12 And the LORD said to Moses, Come up to me on the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayst teach them.
13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up upon the mount of God.
14 And he said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you: and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man hath any matters to do, let him come to them.
15 And Moses went up upon the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.
17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mount: and Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.
