¹立約的儀式耶和華對摩西說：“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。

¹He said to Moses, “Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

²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。”

²Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.”

³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。”

³Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.”

⁴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。

⁴Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵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。

⁵He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

⁶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。

⁶Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷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。”

⁷He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient.”

⁸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。”

⁸Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”

⁹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。

⁹Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

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。

¹⁰They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire or, lapis lazuli stone, like the skies for clearness.

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。

¹¹He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

¹²摩西在西奈山上耶和華對摩西說：“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。”

¹²Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”

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。

¹³Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.

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。”

¹⁴He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”

¹⁵摩西上到山上，有雲彩把山遮蓋著。

¹⁵Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

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。

¹⁶The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

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。

¹⁷The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸摩西進入雲彩中，上到山上去；摩西在山上四十晝夜。

¹⁸Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
