⁵ And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to where Moses had put up his tent in the waste land, by the mountain of God.

¹ Now Moses was looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he took the flock to the back of the waste land and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

¹² And he said, Truly I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have taken the children of Israel out of Egypt, you will give worship to God on this mountain.

¹¹ And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.

²⁰ Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

¹⁶ And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

¹⁷ And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.

⁸ So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.
