4 And Mofes wrote all the Words of the LORD, and rofe up early in the Morning, and builded an Altar under the Hill, and twelve Pillars according to the twelve Tribes of Ifrael.

5 And he fent young Men of the Children of Ifrael, which offered Burnt-offerings, and facrificed Peace-offerings of Oxen unto the LORD.

6 And Mofes took half of the Blood, and put it in Bafons; and half of the Blood he fprinkled on the Altar.

7 And he took the Book of the Covenant, and read in the Audience of the People: and they faid, All that the LORD hath faid, will we do, and be obedient.

8 And Mofes took the Blood and fprinkled it on the People, and faid, Behold, the Blood of the Covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these Words. 9 Then went up Mofes and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and feventy of the Elders of Ifrael.

10 And they SAW the GOD of Ifrael: 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 his CLEARNESS.

Ezek. i. 28 As the Appearance of the Bow that is in the CLOUD in the Day of Rain, fo was the Appearance of the BRIGHTNESS round about. This

was the Appearance of the Likeness of the GLORY of the LORD: and when I faw it, I fell upon my Face, and heard a Voice of one that spake.

II And upon the NOBLES of the Children of Ifrael he LAID NOT his Hand: alfo they SAW GOD, and did EAT and DRINK.

12 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Come up to me into the Mount, and be there and I will give thee Tables of Stone, and a Law, and Commandments, which I have written; that thou mayeft teach them.

13 And Mofes rofe up, and his Minifter Jofhua: and Mofes went up into the Mount of GOD.

14 And he faid unto the Elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you if any Man have any Matters to do, let him come unto them.

15 And Mofes went up into the Mount, and a Cloud coyered the Mount.

16 And the GLORY of the LORD ABODE upon MOUNT Sinai and the CLOUD Covered it fix Days: and the feventh Day he called unto Mofes out of the midst of the Cloud.

Dan, vii. 9 I beheld, till the THRONES were caft down, and the ANCIENT of Days did fit, whofe Garment was white as Snow, and the Hair of his Head was like the pure Wooll: his THRONE was like the FIERY FLAME, and his Wheels as burning FIRE.

Isa, xl. 17 All Nations before him are as NOTHING, and they are counted to him LESS than NOTHING, and VANITY.

22 It is he that fitteth upon the CIRCLE of the EARTH, and the Inhabitants thereof are as Grafhoppers.

Ia. vi. I I SAW the LORD SITTING upon a THRONE, HIGH and lifted up, and his TRAIN filled the Temple.

2 Above it ftood the SERAPHIMS: each one had fix Wings; with twain he covered his Face, and with twain he covered his Feet, and with twain he did fly.

3 And one CRIFD unto another, and SAID, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the LORD of HOSTS, the whole EARTH is full of his GLORY.

s Then faid I, Wo is me, for I am undone, because I am a Man of UNCLEAN LIPS, and I dwell in the midst of a People of unclean Lips: for mine Eyes have feen the KING, the LORD of HOSTS.

6 Then flew one of the SERAPHIMS unto me, having a live Coal in his Hand, which he had taken with the Tongs from off the Altar.

:

7 And he LAID it upon my Mouth, and faid Lo, this hath TOUCHED thy Lips, and thine INIQUITY is taken away, and thy SIN PURGED.

13 For if the Blood of Bulls and of Goats, and the Ashes of an Heifer fprinkling the Unclean, SANCTIFIETH to the purifying of the Flesh:

14 How much MORE fhall the BLOOD of CHRIST, who through the ETERNAL

GOD!

Is And for this Caufe he is the ME

DIATOR of the NEW TESTAMENT, that by means of DEATH for the REDEMPTION of the Tranfgreflions that were under the FIRST TESTAMENT, they which are called might receive the PROMISE OF ETERNAL INHERITANCE.

16 For where a TESTAMENT is,

there must alfo of neceffity be the

Death of the Teftator.

17 For a Teftament is of Force after Men are dead otherwise it is of no Strength at all whilft the Teftator liveth.

18 Whereupon neither the fift Teftament was dedicated without Blood.

19 For when Mofes had spoken every Precept to all the People according to the Law, he took the BLOOD of Calves and of Goats, with Water, and fcarlet Wool, and Hyffop, and fprinkled both the Book, and all the People.

21 Moreover he fprinkled likewife with Blood both the TABERNACLE, and all the Veffels of the Ministry.

22 And almost all Things are by the Law PURGED with BLOOD; and withOut SHEDDING of BLOOD is no REMISSION.

23 It was therefore neceffary that the PATTERNS of Things in the HEAVENS fhould be purified with thefe; but the HEAVENLY Things themselves with BETTER SACRIFICES than these.

24 For CHRIST is not entred into the holy Places made with Hands, which are the FIGURES of the TRUE; but into HEAVEN itself, now to APPEAR in the PRESENCE of God for us.

25 Nor yet that he fhould OFFER himself often, as the HIGH PRIEST en treth into the HOLY PLACE every Year with BLOOD of others:

26 (For then muft he often have fuffered fince the FOUNDATION of the WORLD) but now once in the END of the WORLD hath he appeared to pu 27 And AWAY Sig by the SACRIFICE of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto Men once to DIE, but after this the JUDG

28 So CHRIST was once OFFERED to bear the SINS of many; and unto them that LOOK for him fhall he appear the fecond Time without SIN unto SALVATION.
