[45] παρειστήκει δὲ ὁ λεὼς ἁγνεύσας ὁμιλιῶν τῶν πρὸς γυναῖκας καὶ πασῶν ἡδονῶν ἔξω τῶν πρὸς τροφὰς ἀναγκαίων ἀποσχόμενος, λουτροῖς τε καὶ περιρραντηρίοις καθηράμενος
ἐκ τριῶν ἡμερῶν, ἔτι καὶ τὰς ἐσθῆτας ἀποπλυνάμενος, ἐν τοῖς μάλιστα λευχείμων, ἀκροβατῶν καὶ ἀνωρθιακὼς τὰ ὦτα, Μωυσέως προδηλώσαντος εὐτρεπίζεσθαι πρὸς ἐκκλησίαν· ἔγνω γὰρ αὐτὴν ἐσομένην, ἡνίκα μόνος ἀνακληθεὶς ἐχρησμῳδεῖτο.

[45] And the people stood by, having kept themselves clean from all connection with women, and having abstained from all pleasures, except those which arise from a participation in necessary food, having been purifying themselves with baths and ablutions for three days, and having washed their garments and being all clothed in the purest white robes, and standing on tiptoe and pricking up their ears, in compliance with the exhortations of Moses, who had forewarned them to prepare for the solemn assembly; for he knew that such would take place, when he, having been summoned up alone, gave forth the prophetic commands of God.
