24:1 Ve EL Mosheh amar, Ale El YHWH (יהוה),
"Thou, and Aharon, Nadav, and Avihu, and seventy(70) of the elders of Yisrael; and worship ye afar off.
24:2 And Mosheh alone shall come near YHWH (יהוה): but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
24:3 And Mosheh came and told the people all the davar of YHWH (יהוה), and all the mishpatim: and all the people answered with one Kol, and said:
All the Davar which YHWH (יהוה) hath said will we do.
24:4 And Mosheh wrote all the Dvar YHWH (יהוה), and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Yisrael.
24:5 And he sent young men of the Benai Yisrael, which offered Olot, and sacrificed shelamin of oxen unto YHWH (יהוה).
24:6 And Mosheh took half of the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
24:7 And he took the sefer Ha brit, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that YHWH (יהוה) hath said will we do, and be obedient.
24:8 And Mosheh took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, hinei the blood of the brit, which YHWH (יהוה) hath made with you concerning all these davar.
24:9 Then went up Mosheh, and Aharon, Nadav, and Avihu, and seventy of the elders of Yisrael:
24:10 And they saw the Elohim (אלהים) of Yisrael: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness.
24:11 And upon the nobles of the Benai Yisrael he laid not his hand: also they saw Elohim (אלהים), and did eat and drink.
24:12 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh,
Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and ha Torah, and Mitzvot which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
24:13 And Mosheh rose up, and his minister Yehoshua: and Mosheh went up into the mount of Elohim (אלהים).
24:14 And he said unto the elders:
Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, hinei, Aharon and Hur [are] with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
24:15(S:Maftir)
And Mosheh went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
24:16(A:Maftir)
And the Kavod of YHWH (יהוה) abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Mosheh out of the midst of the cloud.
24:17 And the sight of the Kavod of YHWH (יהוה) [was] like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the Benai Yisrael.
24:18 And Mosheh went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Mosheh was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
