Exodus 19:5-25

5NowH6258 then, 1ifH518 you will indeedH8085 obeyH8085 My voiceH6963 and 2keepH8104 My covenantH1285, then you shall be 3My 4own possessionH5459 amongH4480 allH3605 the peoplesH5971, for 5allH3605 the earthH776 is Mine; 6and you shall be to Me 6a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548 and 7a holyH6918 nationH1471.’ TheseH428 are the wordsH1697 that you shall speakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.”

78So MosesH4872 cameH935 and calledH7121 the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and setH7760 beforeH6440 them allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him. 8Then 9allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 togetherH3164 and saidH559, “AllH3605 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 we will doH6213!” And MosesH4872 broughtH7725 backH7725 the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971 to the LordH3068. 9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “BeholdH2009, I will comeH935 to you in 10a thickH5672 cloudH6051, soH5668 thatH5668 the 11peopleH5971 may hearH8085 when I speakH1696 with you and may alsoH1571 trustH539 in you foreverH5769.” Then MosesH4872 toldH5046 the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971 to the LordH3068.

10The LordH3068 also saidH559 to MosesH4872, “GoH1980 to the peopleH5971 and 12consecrateH6942 them todayH3117 and tomorrowH4279, and have them 13washH3526 their garmentsH8071; 11and have them readyH3559 for the thirdH7992 dayH3117, for on 14the thirdH7992 dayH3117 the LordH3068 will comeH3381 downH3381 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the peopleH5971. 12But you shall setH1379 boundariesH1379 for the peopleH5971 allH5439 aroundH5439, sayingH559, ‘15BewareH8104 that you do not goH5927 upH5927 on the mountainH2022 or touchH5060 the borderH7097 of it; 16whoeverH3605 touchesH5060 the mountainH2022 shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 13NoH3808 handH3027 shall touchH5060 him, but 17he shall certainlyH5619 be stonedH5619 orH176 18shotH3384 throughH3384; whetherH518 animalH929 orH518 personH376, the violator shall not liveH2421.’ When the ram’sH3104 hornH3104 soundsH4900 aH4900 longH4900 blastH4900, they shall comeH5927 upH5927 to 19the mountainH2022.” 14So MosesH4872 wentH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022 to the peopleH5971 and consecratedH6942 the peopleH5971, and they washedH3526 their garmentsH8071. 15He also saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “Be readyH3559 for the thirdH7969 dayH3117; do not goH5066 nearH5066 a womanH802.”

1620So it cameH1961 aboutH1961 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when it was morningH1242, that there were 21thunderH6963 and lightningH1300 flashesH1300 and a thickH3515 cloudH6051 over the mountainH2022 and a veryH3966 loudH2389 trumpetH7782 soundH6963, so that allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were in the campH4264 trembledH2729. 17And MosesH4872 broughtH3318 the peopleH5971 outH3318 of the campH4264 to meetH7122 GodH430, and they stoodH3320 at the 22footH8482 of the mountainH2022. 1823Now MountH2022 SinaiH5514 was allH3605 in smokeH6225 becauseH4480H6440H834 the LordH3068 descendedH3381 upon it 24in fireH784; and its smokeH6227 ascendedH5927 like 25the smokeH6227 of a furnaceH3536, and 26the entireH3605 mountainH2022 27quakedH2729 violentlyH3966. 19When the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782 grewH1980 louderH2388 and louderH3966, MosesH4872 spokeH1696, and 28GodH430 answeredH6030 him with 29thunderH6963. 20Then 30the LordH3068 cameH3381 downH3381 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514, to the topH7218 of the mountainH2022; and the LordH3068 calledH7121 MosesH4872 to the topH7218 of the mountainH2022, and MosesH4872 wentH5927 upH5927. 21Then the LordH3068 spokeH559 to MosesH4872: “GoH3381 downH3381, 31warnH5749 the peopleH5971, soH6435 thatH6435 32they do notH6435 breakH2040 throughH2040 to the LordH3068 to stareH7200, and manyH7227 of them 33perishH5307. 22AlsoH1571 have the 34priestsH3548 who approach the LordH3068 consecrateH6942 themselves, orH6435 elseH6435 the LordH3068 will breakH6555 outH6555 against them.” 23And MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “The peopleH5971 cannotH3201H3808 comeH5927 upH5927 to MountH2022 SinaiH5514, for You 35warnedH5749 us, sayingH559, ‘36SetH1379 boundariesH1379 around the mountainH2022 and consecrateH6942 it.’” 24Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “37GoH1980H3381 downH3381 and comeH5927 upH5927 again, 38you and AaronH175 with you; but do not let the 39priestsH3548 and the peopleH5971 breakH2040 throughH2040 to comeH5927 upH5927 to the LordH3068, orH6435 He will breakH6555 outH6555 against them.” 25So MosesH4872 wentH3381 downH3381 to the peopleH5971 and toldH559 them.
