1Depois o SENHOR instruiu assim Moisés: “Sobe aqui com Aarão, Nadabe e Abiú, mais 70 dos anciãos de Israel. Todos vocês, com exceção de Moisés, adorarão à distância.2Apenas Moisés se aproximará do SENHOR. E não se esqueçam que ninguém do povo deverá subir com ele.”3Então Moisés anunciou ao povo todas as leis e mandamentos que Deus lhe tinha dado. O povo respondeu por unanimidade: “Obedeceremos a todas essas palavras.”4Moisés escreveu tudo o que o SENHOR lhe dissera. De manhã cedo construiu um altar ao pé da montanha com doze pilares à volta, porque eram doze as tribos de Israel.5Em seguida, mandou alguns mancebos sacrificarem holocaustos de novilhos e ofertas de paz ao SENHOR.6Moisés tomou metade do sangue destes animais e deitou-o em bacias. Com a outra metade aspergiu o altar.7E leu para o povo o livro da aliança. E o povo tornou a dizer: “Prometemos obedecer a tudo o que o SENHOR ordenou.”8Em seguida, Moisés aspergiu o povo com o sangue que estava nas bacias dizendo: “Este sangue confirma a aliança que o SENHOR fez convosco, na base de todos estes mandamentos.”9Então Moisés, Aarão, Nadabe e Abiú, mais 70 dos anciãos de Israel subiram à montanha.10E viram o Deus de Israel. Sob os seus pés parecia haver um chão de pedras de safira, tão límpidas como o azul do firmamento.11Contudo, ainda que tenham visto Deus, ele não destruiu esses privilegiados dos filhos de Israel. E assim puderam continuar a comer e a beber.12O SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Sobe à montanha junto de mim e fica aí até que te dê a Lei e os mandamentos que escrevi nas placas de pedra, para que possas ensinar o povo com elas.”13Moisés, acompanhado de Josué, seu auxiliar, subiu à montanha de Deus.14E disse para os anciãos: “Fiquem aqui, esperem por nós até que regressemos. Se houver algum problema, enquanto estamos ausentes, consultem Aarão e Hur.”15Então Moisés subiu à montanha e desapareceu numa nuvem que cobria o cimo.16A glória do SENHOR permaneceu sobre o monte Sinai e a nuvem o cobriu durante seis dias. Ao sétimo, ele chamou Moisés desde a nuvem.17Os que estavam em baixo puderam observar aquele tremendo espetáculo. A glória do SENHOR no cimo da montanha parecia um fogo devorador.18Moisés entretanto desapareceu lá no cimo, no interior da nuvem, e ali ficou quarenta dias e quarenta noites.

The Covenant Confirmed
1Then 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 afar.2Moses alone shall come near to the Lord, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him.”3Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the rules.* And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do.”4And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. 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.5And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord.6And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar.7Then 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.”8And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”9Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,10and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.11And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank.12The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.”13So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.14And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has a dispute, let him go to them.”15Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.16The glory of the Lord dwelt 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.17Now 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.18Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
