Exodus 24

1 He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.

E disse a Moisés: Sobe ao SENHOR, tu, e Arão, Nadabe, e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e vos inclinareis desde longe.

2 And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”

Mas Moisés somente se chegará ao SENHOR; e eles não se aproximem, nem suba com ele o povo.

3 Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”

E Moisés veio e contou ao povo todas as palavras do SENHOR, e todos os estatutos: e todo o povo respondeu em uma voz, e disseram: Executaremos todas as palavras que o SENHOR disse.

4 Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

E Moisés escreveu todas as palavras do SENHOR, e levantando-se de manhã edificou um altar ao pé do monte, e doze colunas, segundo as doze tribos de Israel.

5 And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.

E enviou aos rapazes dos filhos de Israel, os quais ofereceram holocaustos e sacrificaram pacíficos ao SENHOR, bezerros.

6 And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.

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

7 And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”

E tomou o livro da aliança, e leu aos ouvidos do povo, o qual disse: Faremos todas as coisas que o SENHOR disse, e obedeceremos.

8 In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”

Então Moisés tomou o sangue, e salpicou sobre o povo, e disse: Eis o sangue da aliança que o SENHOR fez convosco sobre todas estas coisas.

9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.

E subiram Moisés e Arão, Nadabe e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel;

10 And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.

E viram ao Deus de Israel; e havia debaixo de seus pés como um pavimento de safira, semelhante ao céu quando está claro.

11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Mas não estendeu sua mão sobre os príncipes dos filhos de Israel: e viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”

Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e espera ali, e te darei tábuas de pedra, e a lei, e mandamentos que escrevi para ensiná-los.

13 Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,

E levantou-se Moisés, e Josué seu assistente; e Moisés subiu ao monte de Deus.

14 said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”

E disse aos anciãos: Esperai-nos aqui até que voltemos a vós: e eis que Arão e Hur estão convosco: o que tiver negócios chegue-se a eles.

15 And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.

Então Moisés subiu ao monte, e uma nuvem cobriu o monte.

16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.

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

17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.

E a aparência da glória do SENHOR era como um fogo abrasador no cume do monte, aos olhos dos filhos de Israel.

18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.

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