Then he (A)took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.” And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is (B)the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”

On the Mountain with God

Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10 and they (C)saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of (D)sapphire stone, and it was like the (E)very[a] heavens in its clarity. 11 But on the nobles of the children of Israel He (F)did not [b]lay His hand. So (G)they saw God, and they (H)ate and drank.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, (I)“Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you (J)tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.”
