Exodus 19:16–22

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who are in the camp do tremble. ¹⁷And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount, ¹⁸and mount Sinai is wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly; ¹⁹and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice. ²⁰And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up. ²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen; ²²and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.’
