Exodus 24
1 And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, you and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.
Moysi quoque dixit: Ascende ad Dominum tu, et Aaron, Nadab, et Abiu, et septuaginta senes ex Israel, et adorabitis procul.
2 And Moses alone shall draw near to God; and they shall not draw near, and the people shall not come up with them.
Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt: nec populus ascendet cum eo.
3 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.
Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini, atque iudicia: responditque omnis populus una voce: Omnia verba Domini, quae locutus est, faciemus.
4 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.
Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini: et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis, et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israel.
5 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.
Misitque iuvenes de filiis Israel, et obtulerunt holocausta, immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino, vitulos duodecim.
6 And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.
Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis, et misit in crateras: partem autem residuam fudit super altare.
7 And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatever the Lord has spoken we will do and listen therein.
Assumensque volumen foederis, legit audiente populo: qui dixerunt: Omnia quae locutus est Dominus, faciemus, et erimus obedientes.
8 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.
Ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum, et ait: Hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his.
9 And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.
Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta de senioribus Israel:
10 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.
et viderunt Deum Israel: et sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini, et quasi caelum, cum serenum est.
11 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.
Nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israel, misit manum suam, videruntque Deum, et comederunt, ac biberunt.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give you the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.
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.
13 And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.
Surrexerunt Moyses et Iosue minister eius: ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei,
14 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.
senioribus ait: Expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum: si quid natum fuerit quaestionis, referetis ad eos.
15 And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
Cumque ascendisset Moyses, operuit nubes montem,
16 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.
et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai, tegens illum nube sex diebus: septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis.
17 And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
Erat autem species gloriae Domini, quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israel.
18 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.
Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulae, ascendit in montem: et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus.
