Exodus  


19 : 1 On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day theycame into the wilderness of Sinai.
19 : 2 They set out fromRephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped beforethe mountain,
19 : 3 whileMoses went up to God.TheLordcalled to him out of the mountain, saying,Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:
19 : 4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and howI bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
19 : 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall bemy treasured possession among all peoples, forall the earth is mine;
19 : 6 and you shall be to me akingdom of priests anda holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.
19 : 7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that theLordhad commanded him.
19 : 8 All the people answered together and said,All that theLordhas spoken we will do.And Moses reported the words of the people to theLord.
19 : 9 And theLordsaid to Moses,Behold, I am coming to youin a thick cloud, thatthe people may hear when I speak with you, and may alsobelieve you forever.When Moses told the words of the people to theLord,
19 : 10 theLordsaid to Moses,Go to the people andconsecrate them today and tomorrow, and let themwash their garments
19 : 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third daytheLordwill come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
19 : 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying,Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it.Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death.
19 : 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot;whether beast or man, he shall not live.Whenthe trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.
19 : 14 So Moseswent down from the mountain to the people andconsecrated the people;and they washed their garments.
19 : 15 And he said to the people,Be ready for thethird day;do not go near a woman.
19 : 16 On the morning of thethird day there werethunders and lightnings anda thick cloud on the mountain and a very loudtrumpet blast, so that all the people in the camptrembled.
19 : 17 ThenMoses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.
19 : 18 NowMount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because theLordhad descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, andthe whole mountain trembled greatly.
19 : 19 And as thesound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, andGod answered him in thunder.
19 : 20 TheLordcame down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And theLordcalled Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
19 : 21 And theLordsaid to Moses,Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to theLordto look and many of them perish.
19 : 22 Also let the priests who come near to theLordconsecrate themselves, lest theLordbreak out against them.
19 : 23 And Moses said to theLord,The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying,Set limits around the mountain and consecrate it.
19 : 24 And theLordsaid to him,Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the peoplebreak through to come up to theLord, lest he break out against them.
19 : 25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.
