Exodus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.
Depois disse a Moysés: Sobe ao Senhor, tu e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos d'Israel; e inclinae-vos de longe.
2 Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
E Moysés só se chegará ao Senhor; mas elles não se cheguem, nem o povo suba com elle.
3 When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”
Vindo pois Moysés, 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 fallado, faremos.
4 And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
E Moysés 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 tribus d'Israel;
5 Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.
E enviou os mancebos dos filhos d'Israel, os quaes offereceram holocaustos, e sacrificaram ao Senhor sacrificios pacificos de bezerros.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.
E Moysés tomou a metade do sangue, e a poz em bacias; e a outra metade do sangue espargiu sobre o altar.
7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
E tomou o livro do concerto e o leu aos ouvidos do povo, e elles disseram: Tudo o que o Senhor tem fallado faremos, e obedeceremos.
8 So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
Então tomou Moysés aquelle sangue, e espargiu-o sobre o povo, e disse: Eis-aqui o sangue do concerto que o Senhor tem feito comvosco sobre todas estas palavras.
9 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
E subiram Moysés e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos d'Isrel,
10 and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.
E viram o Deus d'Israel, e debaixo de seus pés havia como uma obra de pedra de saphira, e como o parecer do céu na sua claridade.
11 But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
Porém não estendeu a sua mão sobre os escolhidos dos filhos d'Israel, mas viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e fica lá: e dar-te-hei taboas de pedra, e a lei, e os mandamentos que tenho escripto, para os ensinar.
13 So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.
E levantou-se Moysés com Josué seu servidor; e subiu Moysés ao monte de Deus,
14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”
E disse aos anciãos: Esperae-nos aqui, até que tornemos a vós: e eis que Aarão e Hur ficam comvosco; quem tiver algum negocio, se chegará a elles.
15 When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,
E, subindo Moysés ao monte, a nuvem cobriu o monte.
16 and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.
E habitava a gloria do Senhor sobre o monte de Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias: e ao setimo dia chamou a Moysés do meio da nuvem.
17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
E o parecer da gloria do Senhor era como um fogo consumidor no cume do monte, aos olhos dos filhos d'Israel.
18 Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
E Moysés entrou no meio da nuvem, depois que subiu ao monte: e Moysés esteve no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
