14 And if a man shall borrow aught of his neighbor, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it being not with it, he shall surely make it good.

15 But if the owner of it shall be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire.

1 Moses is called up upon the mountain. 3 The people promise obedience. 4 Moses buildeth an altar, and 12 pillars: 6 He sprinkleth the blood of the covenant. 9 The glory of God appeareth. 14 Aaron and Hur have the charge of the people. 15 Moses goeth upon the mountain, where he continueth forty days and forty nights.

AND he said to Moses, come up to, the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.

2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

3 ¶ And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, a All the words which the LORD hath said will we perform.

4¶ And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen to the LORD.

6 ¶ And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.

8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire-stone, and as it were the body of heaven in its clear

ness.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand also they saw God, and ate and drank.

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.
