¹In the third month after the exodus of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the Sinai Desert. ²And they travelled from Rephidim and came to the Sinai Desert, and they encamped in the desert. And Israel encamped there opposite the mountain. ³Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you will say to the house of Jacob and what you will tell the sons of Israel: ⁴‘You have seen what I did to Egypt, when I lifted you up on the wings of eagles and brought you to me. ⁵So now, if you will rigorously obey me and keep my covenant, you will be a special acquisition of mine above all the nations, for the whole earth is mine. ⁶And you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation.’ Those are the things which you will speak to the sons of Israel.” ⁷Then Moses came back and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these things which the Lord had commanded him. ⁸Then all the people answered together and said, “We will do everything that the Lord has said.” Moses then reported the words of the people to the Lord. ⁹And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you, and that they may believe you age-abidingly.” Moses then told the words of the people to the Lord. ¹⁰And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and they must wash their clothes. ¹¹And be prepared for the third day, for on the third day, the Lord will descend in the sight of all the people to Mount Sinai. ¹²And restrict the people round about and say, ‘Be careful not to go up into the mountain or to touch its edge. Everyone who touches the mountain will certainly be put to death. ¹³Let no hand touch it, otherwise he will certainly be stoned or shot through; whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When the horn is sounded then they will go up into the mountain.” ¹⁴Then Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and he sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. ¹⁵And he said to the people, “Be prepared; do not approach your wife for three days.” ¹⁶And it came to pass on the third day while it was morning that there were sounds and lightning flashes and a dense cloud at the mountain, and a very loud sound of a ramshorn, and all the people who were in the camp trembled. ¹⁷Then Moses brought the people out from the camp to meet God, and they stood at the bottom of the mountain. ¹⁸And Mount Sinai was smoke all over, because the Lord had descended onto it with fire, and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled greatly. ¹⁹And when the sound of the ramshorn resounded very loudly, Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice. ²⁰And the Lord descended onto Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. ²¹And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and testify to the people not to break through to the Lord to see him, whereby many of them would fall down dead. ²²And let the priests who also approach the Lord sanctify themselves, in case the Lord breaks out against them.” ²³Then Moses said to the Lord, “The people will not be able to come up to Mount Sinai, for you testified to us and said, ‘Delimit the mountain and sanctify it.’ ” ²⁴And the Lord said to him, “Go, go down and come up, you and Aaron with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, in case he breaks out against them.” ²⁵So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
