Exodus 24

VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Moysi quoque dixit : Ascende ad Dominum tu, et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta senes ex Israël, et adorabitis procul.	1 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 afar off.
2 Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt : nec populus ascendet cum eo.	2 Moses alone shall come near to the LORD; but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him."
3 Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini, atque judicia : responditque omnis populus una voce : Omnia verba Domini, quæ locutus est, faciemus.	3 Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which the LORD has spoken we will do."
4 Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini : et mane consurgens, ædificavit altare ad radices montis, et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israël.	4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Misitque juvenes de filiis Israël, et obtulerunt holocausta, immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino, vitulos.	5 And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.
6 Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis, et misit in crateras : partem autem residuam fudit super altare.	6 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar.
7 Assumensque volumen f?deris, legit audiente populo : qui dixerunt : Omnia quæ locutus est Dominus, faciemus, et erimus obedientes.	7 Then he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the hearing of the people; and they 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 f?deris quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his.	8 And Moses took the blood and threw it upon the people, and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."
9 Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta de senioribus Israël :	9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,
10 et viderunt Deum Israël : et sub pedibus ejus quasi opus lapidis sapphirini, et quasi cælum, cum serenum est.	10 and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.
11 Nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israël, misit manum suam, videruntque Deum, et comederunt, ac biberunt.	11 And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and 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 quæ scripsi : ut doceas eos.	12 The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tables of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction."
13 Surrexerunt Moyses et Josue minister ejus : ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei,	13 So Moses rose with his servant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
14 senioribus ait : Expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum : si quid natum fuerit quæstionis, referetis ad eos.	14 And he said to the elders, "Tarry here for us, until we come to you again; and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a cause, let him go to them."
15 Cumque ascendisset Moyses, operuit nubes montem,	15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the 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 The glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 Erat autem species gloriæ Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israël.	17 Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.
18 Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulæ, ascendit in montem : et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus.	18 And Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
