All of you must worship from a distance. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Only Moses is allowed to come near to the LORD. The others must not come near, and none of the other people are allowed to climb up the mountain with him.”</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then Moses went down to the people and repeated all the instructions and regulations the LORD had given him. All the people answered with one voice, “We will do everything the LORD has commanded.”</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Then Moses carefully wrote down all the LORD’s instructions. Early the next morning Moses got up and built an altar at the foot of the mountain. He also set up twelve pillars, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Then he sent some of the young Israelite men to present burnt offerings and to sacrifice bulls as peace offerings to the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Moses drained half the blood from these animals into basins. The other half he splattered against the altar.</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. Again they all responded, “We will do everything the LORD has commanded. We will obey.”</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Then Moses took the blood from the basins and splattered it over the people, declaring, “Look, this blood confirms the covenant the LORD has made with you in giving you these instructions.”</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel climbed up the mountain. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>There they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there seemed to be a surface of brilliant blue lapis lazuli, as clear as the sky itself. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And though these nobles of Israel gazed upon God, he did not destroy them. In fact, they ate a covenant meal, eating and drinking in his presence!</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain. Stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone on which I have inscribed the instructions and commands so you can teach the people.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>So Moses and his assistant Joshua set out, and Moses climbed up the mountain of God.</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Moses told the elders, “Stay here and wait for us until we come back. Aaron and Hur are here with you. If anyone has a dispute while I am gone, consult with them.”</p><p class="reg"> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Then Moses climbed up the mountain, and the cloud covered it. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And the glory of the LORD settled down on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from inside the cloud. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>To the Israelites at the foot of the mountain, the glory of the LORD appeared at the summit like a consuming fire. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/exodus/24-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Then Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><em>Holy Bible</em>, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
