Then Moses went up to God,(A) and the Lord called(B) 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: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt,(C) and how I carried you on eagles’ wings(D) and brought you to myself.(E) Now if you obey me fully(F) and keep my covenant,(G) then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.(H) Although the whole earth(I) is mine, you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests(J) and a holy nation.’(K) These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”

So Moses went back and summoned the elders(L) of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak.(M) The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.”(N) So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.

The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud,(O) so that the people will hear me speaking(P) with you and will always put their trust(Q) 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(R) them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes(S) 11 and be ready by the third day,(T) because on that day the Lord will come down(U) on Mount Sinai(V) in the sight of all the people. 12 Put limits(W) 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(X) 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(Y) sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”(Z)

14 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.(AA) 15 Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain(AB) from sexual relations.”

16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder(AC) and lightning, with a thick cloud(AD) over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast.(AE) Everyone in the camp trembled.(AF) 17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.(AG)

  1. Exodus 19:6 Or possession, for the whole earth is mine. You

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;

Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

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:

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.

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.

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.

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.
