1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
3 ¶ And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
9 ¶ Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
12 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. 13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God. 14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

1 Un Mozum viņš teica: “Kāpiet augšup pie Kunga, tu, Ārons, Nādābs, Abīhū un septiņdesmit no Israēla vecajiem, un zemojieties jau iztālēm! 2 Lai Mozus tuvojas Kungam viens pats, bet viņi lai netuvojas, lai ļaudis nekāpj kopā ar viņu.” 3 Tad Mozus nāca un pastāstīja tautai visus Kunga vārdus un tiesas, un tauta atbildēja visi kā viens: “Mēs darīsim visu, ko Kungs ir runājis!” 4 Mozus pierakstīja visus Kunga vārdus. Viņš cēlās agri no rīta un kalna pakājē uzcēla altāri un uzslēja divpadsmit piemiņas stabus pēc divpadsmit Israēla ciltīm. 5 Tad viņš sūtīja israēliešu jaunekļus, un tie upurēja Kungam sadedzināmos upurus un miera kaujamos upurus – vēršus. 6 Mozus ņēma pusi no asinīm un salēja bļodās, bet pusi asiņu viņš slacīja pār altāri. 7 Tad viņš paņēma derības grāmatu, lasīja to, tautai dzirdot, un viņi teica: “Mēs darīsim visu, ko runājis Kungs, un mēs klausīsim!” 8 Tad Mozus ņēma asinis, slacīja pār tautu un teica: “Redzi, šīs ir derības asinis, ko Kungs ar jums slēdzis par visām šīm lietām!”
Kalnā ar Dievu
9 Tad Mozus un Ārons, Nādābs un Abīhū, un septiņdesmit Israēla vecajie kāpa kalnā. 10 Un viņi ieraudzīja Israēla Dievu – zem viņa kājām bija kā safīra ķieģeļu klājums, kā pašas debesis savā šķīstumā! 11 Viņš roku necēla pret Israēla dēlu vadoņiem! Tie skatīja Dievu, ēda un dzēra!
12 Un Kungs teica Mozum: “Kāp pie manis kalnā un paliec te, un es došu tev akmens plāksnes – bauslību un pavēles, ko es esmu rakstījis tiem par pamācību!” 13 Un cēlās Mozus un Jozua, viņa kalps, un Mozus uzkāpa Dieva kalnā. 14 Bet vecajiem viņš teica: “Palieciet šeit mūsu vietā, kamēr mēs pie jums atgriezīsimies, un, redzi, pie jums paliek Ārons un Hūrs. Kam ir kāda lieta, tas lai iet pie viņiem.” 15 Mozus uzkāpa kalnā, un kalnu apklāja mākonis. 16 Kunga godība iemājoja Sīnaja kalnā, mākonis to klāja sešas dienas, un septītajā dienā viņš sauca uz Mozu no mākoņa vidus. 17 Kunga godība Israēla dēliem likās kā rijoša uguns kalna galā. 18 Un Mozus iegāja mākonī un uzkāpa kalnā. Mozus bija kalnā četrdesmit dienas un četrdesmit naktis.
