Exodus 19:22

New English Translation

²²Let the priests also, who approach the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break through^[a] against them.”

Exodus 19:22 tn The verb יִפְרֹץ (yifrots) is the imperfect tense from פָּרַץ (parats, “to make a breach, to break through”). The image of Yahweh breaking forth on them means “work destruction” (see 2 Sam 6:8; S. R. Driver, Exodus, 174).

Exodus 19:22
