Exodus 24
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:
Og han sagde til Moses: »Stig op til HERREN, du og Aron, Nadab og Abihu og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste, og tilbed i Frastand;
2 and Moses alone shall come near unto the LORD; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
Moses alene skal træde hen til HERREN, de andre ikke, og det øvrige Folk maa ikke følge med ham derop.«
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 spoken will we do.
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.«
4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
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.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
Derefter sendte han de unge Mænd blandt Israeliterne hen for at bringe Brændofre og slagte unge Tyre som Takofre til HERREN.
6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Og Moses tog den ene Halvdel af Blodet og gød det i Offerskaalene, men den anden Halvdel sprængte han paa Alteret.
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 spoken will we do, and be obedient.
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!«
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.
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.«
9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
Og Moses, Aron, Nadab og Abihu og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste steg op
10 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.
og skuede Israels Gud; under hans Fødder var der ligesom Safirfliser, som selve Himmelen i Straaleglans.
11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: and they beheld God, and did eat and drink.
Men han lagde ikke Haand paa Israeliternes ypperste Mænd. De skuede Gud, og de spiste og drak.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them.
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.«
13 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
Da bød Moses og Josua, hans Medhjælper op, og Moses steg op paa Guds Bjerg;
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: whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them.
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!«
15 And Moses went up into the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.
Derpaa steg Moses op paa Bjerget. Da indhyllede Skyen Bjerget,
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.
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;
17 And the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
og medens HERRENS Herlighed viste sig for Israeliternes Øjne som en fortærende Ild paa Bjergets Top,
18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
gik Moses ind i Skyen og steg op paa Bjerget. Og Moses blev paa Bjerget i fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter.
