2 Mosebog 24
1 Og han sagde til Moses: »Stig op til HERREN, du og Aron, Nadab og Abihu og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste, og tilbed i Frastand;
And he said to Moses, Come up to Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship ye afar off.
2 Moses alene skal træde hen til HERREN, de andre ikke, og det øvrige Folk maa ikke følge med ham derop.«
And Moses alone shall come near to Jehovah, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.
3 Derpaa kom Moses og kundgjorde hele Folket alle HERRENS Ord og alle Lovbudene, og hele Folket svarede enstemmigt: »Alle de Ord, HERREN har talet, vil vi overholde.«
And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the ordinances. And all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which Jehovah has spoken will we do.
4 Da skrev Moses alle HERRENS Ord op; og tidligt næste Morgen rejste han ved Foden af Bjerget et Alter og tolv Stenstøtter svarende til Israels tolv Stammer.
And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar below the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Derefter sendte han de unge Mænd blandt Israeliterne hen for at bringe Brændofre og slagte unge Tyre som Takofre til HERREN.
And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to Jehovah.
6 Og Moses tog den ene Halvdel af Blodet og gød det i Offerskaalene, men den anden Halvdel sprængte han paa Alteret.
And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 Saa tog han Pagtsbogen og læste den op i Folkets Paahør, og de sagde: »Vi vil gøre alt, hvad HERREN har talet, og lyde ham!«
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people. And they said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do, and be obedient.
8 Derpaa tog Moses Blodet og sprængte det paa Folket, idet han sagde: »Se, dette er Pagtens Blod, den Pagt, HERREN har sluttet med eder paa Grundlag af alle disse Ord.«
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.
9 Og Moses, Aron, Nadab og Abihu og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste steg op
Then Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
10 og skuede Israels Gud; under hans Fødder var der ligesom Safirfliser, som selve Himmelen i Straaleglans.
And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness.
11 Men han lagde ikke Haand paa Israeliternes ypperste Mænd. De skuede Gud, og de spiste og drak.
And he laid not his hand upon the nobles of the sons of Israel. And they beheld God, and ate and drank.
12 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Stig op til mig paa Bjerget og bliv der, saa vil jeg give dig Stentavlerne, Loven og Budet, som jeg har opskrevet til Vejledning for dem.«
And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me onto the mount, and be there, and I will give thee the tablets of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou may teach them.
13 Da bød Moses og Josua, hans Medhjælper op, og Moses steg op paa Guds Bjerg;
And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister, and Moses went up onto the mount of God.
14 men til de Ældste sagde han: »Vent paa os her, til vi kommer tilbage til eder. Se, Aron og Hur er hos eder; er der nogen, der har en Retstrætte, kan han henvende sig til dem!«
And he said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you. And, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a case, let him come near to them.
15 Derpaa steg Moses op paa Bjerget. Da indhyllede Skyen Bjerget,
And Moses went up onto the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.
16 og HERRENS Herlighed nedlod sig paa Sinaj Bjerg. Og Skyen indhyllede Sinaj Bjerg i seks Dage, men den syvende Dag raabte HERREN ud fra Skyen til Moses;
And the glory of Jehovah abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 og medens HERRENS Herlighed viste sig for Israeliternes Øjne som en fortærende Ild paa Bjergets Top,
And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.
18 gik Moses ind i Skyen og steg op paa Bjerget. Og Moses blev paa Bjerget i fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter.
And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up onto the mount. And Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.
