12 The Lord said to Moses, (A)“Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the (B)tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.” 13 So Moses rose with his assistant (C)Joshua, and Moses went up (D)into the mountain of God. 14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and (E)Hur are with you. Whoever has a dispute, let him go to them.”

15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and (F)the cloud covered the mountain. 16 (G)The glory of the Lord dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a (H)devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. 18 Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses (I)was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain. Stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone on which I have inscribed the instructions and commands so you can teach the people.” 13 So Moses and his assistant Joshua set out, and Moses climbed up the mountain of God.

14 Moses told the elders, “Stay here and wait for us until we come back. Aaron and Hur are here with you. If anyone has a dispute while I am gone, consult with them.”

15 Then Moses climbed up the mountain, and the cloud covered it. 16 And the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud. 17 To the Israelites at the foot of the mountain, the glory of the Lord appeared at the summit like a consuming fire. 18 Then Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
