Come up

When Moses went up the mountain, the cloud covered it.

“Do not come closer,” He said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you and will always believe you.” Then Moses reported the people’s words to the Lord.

And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

Be prepared by morning. Come up Mount Sinai in the morning and stand before Me on the mountaintop.

Seventy

Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and 70 of Israel’s elders,

The total number of Jacob’s descendants was 70;

Joseph was already in Egypt.

The Lord answered Moses, “Bring Me 70 men from Israel known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of meeting and have them stand there with you.

Seventy elders from the house of Israel were standing before them, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a firepan in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising up.

After this, the Lord appointed 70 others, and He sent them ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place where He Himself was about to go.
