10. And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear.
11. Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink.
12. And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them.
13. Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,
14. Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it to them.
15. And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.
16. And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the cloud.
17. And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18. And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.
