Exodus 19:9-20

9The LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “BeholdH2009, IH595 will comeH935 toH413 you in a denseH5645 cloudH6051, so thatH5668 the peopleH5971 will hearH8085 when I speakH1696 with youH5973, andH1571 they will alwaysH5769 put their trustH539 in you.”

And MosesH4872 relayedH5046 toH413 the LORDH3068 what the peopleH5971 had saidH1697.

10Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “GoH1980H413 toH413 the peopleH5971 and consecrate themH6942 todayH3117 and tomorrowH4279. They must washH3526 their clothesH8071 11and beH1961 preparedH3559 by the thirdH7992 dayH3117, forH3588 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 will come downH3381 onH5921 MountH2022 SinaiH5514 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the peopleH5971.

12And you are to set up a boundaryH1379 for the peopleH5971 aroundH5439 the mountain and tell themH559, ‘Be carefulH8104 not to go upH5927 on the mountainH2022 or touchH5060 its baseH7097. WhoeverH3605 touchesH5060 the mountainH2022 shall surely be put to deathH4191. 13NoH3808 handH3027 shall touchH5060 him, butH3588 he shall surely be stonedH5619 orH176 shotH3384 with arrowsH3384—whetherH518 manH376 orH518 beastH929, he must notH3808 liveH2421.’1

Only when the ram’s hornH3104 sounds a long blastH4900 may theyH1992 approachH5927 the mountainH2022.2”

14When MosesH4872 came downH3381 fromH4480 the mountainH2022 toH413 the peopleH5971, he consecrated themH6942, and they washedH3526 their clothesH8071. 15“BeH1961 preparedH3559 for the thirdH7969 dayH3117,” he saidH559 toH413 the peopleH5971. “Do notH408 draw nearH5066 toH413 a womanH802.”

16On the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when morningH1242H1961 cameH1961, there wasH1961 thunderH6963 and lightningH1300. A thickH3515 cloudH6051 was uponH5921 the mountainH2022, and a very loudH2389H3966 blastH6963 of the ram’s hornH7782 went out, so that allH3605 the peopleH5971 in the campH4264 trembledH2729. 17Then MosesH4872 broughtH3318 the peopleH5971 out ofH4480 the campH4264 to meetH7122 with GodH430, and they stoodH3320 at the footH8482 of the mountainH2022.

18MountH2022 SinaiH5514 was completelyH3605 enveloped in smokeH6225, becauseH6440 the LORDH3068 had descendedH3381 on itH5921 in fireH784. And the smokeH6227 roseH5927 like the smokeH6227 of a furnaceH3536, and the wholeH3605 mountainH2022 quakedH2729 violentlyH3966. 19And asH1961 the soundH6963 of the ram’s hornH7782 grew louderH1980H2390 and louderH3966, MosesH4872 spokeH1696 and GodH430 answered himH6030 in the thunderH6963.

20The LORDH3068 descendedH3381 toH413 the topH7218 ofH5921 MountH2022 SinaiH5514 and calledH7121 MosesH4872 toH413 the summitH7218H2022. SoH4872 Moses went upH5927,
