Exodus 19:11-22
-
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
-
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
-
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
-
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
-
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
-
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
-
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
-
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
-
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
-
20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
-
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
-
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
