¹ 耶和华对摩西说：你和亚伦、拿答、亚比户，并以色列长老中的七十人，都要上到我这里来，远远的下拜。

² 惟独你可以亲近耶和华；他们却不可亲近；百姓也不可和你一同上来。

³ 摩西下山，将耶和华的命令典章都述说与百姓听。众百姓齐声说：耶和华所吩咐的，我们都必遵行。

⁴ 摩西将耶和华的命令都写上。清早起来，在山下筑一座坛，按以色列十二支派立十二根柱子，

⁵ 又打发以色列人中的少年人去献燔祭，又向耶和华献牛为平安祭。

⁶ 摩西将血一半盛在盆中，一半洒在坛上；

⁷ 又将约书念给百姓听。他们说：耶和华所吩咐的，我们都必遵行。

⁸ 摩西将血洒在百姓身上，说：你看！这是立约的血，是耶和华按这一切话与你们立约的凭据。

⁹ 摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户，并以色列长老中的七十人，都上了山。

¹⁰ 他们看见以色列的神，他脚下彷佛有平铺的蓝宝石，如同天色明净。

¹¹ 他的手不加害在以色列的尊者身上。他们观看神；他们又吃又喝。

¹² 耶和华对摩西说：你上山到我这里来，住在这里，我要将石版并我所写的律法和诫命赐给你，使你可以教训百姓。

¹³ 摩西和他的帮手约书亚起来，上了神的山。

¹⁴ 摩西对长老说：你们在这里等着，等到我们再回来，有亚伦、户珥与你们同在。凡有争讼的，都可以就近他们去。

¹⁵ 摩西上山，有云彩把山遮盖。

¹⁶ 耶和华的荣耀停於西乃山；云彩遮盖山六天，第七天他从云中召摩西。

¹⁷ 耶和华的荣耀在山顶上，在以色列人眼前，形状如烈火。

¹⁸ 摩西进入云中上山，在山上四十昼夜。

¹ He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

² Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

³ Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."

⁴ Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

⁶ Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷ He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

⁸ Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."

⁹ Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

¹⁰ They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

¹¹ He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

¹² Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."

¹³ Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

¹⁴ He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

¹⁵ Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

¹⁶ The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷ The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
