Exodus 24
1 He said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
Moysi quoque dixit: Ascende ad Dominum tu, et Aaron, Nadab, et Abiu, et septuaginta senes ex Israel, et adorabitis procul.
2 Moses alone shall come near to God, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."
Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt: nec populus ascendet cum eo.
3 Moses came and told the people all the words of God, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which the LORD has spoken will we do."
Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini, atque iudicia: responditque omnis populus una voce: Omnia verba Domini, quae locutus est, faciemus.
4 Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini: et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis, et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israel.
5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to God.
Misitque iuvenes de filiis Israel, et obtulerunt holocausta, immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino, vitulos duodecim.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis, et misit in crateras: partem autem residuam fudit super altare.
7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that the LORD has spoken will we do, and be obedient."
Assumensque volumen foederis, legit audiente populo: qui dixerunt: Omnia quae locutus est Dominus, faciemus, et erimus obedientes.
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you concerning 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, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta de senioribus Israel:
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
et viderunt Deum Israel: et sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini, et quasi caelum, cum serenum est.
11 He did not lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
Nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israel, misit manum suam, videruntque Deum, et comederunt, ac biberunt.
12 The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ascende ad me in montem, et esto ibi: daboque tibi tabulas lapideas, et legem ac mandata quae scripsi: ut doceas eos.
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.
Surrexerunt Moyses et Iosue minister eius: ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei,
14 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in 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 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
Cumque ascendisset Moyses, operuit nubes montem,
16 The glory of God settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai, tegens illum nube sex diebus: septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis.
17 The appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Erat autem species gloriae Domini, quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israel.
18 Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulae, ascendit in montem: et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus.
