The People Come To Sinai, YAHWEH'S Message To Them, And Their Answer

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:1

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:2

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:3

  3    And Mosheh went up unto YAHWEH, and YAHWEH called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Yacob, and tell the children of Yisrael;

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:4

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:5

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:6

  6    And you shall be unto me a kingdom of kohenim, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Yisrael.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:7

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:8

  8    And all the people answered together, and said, All that YAHWEH has spoken we will do. And Mosheh returned the words of the people unto YAHWEH.

The People Directed To Prepare To Hear The Torah

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:9

  9     ?  And YAHWEH said to Mosheh, Lo, I come unto you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. And Mosheh told the words of the people unto YAHWEH.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:10

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:11

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:12

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:13

  13    There 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 rams' horn sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:14

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:15

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

The Presence Of YAHWEH On Sinai

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:16

  16     ?  And 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 shofar exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:17

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:18

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:19

  19    And when the voice of the shofar sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Mosheh spoke, and YAHWEH answered him by a voice.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:20

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:21

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:22

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

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:23

  23    And Mosheh said to YAHWEH, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for you charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:24

  24    And YAHWEH said to him, Away, get you down, and you shall come up, you, and Aaron with you: but let not the kohenim and the people break through to come up unto YAHWEH, lest he break forth upon them.

SHEMOTH - EXODUS 19:25

  25    So Mosheh went down unto the people, and spoke unto them.
