Exodus 24:15

Moses
God's presence

13 So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.

14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”

When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

16 and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.

17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
