Moses

And Moses sendeth his father-in-law away, and he goeth away unto his own land.

And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, `Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,

And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;

and all the people answer together and say, `All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;' and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;' and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,

And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;

And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,

and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.

And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;

And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `The people is unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou--Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border for the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.'

And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: --

and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'

And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces--that ye sin not.'

And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God is .

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye--ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;

And unto Moses He said, `Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;'

and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they draw not nigh, and the people go not up with him.

And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer--one voice, and say, `All the words which Jehovah hath spoken we do.'

And Moses writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;

And Moses taketh half of the blood, and putteth in basins, and half of the blood hath he sprinkled on the altar;

And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, `Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.'

And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Come up unto Me to the mount, and be there, and I give to thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.'
