Exodus 19:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² The priests also that come to the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them.

²³ And Moses said to the Lord: The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou did charge, and command, saying: Set limits about the mount, and sanctify it.

²⁴ And the Lord said to him: Go, get thee down: and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people pass the limits, nor come up to the Lord, lest he kill them.
