Exodus 24:2

Verse 2 of 18. The 24th of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

1He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

2Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

3Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has spoken will we do.”

4Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD.

6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
