Exodus 24:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²Moses alone shall come near the Lord; the others shall not come near, and neither shall the people come up with him.

³Moses came and told the people all that the Lord had said and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, All that the Lord has spoken we will do.

⁴Moses ^[a]wrote all the words of the Lord. He rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve pillars representing Israel’s twelve tribes.
