02:019:009 And the lord said unto Moses, Lo,
I come unto thee in a thick
cloud,
that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and
believe
thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the
people
unto
the lord.
02:019:010 And the lord said unto Moses, Go unto
the people, and sanctify
them
to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
02:019:011 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.
02:019:012 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:
02:019:013 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.
02:019:014 And Moses went down from the mount unto
the people, and
sanctified
the people; and they washed their clothes.
02:019:015 And he said unto the people, Be ready against
the third day:
come
not at your wives.
02:019:016 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.
02:019:017 And Moses brought forth the people out
of the camp to meet
with
God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
02:019:018 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.
02:019:019 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded
long, and waxed
louder
and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a
voice.
02:019:020 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.
02:019:021 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.
02:019:022 And let the priests also, which come near
to the lord,
sanctify
themselves, lest the lord break forth upon them.
02:019:023 And Moses said unto the lord, The
people cannot come up to
mount
Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds
about
the
mount, and sanctify it.
