Read Exodus 24 in context

Scripture Focus

1And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.

2And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

3And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.

4And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

6And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.

8And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

Biblical Context

Exodus 24:1-8 describes the ascent of Moses and the elders to meet the LORD, the people's oath to obey, and the sealing with blood of the covenant, signaling a binding commitment to the divine words.

Neville's Inner Vision

What you behold in Exodus 24 is a radiant map of your inner state. Moses represents the higher self ascending toward the one Life, while the elders and the people symbolize the outer levels of mind clinging to form. The blood of the covenant is not a ritual of distance but the lifeblood of your decided allegiance to a new law of consciousness. The altar and twelve pillars symbolize twelve fixed points of awareness—every facet of your being anchoring this decision. When the book of the covenant is spoken and you respond, “All that the LORD hath said will we do,” you are aligning your entire system with a law you have chosen. The sprinkling of blood upon the altar and the people marks the moment when belief and identity fuse with lived experience. In this light, the event is an inner act: you are not waiting for God to move; you are the act of recognition, the state of obedience made tangible in your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already living by the covenant you heard. Feel the blood as the living vitality of your decision, and inwardly declare, All that the LORD hath said will I do, until it feels present and real.
