Shemoth (Exodus) 24

Exod 24:1 And to Mosheh He said, “Come up to יהוה, you and Aharon,
Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, and seventy of the elders of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall bow
yourselves from a distance.
Exod 24:2 “But Mosheh shall draw near to יהוה by himself, and let them not
draw near, nor let the people go up with him.”
Exod 24:3 And Mosheh came and related to the people all the Words of יהוה
and all the right-rulings. And all the people answered with one voice and
said, “All the Words which יהוה has spoken we shall do.”
Exod 24:4 And Mosheh wrote down all the Words of יהוה, and rose up early
in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve
standing columns for the twelve tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
Exod 24:5 And he sent young men of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and they
offered burnt offerings and slaughtered peace slaughterings of bulls to יהוה.
Exod 24:6 And Mosheh took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the
blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Exod 24:7 And he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of
the people. And they said, “All that יהוה has spoken we shall do, and obey.”
Exod 24:8 And Mosheh took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and
said, “See, the blood of the covenant which יהוה has made with you
concerning all these Words.”
Exod 24:9 And Mosheh went up, also Aharon, Naḏaḇ, and Aḇihu, and
seventy of the elders of Yisra’ĕl,
Exod 24:10 and they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and under His feet like a
paved work of sapphire stone, and like the heavens for brightness.
Exod 24:11 Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the chiefs of the
children of Yisra’ĕl! And they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank.
Exod 24:12 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Come up to Me on the mountain and
be there, while I give you tablets of stone, and the Torah and the command
which I have written, to teach them.”
Exod 24:13 And Mosheh arose with his assistant Yehoshua, and Mosheh
went up to the mountain of Elohim.
Exod 24:14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back
to you. And see, Aharon and Ḥur are with you. Whoever has matters, let him
go to them.”
Exod 24:15 And Mosheh went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the
mountain.
Exod 24:16 And the esteem of יהוה dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud
covered it for six days. And on the seventh day He called to Mosheh out of
the midst of the cloud.
Exod 24:17 And the appearance of the esteem of יהוה was like a consuming
fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Exod 24:18 And Mosheh went into the midst of the cloud and went up into
the mountain. And it came to be that Mosheh was on the mountain forty days
and forty nights.
