Serve Hashem and I will bless your bread and water and remove sickness from amongst you.
There will not be a barren woman and I will fill your days.

The prolusion to Kabaalas Ha`Torah
Hashem told Moshe: Go up to Hashem, you, Ahron, Nadav, Avihu and the seventy elders and bow from afar. Only Moshe should go up [all the way] to Hashem.
Bnei Yisrael said we will do whatever Hashem says.
Moshe wrote the Torah [from Beraishis to Matan Torah and the Mitzvos they were given in Mara].
He woke early and built a Mizbayach and twelve pillars.
He sent the Bechoros to bring Korban Olos.
Moshe took 1/2 the blood and sprinkled it on the Mizbayach. He read the Torah that he had written and all said Naaseh Ve`Nishmah.
Moshe took the other 1/2 of the blood and sprinkled it on Bnei Yisrael and said here is the blood of the covenant that Hashem has made with you.
Moshe, Ahron, Nadav, Avihu and the seventy elders went up and “saw” [so to speak] Hashem. Under his feet was like a brick of precious stone and like the purity of heaven.
Although Nadav, Avihu and the seventy elders looked at Hashem and ate and drank, Hashem did not punish them.
Moshe told the Elders that while he is up on Mt. Sinai, if they have any questions they can ask Ahron or Chur.
Moshe and Yehoshua woke early and went to Mt. Sinai, Yehoshua stayed at the foot and Moshe went up.
Moshe was covered by the cloud for six days, after which Hashem called him up. Hashem looked like a consuming fire to the eyes of Bnei Yisrael. Moshe stayed on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights.
