< Exodus 19 >
1 In the month third of [the] going out of [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt on the day this they came [the] wilderness of Sinai.
In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 And they set out from Rephidim and they came [the] wilderness of Sinai and they encamped in the wilderness and it encamped there Israel before the mountain.
When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3 And Moses he went up to God and he called to him Yahweh from the mountain saying thus you will say to [the] house of Jacob so you may tell to [the] people of Israel.
Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 You you have seen [that] which I did to Egypt and I carried you on wings of eagles and I brought you to myself.
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
5 And therefore certainly [if] you will listen to voice my and you will keep covenant my and you will be of me a possession from all the peoples for [belongs] to me all the earth.
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
6 And you you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a nation holy these [are] the words which you will speak to [the] people of Israel.
and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 And he went Moses and he summoned [the] elders of the people and he set before them all the words these which he had commanded him Yahweh.
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And they answered all the people together and they said all that he has spoken Yahweh we will do and he brought back Moses [the] words of the people to Yahweh.
All the people answered together, and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
9 And he said Yahweh to Moses here! I [am] about to come to you in [the] dark cloud of the cloud in order that may hear the people when speak I with you and also in you they will trust for ever and he told Moses [the] words of the people to Yahweh.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
10 And he said Yahweh to Moses go to the people and you will consecrate them this day and tomorrow and they will wash clothes their.
The LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 And they will be prepared for the day third for - on the day third he will come down Yahweh to [the] eyes of all the people on [the] mountain of Sinai.
and be ready for the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
12 And you will set a boundary for the people all around saying take heed to yourselves to go up on the mountain and to touch edge its every [one who] touches the mountain certainly he will be put to death.
You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13 Not it will touch him a hand for certainly he will be stoned to death or certainly he will be shot whether an animal or a human not it will live when sounds the ram's horn they they will go up on the mountain.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14 And he went down Moses from the mountain to the people and he consecrated the people and they washed clothes their.
Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said to the people be prepared to three days may not you draw near to a woman.
He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16 And it was on the day third when came the morning and it was thunder claps and lightning and a cloud heavy on the mountain and [the] sound of a ram's horn strong very and it trembled all the people which [was] in the camp.
On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 And he led out Moses the people to meet God from the camp and they stood at [the] lower part of the mountain.
Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18 And [the] mountain of Sinai it was smoking all of it because that he had come down on it Yahweh in fire and it went up smoke its like [the] smoke of furnace and it trembled all the mountain exceedingly.
All of Mount Sinai smoked, because the LORD descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19 And it was [the] sound of the ram's horn going and strong very Moses he spoke and God he answered him with a voice.
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And he came down Yahweh on [the] mountain of Sinai to [the] top of the mountain and he summoned Yahweh Moses to [the] top of the mountain and he went up Moses.
The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. The LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 And he said Yahweh to Moses go down warn the people lest they should break through to Yahweh to see and it will fall of it many.
The LORD said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And also the priests who draw near to Yahweh they will make themselves holy lest he should break out against them Yahweh.
Let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break out on them.”
23 And he said Moses to Yahweh not it is able the people to go up to [the] mountain of Sinai for you you warned us saying set a boundary for the mountain and you will consecrate it.
Moses said to the LORD, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24 And he said to him Yahweh go go down and you will come up you and Aaron with you and the priests and the people may not they break through to come up to Yahweh lest he should break out against them.
The LORD said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break out against them.”
25 And he went down Moses to the people and he spoke to them.
So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
