立約的儀式

24 耶和華對摩西說:“你要上到耶和華這裡來。你自己、亞倫、拿答、亞比戶和以色列長老中的七十人都要上來,你們要遠遠下拜。 只有摩西一人可以走近耶和華,他們卻不可以親近;人民也不可和摩西一同上來。” 摩西下來,把耶和華的一切話和一切典章都向人民講述;人民都同聲回答,說:“耶和華吩咐的一切話,我們都必遵行。” 摩西把耶和華的一切話都記下了;清早起來,在山下築了一座祭壇,按著以色列十二支派立了十二根柱子。 又派了以色列人中的青年人去獻燔祭,又向耶和華殺牛獻為平安祭。 摩西取了一半的血,盛在盆中;又取了另一半的血,灑在祭壇上。 他又把約書拿過來,念給人民聽;他們說:“耶和華吩咐的一切話,我們都必遵行和聽從。” 摩西就取了血來,灑在人民的身上,說:“看哪,這是立約的血,這約是耶和華按著這一切話與你們立的。”

隨後,摩西、亞倫、拿答、亞比戶和以色列長老中的七十人都上了山。 10 他們看見了以色列的 神;在 神的腳下有好像藍寶石一樣晶瑩的鋪路,好像天色一般明亮。 11 他不伸手攻擊以色列人中的顯貴;他們看見 神,並且又吃又喝。

摩西在西奈山上

12 耶和華對摩西說:“你要上山到我這裡來,要住在這裡;我要把石版,就是我所寫的律法和誡命賜給你,使你可以教導人民。” 13 於是,摩西和他的侍從約書亞起來;摩西就上到 神的山那裡去了。 14 但摩西對長老說:“你們要在這裡等候我們,直到我們再回到你們那裡來。看哪!這裡有亞倫和戶珥與你們在一起,誰有訴訟的案件,都可以到他們那裡去。” 15 摩西上到山上,有雲彩把山遮蓋著。 16 耶和華的榮耀停在西奈山上,雲彩把山遮蓋了六天;第七天,耶和華從雲彩中呼喚摩西。 17 耶和華榮耀的景象,在以色列人眼前,好像在山頂上出現烈火。 18 摩西進入雲彩中,上到山上去;摩西在山上四十晝夜。

24 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.

And Moses alone shall come near the Lord: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

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.

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.

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord.

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

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.

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.

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.

24 3 The people promise to obey God. 4 Moses writeth the civil Laws. 9, 13 Moses returneth into the mountain. 14 Aaron and Hur have the charge of the people.  18 Moses was forty days and forty nights in the mountain.

Now he had [a]said unto Moses, Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel, and ye shall worship afar off.

And Moses himself alone shall come near to the Lord, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.

[b]Afterward Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the [c]Laws: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, (A)All the things which the Lord hath said, will we do.

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord and rose up early, and set up an (B)altar [d]under the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he sent young [e]men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings of beeves, and sacrificed peace offerings unto the Lord.

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

After, he took the [f]book of the covenant, and read it in the audience of the people: who said, All that the Lord hath said, we will do, and be obedient.

Then Moses took the (C)blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the [g]blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these things.

¶ Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel.

10 And they [h]saw the God of Israel, and under his feet was as it were a [i]work of a Sapphire stone, and as the very heaven when it is clear.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he [j]laid not his hand: also they saw God, and [k]did eat and drink.

12 ¶ And the Lord [l]said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there, and I will give thee [m]tables of stone, and the Law, and the Commandment, which I have written, for to teach [n]them.

13 Then Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God,

14 And said unto the Elders, Tarry us here until we come again unto you: and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: whosoever hath any matters, let him come to them.

15 Then Moses went up to the mount, and the cloud covered the mountain,

16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered [o]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 [p]consuming fire on the top of the mountain, in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain and Moses was in the (D)mount forty days and forty nights.
