Exodus 24 📜 📕 ↷
Covenant Sealed
1 TO Moyses also he said: Go up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy Ancients of Israel, and you shall adore a far off.📜💬📚
2 And Moyses only shall ascend to the Lord, and they shall not approach: neither shall the people ascend with him.📜💬📚
3 Moyses therefore came and told the people all the words of our Lord, & the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: All the words of our Lord, which he hath spoken, we will do.📜💬📚
4 And Moyses wrote all the words of our Lord: and rising in the morning he builded an Altar at the foot of the mount, & twelve titles according the twelve tribes of Israel.📜💬📚
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, & they offered holocausts, & sacrificed pacific victims to our Lord, calves.📜💬📚
6 Moyses therefore took the half part of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the residue he poured upon the Altar.📜💬📚
7 And taking the volume of the covenant, he read the people hearing it: Who said, All things that our Lord hath spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.📜💬📚
8 And he took the blood, and sprinkled it upon the people, and said: This is the blood of the Covenant which our Lord hath made with you upon all these words.📜💬📚
9 And there went up Moyses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the Ancients of Israel:📜💬📚
10 and they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when it is clear.📜💬📚
11 Neither did he set his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired far off, and they saw God, and did eat, and drink.📜💬📚
Moses on the Mountain
12 And our Lord said to Moyses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them.📜💬📚
13 Moyses rose up, and his Minister Josue: and Moyses ascending into the mount of God,📜💬📚
14 said to the Ancients: Expect here till we return to you, you have Aaron and Hur with you: If any question shall rise, you shall refer it to them.📜💬📚
15 And when Moyses was ascended, a cloud covered the mount,📜💬📚
16 and the glory of our Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days, and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the darkness.📜💬📚
17 And the form of the glory of our Lord, was as it were fire burning upon the top of the mount, in the sight of the children of Israel.📜💬📚
18 And Moyses entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended into the mount: and he was there forty days and forty nights.📜💬📚
