Exodus 19:16 CPDV

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.

¹⁸  Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.
