Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

KJB-1611 1 Moses is called vp into the Mountaine. 3 The people promise obedience. 4 Moses buildeth an Altar, and twelue pillars. 6 Hee sprinkleth the blood of the Couenant. 9 The glory of God appeareth. 14 Aaron and Hur haue the charge of the people. 15 Moses goeth into the Mountaine, where he continueth 40. dayes, and 40. nights.
(1 Moses is called up into the Mountaine. 3 The people promise obedience. 4 Moses buildeth an Altar, and twelve 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/goes into the Mountaine, where he continueth 40. days, and 40. nights.)
- v. 1–2: Yahweh summons Moses- v. 3–8: Moses reads the covenant and the people accept it; this is ritually marked by sacrifice and sprinkling of blood- v. 9–11: Moses and Israelite elders go up the mountain, see God and eat- v. 12–15: Yahweh summons Moses further up the mountain without the other elders, and he goes- v. 16–18: Description of Yahweh’s glory, and Moses is at the top of the mountain
- there are a number of similes used to describe people’s encounter with God- “covenant” appears in a variety of ways- the mountain, the mountain of God, and Mount Sinai are all the same location
The people of Israel promise to obey the covenant Yahweh made with Moses. Their continued blessings were contingent upon their obedience to this covenant. (See: promise and covenant)
Because Yahweh is perfectly holy, he can only be approached in a certain way. Because of this, only Moses was allowed near Yahweh. This is also why Yahweh is described as a “devouring fire.” (See: holy)
