And [you will keep] the Feast of Harvest, [with] the firstfruits of your work, what you sow in the field. And [you will keep] the Feast of Harvest Gathering when the year goes out, when you gather your work from the field.

" 'You will not sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice together with [food with] yeast, and you will not leave the fat of my feast overnight until morning.

" 'Look, I [am about to] send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.

Be attentive to him and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, because he will not forgive your transgression, for my name is in him

But if you listen attentively to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

When my angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, I will wipe them out.

" 'You will not bow to their gods, and you will not serve them, and you will not act according to their actions, because you will utterly demolish them, and you will utterly break their stone pillars.

And you will serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove sickness from among you.

" 'I will release my terror before you, and I will throw into confusion all the people against whom you come, and I will {make all your enemies turn their back to you}.

And I will send the hornet before you, and it will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.

I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become a desolation and {the wild animals} multiply against you.

Little by little I will drive them out from before you until you are fruitful and take possession of the land.

" 'And I will set your boundary from the {Red Sea} and up to the sea of the Philistines and from [the] desert up to the river, because I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out from before you.

You will not make a covenant with them and with their gods.

And to Moses he said, "Go up to Yahweh--you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Israel--and you will worship at a distance.

And Moses {alone} will come near to Yahweh, and they will not come near, and the people will not go up with him."

And Moses came, and he told the people all the words of Yahweh and all the regulations. And all the people answered with one voice, and they said, "All the words that Yahweh has spoken we will do."

And Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and he rose early in the morning, and he built an altar at the base of the mountain and [set up] twelve memorial stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he sent young men from the {Israelites}, and they offered burnt offerings, and they sacrificed sacrifices [as] fellowship offerings to Yahweh [using] bulls.

And Moses took half of the blood, and he put [it] in bowls, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

And he took the scroll of the covenant and read [it] in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do, and we will listen."

And Moses took the blood and sprinkled [it] on the people, and he said, "Look, the blood of the covenant that Yahweh has made with you in accordance with all these words."

And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Israel went up.

And they saw the God of Israel, and [what was] under his feet [was] like sapphire tile work and like the very heavens for clearness.

And toward the leaders of the {Israelites} he did not stretch out his hand, and they beheld God, and they ate, and they drank.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me [on] the mountain, and be there, and I will give you the tablets of stone and the law and the commandments that I have written to instruct them."

And Moses got up, and Joshua, his assistant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

And to the elders he said, "Wait for us here until we return to you. And look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever {has a dispute} will bring [it] to you."

And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

And the glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it [for] six days, and he called to Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.

And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh [was] like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes of the {Israelites}.

And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and he went up the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

"Speak to the {Israelites}, and let them bring to me a contribution. You will receive my contribution from every man whose heart prompts him.

And this is the contribution that you will receive from them--gold and silver and bronze,

blue, purple, and crimson [yarns], and fine linen and goat hair,

and red-dyed ram skins, and fine leather, and acacia wood,

oil for the lamp, balsam oils for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

onyx stones and stones for mountings on the ephod and the breast piece.
