the L
ORD
hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the L
ORD
.
9
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
10
And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow,
and let them wash their clothes,
11
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the L
ORD
will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12
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:
13
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.
14
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they
washed their clothes.
15
And he said unto 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.
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 L
ORD
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof 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 spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20
And the L
ORD
came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the L
ORD
called Moses
up
to the top
of the mount; and Moses went up.
21
And the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people,
lest they break through unto the L
ORD
to gaze, and many of them perish.
22
And let the priests also,
which come near to the L
ORD
, sanctify themselves, lest the L
ORD
break forth upon them.
23
And
Moses said unto the L
ORD
, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying,
Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, lest he break forth upon them.
25
So Moses went down unto the
people, and spake unto them.
CHAPTER 20
And God spake all these words, saying,
2
I
am
the L
ORD
thy God, which have brought thee out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4
Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness
of any thing
that
is
in heaven above, or
that
is
in the earth beneath, or that
is
in the water under the earth:
5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself
