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.
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.
And Moses
went up
unto God,
and the LORD
called
unto him out of the mountain,
saying,
Thus shalt thou say
to the house
of Jacob,
and tell
the children
of Israel;
Ye have seen
what I did
unto the Egyptians,
and how I bare
you on eagles'
wings,
and brought
you unto myself.
Now therefore, if ye will obey
my voice
indeed,
and keep
my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure
unto me above all people:
for all the earth
is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom
of priests,
and an holy
nation.
These are the words
which thou shalt speak
unto the children
of Israel.
And Moses
came
and called
for the elders
of the people,
and laid
before their faces
all these words
which the LORD
commanded
him.
And all the people
answered
together,
and said,
All that the LORD
hath spoken
we will do.
And Moses
returned
the words
of the people
unto the LORD.

And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Lo, I come
unto thee in a thick
cloud,
that the people
may hear
when I speak
with thee, and believe
thee for ever.
And Moses
told
the words
of the people
unto the LORD.

And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Go
unto the people,
and sanctify
them to day
and to morrow,
and let them wash
their clothes,
And be ready
against the third
day:
for the third
day
the LORD
will come down
in the sight
of all the people
upon mount
Sinai.
And thou shalt set bounds
unto the people
round about,
saying,
Take heed
to yourselves, that ye go not up
into the mount,
or touch
the border
of it: whosoever toucheth
the mount
shall be surely
put to death:
There shall not an hand
touch
it, but he shall surely
be stoned,
or
shot
through;
whether it be beast
or
man,
it shall not live:
when the trumpet
soundeth long,
they shall come up
to the mount.
And Moses
went down
from the mount
unto the people,
and sanctified
the people;
and they washed
their clothes.
And he said
unto the people,
Be
ready
against the third
day:
come
not at your wives.
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.

And Moses
brought forth
the people
out of the camp
to meet
with God;
and they stood
at the nether
part of the mount.
And mount
Sinai
was altogether on a smoke,
because
the LORD
descended
upon it in fire:
and the smoke
thereof ascended
as the smoke
of a furnace,
and the whole mount
quaked
greatly.

ἐκαπνίζετο
ekapnizeto
And when the voice
of the trumpet
sounded
long,
and waxed louder
and louder,
Moses
spake,
and God
answered
him by a voice.
And the LORD
came down
upon mount
Sinai,
on the top
of the mount:
and the LORD
called
Moses
up to
the top
of the mount;
and Moses
went up.

And the LORD
said
unto Moses,
Go down,
charge
the people,
lest they break through
unto the LORD
to gaze,
and many
of them perish.
say
And let the priests
also, which come near
to the LORD,
sanctify
themselves, lest the LORD
break forth
upon them.
And Moses
said
unto the LORD,
The people
cannot
come up
to mount
Sinai:
for thou chargedst
us, saying,
Set bounds
about the mount,
and sanctify
it.
say
And the LORD
said
unto him, Away,
get thee down,
and thou shalt come up,
thou, and Aaron
with thee: but let not the priests
and the people
break through
to come up
unto the LORD,
lest he break forth
upon them.

So Moses
went down
unto the people,
and spake
unto them.
