4. And Moses[H4872] wrote[H3789] all the words[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068], and rose up early[H7925] in the morning[H1242], and builded[H1129] an altar[H4196] under the mount[H2022], and twelve pillars[H4676], according to the twelve[H8147] tribes[H7626] of Israel[H3478].
5. And he sent[H7971] young men[H5288] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], who offered[H5927] burnt-offerings[H5930], and sacrificed[H2076] peace-offerings[H8002] of[H2077] oxen[H6499] unto Jehovah[H3068].

7. And he took[H3947] the book[H5612] of the covenant[H1285], and read[H7121] in the audience[H241] of the people[H5971]: and they said[H559], All that Jehovah[H3068] hath spoken[H1696] will we do[H6213], and be obedient[H8085].

10. and they saw[H7200] the God[H430] of Israel[H3478]; and there was under his feet[H7272] as it were a paved[H3840] work[H4639] of sapphire stone[H5601], and as it were the very[H6106] heaven[H8064] for clearness[H2892].
11. And upon the nobles[H678] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] he laid[H7971] not his hand[H3027]: and they beheld[H2372] God[H430], and did eat[H398] and drink[H8354].
12. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Come up[H5927] to me into the mount[H2022], and be there[H5414]: and I will give thee the tables[H3871] of stone[H68], and the law[H8451] and the commandment[H4687], which I have written[H3789], that thou mayest teach them[H3384].

14. And he said[H559] unto the elders[H2205], Tarry[H3427] ye here[H2088] for us[H7725], until we come again unto you[H175]: and, behold, Aaron and Hur[H2354] are with you[H4310]; whosoever hath[H1167] a cause[H1697], let[H1167] him come near unto them[H5066].
15. And Moses[H4872] went up[H5927] into the mount[H2022], and the cloud[H6051] covered[H3680] the mount[H2022].
16. And the glory[H3519] of Jehovah[H3068] abode[H7931] upon mount[H2022] Sinai[H5514], and the cloud[H6051] covered[H3680] it six[H8337] days[H3117]: and the seventh[H7637] day[H3117] he called[H7121] unto Moses[H4872] out of the midst[H8432] of the cloud[H6051].
