1 Depois disse a Moisés: Sobe ao SENHOR, tu e Arão, Nadabe e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e adorai de longe.

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

3 Veio, pois, Moisés, e contou ao povo todas as palavras do Senhor, e todos os estatutos; então o povo respondeu a uma voz, e disse: Todas as palavras, que o Senhor tem falado, faremos.

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

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

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

8 Então tomou Moisés aquele sangue, e espargiu-o sobre o povo, e disse: Eis aqui o sangue da aliança que o Senhor tem feito convosco sobre todas estas palavras.

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

10 E viram o Deus de Israel, e debaixo de seus pés havia como que uma pavimentação de pedra de safira, que se parecia com o céu na sua claridade.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 And he said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abi'hu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

2 Moses alone shall come near to the LORD; but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him."

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

4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.

6 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar.

7 Then he took the book of the covenant, and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient."

8 And Moses took the blood and threw it upon the people, and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."

9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abi'hu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

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

11 And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank.

12 The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tables of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction."

13 So Moses rose with his servant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

14 And he said to the elders, "Tarry here for us, until we come to you again; and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a cause, let him go to them."

15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

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

17 Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.

18 And Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
