1 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.
2 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.
3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD [Yahweh] called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus will you say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
5 Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you will be a peculiar treasure to me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:
6 And you will be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These [are] the words which you will speak to the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD [Yahweh] commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD [Yahweh] has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD [Yahweh].
9 And the LORD [Yahweh] said to Moses, Lo, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD [Yahweh].

10 And the LORD [Yahweh] said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD [Yahweh] will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And you will set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [that you] go [not] up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whoever touches the mount will be surely put to death:
13 There will not a hand touch it, but he will surely be stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it will not live: when the trumpet sounds long, they will come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at [your] wives.
16 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.
 - CLOUD - GLORY
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD [Yahweh] descended upon it in fire: and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the LORD [Yahweh] came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD [Yahweh] called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 And the LORD [Yahweh] said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD [Yahweh] to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD [Yahweh], sanctify themselves, lest the LORD [Yahweh] break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said to the LORD [Yahweh], The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for you charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 And the LORD [Yahweh] said to him, Away, get you down, and you will come up, you, and Aaron with you: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD [Yahweh], lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
