1In the third moneth when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernesse of Sinai.Select Exodus 19:1

2For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wildernesse, and there Israel camped before the mount.Select Exodus 19:2

3And Moses went vp vnto God: and the Lord called vnto him out of the mountaine, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iacob, and tell the children of Israel:Select Exodus 19:3

4Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on Eagles wings, and brought you vnto my selfe.Select Exodus 19:4

5Now therfore if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keepe my couenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure vnto me aboue all people: for all the earth is mine.Select Exodus 19:5

6And ye shall be vnto me a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the wordes which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel.Select Exodus 19:6

7And Moses came and called for the Elders of the people, and layd before their faces all these wordes which the Lord commanded him.Select Exodus 19:7

8And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken, we will doe. And Moses returned the wordes of the people vnto the Lord.Select Exodus 19:8

9And the Lord said vnto Moses, Loe, I come vnto thee in a thicke cloud, that the people may heare when I speake with thee, and beleeue thee for euer: And Moses told the wordes of the people vnto the Lord.Select Exodus 19:9

10And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Goe vnto the people, and sanctifie them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes.Select Exodus 19:10

11And be ready against the thirde day: for the third day the Lord will come downe in the sight of all the people, vpon mount Sinai.Select Exodus 19:11

12And thou shalt set bounds vnto the people round about, saying, Take heed to your selues, that ye goe not vp into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoeuer toucheth the mount, shall be surely put to death.Select Exodus 19:12

13There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned or shot thorow, whether it be beast, or man, it shall not liue: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come vp to the mount.Select Exodus 19:13

14And Moses went downe from the mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.Select Exodus 19:14

15And hee said vnto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wiues.Select Exodus 19:15

16And it came to passe on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thicke cloud vpon the mount, and the voyce of the trumpet exceeding lowd, so that all the people that was in the campe, trembled.Select Exodus 19:16

17And Moses brought foorth the people out of the campe to meete with God, and they stood at the nether part of the mount.Select Exodus 19:17

18And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended vpon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.Select Exodus 19:18

19And when the voyce of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed lowder and lowder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voyce.Select Exodus 19:19

20And the Lord came downe vpon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses vp to the top of the mount, and Moses went vp.Select Exodus 19:20

21And the Lord said vnto Moses, Goe downe, charge the people, lest they breake thorow vnto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.Select Exodus 19:21

22And let the Priestes also which come neere to the Lord, sanctifie themselues, lest the Lord breake foorth vpon them.Select Exodus 19:22

23And Moses said vnto the Lord, The people cannot come vp to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst vs, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctifie it.Select Exodus 19:23

24And the Lord said vnto him, Away, get thee downe, and thou shalt come vp, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the Priestes and the people breake through, to come vp vnto the Lord, lest hee breake foorth vpon them.Select Exodus 19:24

25So Moses went downe vnto the people, and spake vnto them.Select Exodus 19:25
