Exodus 24

1 He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship 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 Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

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

3 Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has spoken will we do.”

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 Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for 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 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD.

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

6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on 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 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that the LORD has said, and 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 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made 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 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

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

10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

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

11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

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

12 The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may 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 servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.

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

14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go 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 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

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

16 The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

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 The appearance of the LORD’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children 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 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain 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.
