- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Cui ait Dominus : Vade, descende : ascendesque tu, et Aaron tecum : sacerdotes autem et populus ne transeant terminos, nec ascendant ad Dominum, ne forte interficiat illos.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Κύριος Βάδιζε κατάβηθι, καὶ ἀνάβηθι σὺ καὶ Ἀαρὼν μετὰ σοῦ· οἱ δὲ ἱερεῖς καὶ ὁ λαὸς μὴ βιαζέσθωσαν ἀναβῆναι πρὸς τὸν θεόν, μή ποτε ἀπολέσῃ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν Κύριος.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֤יו יְהוָה֙ לֶךְ רֵ֔ד וְעָלִ֥יתָ אַתָּ֖ה וְאַהֲרֹ֣ן עִמָּ֑ךְ וְהַכֹּהֲנִ֣ים וְהָעָ֗ם אַל יֶֽהֶרְס֛וּ לַעֲלֹ֥ת אֶל יְהוָ֖ה פֶּן יִפְרָץ בָּֽם
Haydock's commentary
Pass. Septuagint, "contend violently to pass." The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, Matthew xi. 12. (Menochius)
Moses was the mediator of this covenant, and Aaron his interpreter, to explain to the people the orders of Moses. (Calmet)
Thus we have seen the dreadful apparatus of the law of fear, with the preface to it, and the approbation of the people.
