HARMONY OF THE LAW · VOLUME 2
9. When I was gone up into the mount, to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
9. Quum ascendissem in montem ut acciperem tabulas lapideas, tabulas faederis quod pepigerat Jehova vobiscum, tunc mansi in monte quadraginta noctes, ubi panem non comedi, et aquam non bibi.
10. And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God: and on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

13. Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
13. Tunc dixit mihi Jehova, Vidi populum hunc, et ecce, populus est durae cervicis.
