Exodus 24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblia Maria
1 And he said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.	1 Deus disse a Moisés: “Sobe para o Senhor, com Aarão, Nadab e Abiú e setenta anciãos de Israel, e prostrai-vos à distância.
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."	2 Só Moisés se aproximará do Senhor, e não os outros, e o povo não subirá com ele”.
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."	3 Moisés veio referir ao povo todas as palavras do Senhor, e todas as suas leis; e o povo inteiro respondeu a uma voz: “Faremos tudo o que o Se­nhor disse”.
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.	4 E Moisés escreveu todas as palavras do Senhor. No dia seguinte, de manhã, edificou um altar ao pé da montanha e levantou estelas para as doze tribos de 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.	5 Enviou jovens dentre os israe­litas, os quais ofereceram holocaustos e sacrifícios ao Senhor e imolaram touros em sacrifícios pacíficos.
6 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar.	6 Moisés tomou a metade do sangue para colocá-lo em bacias, e derramou a outra metade sobre o 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."	7 Tomou o livro da aliança e o leu ao povo, que respondeu: “Faremos tudo o que o Se­nhor disse e seremos obedientes”.
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."	8 Moisés tomou o sangue para aspergir com ele o povo: “Eis – disse ele – o sangue da aliança que o Senhor fez convosco, conforme tudo o que foi dito”.*
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,	9 Moisés subiu, com Aarão, Nadab e Abiú, e setenta anciãos de Israel.
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.	10 Eles viram o Deus de Israel. Sob os seus pés havia como um lajeado de safiras transpa­rentes, tão límpido como o próprio céu.
11 And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank.	11 Sobre os eleitos dos israe­litas, Deus não estendeu a mão. Viram Deus, e depois comeram e beberam.*
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."	12 O Senhor disse a Moisés: “Sobe para mim ao monte. Ficarás ali para que eu te dê as tábuas de pedra, a lei e as ordenações que escrevi para sua instrução”.
13 So Moses rose with his servant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.	13 Moisés levantou-se com Josué, seu auxiliar, e subiu ao monte de Deus.
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."	14 E disse aos anciãos: “Esperai-nos aqui até que voltemos. Tendes convosco Aarão e Hur. Se alguém tiver um litígio, se dirigirá a eles”.
15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.	15 Moisés subiu ao monte. A nuvem cobriu o monte
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.	16 e a glória do Senhor repousou sobre o monte Sinai, que ficou envolvido na nuvem durante seis dias. No sétimo dia, o Senhor chamou Moisés do seio da nuvem.
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.	17 Aos olhos dos israelitas a glória do Senhor tinha o aspecto de um fogo consumidor sobre o cume do monte.
18 And Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.	18 Moisés penetrou na nuvem e subiu a montanha. Ficou ali quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
