Mısır’dan Çıkış 24

¹Ve Musa'ya şöyle dedi: "Sen, Harun, Nadav, Abiyud ve İsrail'in ihtiyarlarından yetmiş kişi Rab'be doğru yukarı çıkın; ve uzaktan Rab'be secde edecekler.

²Ve Musa tek başına Tanrı'ya yaklaşacak, onlar ise yaklaşmayacaklar; halk da onlarla birlikte yukarı çıkmayacak."

³Ve Musa gelip halka Tanrı'nın bütün sözlerini ve hükümlerini anlattı; bütün halk tek bir sesle yanıt vererek, "Rab'bin konuştuğu bütün sözleri yerine getireceğiz ve itaat edeceğiz" dedi.

⁴Ve Musa Rab'bin bütün sözlerini yazdı; sabahleyin erkenden kalkarak dağın altında bir sunak inşa etti ve İsrail'in on iki oymağı için on iki taş dikti.

⁵Ve İsrail oğullarının gençlerini gönderdi; onlar yakmalık sunular sundular ve Tanrı'ya kurtuluş kurbanı olarak buzağılar kurban ettiler.

⁶Ve Musa kanın yarısını alıp tasların içine döktü, kanın diğer yarısını ise sunağa doğru serpti.

⁷Ve antlaşma kitabını alıp halkın kulaklarına okudu; onlar da, "Rab'bin konuştuğu her şeyi yerine getireceğiz ve itaat edeceğiz" dediler.

⁸Ve Musa kanı alıp halkın üzerine saçtı ve şöyle dedi: "İşte, bu sözlerin tümü uyarınca Rab'bin sizinle kestiği antlaşmanın kanı budur."

⁹Ve Musa, Harun, Nadav, Abiyud ve İsrail'in ihtiyar heyetinden yetmiş kişi yukarı çıktılar.

¹⁰Ve İsrail'in Tanrısı'nın durduğu yeri gördüler; ayaklarının altında sanki safir tuğla işi gibi bir döşeme vardı ve saflığında tıpkı gökyüzü kubbesinin görünüşü gibiydi.

¹¹Ve İsrail'in seçilmişlerinden tek bir kişi bile yok olmadı; Tanrı'nın yerinde görüldüler, yediler ve içtiler.

¹²Ve Rab Musa'ya, "Dağa, yanıma yukarı çık ve orada kal" dedi, "Onlara yasa koymak için yazdığım yasayı ve buyrukları içeren taştan tabletleri sana vereceğim."

¹³Ve Musa ile onun yanında duran Yeşu kalkıp Tanrı'nın dağına çıktılar.

¹⁴Ve ihtiyarlara, "Biz size geri dönünceye kadar burada sakin durun" dediler, "İşte Harun ve Hur sizinle birliktedir; eğer birinin bir davası olursa onlara başvursun."

¹⁵Ve Musa ile Yeşu dağa çıktı ve bulut dağı kapladı.

¹⁶Ve Tanrı'nın görkemi Sina Dağı'nın üzerine indi ve bulut onu altı gün boyunca kapladı; yedinci günde Rab, bulutun ortasından Musa'yı çağırdı.

¹⁷Rab'bin görkeminin görünüşü ise İsrail oğullarının gözü önünde, dağın tepesinde alev alev yanan bir ateş gibiydi.

¹⁸Ve Musa bulutun ortasına girdi ve dağa çıktı; orada, dağda kırk gün ve kırk gece kaldı.

¹ΚΑΙ Μωυσῇ εἶπεν· ἀνάβηθι πρὸς τὸν Κύριον σὺ καὶ ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ Ναδὰβ καὶ ᾿Αβιοὺδ καὶ ἑβδημήκοντα τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ προσκυνήσουσι μακρόθεν τῷ Κυρίῳ·

²καὶ ἐγγιεῖ Μωυσῆς μόνος πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιοῦσιν· ὁ δὲ λαὸς οὐ συναναβήσεται μετ᾿ αὐτῶν.

³εἰσῆλθε δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ διηγήσατο τῷ λαῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα· ἀπεκρίθη δὲ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς φωνῇ μιᾷ λέγοντες· πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ποιήσομεν καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα.

⁴καὶ ἔγραψε Μωυσῆς πάντα τὰ ρήματα Κυρίου. ὀρθρίσας δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ πρωΐ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον ὑπὸ τὸ ὄρος καὶ δώδεκα λίθους εἰς τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ·

⁵καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τοὺς νεανίσκους τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ ἔθυσαν θυσίαν σωτηρίου τῷ Θεῷ μοσχάρια.

⁶λαβὼν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ αἵματος ἐνέχεεν εἰς κρατῆρας, τὸ δὲ ἥμισυ τοῦ αἵματος προσέχεε πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον.

⁷καὶ λαβὼν τὸ βιβλίον τῆς διαθήκης ἀνέγνω εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν· πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ποιήσομεν καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα.

⁸λαβὼν δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ αἷμα κατεσκέδασε τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης, ἧς διέθετο Κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς περὶ πάντων τῶν λόγων τούτων.

⁹Καὶ ἀνέβη Μωυσῆς καὶ ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ Ναδὰβ καὶ ᾿Αβιοὺδ καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα τῆς γερουσίας ᾿Ισραήλ

¹⁰καὶ εἶδον τὸν τόπον, οὗ εἱστήκει ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ τά ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἔργον πλίνθου σαπφείρου καὶ ὥσπερ εἶδος στερεώματος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῇ καθαριότητι.

¹¹καὶ τῶν ἐπιλέκτων τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐ διεφώνησεν οὐδὲ εἷς· καὶ ὤφθησαν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον.

¹²καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἀνάβηθι πρός με εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἴσθι ἐκεῖ· καὶ δώσω σοι τὰ πυξία τὰ λίθινα, τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς, ἃς ἔγραψα νομοθετῆσαι αὐτοῖς.

¹³καὶ ἀναστὰς Μωυσῆς καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὁ παρεστηκὼς αὐτῷ ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ὄρος τοῦ Θεοῦ·

¹⁴καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις εἶπαν· ἡσυχάζετε αὐτοῦ, ἕως ἀναστρέψωμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἰδοὺ ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ ῍Ωρ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν· ἐάν τινι συμβῇ κρίσις, προσπορευέσθωσαν αὐτοῖς.

¹⁵καὶ ἀνέβη Μωυσῆς καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦς εἰς τό ὄρος, καί ἐκάλυψεν ἡ νεφέλη τὸ ὄρος.

¹⁶καὶ κατέβη ἡ δόξα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σινά, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὸ ἡ νεφέλη ἓξ ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐκάλεσε Κύριος τὸν Μωυσῆν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐκ μέσου τῆς νεφέλης.

¹⁷τὸ δὲ εἶδος τῆς δόξης Κυρίου ὡσεὶ πῦρ φλέγον ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹⁸καὶ εἰσῆλθε Μωυσῆς εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς νεφέλης καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας.

¹And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.

²And Moses alone shall draw nigh to God; and they shall not draw nigh, and the people shall not come up with them.

³And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.

⁴And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.

⁶And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.

⁷And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and hearken therein.

⁸And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.

⁹And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.

¹⁰And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.

¹¹And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.

¹²And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.

¹³And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.

¹⁴And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them.

¹⁵And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

¹⁶And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.

¹⁸And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
