1In the third month, the squad dipped from Egypt and rolled into the Sinai wilderness on the same day. Vibes.

2They bounced from Rephidim, hit the desert of Sinai, and set up camp; Israel was chilling before the mountain.

3Moses climbed up to God, and the Lord hit him up from the mountain, saying, "Tell Jacob’s crew this."

4You’ve seen how I handled the Egyptians and lifted you up like eagles; I brought you close, no cap.

5So, if you vibe with my voice and keep my covenant, you’ll be my special treasure above everyone else: the whole earth is mine.

6You’ll be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words you gotta tell Israel.

7Moses called the elders of the people and laid out all the words the Lord told him.

8The whole squad answered, saying, "We’ll do everything the Lord said." Moses took those words back to God.

9The Lord told Moses, "I’m coming to you in a thick cloud, so the people can hear me and trust you forever." Moses shared the people’s words with the Lord.

10The Lord said to Moses, "Go tell the people to get ready today and tomorrow, and let them wash their drip."

11Be ready by the third day: the Lord will show up for everyone at mount Sinai.

12Set boundaries around the people, saying, "Don’t go up the mountain or touch it; anyone who does will get wrecked."

13No one can touch it, or they’ll be stoned or shot; whether beast or dude, they won’t survive. When the trumpet blasts long, they can come up.

14Moses came down from the mountain to the people and made them holy; they washed their clothes.

15He told the people, "Get ready for the third day; don’t mess around with your wives."

16On the third day morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; the trumpet was super loud, making everyone in the camp shake.

17Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18Mount Sinai was lit with smoke because the Lord showed up in fire; the smoke went up like a furnace, and the whole mountain shook hard.

19When the trumpet sounded long and got louder, Moses spoke, and God replied with a voice.

20The Lord came down on mount Sinai, called Moses to the top, and Moses went up.

21The Lord told Moses, "Go down, warn the people not to break through to see the Lord, or many will be lost."

22And the priests who get close to the Lord need to keep it holy, or the Lord will come at them.

23Moses said to the Lord, "The people can’t come up to mount Sinai; you told us to set boundaries and keep it holy."

24The Lord replied, "Go down, bring Aaron with you, but don’t let the priests and people break through to see the Lord, or He’ll come at them."

25So Moses went down to the people and told them what’s up.

1In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

2For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

3And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

4Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

5Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

6And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

7And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.

8And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.

9And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.

10And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

11And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

12And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

13There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

14And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

15And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

16And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

17And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

18And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

19And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

20And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

21And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.

22And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.

23And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

24And the Lord said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break forth upon them.

25So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
