Berean Standard Bible
In the third month after
the children
of
Israel
were
gone
forth
out
of the land of Egypt, the
same
day
came
they into
the wilderness of Sinai.
In the third month ,
on
the same
day
of the month
that
the
Israelites
had
left
the
land of Egypt, they came
to
the Wilderness of Sinai.
And
when
they were
departed
from Rephidim, and
were
come
to
the wilderness of Sinai, they
encamped
in
the
wilderness;
and there
Israel encamped
before
the mount
.
After
they had
set
out
from Rephidim, they
entered
the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped
there
in
front
of
the mountain
.
And
Moses went up unto
God, and Jehovah
called unto
him out
of
the mountain, saying,
Thus
shalt
thou
say
to the house of Jacob ,
and tell
the children
of Israel:
Then
Moses went up to
God, and the
LORD
called to
him from
the mountain, “This
is
what
you
are
to tell
the house of Jacob and explain
to
the sons
of Israel:
Ye
have seen what I did unto
the
Egyptians
, and how I bare
you on eagles '
wings ,
and brought you unto
myself.
‘You
have seen for
yourselves
what I did to
Egypt
, and how I carried
you on eagles ’
wings and brought you to
Myself.
Now therefore,
if ye
will obey my voice indeed,
and keep my covenant, then
ye
shall
be mine
own
possession from
among
all peoples:
for all
the earth is mine :
Now if you
will indeed
obey My voice and keep My covenant, you
will
be My
treasured
possession out
of
all the
nations—
for the whole
earth is Mine .
and ye
shall
be
unto me a kingdom of priests ,
and a holy nation. These are the words which
thou
shalt
speak unto
the children
of
Israel
.
And unto Me you
shall
be
a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. ’
These are the words that
you
are
to
speak to
the Israelites
. ”
And
Moses came
and called
for
the elders of the people ,
and set before them all these words which
Jehovah
commanded him.
So
Moses went
back
and summoned
the elders of the people and set before them all these words that
the
LORD
had
commanded him.
And all the people answered together, and
said,
All
that
Jehovah
hath
spoken
we will do. And
Moses reported
the
words of
the people
unto
Jehovah
.
And all the people answered together, “
We will do everything
that
the
LORD
has
spoken
. ”
So
Moses brought
their
words back
to
the LORD
.
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Lo
, I come unto
thee
in a thick
cloud, that the people may
hear when I speak with thee
, and may
also
believe
thee
for
ever
. And Moses told
the words
of
the people unto
Jehovah
.
The
LORD
said to
Moses, “Behold
, I will
come to
you
in a dense
cloud, so
that the people will
hear when I speak with you
, and they
will
always
put
their
trust
in
you
. ”
And Moses relayed
to
the LORD
what
the people had
said
.
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Go unto
the people ,
and sanctify
them to-day
and
to-morrow,
and let
them
wash their garments,
Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Go to
the people and consecrate
them today
and tomorrow.
They
must
wash their clothes
and be ready
against
the third day ;
for the third day Jehovah
will come down in the sight of all the people upon
mount
Sinai
.
and be prepared
by
the third day ,
for on
the third day the
LORD
will come down on
Mount
Sinai
in the sight of all the people.
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 :
And you
are
to
set up
a
boundary
for
the people around
the
mountain
and
tell
them
, ‘Be
careful
not
to go up on
the mountain
or touch its
base.
Whoever
touches
the mountain
shall surely be
put to death .
no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned ,
or shot through;
whether it
be
beast
or
man, he shall
not live :
when the trumpet
soundeth
long ,
they shall
come
up
to
the mount
.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with
arrows—
whether man or
beast
, he must
not live .’
Only
when the ram’s
horn
sounds
a
long blast
may
they approach
the mountain
. ”
And
Moses went
down from the mount
unto
the people, and
sanctified
the
people;
and they washed their garments
.
When
Moses came
down from the mountain
to
the people, he
consecrated
them,
and they washed their clothes
.
And
he
said
unto
the
people,
Be ready
against
the third day :
come
not near a woman.
“
Be prepared
for
the third day ,”
he
said
to
the
people.
“Do
not draw
near to
a woman. ”
And
it
came
to
pass
on the third day, when it
was
morning, that
there were
thunders
and
lightnings,
and a thick cloud upon the mount
, and the
voice
of
a trumpet
exceeding
loud ;
and
all the people that
were
in the camp trembled.
On the third day, when morning came
, there was
thunder
and lightning.
A thick cloud was
upon the mountain
, and a very
loud blast
of
the
ram’s
horn
went
out,
so
that
all the people in the camp trembled.
And
Moses brought forth
the people out of the camp to meet God ;
and they stood at the nether
part
of the mount
.
Then
Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with
God ,
and they stood at the foot
of the mountain
.
And
mount Sinai ,
the
whole
of
it,
smoked
, because Jehovah
descended upon
it in fire ;
and the smoke thereof
ascended
as
the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount
quaked greatly
.
Mount Sinai was
completely
enveloped
in
smoke
, because the
LORD
had
descended on
it in fire .
And the smoke rose
like
the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain
quaked violently
.
And when
the voice
of the trumpet
waxed
louder and louder, Moses spake,
and God answered him by
a
voice
.
And as
the sound
of the ram’s
horn
grew
louder and louder, Moses spoke
and God answered him in
the
thunder
.
And
Jehovah
came
down
upon
mount
Sinai,
to the top of the
mount :
and Jehovah
called Moses to the top
of
the
mount;
and
Moses went up .
The
LORD
descended
to the top of Mount Sinai
and called Moses to the summit.
So
Moses went up ,
And Jehovah
said unto
Moses
, Go down ,
charge
the people ,
lest
they
break through unto
Jehovah
to gaze
, and
many of them perish.
and the
LORD
said to
him
, “
Go down and
warn
the people not
to
break through to see
the
LORD
, lest
many of them perish.
And
let
the priests also,
that
come
near
to
Jehovah,
sanctify
themselves, lest
Jehovah
break forth
upon
them.
Even
the priests who
approach
the
LORD
must
consecrate
themselves, or
the
LORD
will
break out
against
them. ”
And
Moses said unto
Jehovah
, The people cannot come up to
mount Sinai :
for thou
didst
charge
us, saying,
Set
bounds
about
the mount,
and sanctify
it.
But
Moses said to
the
LORD
, “
The people cannot come up Mount Sinai ,
for You
solemnly
warned
us, ‘Put
a
boundary
around
the mountain
and set
it apart
as
holy
. ’”
And Jehovah
said
unto
him
, Go ,
get
thee
down ;
and thou
shalt
come
up,
thou,
and
Aaron with thee:
but let
not
the priests and the people break through to come up unto
Jehovah
, lest
he break forth
upon
them.
And the
LORD
replied
, “
Go down and bring
Aaron with you.
But the priests and the people must
not
break through to come up to
the
LORD
, or
He will
break out
against
them. ”
So Moses went down unto
the people ,
and told
them.
So Moses went down to
the people and spoke
to
them.
