اَلْخُرُوجُ 24

١ 1 وَقَالَ لِمُوسَى: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْتَ وَهَارُونُ وَنَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو، وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱسْجُدُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

He said to Moses [Drawn out], “Come up to Adonai, you, and Aaron [Light-bringer], Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel [God prevails]; and worship from a distance.

٢ 2 وَيَقْتَرِبُ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُمْ لَا يَقْتَرِبُونَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَلَا يَصْعَدْ مَعَهُ».

Moses [Drawn out] alone shall come near to Adonai, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

٣ 3 فَجَاءَ مُوسَى وَحَدَّثَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِجَمِيعِ أَقْوَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَحْكَامِ، فَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِصَوْتٍ وَاحِدٍ وَقَالُوا: «كُلُّ ٱلْأَقْوَالِ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُ».

Moses [Drawn out] came and told the people all Adonai’s words, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Adonai has spoken will we do.”

٤ 4 فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى جَمِيعَ أَقْوَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَبَكَّرَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَبَنَى مَذْبَحًا فِي أَسْفَلِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَمُودًا لِأَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

Moses [Drawn out] wrote all Adonai’s words, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel [God prevails].

٥ 5 وَأَرْسَلَ فِتْيَانَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ، وَذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ.

He sent young men of the children of Israel [God prevails], who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Adonai.

٦ 6 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى نِصْفَ ٱلدَّمِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي ٱلطُّسُوسِ. وَنِصْفَ ٱلدَّمِ رَشَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

Moses [Drawn out] took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

٧ 7 وَأَخَذَ كِتَابَ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَقَرَأَ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَقَالُوا: «كُلُّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُ وَنَسْمَعُ لَهُ».

He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “All that Adonai has spoken will we do, and be sh'ma ·hear obey·.”

٨ 8 وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى ٱلدَّمَ وَرَشَّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا دَمُ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالِ».

Moses [Drawn out] took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, which Adonai has made with you concerning all these words.”

٩ 9 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَنَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Then Moses [Drawn out], Aaron [Light-bringer], Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel [God prevails] went up.

١٠ 10 وَرَأَوْا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ شِبْهُ صَنْعَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَقِيقِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ ٱلشَّفَّافِ، وَكَذَاتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي ٱلنَّقَاوَةِ.

They saw the God of Israel [God prevails]. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

١١ 11 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى أَشْرَافِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَرَأَوْا ٱللهَ وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا.

He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel [God prevails]. They saw God, and ate and drank.

١٢ 12 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَيَّ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَكُنْ هُنَاكَ، فَأُعْطِيَكَ لَوْحَيِ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ وَٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبْتُهَا لِتَعْلِيمِهِمْ».

Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the Torah ·Teaching· and the mitzvot ·instructions· that I have written, that you may teach them.”

١٣ 13 فَقَامَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ خَادِمُهُ. وَصَعِدَ مُوسَى إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ.

Moses [Drawn out] rose up with Joshua [Salvation Yah], his servant, and Moses [Drawn out] went up onto God’s Mountain.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا ٱلشُّيُوخُ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱجْلِسُوا لَنَا هَهُنَا حَتَّى نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ. وَهُوَذَا هَارُونُ وَحُورُ مَعَكُمْ. فَمَنْ كَانَ صَاحِبَ دَعْوَى فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَيْهِمَا».

He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron [Light-bringer] and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”

١٥ 15 فَصَعِدَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، فَغَطَّى ٱلسَّحَابُ ٱلْجَبَلَ،

Moses [Drawn out] went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

١٦ 16 وَحَلَّ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَغَطَّاهُ ٱلسَّحَابُ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ دُعِيَ مُوسَى مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلسَّحَابِ.

Adonai’s shekhinah [manifest weighty glory and presence of God] settled on Mount Sinai [Thorn], and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses [Drawn out] out of the middle of the cloud.

١٧ 17 وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The appearance of the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel [God prevails].

١٨ 18 وَدَخَلَ مُوسَى فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسَّحَابِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. وَكَانَ مُوسَى فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً.

Moses [Drawn out] entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses [Drawn out] was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
