Exodus 24:12-18

Modern English Version

¹² The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me to the mountain and stay there, and I will give you the stone tablets with law and the commandments which I have written, so that you may teach them.”

¹³ Moses rose up with Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. ¹⁴ He said to the elders, “Wait for us in this place until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has any matters of dispute let him come to them.”

¹⁵ Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. ¹⁶ The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. ¹⁷ Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes of the children of Israel. ¹⁸ Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up to the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
