Young's Literal Translation
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 of the going
out
of
the sons
of
Israel
from
the land of Egypt, in
this
day
they have
come
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
.
and
they journey
from Rephidim, and
enter
the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp
in
the
wilderness;
and
Israel encampeth
there 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 hath
gone
up unto
God, and Jehovah
calleth
unto
him out
of
the mount
, saying,
`Thus
dost
thou
say
to the house of Jacob ,
and declare
to the sons 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
--
ye
have seen that
which
I have
done
to the
Egyptians
, and I bear
you on eagles '
wings ,
and bring
you in
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 .
`And
now ,
if ye
really
hearken
to
My voice ,
then
ye
have
kept
My covenant, and
been
to
Me
a
peculiar
treasure
more
than
all the peoples,
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
--
ye
are
to
Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation :
these `
are '
the words which
thou
dost
speak unto
the sons
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 cometh,
and calleth
for
the elders of the people ,
and setteth
before them all these words which
Jehovah
hath
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 answer
together and
say
, `All
that Jehovah
hath
spoken we
do;'
and
Moses returneth
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
saith
unto
Moses, `Lo
, I am
coming
unto
thee
in the
thickness
of
the
cloud, so that the people hear in
My
speaking
with thee
, and also
believe
in thee
to
the
age;'
and Moses declareth
the words
of
the people unto
Jehovah
.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “
Go to
the people and consecrate
them today
and tomorrow.
They must
wash
their clothes
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
Go unto
the people ;
and thou
hast
sanctified
them to-day
and to-morrow,
and
they have
washed
their garments,
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 have
been
prepared for
the third day ;
for on the third day doth
Jehovah
come down before
the eyes
of all the people ,
on
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
hast
made
a border
`
for '
the people round
about
, saying,
Take
heed
to yourselves,
going
up into
the mount,
or coming
against
its extremity;
whoever is
coming
against
the mount
is
certainly
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
. ”
a
hand cometh
not
against
him, for
he is
certainly
stoned or shot through,
whether beast or
man
it
liveth
not ;
in
the drawing
out
of
the
jubilee
cornet
they go
up
into
the mount
. '
When
Moses came
down from the mountain
to
the people, he
consecrated
them
, and they washed
their clothes.
And
Moses cometh
down from the mount
unto
the people, and
sanctifieth
the
people
, and they wash
their garments;
“
Be prepared for the third day, ”
he
said
to
the
people.
“Do
not draw
near
to
a woman. ”
and
he
saith
unto
the
people,
`
Be ye
prepared for the third day, come
not nigh
unto
a woman. '
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
cometh
to
pass,
on the third day, while
it
is
morning, that
there are
voices,
and lightnings,
and
a heavy
cloud ,
on
the mount
, and the
sound
of
a trumpet
very strong;
and
all the people who
`are'
in the camp do
tremble
.
Then
Moses brought
the
people
out of
the camp
to meet with
God, and they stood
at the foot
of the mountain.
And
Moses bringeth
out the people
to meet God from
the
camp
, and they station
themselves
at the lower
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 `is'
wholly
a
smoke from
the presence
of
Jehovah,
who
hath
come
down
on it in fire ,
and its
smoke goeth
up
as
smoke of the
furnace, and the whole mount
trembleth
exceedingly;
And as
the sound of the ram’s
horn
grew
louder
and
louder
, Moses spoke
and God answered
him in
the
thunder
.
and the sound of the trumpet
is
going
on
, and
very
strong;
Moses speaketh,
and God doth
answer
him with
a
voice
.
The
LORD
descended
to
the top of Mount Sinai
and called
Moses to
the summit.
So
Moses went
up ,
And
Jehovah
cometh
down
on
mount
Sinai,
unto
the top of the
mount ,
and Jehovah
calleth
for
Moses unto
the top
of
the
mount,
and
Moses goeth
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 Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses
, `
Go down ,
protest
to
the people ,
lest
they
break through unto
Jehovah
to see, and
many of them have
fallen;
Even
the priests who approach
the
LORD
must
consecrate
themselves, or
the
LORD
will
break out
against
them. ”
and
also
the priests who are
coming
nigh
unto
Jehovah
do
sanctify
themselves, lest
Jehovah
break forth
on
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 saith
unto
Jehovah
, `
The people `is'
unable
to
come up unto
mount Sinai, for Thou
--
Thou
hast
protested
to
us, saying,
Make
a border
`for'
the mount,
then
thou
hast
sanctified
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 Jehovah
saith
unto
him
, `
Go ,
descend,
then
thou
hast
come
up,
thou,
and Aaron with thee;
and
the priests and the people do
not break through ,
to come up unto
Jehovah
, lest
He break forth
upon
them. '
So
Moses went
down to
the people and spoke
to
them .
And
Moses goeth
down unto
the people ,
and saith
unto
them :
