1Then [the LORD] said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD— you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders— and you are to worship at a distance. 1וְאֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֨ה אָמַ֜ר עֲלֵ֣ה אֶל־ יְהוָ֗ה אַתָּה֙ וְאַהֲרֹן֙ נָדָ֣ב וַאֲבִיה֔וּא וְשִׁבְעִ֖ים מִזִּקְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִיתֶ֖ם מֵרָחֹֽק׃
2Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others {must} not come near. And the people may not go up with him.” 2וְנִגַּ֨שׁ מֹשֶׁ֤ה לְבַדּוֹ֙ אֶל־ יְהוָ֔ה וְהֵ֖ם לֹ֣א יִגָּ֑שׁוּ וְהָעָ֕ם לֹ֥א יַעֲל֖וּ עִמּֽוֹ׃
3When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, [they] all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.” 3וַיָּבֹ֣א מֹשֶׁ֗ה וַיְסַפֵּ֤ר לָעָם֙ אֵ֚ת כָּל־ דִּבְרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־ הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֑ים וַיַּ֨עַן כָּל־ הָעָ֜ם ק֤וֹל אֶחָד֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ כָּל־ הַדְּבָרִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־ דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה נַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
4And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. {Early} the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. 4וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב מֹשֶׁ֗ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־ דִּבְרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֣ם בַּבֹּ֔קֶר וַיִּ֥בֶן מִזְבֵּ֖חַ תַּ֣חַת הָהָ֑ר וּשְׁתֵּ֤ים עֶשְׂרֵה֙ מַצֵּבָ֔ה לִשְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
5Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD. 5וַיִּשְׁלַ֗ח אֶֽת־ נַעֲרֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּֽעֲל֖וּ עֹלֹ֑ת וַֽיִּזְבְּח֞וּ זְבָחִ֧ים שְׁלָמִ֛ים לַיהוָ֖ה פָּרִֽים׃
6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. 6וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֹשֶׁה֙ חֲצִ֣י הַדָּ֔ם וַיָּ֖שֶׂם בָּאַגָּנֹ֑ת וַחֲצִ֣י הַדָּ֔ם זָרַ֖ק עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃
7Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.” 7וַיִּקַּח֙ סֵ֣פֶר הַבְּרִ֔ית וַיִּקְרָ֖א בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה נַעֲשֶׂ֥ה וְנִשְׁמָֽע׃
8So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.” 8וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶת־ הַדָּ֔ם וַיִּזְרֹ֖ק עַל־ הָעָ֑ם וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הִנֵּ֤ה דַֽם־ הַבְּרִית֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר כָּרַ֤ת יְהוָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם עַ֥ל כָּל־ הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
9Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 9וַיַּ֥עַל מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְאַהֲרֹ֑ן נָדָב֙ וַאֲבִיה֔וּא וְשִׁבְעִ֖ים מִזִּקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
10and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. 10וַיִּרְא֕וּ אֵ֖ת אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְתַ֣חַת רַגְלָ֗יו כְּמַעֲשֵׂה֙ לִבְנַ֣ת הַסַּפִּ֔יר וּכְעֶ֥צֶם הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם לָטֹֽהַר׃
11But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank. 11וְאֶל־ אֲצִילֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א שָׁלַ֖ח יָד֑וֹ וַֽיֶּחֱזוּ֙ אֶת־ הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּאכְל֖וּ וַיִּשְׁתּֽוּ׃ ס
12Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.” 12וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֗ה עֲלֵ֥ה אֵלַ֛י הָהָ֖רָה וֶהְיֵה־ שָׁ֑ם וְאֶתְּנָ֨ה לְךָ֜ אֶת־ לֻחֹ֣ת הָאֶ֗בֶן וְהַתּוֹרָה֙ וְהַמִּצְוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר כָּתַ֖בְתִּי לְהוֹרֹתָֽם׃
13So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God. 13וַיָּ֣קָם מֹשֶׁ֔ה וִיהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ מְשָׁרְת֑וֹ וַיַּ֥עַל מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶל־ הַ֥ר הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
14And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.” 14וְאֶל־ הַזְּקֵנִ֤ים אָמַר֙ שְׁבוּ־ לָ֣נוּ בָזֶ֔ה עַ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־ נָשׁ֖וּב אֲלֵיכֶ֑ם וְהִנֵּ֨ה אַהֲרֹ֤ן וְחוּר֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם מִי־ בַ֥עַל דְּבָרִ֖ים יִגַּ֥שׁ אֲלֵהֶֽם׃
15When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, 15וַיַּ֥עַל מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶל־ הָהָ֑ר וַיְכַ֥ס הֶעָנָ֖ן אֶת־ הָהָֽר׃
16and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day [the LORD] called to Moses from within the cloud. 16וַיִּשְׁכֹּ֤ן כְּבוֹד־ יְהוָה֙ עַל־ הַ֣ר סִינַ֔י וַיְכַסֵּ֥הוּ הֶעָנָ֖ן שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֑ים וַיִּקְרָ֧א אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֛ה בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י מִתּ֥וֹךְ הֶעָנָֽן׃
17And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites. 17וּמַרְאֵה֙ כְּב֣וֹד יְהוָ֔ה כְּאֵ֥שׁ אֹכֶ֖לֶת בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הָהָ֑ר לְעֵינֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
18Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights. 18וַיָּבֹ֥א מֹשֶׁ֛ה בְּת֥וֹךְ הֶעָנָ֖ן וַיַּ֣עַל אֶל־ הָהָ֑ר וַיְהִ֤י מֹשֶׁה֙ בָּהָ֔ר אַרְבָּעִ֣ים י֔וֹם וְאַרְבָּעִ֖ים לָֽיְלָה׃ פ
