Exodus 19:18-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Lord Visits Sinai
18 (A)Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the Lord descended upon it (B)in fire; and its smoke ascended like (C)the smoke of a furnace, and (D)the whole mountain [a]quaked violently. 19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and (E)God answered him with [b]thunder. 20 (F)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. 21 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go down, [c]warn the people, so that (G)they do not break through to the Lord to gaze, and many of them [d]perish. 22 Also let the (H)priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, or else the Lord will break out against them.” 23 Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for You [e]warned us, saying, ‘(I)Set bounds about the mountain and consecrate it.’”
