Exodus 19 (WEBP)

[1] In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
[2] When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
[3] Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
[4] ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
[5] Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
[6] and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
[7] Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.
[8] All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.
[9] Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.
[10] Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
[11] and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
[12] You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
[13] No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
[14] Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
[15] He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
[16] On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
[17] Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
[18] All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
[19] When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
[20] Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
[21] Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.
[22] Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break out on them.”
[23] Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’ ”
[24] Yahweh said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break out against them.”
[25] So Moses went down to the people, and told them.

Exodus 19 (YLT)

[1] In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,
[2] and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.
[3] And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, ‘Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,
[4] Ye-ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles’ wings, and bring you in unto Myself.
[5] ‘And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine;
[6] and ye-ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these are the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.’
[7] And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;
[8] and all the people answer together and say, ‘All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;’ and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
[9] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;’ and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
[10] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,
[11] and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount Sinai.
[12] ‘And thou hast made a border for the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly put to death;
[13] a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.’
[14] And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;
[15] and he saith unto the people, ‘Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.’
[16] And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who are in the camp do tremble.
[17] And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,
[18] and mount Sinai is wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly;
[19] and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.
[20] And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.
[21] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;
[22] and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.’
[23] And Moses saith unto Jehovah, ‘The people is unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou-Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border for the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.’
[24] And Jehovah saith unto him, ‘Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon them.’
[25] And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them:-
