Exodus 24:12-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them.

¹³ Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,

¹⁴ Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it to them.

¹⁵ And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.

¹⁶ And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷ And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.
