Mosè kiteb il-kliem kollu tal-Mulej, u filgħodu qam, bena artal taħt il-muntanja, u waqqaf tnax-il plier
għat-tnax-il tribù ta' IŜrael. Imbagħad baghat xi ŜgħaŜagħ minn ulied IŜrael biex joffru sagrifiëëji u
joqtlu għoāāiela bħala sagrifiëëji tas-sliem lill-Mulej. Mosè ħa nofs id-demm u qiegħdu fi bwieqi, u
xerred in-nofs l-ieħor fuq l-artal. Imbagħad ħa l-ktieb tal-patt, u qara minnu hekk li seta' jisimgħu lpoplu. U huma qalu: “Kull ma qalilna l-Mulej nagħmluh, u nisimgħu minnu.” Mosè mbagħad ħa ddemm u, hu u jroxxu fuq il-poplu, qal: “Hawn hu d-demm tal-patt li l-Mulej għamel magħkom skont
dan il-kliem kollu.” (EŜodu 24, 4-8)
Moses put all Yahweh's words into writing, and early next morning he built an altar at the foot of the
mountain, with twelve standing-stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent certain young
Israelites to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice bullocks to Yahweh as communion sacrifices. Moses
then took half the blood and put it into basins and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. Then,
taking the Book of the Covenant, he read it to the listening people, who then said, 'We shall do
everything that Yahweh has said; we shall obey.' Moses then took the blood and sprinkled it over the
people, saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which Yahweh has made with you, entailing all these
stipulations.' (Exodus 24, 4-8)

kollha, iŜda meta tikber, tkun l-akbar waħda fost il-ħxejjex u ssir siāra, hekk li l-għasafar tal-ajru jiāu
