*
and be ready by the third day ;
for on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people .
*
And you shall set bounds for the people round about ,
saying , `
Take heed that you do not go up into the mountain or touch the border of it ;
whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death ;
*
no hand shall touch him ,
but he shall be stoned or shot ;
whether beast or man ,
he shall not live .'
When the trumpet sounds a long blast ,
they shall come up to the mountain ."
*
So Moses went down from the mountain to the people ,
and consecrated the people ;
and they washed their garments .
*
And he said to the people , "
Be ready by the third day ;
do not go near a woman ."
*
On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings ,
and a thick cloud upon the mountain ,
and a very loud trumpet blast ,
so that all the people who were in the camp trembled .
*
Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God ;
and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain .
*
And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke ,
because the LORD descended upon it in fire ;
and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln ,
and the whole mountain quaked greatly .
*
And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder ,
Moses spoke ,
and God answered him in thunder .
*
And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai ,
to the top of the mountain ;
and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain ,
and Moses went up .
