Exodus 19:12-19

CLV(i) 12 Also you shall set a boundary for the people round about, saying: Guard yourselves concerning ascent into the mountain or touching its outmost part. Everyone touching the mountain shall be put to death, yea death. 13 No hand shall touch him, for he shall be stoned, yea stoned or shot, yea shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live. When the alarm horn draws forth, they may ascend onto the mountain. 14 So Moses descended from the mountain to the people; he hallowed the people, and they rinsed their garments. 15 Then he said to the people: Be prepared for three days; do not come close to a woman. 16 It came to be on the third day, at the coming of the morning, that there came to be sounds and flashes and a heavy cloud on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet, exceedingly steadfast. Hence all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 Yet Moses brought the people forth from the camp to meet the One, Elohim. So they stationed themselves at the nether part of the mountain. 18 As for Mount Sinai, all of it smoked in view of the fact that Yahweh descended on it in fire; its smoke ascended as the smoke of a limekiln, and the entire mountain trembled exceedingly. 19 While the sound of the trumpet came to be going, becoming exceedingly steadfast, Moses was speaking, and the One, Elohim was answering with a loud voice.
