Exodus 24:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Moses alone shall approach the Lord, but the others shall not draw near and the people shall not go up with him.”

³ Moses went to tell the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances. All the people answered together and said, “We will keep all the commands that the Lord has given.”

⁴ Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. Then he rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
