耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

1. And He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

2. And Moses alone shall come near the LORD, but they shall not come near. Neither shall the people go up with him.”

3. And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words which the LORD has said, we will do.”

4. And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar at the base of the mountain and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5. And he sent young men of the children of Israel who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of bullocks to the LORD.

6. And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7. And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, “All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient.”

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

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

10. And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the heavens in clearness.

11. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay his hands. Also they saw God, and ate and drank.

12. And the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me in the mountain, and be there. And I will give you tablets of stone, and the law, and commandments which I have written, so that you may teach them.”

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

14. And he said to the elders, “You wait here for us until we come again to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man has a cause, let him come to them.”

15. And Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain.

16. And the glory of the LORD abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17. And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes of the children of Israel.

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

 (A Faithful Version)

1. 耶和華對摩西說：你和亞倫、拿答、亞比戶來到大能者面前，以色列的七十位長老，在較遠的地方。

2. 摩西可以靠近一些，其他人不可，眾民要離得較遠。

3. 摩西照吩咐上領受前，再由他轉述耶和華的話。在場的人以及較遠的眾民聽罷，都同聲和應，會照大能的囑咐而行。

4. 摩西把郡耶和華一切話都記錄下來。翌日很早起來，在山下築壇，模仿以色列十二支派立十二根柱子。

5. 讓以色列的少年人負責向大能者獻燔祭事宜，如燃燒祭物，燒為平安祭而獻的公牛等事。

6. 摩西主持獻祭，放牛血的一半，盛在盆，另一半灑向祭壇。

7. 拿起約書，念給眾民。他們便回應，說：凡大能者囑咐的，都遵行。

8. 於是。摩西取牛血，灑向百姓，隨即宣告：這是立約的血，都是關乎所囑咐的。

9. 是我摩西、亞倫、拿答、亞比戶，並以色列的七十位長老，一起上去。

10. 我們與以色列相信那位會面。祂腳下彷彿鋪著藍寶石的路面，一如天空中那樣的澄澈。

11. 不曾見祂出手，卻待我們四位像以色列人的貴族一樣，有吃有喝。

12. 耶和華對摩西說：讓你到山上，是讓你把我吩咐的指示和規範在石頭上記錄下傳遞之用。

13. 這事以後，摩西和他一起的約書亞，上到這座耶和華曾出現的山上。

14. 摩西對眾長老說：大家在此等我，直到我們回來。亞倫和戶珥會留下來與你們一起。但凡有什麼申訴，都可以向他明言。

15. 摩西帶約書亞一起上山，山有雲彩圍繞。

16. 山下眾人都看到山上有耶和華的榮光發出。雲彩共圍繞六天。第七天，雲中有聲對摩西說話。

17. 山下的以色列人，看耶和華的榮光如同烈火在燒。

18. 摩西進入這雲繞的山中，共四十晝夜。

這段描述從來不曾聽過，它的意境，描述傳遞過程那份神聖的莊嚴，用四十晝夜，約書亞同摩西，一起一邊領受一邊刻劃，那份耐性和工藝，不是今日用紙的記載可比。它是刻在石上起在心上的東西。

這東西不是教條，不是律例，是人可以堂堂正正為人的箴言，對人的要求是拳拳到肉，刀刀見血，是正直人的天書，指引作為男人的光明正大 (當時只有男人有力去覓食養家)。與今日的律師相比，是強烈的對比，摩西和約書亞，他們的事跡是強者之為，這是在信仰中自強。

這處記述和今日為此事傳述的感覺和印象，那是一個強烈的對比。若看官有同感，傳出去讓你身邊的人先得啟蒙，真得福氣。總覺得這體會是耶和華親自的啟示，有點像當時的摩西，是對人的知識，竟然與世間人界中是截然的不同。

信耶和華真實存在，絕對有這樣的信心。
