Exodus 24

1 Καὶ Μωυσῇ εἶπεν, ἀνάβηθι πρὸς τὸν Κύριον σὺ καὶ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ Ναδὰβ, καὶ Ἀβιοὺδ, καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ προσκυνήσουσι μακρόθεν τῷ Κυρίῳ.

2 Καὶ ἐγγιεῖ Μωσῆς μόνος πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιοῦσιν, ὁ δὲ λαὸς οὐ συναναβήσεται μετʼ αὐτῶν.

3 Εἰσῆλθε δὲ Μωυσῆς, καὶ διηγήσατο τῷ λαῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα· ἀπεκρίθη δὲ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς φωνῇ μιᾷ, λέγοντες, πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ποιήσομεν, καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα.

4 Καὶ ἔγραψε Μωυσῆς πάντα τὰ ῥήματα Κυρίου· ὀρθρίσας δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ πρωῒ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον ὑπὸ τὸ ὄρος, καὶ δώδεκα λίθους εἰς τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

5 Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τοὺς νεανίσκους τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα· καὶ ἔθυσαν θυσίαν σωτηρίου τῷ Θεῷ μοσχάρια.

6 Λαβὼν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ αἵματος, ἐνέχεεν εἰς κρατῆρας, τὸ δὲ ἥμισυ τοῦ αἵματος προσέχεε πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον.

7 Καὶ λαβὼν τὸ βιβλίον τῆς διαθήκης, ἀνέγνω εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ· καὶ εἶπαν, πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ποιήσομεν καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα.

8 Λαβὼν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ αἷμα, κατεσκέδασε τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης, ἧς διέθετο Κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς περὶ πάντων τῶν λόγων τούτων.

9 Καὶ ἀνέβη Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ Ναδὰβ, καὶ Ἀβιοῦδ, καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα τῆς γερουσίας Ἰσραήλ.

10 Καὶ εἶδον τὸν τόπον οὗ εἱστήκει ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ τὰ ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, ὡσεὶ ἔργον πλίνθου σαπφείρου, καὶ ὥσπερ εἶδος στερεώματος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῇ καθαριότητι.

11 Καὶ τῶν ἐπιλέκτων τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὐ διεφώνησεν οὐδὲ εἷς· καὶ ὤφθησαν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον.

12 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ἀνάβηθι πρὸς με εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ ἴσθι ἐκεῖ· καὶ δώσω σοι τὰ πυξία τὰ λίθινα, τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολας, ἃς ἔγραψα νομοθετῆσαι αὐτοῖς.

13 Καὶ ἀναστὰς Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ παρεστηκὼς αὐτῷ, ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τοῦ Θεοῦ.

14 Καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις εἶπαν, ἡσυχάζετε αὐτοῦ, ἕως ἀναστρέψωμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἀαρὼν καὶ Ὢρ μεθʼ ὑμῶν· ἐάν τινι συμβῇ κρίσις, προσπορευέσθωσαν αὐτοῖς.

15 Καὶ ἀνέβη Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ὄρος· καὶ ἐκάλυψεν ἡ νεφέλη τὸ ὄρος.

16 Καὶ κατέβη ἡ δόξα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σινὰ, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὸ ἡ νεφέλη ἓξ ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐκάλεσε Κύριος τὸν Μωυσῆν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐκ μέσου τῆς νεφέλης.

17 Τὸ δὲ εἶδος τῆς δόξης Κυρίου, ὡσεὶ πῦρ φλέγον ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους, ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.

18 Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Μωυσῆς εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς νεφέλης, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος· καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας.

1 And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.

2 And Moses alone shall draw nigh to God; and they shall not draw nigh, and the people shall not come up with them.

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.

hearken.

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.

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.

6 And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.

7 And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and hearken therein.

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.

9 And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of 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.

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.

where God was.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.

13 And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.

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.

15 And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

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.

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.

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.
