IN the third month, when the children of Yashar'el were gone forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, the same day came they into the wilderness of Ciynai.
For they were departed from Rephiydiym, and were come to the desert of Ciynai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Yashar'el camped before the Mount.
And Mosheh went up unto Elohiym, and Yahuah called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Ya`aqov, and tell the children of Yashar'el;
Ye have seen what I did unto the Mitsriym, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and guard my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Yashar'el.
And Mosheh came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces את all these words which Yahuah commanded him.
And all the people answered together, and said, All that Yahuah has spoken we will do. And Mosheh returned the words of the people unto El-Yahuah.
And Yahuah said unto 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 El-Yahuah.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes,
And be ready against the third day: for the third day Yahuah will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Ciynai.
And you shall 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 touches the Mount shall be surely put to death:
There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the shofar sounds long, they shall come up to the Mount.
And Mosheh went down from the Mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your women.
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.
And Mosheh brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with Elohiym; and they stood at the nether part of the Mount.
And Mount Ciynai was altogether on a smoke, because Yahuah descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
And when the voice of the shofar sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Mosheh spoke, and Elohiym answered him by a voice.
And Yahuah came down upon Mount Ciynai, on the top of the Mount: and Yahuah called Mosheh up to the top of the Mount; and Mosheh went up.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto El-Yahuah to gaze, and many of them perish.
And let the priests also, which come near to El-Yahuah, sanctify themselves, lest Yahuah break forth upon them.
And Mosheh said unto El-Yahuah, The people cannot come up to Mount Ciynai: for you charged us, saying, Set bounds about the Mount, and sanctify it.
And Yahuah said unto him, Away, get you down, and you shall come up, you, and Aharon with you: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto El-Yahuah, lest he break forth upon them.
So Mosheh went down unto the people, and spoke unto them.
