以色列人在西奈山
19 以色列人離開埃及滿三個月的那一天，他們來到西奈半島的曠野。 2 他們離開利非訂，來到西奈曠野，在那裡的山下安營。
3 摩西上山到上帝那裡，耶和華從山上呼喚他說：「你告訴雅各家，告訴以色列人， 4 『我怎樣對付埃及人，你們都看見了，我好像鷹一樣把你們背在翅膀上帶到我這裡。 5 現在，倘若你們認真聽從我的話，遵守我的約，就必在萬民中做我的子民，因為普天下都是我的。 6 你們要歸於我，作祭司之國、聖潔之邦。這些話你要告訴以色列人。』」
7 摩西召集以色列的長老，把耶和華對他的一切吩咐都轉告他們。 8 百姓都齊聲回答說：「凡耶和華所吩咐的，我們都願意遵從。」
摩西便把他們的話回報耶和華。 9 耶和華對摩西說：「我會在密雲中臨到你那裡，使百姓也可以親耳聽見我與你說話的聲音，這樣他們就會永遠信賴你。」摩西把以色列人的話回報耶和華。 10 耶和華對摩西說：「你現在回到他們那裡，吩咐他們今天和明天要潔淨自己，洗淨衣服， 11 到後天都要預備好，因為這一天耶和華要在百姓眼前降臨在西奈山上。 12 此外，你要在山的四圍劃定界線，吩咐百姓不得上山或碰到界線，違例者死。 13 你們不可用手觸摸違例者，要用石頭打死他或用箭射死他，牲畜也不例外。百姓要一直等到聽見角聲長鳴才可上山。」 14 於是，摩西下山回到百姓那裡，吩咐他們各人潔淨自己，洗淨衣服。 15 又吩咐他們說：「到後天一切都要準備好，這期間你們不可親近女人。」
16 到了第三天早晨，山上雷電大作，烏雲密佈，又有嘹亮的號角聲，營中的百姓都膽戰心驚。 17 摩西率領百姓出營迎接上帝，他們都站在山腳下。 18 因為耶和華在火中降臨到西奈山，整座山都冒著濃煙，滾滾上騰，好像一個大火窯，整座山都震動起來。 19 號角聲越來越嘹亮。摩西說話，上帝就回應他，聲音好像雷鳴。 20 耶和華降臨在西奈山頂，召摩西到山頂，摩西就上去了。 21 耶和華對摩西說：「你下去囑咐百姓不可闖過界線到我這裡觀看，以免很多人死亡。 22 吩咐到我面前來的祭司要潔淨自己，免得我忽然出來擊殺他們。」
23 摩西對耶和華說：「百姓不能上西奈山，因為你已經吩咐我們要在山的四圍劃定界限，使這山成為聖山。」 24 耶和華對他說：「你下去把亞倫一起帶來，祭司和百姓仍要留在原來的地方，不得亂闖到我面前，免得我忽然出來擊殺他們。」 25 摩西就下去，把耶和華的話轉告給百姓。

19 以 色 列 人 出 埃 及 地 以 後 ， 满 了 三 个 月 的 那 一 天 ， 就 来 到 西 乃 的 旷 野 。
2 他 们 离 了 利 非 订 ， 来 到 西 乃 的 旷 野 ， 就 在 那 里 的 山 下 安 营 。
3 摩 西 到 神 那 里 ， 耶 和 华 从 山 上 呼 唤 他 说 ： 你 要 这 样 告 诉 雅 各 家 ， 晓 谕 以 色 列 人 说 ：
4 我 向 埃 及 人 所 行 的 事 ， 你 们 都 看 见 了 ， 且 看 见 我 如 鹰 将 你 们 背 在 翅 膀 上 ， 带 来 归 我 。
5 如 今 你 们 若 实 在 听 从 我 的 话 ， 遵 守 我 的 约 ， 就 要 在 万 民 中 作 属 我 的 子 民 ， 因 为 全 地 都 是 我 的 。
6 你 们 要 归 我 作 祭 司 的 国 度 ， 为 圣 洁 的 国 民 。 这 些 话 你 要 告 诉 以 色 列 人 。
7 摩 西 去 召 了 民 间 的 长 老 来 ， 将 耶 和 华 所 吩 咐 他 的 话 都 在 他 们 面 前 陈 明 。
8 百 姓 都 同 声 回 答 说 ： 凡 耶 和 华 所 说 的 ， 我 们 都 要 遵 行 。 摩 西 就 将 百 姓 的 话 回 覆 耶 和 华 。
9 耶 和 华 对 摩 西 说 ： 我 要 在 密 云 中 临 到 你 那 里 ， 叫 百 姓 在 我 与 你 说 话 的 时 候 可 以 听 见 ， 也 可 以 永 远 信 你 了 。 於 是 ， 摩 西 将 百 姓 的 话 奏 告 耶 和 华 。
10 耶 和 华 又 对 摩 西 说 ： 你 往 百 姓 那 里 去 ， 叫 他 们 今 天 明 天 自 洁 ， 又 叫 他 们 洗 衣 服 。
11 到 第 三 天 要 预 备 好 了 ， 因 为 第 三 天 耶 和 华 要 在 众 百 姓 眼 前 降 临 在 西 乃 山 上 。
12 你 要 在 山 的 四 围 给 百 姓 定 界 限 ， 说 ： 你 们 当 谨 慎 ， 不 可 上 山 去 ， 也 不 可 摸 山 的 边 界 ； 凡 摸 这 山 的 ， 必 要 治 死 他 。
13 不 可 用 手 摸 他 ， 必 用 石 头 打 死 ， 或 用 箭 射 透 ； 无 论 是 人 是 牲 畜 ， 都 不 得 活 。 到 角 声 拖 长 的 时 候 ， 他 们 才 可 到 山 根 来 。
14 摩 西 下 山 往 百 姓 那 里 去 ， 叫 他 们 自 洁 ， 他 们 就 洗 衣 服 。
15 他 对 百 姓 说 ： 到 第 三 天 要 预 备 好 了 。 不 可 亲 近 女 人 。
16 到 了 第 三 天 早 晨 ， 在 山 上 有 雷 轰 、 闪 电 ， 和 密 云 ， 并 且 角 声 甚 大 ， 营 中 的 百 姓 尽 都 发 颤 。
17 摩 西 率 领 百 姓 出 营 迎 接 神 ， 都 站 在 山 下 。
18 西 乃 全 山 冒 烟 ， 因 为 耶 和 华 在 火 中 降 於 山 上 。 山 的 烟 气 上 腾 ， 如 烧 窑 一 般 ， 遍 山 大 大 的 震 动 。
19 角 声 渐 渐 的 高 而 又 高 ， 摩 西 就 说 话 ， 神 有 声 音 答 应 他 。
20 耶 和 华 降 临 在 西 乃 山 顶 上 ， 耶 和 华 召 摩 西 上 山 顶 ， 摩 西 就 上 去 。
21 耶 和 华 对 摩 西 说 ： 你 下 去 嘱 咐 百 姓 ， 不 可 闯 过 来 到 我 面 前 观 看 ， 恐 怕 他 们 有 多 人 死 亡 ；
22 又 叫 亲 近 我 的 祭 司 自 洁 ， 恐 怕 我 忽 然 出 来 击 杀 他 们 。
23 摩 西 对 耶 和 华 说 ： 百 姓 不 能 上 西 乃 山 ， 因 为 你 已 经 嘱 咐 我 们 说 ： 要 在 山 的 四 围 定 界 限 ， 叫 山 成 圣 。
24 耶 和 华 对 他 说 ： 下 去 罢 ， 你 要 和 亚 伦 一 同 上 来 ； 只 是 祭 司 和 百 姓 不 可 闯 过 来 上 到 我 面 前 ， 恐 怕 我 忽 然 出 来 击 杀 他 们 。
25 於 是 摩 西 下 到 百 姓 那 里 告 诉 他 们 。
Exodus 19
King James Version
Exodus 19
King James Version
19 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 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.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 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.
12 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:
13 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.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16 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.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 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.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20 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.
21 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.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.
23 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.
24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

The Covenant at Mount Sinai
The Covenant and the Ten Commandments[a]
Chapter 19
God Proposes His Covenant.[b] 1 Three months to the day after the children of Israel left the land of Egypt, they arrived in the Sinai Desert. 2 They left the camp at Rephidim and arrived in the Desert of Sinai. There Israel camped in front of the mountain.
3 Moses climbed up to meet God, and the Lord called out to him from the mountain, saying, “You will say this to the house of Jacob and announce it to the children of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I lifted you up on eagles’ wings and brought you here to me. 5 Now, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you will be my own possession from among all the peoples, for the entire earth is mine. 6 You will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation for me.’ These are the words you will speak to Israel.”[c]
7 Moses went and summoned the elders of the people and told them what the Lord had commanded him. 8 All the people answered together and said, “We will do what the Lord has said.” Then Moses returned to the Lord and told him what the people had said.
9 The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to approach you in a thick cloud so that the people will hear when I speak to you and always believe in you.”
The Lord Descends on Sinai.10 The Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 11 and have them ready for the third day, for on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai to visit all the people.
12 “You shall establish a boundary around it, saying, ‘Take heed not to climb up the mountain or even touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain will be put to death.’
13 “No hand must touch that person, however, for he must be stoned or shot with an arrow. Whether it be a human or an animal, he is not to live. They can come up the mountain only when you blow the trumpet.”
14 Moses went down the mountain to the people. He consecrated the people and had them wash their clothes. 15 Then he said to the people, “Be ready in three days’ time. Abstain from sexual relations.”
16 The Great Theophany. On the third day, as morning dawned, there was thunder, lightning, a dense cloud on the mountain, and the sound of loud trumpets. All the people in the camp were filled with fear.
17 Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God. They stood on foot at the base of the mountain.
18 Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke, for the Lord had descended upon it in fire and the smoke rose up like the smoke of a furnace. The entire mountain trembled. 19 The sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Moses spoke and God responded with the sound of a trumpet.
20 The Lord thus descended upon Mount Sinai, on the mountain peak, and he called out to Moses upon the mountain peak. Moses went up the mountain.
21 The Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to gaze upon the Lord; otherwise many will die.
22 “Let the priests consecrate themselves before they approach the Lord. Otherwise the Lord will burst forth upon them.”
23 Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot climb up Mount Sinai, for you yourself have warned us saying, ‘Establish a boundary around the mountain and declare it to be holy.’ ”
24 The Lord told him, “Go, descend, then come back up with Aaron. But the priests and the people are not to break through to climb up to the Lord. Otherwise, he will burst forth against them.”
25 Moses went down and spoke to the people.
Footnotes
- Exodus 19:1 The entire past of Israel converges on the event at Sinai. The call of Abraham and the deliverance from the Egyptian yoke show God’s intention to his people. The time has come for that people to respond to the divine preferences. The Covenant is not a contract between equals, in which offer and response are on the same level; rather, the initiative is entirely the Lord’s. Israel does, however, have an obligation to agree to the “salvation” offered to it and to express a desire to commit itself to fidelity to the law of the Lord. The text of the Covenant will be Israel’s religious and social constitution.
- Exodus 19:1 The Hebrews have reached the southern part of the Sinai peninsula; it is the imposing countryside dominated by this summit that serves as a backdrop for their meeting with God. In submitting themselves to the Lord, they will become a consecrated people. Thus, the People of God is truly born of the Sinaitic Covenant.

At Mount Sinai
19 On the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt(A)—on that very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai.(B) 2 After they set out from Rephidim,(C) they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain.(D)
3 Then Moses went up to God,(E) and the Lord called(F) to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt,(G) and how I carried you on eagles’ wings(H) and brought you to myself.(I) 5 Now if you obey me fully(J) and keep my covenant,(K) then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.(L) Although the whole earth(M) is mine, 6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests(N) and a holy nation.’(O) These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders(P) of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak.(Q) 8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.”(R) So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.
9 The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud,(S) so that the people will hear me speaking(T) with you and will always put their trust(U) in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate(V) them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes(W) 11 and be ready by the third day,(X) because on that day the Lord will come down(Y) on Mount Sinai(Z) in the sight of all the people. 12 Put limits(AA) for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful that you do not approach the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain is to be put to death. 13 They are to be stoned(AB) or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on them. No person or animal shall be permitted to live.’ Only when the ram’s horn(AC) sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”(AD)
14 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.(AE) 15 Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain(AF) from sexual relations.”
16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder(AG) and lightning, with a thick cloud(AH) over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast.(AI) Everyone in the camp trembled.(AJ) 17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.(AK) 18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke,(AL) because the Lord descended on it in fire.(AM) The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace,(AN) and the whole mountain[b] trembled(AO) violently. 19 As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice(AP) of God answered(AQ) him.[c]
20 The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai(AR) and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up 21 and the Lord said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see(AS) the Lord and many of them perish.(AT) 22 Even the priests, who approach(AU) the Lord, must consecrate(AV) themselves, or the Lord will break out against them.”(AW)
23 Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai,(AX) because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits(AY) around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
24 The Lord replied, “Go down and bring Aaron(AZ) up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the Lord, or he will break out against them.”(BA)
25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.
