19:1 In the third 7992 month 2320, when the children 1121 of Israel 3478 were gone forth 3318 8800 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, the same day 3117 came 935 8804 they [into] the wilderness 4057 of Sinai 5514.

19:2 For they were departed 5265 8799 from Rephidim 7508, and were come 935 8799 [to] the desert 4057 of Sinai 5514, and had pitched 2583 8799 in the wilderness 4057; and there Israel 3478 camped 2583 8799 before the mount 2022.

19:3 And Moses 4872 went up 5927 8804 unto God 430, and the LORD 3068 called 7121 8799 unto him out of the mountain 2022, saying 559 8800, Thus shalt thou say 559 8799 to the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, and tell 5046 8686 the children 1121 of Israel 3478;

19:4 Ye have seen 7200 8804 what I did 6213 8804 unto the Egyptians 4714, and [how] I bare 5375 8799 you on eagles' 5404 wings 3671, and brought 935 8686 you unto myself.

19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey 8085 8799 my voice 6963 indeed 8085 8800, and keep 8104 8804 my covenant 1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure 5459 unto me above all people 5971: for all the earth 776 [is] mine:

19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom 4467 of priests 3548, and an holy 6918 nation 1471. These [are] the words 1697 which thou shalt speak 1696 8762 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

19:7 And Moses 4872 came 935 8799 and called 7121 8799 for the elders 2205 of the people 5971, and laid 7760 8799 before their faces 6440 all these words 1697 which the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 him.

19:8 And all the people 5971 answered 6030 8799 together 3162, and said 559 8799, All that the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 8765 we will do 6213 8799. And Moses 4872 returned 7725 8686 the words 1697 of the people 5971 unto the LORD 3068.

19:9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Lo, I come 935 8802 unto thee in a thick 5645 cloud 6051, that the people 5971 may hear 8085 8799 when I speak 1696 8763 with thee, and believe 539 8686 thee for ever 5769. And Moses 4872 told 5046 8686 the words 1697 of the people 5971 unto the LORD 3068.

19:10 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Go 3212 8798 unto the people 5971, and sanctify 6942 8765 them to day 3117 and to morrow 4279, and let them wash 3526 8765 their clothes 8071,

19:11 And be ready 3559 8737 against the third 7992 day 3117: for the third 7992 day 3117 the LORD 3068 will come down 3381 8799 in the sight 5869 of all the people 5971 upon mount 2022 Sinai 5514.

19:12 And thou shalt set bounds 1379 8689 unto the people 5971 round about 5439, saying 559 8800, Take heed 8104 8734 to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up 5927 8800 into the mount 2022, or touch 5060 8800 the border 7097 of it: whosoever toucheth 5060 8802 the mount 2022 shall be surely 4191 8800 put to death 4191 8714:

19:13 There shall not an hand 3027 touch 5060 8799 it, but he shall surely 5619 8800 be stoned 5619 8735, or 176 shot 3384 8735 through 3384 8800; whether [it be] beast 929 or 518 man 376, it shall not live 2421 8799: when the trumpet 3104 soundeth long 4900 8800, they shall come up 5927 8799 to the mount 2022.(trumpet: or, cornet)

19:14 And Moses 4872 went down 3381 8799 from the mount 2022 unto the people 5971, and sanctified 6942 8762 the people 5971; and they washed 3526 8762 their clothes 8071.

19:15 And he said 559 8799 unto the people 5971, Be 1961 8798 ready 3559 8737 against the third 7969 day 3117: come 5066 8799 not at [your] wives 802.

19:16 And it came to pass on the third 7992 day 3117 in the morning 1242, that there were thunders 6963 and lightnings 1300, and a thick 3515 cloud 6051 upon the mount 2022, and the voice 6963 of the trumpet 7782 exceeding 3966 loud 2389; so that all the people 5971 that [was] in the camp 4264 trembled 2729 8799.

19:17 And Moses 4872 brought forth 3318 8686 the people 5971 out of the camp 4264 to meet 7125 8800 with God 430; and they stood 3320 8691 at the nether 8482 part of the mount 2022.

19:18 And mount 2022 Sinai 5514 was altogether on a smoke 6225 8804, because 6440 834 the LORD 3068 descended 3381 8804 upon it in fire 784: and the smoke 6227 thereof ascended 5927 8799 as the smoke 6227 of a furnace 3536, and the whole mount 2022 quaked 2729 8799 greatly 3966.

19:19 And when the voice 6963 of the trumpet 7782 sounded 6963 long 1980 8802, and waxed louder 2390 and louder 3966, Moses 4872 spake 1696 8762, and God 430 answered 6030 8799 him by a voice 6963.

19:20 And the LORD 3068 came down 3381 8799 upon mount 2022 Sinai 5514, on the top 7218 of the mount 2022: and the LORD 3068 called 7121 8799 Moses 4872 [up] to 413 the top 7218 of the mount 2022; and Moses 4872 went up 5927 8799.

19:21 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Go down 3381 8798, charge 5749 8685 the people 5971, lest they break through 2040 8799 unto the LORD 3068 to gaze 7200 8800, and many 7227 of them perish 5307 8804.(charge: Heb. contest)

19:22 And let the priests 3548 also, which come near 5066 8737 to the LORD 3068, sanctify 6942 8691 themselves, lest the LORD 3068 break forth 6555 8799 upon them.

19:23 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto the LORD 3068, The people 5971 cannot 3201 8799 come up 5927 8800 to mount 2022 Sinai 5514: for thou chargedst 5749 8689 us, saying 559 8800, Set bounds 1379 8685 about the mount 2022, and sanctify 6942 8765 it.

19:24 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto him, Away 3212 8798, get thee down 3381 8798, and thou shalt come up 5927 8804, thou, and Aaron 175 with thee: but let not the priests 3548 and the people 5971 break through 2040 8799 to come up 5927 8800 unto the LORD 3068, lest he break forth 6555 8799 upon them.

19:25 So Moses 4872 went down 3381 8799 unto the people 5971, and spake 559 8799 unto them.
