Exodus 19:16-20

16On the third day in the morning there was thunder and lightning and a dense cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud horn; all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their place at the foot of the mountain.

18Now Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire, and its smoke went up like the smoke of a great furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.

19When the sound of the horn grew louder and louder, Moses was speaking and God was answering him with a voice.

20The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain, and the Lord summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
