Exodus 19:12-19

LITV(i) 12 And you shall set limits to the people all around, saying, Be careful for yourselves, not going up into the mountain and touching its border; everyone touching the mountain shall surely be killed. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but surely he shall be stoned, or surely he shall be shot through. He shall not live, whether animal or man. At the sounding of the ram's horn, they shall go up into the mountain. 14 And Moses went from the mountain to the people. And he sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day. Do not approach a woman. 16 And on the third day, it being morning, it happened: There were thunders and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a ram's horn, very strong! And all the people in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses caused the people to go up from the camp to meet God. And they took their stand at the lower part of the mountain. 18 And the mountain of Sinai was smoking, all of it, because Jehovah came down on it in fire. And its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace; and the mountain quaked exceedingly. 19 And it happened while the sound of the ram's horn was sounding, and becoming very strong, Moses spoke. And God answered him by a voice.
