2. And when they set out from Reph'idim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

3. Moses then went up to God, and Yahweh called to him from the mountain, saying, 'Say this to the House of Jacob! Tell the Israelites,

3. And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:

4. "You have seen for yourselves what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you away on eagle's wings and brought you to me.

4. You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

5. So now, if you are really prepared to obey me and keep my covenant, you, out of all peoples, shall be my personal possession, for the whole world is mine.

5. Now therefore, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my own possession among all peoples; for all the earth is mine,

6. For me you shall be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation." Those are the words you are to say to the Israelites.'

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. So Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD had commanded him.

8. and the people all replied with one accord, 'Whatever Yahweh has said, we will do.' Moses then reported to Yahweh what the people had said.

8. And all the people answered together and said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do." And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.

9. Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Look, I shall come to you in a dense cloud so that the people will hear when I speak to you and believe you ever after.' Moses then told Yahweh what the people had said.

9. And the LORD said to Moses, "Lo, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you for ever." Then Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

10. Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Go to the people and tell them to sanctify themselves today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

10. And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

11. and be ready for the day after tomorrow; for the day after tomorrow, in the sight of all the people, Yahweh will descend on Mount Sinai.

11. and be ready by the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

12. You will mark out the limits of the mountain and say, "Take care not to go up the mountain or to touch the edge of it. Anyone who touches the mountain will be put to death.

12. And you shall set bounds for the people round about, saying, `Take heed that you do not go up into the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death;

13. No one may lay a hand on him: he must be stoned or shot by arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live." When the ram's horn sounds a long blast, they must go up the mountain.'

13. no hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain."

14. So Moses came down from the mountain to the people; he made the people sanctify themselves and they washed their clothes.

14. So Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments.

15. He then said to the people, 'Be ready for the day after tomorrow; do not touch a woman.'

15. And he said to the people, "Be ready by the third day; do not go near a woman."

16. Now at daybreak two days later, there were peals of thunder and flashes of lightning, dense cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast; and, in the camp, all the people trembled.

16. On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17. Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the bottom of the mountain.

17. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.

18. Mount Sinai was entirely wrapped in smoke, because Yahweh had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke rose like smoke from a furnace and the whole mountain shook violently.

18. And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

19. Louder and louder grew the trumpeting. Moses spoke, and God answered him in the thunder.

19. And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder.

20. And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21. Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Go down and warn the people not to break through to look at Yahweh, or many of them will perish.

21. And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze and many of them perish.

22. Even the priests, who do have access to Yahweh, must sanctify themselves, or Yahweh may burst out against them.'

22. And also let the priests who come near to the LORD consecrate themselves, lest the LORD break out upon them."

23. Moses said to Yahweh, 'The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, since you yourself warned us to mark out the limits of the mountain and declare it sacred.'

23. And Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for thou thyself didst charge us, saying, `Set bounds about the mountain, and consecrate it.'"

24. Yahweh said, 'Away with you! Go down! Then come back bringing Aaron with you. But do not allow the priests and people to break through to come up to Yahweh, or he may burst out against them.'

24. And the LORD said to him, "Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you; but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break out against them."
