Exodus 19:15 CPDV

¹³  Hands shall not touch him, but he shall be crushed with stones, or he shall be pierced through with darts. Whether it be a beast or a man, he shall not live. For when the trumpet begins to sound, perhaps they might go up toward the mountain.'

¹⁴  And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and he sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,

¹⁵  he said to them, 'Be prepared on the third day, and do not draw near to your wives.'

¹⁶  And now, the third day arrived and the morning dawned. And behold, thunders began to be heard, and also lightning flashed, and a very dense cloud covered the mountain, and the noise of the trumpet resounded vehemently. And the people who were in the camp were fearful.

¹⁷  And when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.
