King James Version
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.
In the third month, when
the children
of Israel
were
gone
forth
out
of
the land of Egypt, the
same
day
came they
into
the wilderness of Sinai.
After
they had
set
out
from Rephidim, they
entered
the Wilderness
of Sinai, and Israel camped there
in
front
of
the mountain
.
For
they were
departed
from Rephidim, and
were
come
to
the desert
of Sinai, and had
pitched
in
the
wilderness;
and
there
Israel camped before
the mount
.
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 :
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 ,
and tell
the children
of Israel ;
‘You
have seen for
yourselves
what I did to
Egypt
, and how I carried
you on eagles ’
wings and brought you to
Myself.
Ye
have seen what I did unto
the
Egyptians
, and how I bare
you on eagles '
wings ,
and brought you unto
myself.
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 .
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 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 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
.
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
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, “We
will
do
everything
that the LORD has
spoken. ”
So
Moses brought
their
words back
to
the LORD.
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.
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
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
.
Then
the LORD said to
Moses, “
Go to
the people and consecrate
them today
and tomorrow.
They
must
wash their clothes
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 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 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 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 .
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 :
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
. ”
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
.
When
Moses came
down from the mountain
to
the people, he
consecrated
them,
and they washed their clothes.
And
Moses went
down from the mount
unto
the people, and sanctified
the
people;
and
they washed their clothes.
“Be
prepared
for
the
third
day,”
he said to
the people .
“Do
not draw
near
to
a
woman
. ”
And
he said unto
the people ,
Be
ready
against
the
third
day:
come
not at
your
wives
.
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
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.
Then
Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God ,
and they stood at the foot
of the mountain
.
And
Moses brought forth
the people out of the camp to meet with God ;
and they stood at the nether
part
of the mount
.
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
mount Sinai was altogether
on
a
smoke, because the LORD descended upon
it in fire :
and the smoke thereof
ascended
as
the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount
quaked greatly
.
And as
the sound
of the ram’s
horn
grew
louder and louder, Moses spoke
and God answered him in
the
thunder
.
And when
the voice
of the trumpet
sounded
long,
and
waxed
louder and louder, Moses spake,
and God answered him by
a
voice
.
The LORD descended
to
the top of Mount Sinai
and called Moses to the summit.
So
Moses went up ,
And
the LORD came
down
upon
mount
Sinai,
on
the top of the
mount :
and the
LORD
called Moses up
to the top
of
the
mount;
and
Moses went up .
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 the LORD said unto
Moses
, Go down ,
charge
the people ,
lest
they
break through unto
the LORD to
gaze
, and
many of them perish.
Even
the priests who
approach
the LORD must
consecrate
themselves, or
the LORD will
break out
against
them. ”
And
let
the priests also,
which
come
near
to
the LORD ,
sanctify
themselves, lest
the LORD break forth
upon
them.
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
Moses said unto
the LORD, The people cannot come up to
mount Sinai :
for thou
chargedst
us, saying,
Set
bounds
about
the mount,
and sanctify
it.
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. ”
And the LORD said
unto
him
, Away,
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
the LORD, lest
he break forth
upon
them.
So Moses went down to
the people and spoke
to
them.
So Moses went down unto
the people ,
and spake
unto
them.
