6 Moses took half of the blood, and poured it into the cups, and sprinkled the other half on the altar;

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read it aloud to the people, and they said, All that the Lord has said, we will do, and we will be obedient.

8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.'

9 And Moses and Aaron, and Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, went up,

10 and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there is something like a work of pure sapphire, and as clear as the sky itself.

11 And he did not stretch out his hand against the elect of the children of Israel: they saw God, and ate and drank.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, 'Go up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee tablets of stone, and the law, and the commandments, which I have written to teach them.

13 And Moses arose with Jesus his servant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God,

14 And he said to the elders, 'Stay here until we return to you; here are Aaron and Hur with you; whoever deals, let him come to them.

15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain,

16 And the glory of the Lord overshadowed Mount Sinai; and a cloud covered it for six days, and on the seventh day [the Lord] called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord on the top of the mountain was before the eyes of the children of Israel, like a consuming fire.

18 Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mountain; And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
