1. The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on this mountain. Bring along Aaron, as well as his two sons Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's leaders. They must worship me at a distance,
2. but you are to come near. Don't let anyone else come up.”
3. Moses gave the Lord's instructions to the people, and they promised, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded!”
17-18. Moses did so and stayed there forty days and nights. To the people, the Lord's glory looked like a blazing fire on top of the mountain.
