1. TO Moyses also he said: Goe vp to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and
seuentie Ancientes of Israel, and you shal adore a farre of.
2. And Moyses onlie shal ascend to the Lord, and they shal not approach: neither shal
the people ascend with him.
3. Moyses therfore came and told the people al the wordes of our Lord, and the
iudgementes: and al the people answered with one voice: Al the wordes of our Lord, which he
hath spoken we wil doe.
4. And Moyses wrote al the wordes of our Lord: and rising in the morning he builded
an Altar at the foote of the mount, & twelue titles according the twelue tribes of Israel.
5. And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocaustes, and
sacrificed pacifique victimes to our Lord, calues.
6. Moyses therfore tooke the halfe part of the bloud, and put it into bowles: and the
residue he powred vpon the Altar.
7. And taking the volume of the couenant, he reade the people hearing it: Who said: Al
thinges that our Lord hath spoken, we wil doe, and we wil be obedient.
8. And he tooke the bloud, and sprinkled it vpon the people, and said: This is the
bloud of the Couenant which our Lord hath made with you vpon al these wordes.
9. And there went vp Moyses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seuentie of the ancientes of
Israel:
10. and they saw the God of Israel: and vnder his feete as it were a worke of
sapphirstone, and as the heauen, when it is clere.
11. Neither did he set his hand vpon those of the children of Israel, that retired farre
of, and they saw God, and did eate, and drinke.
12. And our Lord said to Moyses: Come vp to me into the mount, and be there: and I wil
geue thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandementes which I haue written: that thou
maist teach them.
13. Moyses rose vp, and his minister Iosue: and Moyses ascending into the mount of God,
14. said to the Ancientes: Expect here til we returne to you, you haue Aaron and Hur with
you: If anie question shal rise, you shal referre it to them.
15. And when Moyses was ascended, a cloud couered the mount,
16. and the glorie of our Lord dwelt vpon Sinai, couering it with a cloud six dayes, and
the seuenth day he called him out of the middes of the darkenesse.
17. And the forme of the glorie of our Lord, was as it were fire burning vpon the toppe
of the mount, in the sight of the children of Israel.
18. And Moyses entring into the middes of the cloude, ascended into the mount: and he was
there fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes.
