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 the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship you afar off.

2 solusque Moses ascendet ad Dominum et illi non adpropinquabunt nec populus ascendet cum eo

And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come near; neither shall the people 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 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 has said will 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 wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 misitque iuvenes de filiis Israhel et obtulerunt holocausta immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.

6 tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras partem autem residuam fudit super altare

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on 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 in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said 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 has made with you concerning all these words.

9 ascenderuntque Moses et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israhel

Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, 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 God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

11 nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israhel misit manum suam videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt

And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw 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 mount, and be there: and I will give you tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that you may teach them.

13 surrexerunt Moses et Iosue minister eius ascendensque Moses in montem Dei

And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: 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 to the elders, Tarry you here for us, until we come again to you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come to them.

15 cumque ascendisset Moses operuit nubes montem

And Moses went up into the mount, and a 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 stayed on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

17 erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israhel

And the sight 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 Moses medium nebulae ascendit in montem et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus

And Moses went into the middle of the cloud, and got him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
