Exodus 19:11-18

[11] And be ready  against 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  [13] There shall not an hand  touch  it, but he shall surely  or  shot  whether it be beast  or  man,  it shall not live:  when the trumpet  soundeth long,  they shall come up  to the mount.  [14] And 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 at your wives.  [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 trumpet  exceeding  loud;  so that all the people  that was in the camp  trembled.  [17] And Moses  brought forth  the people  out of the camp  to meet  with God;  and they stood  at the nether  part of the mount.  [18] And mount  Sinai  was altogether on a smoke,  because  the LORD  descended  upon it in fire:  and the smoke  thereof ascended  as the smoke  of a furnace,  and the whole mount  quaked  greatly.
