*
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 Ya #
aqob #,
and tell the children of Israel Yisra #
el #;
*
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 Yisra #
el #.
*
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 .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Go unto the people ,
and sanctify them to day and to morrow ,
and let them wash their clothes ,
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people ,
and sanctified the people ;
and they washed their clothes .
*
And he said unto the people ,
Be ready against the third day :
come not at your wives .
*
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 .
*
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God ;
and they stood at the nether part of the mount .
