9. And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Israel went up.
10. And they saw the God of Israel, and what was under his feet was like sapphire tile work and like the very heavens for clearness.
11. And toward the leaders of the Israelites he did not stretch out his hand, and they beheld God, and they ate, and they drank.
12. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and be there, and I will give you the tablets of stone and the law and the commandments that I have written to instruct them.”
13. And Moses got up, and Joshua, his assistant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14. And to the elders he said, “Wait for us here until we return to you. And look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has a dispute will bring it to you.”
15. And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16. And the glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, and he called to Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.
17. And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes of the Israelites.
18. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and he went up the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
