At Sinai, Moses went up into the mountain unto God. And God
called his name and said, “Moses, tell the children of Israel , you
have seen what I have done unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagle’s
wings and brought you unto myself.
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. And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words I want you to speak unto
the children of Israel .”
So Moses
descended and called all the elders and the people together and told them all
the words of God as He had commanded him. And all the people answered in unison
and said, “All that the Lord has commanded us to do, we will do.” And so Moses told the Lord what the people
said.
And the
Lord said to Moses, next I come to you in a thick cloud that the people may
hear when I speak with you and believe forever. And Moses told the Lord the
people were willing to listen to Him.
And the Lord told Moses, go tell the people to take a couple of days off. “Sanctify them today and tomorrow and let
them wash their clothes. And let them be ready to receive me on the third day;
for on the third day I will come down to them in plain sight and they shall see
me.”
But warn
the people not to attempt to come up on the mountain or even touch the boundaries
thereof; for anyone who touches even the border of the mountain shall be put to
death.
