1 And he said to Moses, Go up to Jehovah, thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship afar off.
2 And let Moses alone come near Jehovah; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words that Jehovah has said will we do!
4 And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 And he sent the youths of the children of Israel, and they offered up burnt-offerings, and sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offering of bullocks to Jehovah.
6 And Moses took half 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 {it} in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has said will we do, and obey!
8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled {it} on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.
9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, 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 work of transparent sapphire, and as it were the form of heaven for clearness.
11 And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: they saw God, and ate and drank.
12 And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the commandment that I have written, for their instruction.
13 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant; and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14 And he said to the elders, Wait here for us, until we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matter, let him come before them.
15 And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 And the glory of Jehovah abode 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 And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
1 Disse também Deus a Moisés: Sobe a Jeová, tu, e Arão, e Nadabe, e Abiú, e setenta anciãos de Israel; e adorai de longe.
2 Só Moisés se chegará a Jeová; mas os outros não se chegarão, nem o povo subirá com ele.
3 Veio Moisés e referiu ao povo todas as palavras de Jeová e todas as ordenações; todo o povo respondeu a uma voz: Faremos tudo o que Jeová tem dito.
4 Moisés escreveu todas as palavras de Jeová e, tendo se levantado de manhã cedo, erigiu um altar ao pé do monte, e doze colunas segundo as doze tribos de Israel.
5 Enviou mancebos dentre os filhos de Israel, os quais ofereceram holocaustos, e sacrificaram a Jeová sacrifícios pacíficos de bois.
6 Moisés tomou uma metade do sangue, e pô-lo em bacias; e a outra metade aspergiu sobre o altar.
7 Tomou o livro da aliança, e leu, ouvindo-o o povo; o qual disse: Faremos tudo o que Jeová tem dito, e seremos obedientes.
8 Então, tomando Moisés o sangue, o aspergiu sobre o povo e disse: Eis o sangue da aliança que Jeová fez convosco sob todas estas condições.
9 Subiram Moisés e Arão, e Nadabe, e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel;
10 viram ao Deus de Israel, e debaixo dos seus pés havia como uma obra de safira lúcida, e como o próprio céu na sua claridade.
11 Sobre os nobres dos filhos de Israel Deus não estendeu a mão; eles viram a Deus, comeram e beberam.
12 Disse Jeová a Moisés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e deixa-te estar ali; dar-te-ei as tábuas de pedra e a lei e os mandamentos, que tenho escrito, para que os ensines.
13 Levantou-se Moisés com Josué, seu servidor; e subindo Moisés ao monte de Deus,
14 disse aos anciãos: Esperai-nos aqui, até que nos tornemos para vós. Eis que Arão e Hur ficam convosco; todo o que tiver uma questão chegue-se a eles.
15 Moisés subiu o monte, e uma nuvem cobriu o monte.
16 A glória de Jeová descansou sobre o monte de Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias; ao sétimo dia do meio da nuvem chamou a Moisés.
17 Era a aparência da glória de Jeová como um fogo consumidor sobre o cume do monte aos olhos dos filhos de Israel.
18 Tendo entrado Moisés pelo meio da nuvem, subiu o monte; e lá ficou quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
