And Mofes came and told the people all the words of Iehovah, and all the "judgements : and all the people atfwered with one voice, and Paid ; All the words which lehovah hath fpoken, we will 4 doe. And Mofes wrote alrthe words of Ie- hovah ,.and rote up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, aciording the twelve tribes S of Iftael. And he fent the yong men of the 'Ions of. Ifrael, and they offered burntoffe- rings, and facrificed facrifices of peace -offe- 6 rings; of bullocks unto Jehovah. And Mo- fes tooke halfe of the blood , And put it in bafons, and halfe of the blood he fprinkled 7 òn the altar. And see woke the book of the covenant, and read in the cares of the pep- pie : and they Paid, All that Iehovah hath 8 fpoken,we will doe,and obey. And Mofes tooke the blood, & fprinkled on the people, and faid, Behold the blood of the covenant which Iehovah hath firickenwith you,con- 9 cerning all thefewords. Then went up Mo- les and Aaron,Nadab and Abihu,and feven- cs tie of the Elders of Ifrar!. And they Caw the God of .Ifrael : and there was under his feet as it were aworkeof Saphirebrick,and as the body of the heavens for clearneffe. And upon the Nobles of the Ions of Ifrael he laid not his hand :and they law God,and 52 did cate and drink. And Iehovah faid unto Mofes,Come up to me Into the mount, &be there , and I will give thee tables of {tone, and alaw,and commandement,which Ihave 13 written,to teach them. And Mofes rote up, and his Minifter Iofhua : and Mofes went up into the mountaine of God .And he Paid un- to the Elders, Sit yeehere for us, until! wee return unto you: and bchold,Aaron and Hur are with you; who fo hath matters to doe, 15 let him come neere unto them. And Mofes went up into the mountain, and a cloud co- 16 vexed the mountaine. And the of Ie- hovah dwelt upon mount Sinai, & the cloud covered it fix dayes : andin the feventh day he called unto Mofes out of the midit of the 17 cloud. And the fight of the glory of Ieho- vah was like devouring fire,in the top of the mountaine, in the eyes of the Cons of Ifrael. 18 And Mofes went in to the mids of thecloud, and went up into tie mountaine, and Mofes was in the mountain fortydayes, and forty nights.
