|
5. Now H6258 therefore, if H518 ye will obey my voice indeed H8085 H8085 H6963 , and keep H8104 H853 my covenant H1285 , then ye shall be H1961 a peculiar treasure H5459 unto me above all H4480 H3605 people H5971 : for H3588 all H3605 the earth H776 is mine:

|
|
8. Then all the people responded together, "We will do all that the LORD has spoken." So Moses brought the people's words back to the LORD.
|
8. And all H3605 the people H5971 answered H6030 together H3162 , and said H559 , All H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 we will do H6213 . And Moses H4872 returned H7725 H853 the words H1697 of the people H5971 unto H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. The LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you and will always believe you." Then Moses reported the people's words to the LORD.
|
9. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Lo H2009 , I H595 come H935 unto H413 thee in a thick H5645 cloud H6051 , that H5668 the people H5971 may hear H8085 when I speak H1696 with H5973 thee , and believe H539 thee forever H5769 . And Moses H4872 told H5046 H853 the words H1697 of the people H5971 unto H413 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. And the LORD told Moses, "Go to the people and purify them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

10. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Go H1980 unto H413 the people H5971 , and sanctify H6942 them today H3117 and tomorrow H4279 , and let them wash H3526 their clothes H8071 ,
|
|
11. and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
|
11. And be H1961 ready H3559 against the third H7992 day H3117 : for H3588 the third H7992 day H3117 the LORD H3068 will come down H3381 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 the people H5971 upon H5921 mount H2022 Sinai H5514 .
|
|
12. Put boundaries for the people all around the mountain and say: Be careful that you don't go up on the mountain or touch its base. Anyone who touches the mountain will be put to death.
|
12. And thou shalt set bounds H1379 H853 unto the people H5971 round about H5439 , saying H559 , Take heed H8104 to yourselves, that ye go not up H5927 into the mount H2022 , or touch H5060 the border H7097 of it: whosoever H3605 toucheth H5060 the mount H2022 shall be surely put to death H4191 H4191 :
|
|
13. No hand may touch him; instead he will be stoned or shot with arrows, neither animal or man will live. When the ram's horn sounds a long blast, they may go up the mountain."
|
13. There shall not H3808 a hand H3027 touch H5060 it, but H3588 he shall surely be stoned H5619 H5619 , or H176 shot through H3384 H3384 ; whether H518 it be beast H929 or H518 man H376 , it shall not H3808 live H2421 : when the trumpet H3104 soundeth long H4900 , they H1992 shall come up H5927 to the mount H2022 .
|
|
14. Then Moses came down from the mountain to the people and consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.
|
14. And Moses H4872 went down H3381 from H4480 the mount H2022 unto H413 the people H5971 , and sanctified H6942 H853 the people H5971 ; and they washed H3526 their clothes H8071 .
|
|
15. He said to the people, "Be prepared by the third day. Do not have sexual relations with women."
|
15. And he said H559 unto H413 the people H5971 , Be H1961 ready H3559 against the third H7969 day H3117 : come H5066 not H408 at H413 your wives H802 .
|
|
16. On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud on the mountain, and a loud trumpet sound, so that all the people in the camp shuddered.
|
16. And it came to pass H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117 in the morning H1242 , that there were H1961 thunders H6963 and lightnings H1300 , and a thick H3515 cloud H6051 upon H5921 the mount H2022 , and the voice H6963 of the trumpet H7782 exceeding H3966 loud H2389 ; so that all H3605 the people H5971 that H834 was in the camp H4264 trembled H2729 .
|
|
17. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
|
17. And Moses H4872 brought forth H3318 H853 the people H5971 out of H4480 the camp H4264 to meet H7125 with God H430 ; and they stood H3320 at the nether part H8482 of the mount H2022 .
|
|
18. Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke because the LORD came down on it in fire. Its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
|
18. And mount H2022 Sinai H5514 was altogether H3605 on a smoke H6225 , because H4480 H6440 H834 the LORD H3068 descended H3381 upon H5921 it in fire H784 : and the smoke H6227 thereof ascended H5927 as the smoke H6227 of a furnace H3536 , and the whole H3605 mount H2022 quaked H2729 greatly H3966 .
|
|
19. As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.
|
19. And when H1961 the voice H6963 of the trumpet H7782 sounded long H1980 , and waxed louder and louder H2388 H3966 , Moses H4872 spoke H1696 , and God H430 answered H6030 him by a voice H6963 .
|
|
20. The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, at the top of the mountain. Then the LORD summoned Moses to the top of the mountain, and he went up.
|
20. And the LORD H3068 came down H3381 upon H5921 mount H2022 Sinai H5514 , on H413 the top H7218 of the mount H2022 : and the LORD H3068 called H7121 Moses H4872 up to H413 the top H7218 of the mount H2022 ; and Moses H4872 went up H5927 .
|
|
21. The LORD directed Moses, "Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD; otherwise many of them will die.
|
21. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Go down H3381 , charge H5749 the people H5971 , lest H6435 they break through H2040 unto H413 the LORD H3068 to gaze H7200 , and many H7227 of H4480 them perish H5307 .
|
|
22. Even the priests who come near the LORD must purify themselves or the LORD will break out in anger against them."
|
22. And let the priests H3548 also H1571 , which come near H5066 to H413 the LORD H3068 , sanctify themselves H6942 , lest H6435 the LORD H3068 break forth H6555 upon them.
|
|
23. But Moses responded to the LORD, "The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, since You warned us: Put a boundary around the mountain and consider it holy."
|
23. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , The people H5971 cannot H3808 H3201 come up H5927 to H413 mount H2022 Sinai H5514 : for H3588 thou H859 chargedst H5749 us, saying H559 , Set bounds H1379 H853 about the mount H2022 , and sanctify H6942 it.
|
|
24. And the LORD replied to him, "Go down and come back with Aaron. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out in anger against them."
|
24. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 him, Away H1980 , get thee down H3381 , and thou shalt come up H5927 , thou H859 , and Aaron H175 with H5973 thee : but let not H408 the priests H3548 and the people H5971 break through H2040 to come up H5927 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , lest H6435 he break forth H6555 upon them.
|
|
25. So Moses went down to the people and told them.
|
25. So Moses H4872 went down H3381 unto H413 the people H5971 , and spoke H559 unto H413 them.
