1 Depois, disse a Moisés: Sobe ao Senhor, tu e Arão, Nadabe e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e inclinai-vos de longe. 2 E só Moisés se chegará ao Senhor; mas eles não se cheguem, nem o povo suba com ele.

3 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 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 e enviou certos 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 do concerto 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 o espargiu sobre o povo, e disse: Eis aqui o sangue do concerto 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 uma obra de pedra de safira e como o parecer do céu na sua claridade. 11 Porém ele 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 tábuas de pedra, e a lei, e os mandamentos que tenho escrito, para os ensinares. 13 E levantou-se Moisés com Josué, seu servidor; e subiu Moisés o 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 o monte, a nuvem cobriu o monte. 16 E habitava a glória do Senhor sobre o monte Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias; e, ao sétimo dia, chamou o Senhor a Moisés do meio da nuvem. 17 E o aspecto 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 o monte; e Moisés esteve no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.

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. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

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 said will we do. 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of 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. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the 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 said will we do, and be obedient. 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.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. 13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God. 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: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 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. 17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
