Exodus 19:10-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ The Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people. Consecrate them today and tomorrow, and have them wash their clothes. ¹¹ Be ready by the third day, for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. ¹² You shall set boundaries for the people all around the mountain. Tell them: ‘Be careful that you do not go up onto the mountain or touch the edge of it.’ Whoever touches the mountain must certainly be put to death. ¹³ No one’s hand is to touch such a person, but that person is to be stoned to death or shot with arrows. No such animal or person shall be allowed to live. But when the special ram’s horn sounds a long blast, the people may come up to the mountain.”

¹⁴ Moses went down from the mountain to the people. He consecrated the people, and they washed their clothes. ¹⁵ He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Do not come near a woman.”^[a]
