1 Mosi quoque dixit
ascende ad Dominum tu et Aaron Nadab et Abiu
et septuaginta senes ex Israhel
et adorabitis procul
2 solusque Moses ascendet ad Dominum
et illi non adpropinquabunt nec populus ascendet cum eo
3 venit ergo Moses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini atque iudicia
responditque cunctus populus una voce
omnia verba Domini quae locutus est faciemus
4 scripsit autem Moses universos sermones Domini
et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis
et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israhel
5 misitque iuvenes de filiis Israhel et obtulerunt holocausta
immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos
6 tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras
partem autem residuam fudit super altare
7 adsumensque volumen foederis legit audiente populo
qui dixerunt omnia quae locutus est Dominus faciemus
et erimus oboedientes
8 ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum et ait
hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum
super cunctis sermonibus his
9 ascenderuntque Moses et Aaron Nadab et Abiu
et septuaginta de senioribus Israhel
10 et viderunt Deum Israhel
sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini
et quasi caelum cum serenum est
11 nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israhel misit manum suam
videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt
12 dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen
ascende ad me in montem et esto ibi
daboque tibi tabulas lapideas
et legem ac mandata quae scripsi ut doceas eos
13 surrexerunt Moses et Iosue minister eius
ascendensque Moses in montem Dei
14 senioribus ait
expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos
habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum
si quid natum fuerit quaestionis referetis ad eos
15 cumque ascendisset Moses operuit nubes montem
16 et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai tegens illum nube sex diebus
septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis
17 erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens
super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israhel
18 ingressusque Moses medium nebulae ascendit in montem
et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus
1 And 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. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
3 ¶ And 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. 4 And 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. 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And 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. 8 And 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.
9 ¶ Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: 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. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
12 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, 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 mayest teach them. 13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God. 14 And he said 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 Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
