Exodus 19 — Scripture text (King James Version)
In the third7992 month2320, when the children1121 of 3478 were gone forth3318 out of the land776 of 4714, the same day3117 came935 they into the wilderness4057 of Sinai5514. For they were departed5265 from 7508, and were come935 to the desert4057 of Sinai5514, and had pitched2583 in the wilderness4057; and there 3478 camped2583 before the mount2022. And 4872 went up5927 unto God430, and the LORD3068 called7121 unto him out of the mountain2022, saying559, Thus shalt thou say559 to the house1004 of 3290, and tell5046 the children1121 of 3478; Ye have seen7200 what I did6213 unto the 4714, and how I bare5375 you eagles'5404 wings3671, and brought935 you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey8085 my voice6963 indeed8085, and keep8104 my 1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure5459 unto me above all people5971: for all the earth776 is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom4467 of priests3548, and an holy6918 nation1471. These are the words1697 which thou shalt speak1696 unto the children1121 of 3478. And 4872 came935 and called7121 for the elders2205 of the people5971, and laid7760 before their faces6440 all these words1697 which the LORD3068 commanded6680 him. And all the people5971 answered6030 together3162, and said559, All that the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 we will do6213. And 4872 returned7725 the words1697 of the people5971 unto the LORD3068. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 4872, Lo, I come935 unto thee in a thick5645 cloud6051, that the people5971 may hear8085 when I speak1696 with thee, and believe539 thee for ever5769. And 4872 told5046 the words1697 of the people5971 unto the LORD3068. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 4872, Go3212 unto the people5971, and sanctify6942 them to day3117 and to morrow4279, and let them wash3526 their clothes8071, And be ready3559 against the third7992 day3117: for the third7992 day3117 the LORD3068 will come down3381 in the sight5869 of all the people5971 upon mount2022 Sinai5514. And thou shalt set bounds1379 unto the people5971 round about5439, saying559, Take heed8104 to yourselves, that ye go not up5927 into the mount2022, or touch5060 the border7097 of it: whosoever toucheth5060 the mount2022 shall be surely4191 to death4191: There shall not an hand3027 touch5060 it, but he shall surely5619 be stoned5619, or176 shot3384 through3384; whether it be beast929 or518 man376, it shall not live2421: when the 3104 soundeth long4900, they shall come up5927 to the mount2022. : or, cornet And 4872 went down3381 from the mount2022 unto the people5971, and sanctified6942 the people5971; and they washed3526 their clothes8071. And he said559 unto the people5971, Be1961 ready3559 against the third7969 day3117: come5066 not at your wives802. And it came to pass the third7992 day3117 in the morning1242, that there were thunders6963 and lightnings1300, and a thick3515 cloud6051 upon the mount2022, and the voice6963 of the 7782 exceeding3966 loud2389; so that all the people5971 that was in the camp4264 trembled2729. And 4872 brought forth3318 the people5971 out of the camp4264 to meet7125 with God430; and they stood3320 at the nether8482 part of the mount2022. And mount2022 Sinai5514 was altogether a smoke6225, because6440 834 the LORD3068 descended3381 upon it in fire784: and the smoke6227 thereof ascended5927 as the smoke6227 of a furnace3536, and the whole mount2022 quaked2729 greatly3966. And when the voice6963 of the 7782 sounded6963 long1980, and waxed louder2390 and louder3966, 4872 spake1696, and God430 answered6030 him by a voice6963. And the LORD3068 came down3381 upon mount2022 Sinai5514, the top7218 of the mount2022: and the LORD3068 called7121 4872 up to413 the top7218 of the mount2022; and 4872 went up5927. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 4872, Go down3381, charge5749 the people5971, lest they break through2040 unto the LORD3068 to gaze7200, and many7227 of them perish5307. charge: Heb. contest And let the priests3548 also, which come near5066 to the LORD3068, sanctify6942 themselves, lest the LORD3068 break forth6555 upon them. And 4872 said559 unto the LORD3068, The people5971 cannot3201 come up5927 to mount2022 Sinai5514: for thou chargedst5749 us, saying559, Set bounds1379 about the mount2022, and sanctify6942 it. And the LORD3068 said559 unto him, Away3212, get thee down3381, and thou shalt come up5927, thou, and 175 with thee: but let not the priests3548 and the people5971 break through2040 to come up5927 unto the LORD3068, lest he break forth6555 upon them. So 4872 went down3381 unto the people5971, and spake559 unto them.
