Exodus 24
1 Moysi quoque dixit: Ascende ad Dominum tu, et Aaron, Nadab, et Abiu, et septuaginta senes ex Israel, et adorabitis procul.
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 Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt: nec populus ascendet cum eo.
and Moses alone shall come near unto the LORD; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
3 Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini, atque iudicia: responditque omnis populus una voce: Omnia verba Domini, quae locutus est, faciemus.
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.
4 Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini: et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis, et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israel.
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.
5 Misitque iuvenes de filiis Israel, et obtulerunt holocausta, immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino, vitulos duodecim.
And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
6 Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis, et misit in crateras: partem autem residuam fudit super altare.
And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 Assumensque volumen foederis, legit audiente populo: qui dixerunt: Omnia quae locutus est Dominus, faciemus, et erimus obedientes.
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.
8 Ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum, et ait: Hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his.
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 Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta de senioribus Israel:
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 et viderunt Deum Israel: et sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini, et quasi caelum, cum serenum est.
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 Nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israel, misit manum suam, videruntque Deum, et comederunt, ac biberunt.
And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: and they beheld God, and did eat and drink.
12 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.
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.
13 Surrexerunt Moyses et Iosue minister eius: ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei,
And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
14 senioribus ait: Expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum: si quid natum fuerit quaestionis, referetis ad eos.
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.
15 Cumque ascendisset Moyses, operuit nubes montem,
And Moses went up into the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.
16 et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai, tegens illum nube sex diebus: septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis.
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 Erat autem species gloriae Domini, quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israel.
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.
18 Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulae, ascendit in montem: et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus.
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.
