Moses

And he let his kinsman depart: and he returned and went into his own country.

And Moses went up to God; and the Lord called unto him from the mountain, and said: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

Moses came; and calling together the elders of the people, he declared all the words which the Lord had commanded.

And all the people answered together: All that the Lord hath spoken, we will do. And when Moses had related the people's words to the Lord,

The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.

And he said to him: Go to the people, and sanctify them to day, and to morrow, and let them wash their garments.

And Moses came down from the mount to the people, and sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,

And when Moses had brought them forth to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the bottom of the mount.

And the sound of the trumpet grew by degrees louder and louder, and was drawn out to a greater length: Moses spoke, and God answered him.

And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, in the very top of the mount, and he called Moses unto the top thereof. And when he was gone up thither,

He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people; lest they should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them should perish.

And Moses said to the Lord: The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai: for thou didst charge, and command, saying: Set limits about the mount, and sanctify it.

And Moses went down to the people and told them all.

Saying to Moses: Speak thou to us, and we will hear: let not the Lord speak to us, lest we die.

And Moses said to the people: Fear not; for God is come to prove you, and that the dread of him might be in you, and you should not sin.

And the people stood afar off. But Moses went to the dark cloud wherein God was.

And the Lord said to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off.

And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.

So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken.

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning, he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls; and the rest he poured upon the altar.

And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up:

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 mayest teach them.
