In the third{H7992} month{H2320} after the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} were gone forth{H3318} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} the same day{H3117} came{H935} they into the wilderness{H4057} of Sinai.{H5514}

And when they were departed{H5265} from Rephidim,{H7508} and were come{H935} to the wilderness{H4057} of Sinai,{H5514} they encamped{H2583} in the wilderness;{H4057} and there Israel{H3478} encamped{H2583} before the mount.{H2022}

And Moses{H4872} went up{H5927} unto God,{H430} and Jehovah{H3068} called{H7121} unto him out of the mountain,{H2022} saying,{H559} Thus shalt thou say{H559} to the house{H1004} of Jacob,{H3290} and tell{H559} the children{H1121} of Israel:{H3478}

Ye have seen{H7200} what I did{H6213} unto the Egyptians,{H4714} and how I bare{H5375} you on eagles'{H5404} wings,{H3671} and brought{H935} you unto myself.

Now therefore, if ye will obey{H8085} my voice{H6963} indeed,{H8085} and keep{H8104} my covenant,{H1285} then ye shall be mine own possession{H5459} from among all peoples:{H5971} for all the earth{H776} is mine:

and ye shall be unto me a kingdom{H4467} of priests,{H3548} and a holy{H6918} nation.{H1471} These are the words{H1697} which thou shalt speak{H1696} unto the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And Moses{H4872} came{H935} and called{H7121} for the elders{H2205} of the people,{H5971} and set before them all these words{H1697} which Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} him.

And all the people{H5971} answered{H6030} together,{H3162} and said,{H559} All that Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken{H1696} we will do.{H6213} And Moses{H4872} reported{H7725} the words{H1697} of the people{H5971} unto Jehovah.{H3068}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Lo, I come{H935} unto thee in a thick{H5645} cloud,{H6051} that the people{H5971} may hear{H8085} when I speak{H1696} with thee, and may also believe{H539} thee for ever.{H5769} And Moses{H4872} told{H5046} the words{H1697} of the people{H5971} unto Jehovah.{H3068}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Go{H3212} unto the people,{H5971} and sanctify{H6942} them to-day{H3117} and to-morrow,{H4279} and let them wash{H3526} their garments,{H8071}

and be ready{H3559} against the third{H7992} day;{H3117} for the third{H7992} day{H3117} Jehovah{H3068} will come down{H3381} in the sight{H5869} of all the people{H5971} upon mount{H2022} Sinai.{H5514}

And thou shalt set bounds{H1379} unto the people{H5971} round about,{H5439} saying,{H559} Take heed{H8104} to yourselves, that ye go not up{H5927} into the mount,{H2022} or touch{H5060} the border{H7097} of it: whosoever toucheth{H5060} the mount{H2022} shall be surely{H4191} put to death:{H4191}

no hand{H3027} shall touch{H5060} him, but he shall surely{H5619} be stoned,{H5619} or{H176} shot{H3384} through;{H3384} whether it be beast{H929} or{H176} man,{H376} he shall not live:{H2421} when the trumpet{H3104} soundeth long,{H4900} they shall come up{H5927} to the mount.{H2022}

And Moses{H4872} went down{H3381} from the mount{H2022} unto the people,{H5971} and sanctified{H6942} the people;{H5971} and they washed{H3526} their garments.{H8071}

And he said{H559} unto the people,{H5971} Be{H1961} ready{H3559} against the third{H7969} day:{H3117} come{H5066} not near a woman.{H802}

And it came to pass on the third{H7992} day,{H3117} when it was morning,{H1242} that there were thunders{H6963} and lightnings,{H1300} and a thick{H3515} cloud{H6051} upon the mount,{H2022} and the voice{H6963} of a trumpet{H7782} exceeding{H3966} loud;{H2389} and all the people{H5971} that were in the camp{H4264} trembled.{H2729}

And Moses{H4872} brought forth{H3318} the people{H5971} out of the camp{H4264} to meet{H7125} God;{H430} and they stood{H3320} at the nether{H8482} part of the mount.{H2022}

And mount{H2022} Sinai,{H5514} the whole of it, smoked,{H6225} because{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} descended{H3381} upon it in fire;{H784} and the smoke{H6227} thereof ascended{H5927} as the smoke{H6227} of a furnace,{H3536} and the whole mount{H2022} quaked{H2729} greatly.{H3966}

And when the voice{H6963} of the trumpet{H7782} waxed{H6963} louder{H1980} and{H2390} louder,{H2390} Moses{H4872} spake,{H1696} and God{H430} answered{H6030} him by a voice.{H6963}

And Jehovah{H3068} came down{H3381} upon mount{H2022} Sinai,{H5514} to the top{H7218} of the mount:{H2022} and Jehovah{H3068} called{H7121} Moses{H4872} to{H413} the top{H413} of the mount;{H2022} and Moses{H4872} went up.{H5927}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Moses,{H4872} Go down,{H3381} charge{H5749} the people,{H5971} lest they break through{H2040} unto Jehovah{H3068} to gaze,{H7200} and many{H7227} of them perish.{H5307}

And let the priests{H3548} also, that come near{H5066} to Jehovah,{H3068} sanctify{H6942} themselves, lest Jehovah{H3068} break forth{H6555} upon them.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto Jehovah,{H3068} The people{H5971} cannot{H3201} come up{H5927} to mount{H2022} Sinai:{H5514} for thou didst charge{H5749} us, saying,{H559} Set bounds{H1379} about the mount,{H2022} and sanctify{H6942} it.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto him, Go,{H3212} get thee down;{H3381} and thou shalt come up,{H5927} thou, and Aaron{H175} with thee: but let not the priests{H3548} and the people{H5971} break through{H2040} to come up{H5927} unto Jehovah,{H3068} lest he break forth{H6555} upon them.

So Moses{H4872} went down{H3381} unto the people,{H5971} and told{H559} them.
