Exodus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.
Mosi quoque dixit ascende ad Dominum tu et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta senes ex Israhel et adorabitis procul
2 Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
solusque Moses ascendet ad Dominum et illi non adpropinquabunt nec populus ascendet cum eo
3 When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”
venit ergo Moses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini atque iudicia responditque cunctus populus una voce omnia verba Domini quae locutus est faciemus
4 And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
scripsit autem Moses universos sermones Domini et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israhel
5 Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.
misitque iuvenes de filiis Israhel et obtulerunt holocausta immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.
tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras partem autem residuam fudit super altare
7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
adsumensque volumen foederis legit audiente populo qui dixerunt omnia quae locutus est Dominus faciemus et erimus oboedientes
8 So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum et ait hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his
9 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
ascenderuntque Moses et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israhel
10 and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.
et viderunt Deum Israhel sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini et quasi caelum cum serenum est
11 But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israhel misit manum suam videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
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 So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.
surrexerunt Moses et Iosue minister eius ascendensque Moses in montem Dei
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.”
senioribus ait expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum si quid natum fuerit quaestionis referetis ad eos
15 When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,
cumque ascendisset Moses operuit nubes montem
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.
et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai tegens illum nube sex diebus septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis
17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israhel
18 Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
ingressusque Moses medium nebulae ascendit in montem et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus
