出埃及記 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
在西奈山立約
24 耶和華又指示摩西說：「你和亞倫、拿答、亞比戶及以色列的七十位長老上我這裡來，遠遠地敬拜我。 2 只有你可以靠近我，其他人，包括全體百姓，都不得走近。」
3 摩西下山把耶和華的話和法令都告訴百姓，百姓齊聲回答：「我們願意遵行耶和華的一切吩咐。」 4 摩西把耶和華的這些話記錄下來。第二天清晨，摩西在山腳築了一座壇，立了十二根柱子代表以色列的十二支派。 5 他又吩咐以色列的青年去給耶和華獻燔祭，又獻上公牛作平安祭。 6 摩西把祭牲的血一半放在盆裡，一半灑在壇上。 7 他又把約書念給百姓聽，百姓聽了都說：「我們願意遵行耶和華的一切吩咐，我們願意順服。」 8 摩西便把盆中的血灑在百姓身上，說：「這是立約的血，是耶和華按所說的話與你們立約的憑據。」
9 之後，摩西、亞倫、拿答、亞比戶及七十位長老便上了山。 10 他們都看見了以色列的上帝，祂的腳下好像是一片藍寶石，像天一樣明淨。 11 上帝沒有伸手殺這些以色列的首領，允許他們看見祂，在祂面前吃喝。
12 耶和華對摩西說：「你上山到我這裡來，留在這裡，我要把寫著律法和誡命的石版賜給你，你可以用來教導百姓。」 13 於是，摩西帶著他的助手約書亞動身上了上帝的山。 14 離開之前，摩西吩咐長老說：「你們在這裡等候我們回來。亞倫和戶珥跟你們在一起，百姓當中有什麼訴訟的事情，可以交給他們處理。」
15 摩西上了山，密雲遮蓋著整座山。 16 耶和華的榮耀停留在西奈山上，密雲遮蓋了山六天。第七天，耶和華在雲中召喚摩西。 17 在以色列人眼中，耶和華的榮耀在山上好像烈火。 18 摩西上到山上，走進雲中，在那裡停留了四十晝夜。
Exodus 24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Covenant Ceremony
24 Then He said to Moses, “Go up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and 70 of Israel’s elders,(A) and bow in worship at a distance. 2 Moses alone is to approach the Lord, but the others are not to approach, and the people are not to go up with him.”
3 Moses came and told the people all the commands of the Lord and all the ordinances. Then all the people responded with a single voice, “We will do everything that the Lord has commanded.”(B) 4 And Moses wrote(C) down all the words of the Lord. He rose early the next morning and set up an altar and 12 pillars for the 12 tribes of Israel at the base of the mountain. 5 Then he sent out young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord. 6 Moses took half the blood and set it in basins; the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 He then took the covenant scroll and read it aloud to the people. They responded, “We will do and obey everything that the Lord has commanded.”
8 Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.”(D)
9 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and 70 of Israel’s elders, 10 and they saw(E) the God of Israel. Beneath His feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire[a] stone, as clear as the sky itself.(F) 11 God did not harm[b] the Israelite nobles; they saw(G) Him, and they ate and drank.
12 The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay there so that I may give you the stone tablets(H) with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
13 So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua and went up the mountain of God.(I) 14 He told the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute should go to them.” 15 When Moses went up the mountain, the cloud(J) covered it. 16 The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day He called to Moses from the cloud.(K) 17 The appearance of the Lord’s glory to the Israelites was like a consuming fire(L) on the mountaintop. 18 Moses entered the cloud as he went up the mountain, and he remained on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights.(M)
