Exodus 24

1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off:

Depois disse a Moisés: Sobe ao Senhor, tu e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e inclinai-vos de longe.

2 and Moses alone shall come near unto the LORD; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

E Moisés só se chegará ao Senhor; mas eles não se cheguem, nem o povo suba com ele.

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 hath spoken will we do.

Vindo pois Moisés, e contando ao povo todas as palavras do Senhor, e todos os estatutos, então o povo respondeu a uma voz, e disseram: Todas as palavras, que o Senhor tem falado, faremos.

4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

E Moisés escreveu todas as palavras do Senhor, e levantou-se pela manhã de madrugada, e edificou um altar ao pé do monte, e doze monumentos, segundo as doze tribos de Israel;

5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

E enviou os mancebos dos filhos de Israel, os quais ofereceram holocaustos, e sacrificaram ao Senhor sacrifícios pacíficos de bezerros.

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

E Moisés tomou a metade do sangue, e a pôs em bacias; e a outra metade do sangue espargiu sobre o altar.

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath spoken will we do, and be obedient.

E tomou o livro do concerto e o leu aos ouvidos do povo, e eles disseram: Tudo o que o Senhor tem falado faremos, e obedeceremos.

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

Então tomou Moisés aquele sangue, e espargiu-o sobre o povo, e disse: eis aqui o sangue do concerto que o Senhor tem feito convosco sobre todas estas palavras.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

E subiram Moisés e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel,

10 and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness.

E viram o Deus de Israel, e debaixo de seus pés havia como uma obra de pedra de safira, e como o parecer do céu na sua claridade.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: and they beheld God, and did eat and drink.

Porém não estendeu a sua mão sobre os escolhidos dos filhos de Israel, mas viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them.

Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e fica lá: e dar-te-ei tábuas de pedra, e a lei, e os mandamentos que tenho escrito, para os ensinar.

13 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

E levantou-se Moisés com Josué seu servidor; e subiu Moisés ao monte de Deus,

14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them.

E disse aos anciãos: esperai-nos aqui, até que tornemos a vós: e eis que Aarão e Hur ficam convosco; quem tiver algum negócio, se chegará a eles.

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

E, subindo Moisés ao monte, a nuvem cobriu o monte.

16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

E habitava a glória do Senhor sobre o monte de Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias: e ao sétimo dia chamou a Moisés do meio da nuvem.

17 And the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

E o parecer da glória do Senhor era como um fogo consumidor no cume do monte, aos olhos dos filhos de Israel.

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

E Moisés entrou no meio da nuvem, depois que subiu ao monte: e Moisés esteve no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
