12 Now Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and [a]remain there, and (A)I will give you the stone tablets [b]with the [c]law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.” 13 So Moses arose [d]with (B)Joshua his [e]attendant, and Moses went up to (C)the mountain of God. 14 But to the elders he said, “(D)Remain here for us until we return to you. And behold, (E)Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever [f]has a legal matter, let him approach them.” 15 Then Moses went up to the mountain, and (F)the cloud covered the mountain. 16 (G)And the glory of Yahweh dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He (H)called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. 17 (I)And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a (J)consuming fire on the mountain top, in the eyes of the sons of Israel. 18 Then Moses entered the midst of the cloud [g]as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain (K)forty days and forty nights.
