Exodus 19:10-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes(A) 11 and prepare for the third day, because on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.(B) 12 You shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful not to go up the mountain or to touch the edge of it. Any who touch the mountain shall be put to death.(C) 13 No hand shall touch them, but they shall be stoned or shot with arrows;[a] whether animal or human being, they shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they may go up on the mountain.” 14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people. He consecrated the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, “Prepare for the third day; do not go near a woman.”
