1 Moysi quoque dixit: “ Ascende ad Dominum, tu et Aa ron, Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta senes ex Israel, et adorabitis procul.	1 He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.
2 Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt, nec populus ascendet cum eo ”.	2 And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”
3 Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini atque iudicia; responditque omnis populus una voce: “ Omnia verba Domini, quae locutus est, faciemus ”.	3 Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”
4 Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini; et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis et duodecim lapides per duodecim tribus Israel.	4 Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Misitque iuvenes de filiis Israel, et obtulerunt holocausta; immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos.	5 And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.
6 Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras; partem autem residuam respersit super altare.	6 And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.
7 Assumensque volumen foederis legit, audiente populo, qui dixerunt: “ Omnia, quae locutus est Dominus, faciemus et erimus oboedientes ”.	7 And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”
8 Ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum et ait: “ Hic est sanguis foederis, quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his ”.	8 In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”
9 Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israel.	9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.
10 Et viderunt Deum Israel, et sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini et quasi ipsum caelum, cum serenum est.	10 And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.
11 Nec in electos filiorum Israel misit manum suam; videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt.	11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 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 ”.	12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”
13 Surrexerunt Moyses et Iosue minister eius; ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei	13 Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,
14 senioribus ait: “ Exspectate hic, donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum; si quid natum fuerit quaestionis, referetis ad eos ”.	14 said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”
15 Cumque ascendisset Moyses in montem, operuit nubes montem;	15 And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.
16 et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai tegens illum nube sex diebus; septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis.	16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.
17 Erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israel.	17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.
18 Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulae ascendit in montem; et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.	18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.
