Exodus 19 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Moses on Sinai

In the third^H7992 month^H2320 after the sons^H1121 of Israel^H3478 had gone^H3318 out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, [fn]on that very day^H3117 they came^H935 into the wilderness^H4057 of Sinai^H5514.

Exo 19:2

Exo 19:2When they set out from Rephidim, they came to the wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped in front of the mountain.

Exo 19:3

Exo 19:3And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel:

Exo 19:4

Exo 19:4‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.

Exo 19:5

Exo 19:5‘Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My [fn]own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine;

Exo 19:6

Exo 19:6and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.”

Exo 19:7

So Moses^H4872 came^H935 and called^H7121 the elders^H2205 of the people^H5971, and set^H7760 before^H6440 them all^H3605 these^H428 words^H1697 which^H834 the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680 him.

Exo 19:8

Exo 19:8Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do!” And Moses brought back the words of the people to the LORD.

Exo 19:9

Exo 19:9Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also trust in you forever.” Then Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

Exo 19:10

The LORD^H3068 also said^H559 to Moses^H4872, “Go^H1980 to the people^H5971 and consecrate^H6942 them today^H3117 and tomorrow^H4279, and have them wash^H3526 their garments^H8071;

Exo 19:11

Exo 19:11and have them ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

Exo 19:12

Exo 19:12“But you shall set boundaries for the people all around, saying, ‘[fn]Beware that you do not go up on the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall certainly be put to death.

Exo 19:13

Exo 19:13‘No hand shall touch him, but he shall certainly be stoned or [fn]shot through; whether animal or person, the violator shall not live.’ When the ram’s horn sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.”

Exo 19:14

Exo 19:14So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people, and they washed their garments.

Exo 19:15

Exo 19:15He also said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman.”

Exo 19:16

So it came^H1961 about^H1961 on the third^H7992 day^H3117, when it was morning^H1242, that there were [fn]thunder^H6963 and lightning^H1300 flashes^H1300 and a thick^H3515 cloud^H6051 over the mountain^H2022 and a very^H3966 loud^H2389 trumpet^H7782 sound^H6963, so that all^H3605 the people^H5971 who^H834 were in the camp^H4264 trembled^H2729.

Exo 19:17

Exo 19:17And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the [fn]foot of the mountain.

The LORD Visits Sinai

Exo 19:18

Exo 19:18Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the entire mountain [fn]quaked violently.

Exo 19:19

Exo 19:19When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him with [fn]thunder.

Exo 19:20

Exo 19:20Then the LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

Exo 19:21

Exo 19:21Then the LORD spoke to Moses: “Go down, [fn]warn the people, so that they do not break through to the LORD to stare, and many of them [fn]perish.

Exo 19:22

Exo 19:22“Also have the priests who approach the LORD consecrate themselves, or else the LORD will break out against them.”

Exo 19:23

Exo 19:23And Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for You [fn]warned us, saying, ‘Set boundaries around the mountain and consecrate it.’”

Exo 19:24

Exo 19:24Then the LORD said to him, “[fn]Go down and come up again, you and Aaron with you; but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”

Exo 19:25

Exo 19:25So Moses went down to the people and told them.
