< Exodus 24 >

1 Mosi quoque dixit ascende ad Dominum tu et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta senes ex Israhel et adorabitis procul
And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.
2 solusque Moses ascendet ad Dominum et illi non adpropinquabunt nec populus ascendet cum eo
And Moses alone shall draw nigh to God; and they shall not draw nigh, and the people shall not come up with them.
3 venit ergo Moses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini atque iudicia responditque cunctus populus una voce omnia verba Domini quae locutus est faciemus
And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.
4 scripsit autem Moses universos sermones Domini et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israhel
And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 misitque iuvenes de filiis Israhel et obtulerunt holocausta immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos
And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.
6 tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras partem autem residuam fudit super altare
And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.
7 adsumensque volumen foederis legit audiente populo qui dixerunt omnia quae locutus est Dominus faciemus et erimus oboedientes
And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and hearken therein.
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 upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.
9 ascenderuntque Moses et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israhel
And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.
10 et viderunt Deum Israhel sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini et quasi caelum cum serenum est
And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.
11 nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israhel misit manum suam videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt
And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.
12 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
And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.
13 surrexerunt Moses et Iosue minister eius ascendensque Moses in montem Dei
And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they 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 to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them.
15 cumque ascendisset Moses operuit nubes montem
And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai tegens illum nube sex diebus septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis
And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.
17 erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israhel
And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
18 ingressusque Moses medium nebulae ascendit in montem et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
