Exodus 24:2 in Context — Exodus 24

1 Dieu dit à Moïse: Monte vers l’Éternel, toi et Aaron, Nadab et Abihu, et soixante-dix des anciens d’Israël, et vous vous prosternerez de loin.

2 Moïse s’approchera seul de l’Éternel; les autres ne s’approcheront pas, et le peuple ne montera point avec lui.

3 Moïse vint rapporter au peuple toutes les paroles de l’Éternel et toutes les lois. Le peuple entier répondit d’une même voix: Nous ferons tout ce que l’Éternel a dit.

4 Moïse écrivit toutes les paroles de l’Éternel. Puis il se leva de bon matin; il bâtit un autel au pied de la montagne, et dressa douze pierres pour les douze tribus d’Israël.
