Exodus · Chapter 24

[ edit] To Moyſes forſoþe he ſeide, Stye vp to þe Lord, þou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abyu, and þe ſeuenti aldren of Yrael; and ȝe ſhulen anowrn afer, and oonly Moyſes ſtey vp to þe Lord, and þei ſhulen not neiz to hym, ne þe puple ſhal ſtye vp wiþ him. Þanne Moyſes came, and tolde to þe puple alle þe wordis of þe Lord, and þe domes; and al þe puple anſwerde wiþ o voys, Alle þe wordis of þe Lord þat he haþ ſpokun, we ſhulen do. Moyſes forſoþe wrote alle þe wordes of þe Lord; and eerli ryſynge, he bildide an auteer to þe Lord at þe rotis of þe hil, and twelue titlis by twelue lynagis of Yrael.

And he ſente þe ȝong men of þe ſones of Yrael, and þei offreden alle brent ſacrifices, and þei offreden peſible ſacrifice to þe Lord, twelue calues. And ſo Moyſes took þe half parti of þe blood, and putte it into chalices; and þat oþer party he ſhedde vpon þe auteer. And takynge to þe book of þe couenaunt of pees, radde, herynge þe puple, þe whiche ſeiden, Alle þingis þat þe Lord haþ ſpokun we ſhulen do, and we ſhulen be obeyſaunt. He forſoþe þe blood takun ſprengide into þe puple, and ſeiþ, Þis is þe blood of þe boond of pees, þat þe Lord couenauntide wiþ ȝow vpon alle þes wordes.

And Moyſes, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abyu, and þe ſeuenty of þe aldren of Yrael, ſtieden vp, and ſeen þe God of Yrael, vndur þe feet of him, as a werk of a ſaphire ſtoon, as heuene whanne it is bryȝt. Alſo vpon hem þat ȝeden fer awey fro þe ſones of Yrael he ſente his hoond; and þei ſeen God, and eten and drunken. Þe Lord forſoþe ſeide to Moyſes, Stye vp to me into þe hil, and be þere, and Y ſhal ȝyue to þee ſtonun tablis, and þe lawe, and mawndementis þat Y haue wrytun, þat þow teche hem.

And Moyſes and Joſue his ſeruaunt ryſen, and Moyſes ſtiynge vp into þe hil of God, ſeiþ to þe aldren, Abide ȝe here to þe tyme þat we turnen aȝen to ȝow; ȝe han Aaron and Hur wiþ ȝow, if eny þing of queſtioun were ſprongun, ȝe ſhulen telle it to hem. And whanne Moyſes hadde ſtyed vp, a clowd couerde þe hil, and þe glorye of þe Lord dwellide vpon Synay, couerynge it wiþ a clowd ſix dayes; þe ſeuenþe forſoþe day þe Lord clepide hym fro þe mydil of þe derknes; and þe liknes of þe glorie of þe Lord was as brennynge fyer vpon þe cop of þe hil in þe ſiȝt of þe ſones of Yrael. And Moyſes goon into þe myddil of þe clowd, ſtyede vp into þe hil, and was þere fourti dayes and fourti nyȝtis.
