Chapter 24

1Then He said to Moshe, “Come up to Hashem, with Aharon, Nadav and Avihu, and seventy elders of Yisrael, and bow low from afar.

2Moshe alone shall come near Hashem; but the others shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him.”

3Moshe went and repeated to the people all the commands of Hashem and all the rules; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, “All the things that Hashem has commanded we will do!”

4Moshe then wrote down all the commands of Hashem. Early in the morning, he set up a mizbayach at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Yisrael.

5He designated some young men among the Israelites, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls as offerings of well-being to Hashem.

6Moshe took one part of the blood and put it in basins, and the other part of the blood he dashed against the mizbayach.

7Then he took the record of the covenant and read it aloud to the people. And they said, “All that Hashem has spoken we will faithfully do!”

8Moshe took the blood and dashed it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Hashem now makes with you concerning all these commands.”

9Then Moshe and Aharon, Nadav and Avihu, and seventy elders of Yisrael ascended;

10and they saw the God of Yisrael: under His feet there was the likeness of a pavement of sapphire, like the very sky for purity.

11Yet He did not raise His hand against the leaders of the Israelites; they beheld Hashem, and they ate and drank.

12Hashem said to Moshe, “Come up to Me on the mountain and wait there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the teachings and commandments which I have inscribed to instruct them.”

13So Moshe and his attendant Yehoshua arose, and Moshe ascended the mountain of Hashem.

14To the elders he had said, “Wait here for us until we return to you. You have Aharon and Chur with you; let anyone who has a legal matter approach them.”

15When Moshe had ascended the mountain, the cloud covered the mountain.

טווַיַּ֥עַל מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶל־הָהָ֑ר וַיְכַ֥ס הֶעָנָ֖ן אֶת־הָהָֽר׃

16The Presence of Hashem abode on Har Sinai, and the cloud hid it for six days. On the seventh day He called to Moshe from the midst of the cloud.

17Now the Presence of Hashem appeared in the sight of the Israelites as a consuming fire on the top of the mountain.

18Moshe went inside the cloud and ascended the mountain; and Moshe remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
