14 Moses said to
the leaders, "Wait here in the camp for us until we come back. Aaron
and Hur are here with you; and so whoever has a dispute to settle can
go to them." 15 Moses went up Mount Sinai, and a cloud covered it.
16-17 The dazzling light of the LORD's presence came down on the
mountain. To the Israelites the light looked like a fire burning on
top of the mountain. The cloud covered the mountain for six days, and
on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from the cloud. 18 Moses
went on up the mountain into the cloud. There he stayed for forty days
and nights."
God bless you.
