| [1]In the third month after the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. |
[1]In the third month, after the children of Israel were gone out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. |
| [2]And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount. |
[2]For they departed from Rephidim, and came to the desert of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness: even there Israel camped before the mount. |
| [3]And Moses went up unto God, and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 called unto him out of the mountain saying: 'Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: |
[3]But Moses went up unto God, for the Lord had called out of the mount unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel, |
| [4]Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself. |
[4]Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I carried you upon eagles' wings, and have brought you unto me. |
| [5]N therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine ow treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; |
[5]Now therefore if ye will hear my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be my chief treasure above all people, though all the earth be mine. |
| [6]And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.' |
[6]Ye shall be unto me also a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. |
| [7]And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 commanded him. |
[7]Moses then came and called for the elders of the people, and proposed unto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him. |
| [8]And all the people answered together, and said: 'All that 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath spoken we will do.' And Moses reported the words of the people unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[8]And the people answered all together, and said, All that the Lord hath commanded, we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people unto the Lord. |
| [9]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever.' And Moses told the words of the people unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[9]And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear, while I talk with thee, and that they may also believe thee forever. (for Moses had told the words of the people unto the Lord) |
| [10]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments, |
[10]Moreover, the Lord said unto Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. |
| [11]And be ready against the third day; for the third day 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. |
[11]And let them be ready on the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai: |
| [12]And 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; |
[12]And thou shalt set marks unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that ye go not up to the mount, nor touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely die. |
| [13]No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live; when the ram's horn soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.' |
[13]No hand shall touch it, but he shall be stoned to death, or stricken through with darts: whether it be beast or man, he shall not live: when the horn bloweth long, they shall come up into the mountain. |
| [14]And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments. |
[14]Then Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. |
| [15]And he said unto the people: 'Be ready against the third day; come not near a woman.' |
[15]And he said unto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wives. |
| [16]And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a horn exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled. |
[16]And the third day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people, that was in the camp, was afraid. |
| [17]And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. |
[17]Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meet with God, and they stood in the nether part of the mount. |
| [18]Now mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. |
[18]And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because the Lord came down upon it in fire, and the smoke thereof ascended, as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly. |
| [19]And when the voice of the horn waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice. |
[19]And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voice. |
| [20]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount; and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. |
[20](For the Lord came down upon mount Sinai on the top of the mount) and when the Lord called Moses up into the top of the mount, Moses went up. |
| [21]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto Moses: 'Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 to gaze, and many of them perish. |
[21]Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, that they break not their bounds, to go up to the Lord to gaze, lest many of them perish. |
| [22]And let the priests also, that come near to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, sanctify themselves, lest 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 break forth upon them.' |
[22]And let the priests also which come to the Lord be sanctified, lest the Lord destroy them. |
| [23]And Moses said unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: 'The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou didst charge us, saying: Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.' |
[23]And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up into the mount Sinai: for thou hast charged us, saying, Set marks on the mountain, and sanctify it. |
| [24]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto him: 'Go, 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, lest He break forth upon them.' |
[24]And the Lord said unto him, Go, get thee down, and come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break their bounds to come up unto the Lord, lest he destroy them. |
| [25]So Moses went down unto the people, and told them. |
[25]So Moses went down unto the people, and told them. |
