Exodus 24
1 Mosi quoque dixit ascende ad Dominum tu et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta senes ex Israhel et adorabitis procul
And He said to Moses, “Come up to YHWH, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel, and you have bowed yourselves far off”;
2 solusque Moses ascendet ad Dominum et illi non adpropinquabunt nec populus ascendet cum eo
and Moses has drawn near to YHWH by himself; and they do not draw near, and the people do not go up with him.
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 comes in, and recounts to the people all the words of YHWH, and all the judgments, and all the people answer [with] one voice, and say, “All the words which YHWH has spoken we do.”
4 scripsit autem Moses universos sermones Domini et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israhel
And Moses writes all the words of YHWH, and rises early in the morning, and builds an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;
5 misitque iuvenes de filiis Israhel et obtulerunt holocausta immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos
and he sends the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH—calves.
6 tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras partem autem residuam fudit super altare
And Moses takes half of the blood and puts [it] in basins, and he has sprinkled half of the blood on the altar;
7 adsumensque volumen foederis legit audiente populo qui dixerunt omnia quae locutus est Dominus faciemus et erimus oboedientes
and he takes the Scroll of the Covenant, and proclaims [it] in the ears of the people, and they say, “All that which YHWH has spoken we do, and we obey.”
8 ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum et ait hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his
And Moses takes the blood and sprinkles [it] on the people, and says, “Behold, the blood of the covenant which YHWH has made with you, concerning all these things.”
9 ascenderuntque Moses et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israhel
And Moses goes up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel,
10 et viderunt Deum Israhel sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini et quasi caelum cum serenum est
and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the work of a pavement of sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;
11 nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israhel misit manum suam videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt
and He has not put forth His hand to those of the sons of Israel who are near, and they see God, and 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Come up to Me [on] the mountain and be there, and I give to you the tablets of stone, and the Law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.”
13 surrexerunt Moses et Iosue minister eius ascendensque Moses in montem Dei
And Moses rises—his minister Joshua also—and Moses goes up to the mountain 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 has said to the elderly, “Abide for us in this [place] until we return to you, and behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you—he who has matters comes near to them.”
15 cumque ascendisset Moses operuit nubes montem
And Moses goes up to the mountain, and the cloud covers 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 YHWH dwells on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covers it [for] six days, and He calls to Moses on the seventh day from 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 YHWH [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;
18 ingressusque Moses medium nebulae ascendit in montem et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus
and Moses goes into the midst of the cloud, and goes up to the mountain, and Moses is on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
