And ^(C1)Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Then he got up early in the morning, and built an ^(C2)altar ^(F1)at the foot of the mountain with twelve memorial stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, ^(C1)and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.

^(C1)Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

Then he took ^(C1)the Book of the Covenant and read it ^(F1)as the people listened; and they said, "^(C2)All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!"

So ^(C1)Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Behold ^(C2)the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has ^(F1)made with you ^(F2)in accordance with all these words."

Then Moses went up ^(F1)with Aaron, ^(C1)Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

and ^(C1)they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet ^(F1)(C2)there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, ^(F2)as clear as the sky itself.

Yet He did not reach out with His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and ^(C1)they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Now the LORD said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and ^(F1)stay there, and ^(C1)I will give you the stone tablets ^(F2)with the Law and the ^(F3)commandments which I have written for their instruction."

So Moses got up ^(F1)along with ^(C1)Joshua his ^(F2)servant, and Moses went up to ^(C2)the mountain of God.

But to the elders he said, "^(C1)Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, ^(C2)Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever ^(F1)has a legal matter, have him approach them."
