14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; ado not come near your wives.”
16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were athunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp btrembled.
17 And Moses brought thae people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 Now aMount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon bit in fire. cIts smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and1 the dwhole mountain quaked greatly.
19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, aMoses spoke, and bGod answered him by voice.
20 Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through ato gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish.
22 Also let the apriests who come near the Lord bconsecrate themselves, lest the Lord cbreak out against them.”
23 But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, a‘Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.’ ”
