1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

3 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 hath said will we do. 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 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 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. 13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God. 14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 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 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

1 耶和华对摩西说： "你要上到耶和华这里来。你自己、亚伦、拿答、亚比户和以色列长老中的七十人都要上来， 你们要远远下拜。

2 只有摩西一人可以走近耶和华， 他们却不可以亲近； 人民也不可和摩西一同上来。"

3 摩西下来， 把耶和华的一切话和一切典章都向人民讲述； 人民都同声回答， 说： "耶和华吩咐的一切话， 我们都必遵行。"

4 摩西把耶和华的一切话都记下了； 清早起来， 在山下筑了一座祭坛， 按着以色列十二支派立了十二根柱子。

5 又派了以色列人中的青年人去献燔祭， 又向耶和华杀牛献为平安祭。

6 摩西取了一半的血， 盛在盆中； 又取了另一半的血， 洒在祭坛上。

7 他又把约书拿过来， 念给人民听； 他们说： "耶和华吩咐的一切话， 我们都必遵行和听从。"

8 摩西就取了血来， 洒在人民的身上， 说： "看哪， 这是立约的血， 这约是耶和华按着这一切话与你们立的。"

9 随后， 摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户和以色列长老中的七十人都上了山。

10 他们看见了以色列的 神； 在 神的脚下有好像蓝宝石一样晶莹的铺路， 好像天色一般明亮。

11 他不伸手攻击以色列人中的显贵； 他们看见 神， 并且又吃又喝。

12 耶和华对摩西说： "你要上山到我这里来， 要住在这里； 我要把石版， 就是我所写的律法和诫命赐给你， 使你可以教导人民。"

13 于是， 摩西和他的侍从约书亚起来； 摩西就上到 神的山那里去了。

14 但摩西对长老说： "你们要在这里等候我们， 直到我们再回到你们那里来。看哪！ 这里有亚伦和户珥与你们在一起， 谁有诉讼的案件， 都可以到他们那里去。"

15 摩西上到山上， 有云彩把山遮盖着。

16 耶和华的荣耀停在西奈山上， 云彩把山遮盖了六天； 第七天， 耶和华从云彩中呼唤摩西。

17 耶和华荣耀的景象， 在以色列人眼前， 好像在山顶上出现烈火。

18 摩西进入云彩中， 上到山上去； 摩西在山上四十昼夜。
